Configuration Scripting
This section describes the Configuration Scripting feature.
Overview
Configuration Scripting:
• Allows you to generate text-formatted files
• Provides scripts that can be uploaded and downloaded to the system
• Provides flexibility to create command configuration scripts
• May be applied to several switches
• Can save up to ten scripts or 500K of memory
• Provides List, Delete, Apply, Upload, Download
• Provides script format of one CLI command per line
Considerations
• Total number of scripts stored on box limited by NVRAM/FLASH size.
• Application of scripts is partial if script fails. For example, if the script executes five of ten
commands and the script fails, the script stops at five.
• Scripts cannot be modified or deleted while being applied.
• Validation of scripts checks for syntax errors only. It does not validate that the script will run.
