Configuration Scripting Commands
Configuration Scripting allows you to generate text-formatted script files representing the current
configuration of a system. You can upload these configuration script files to a PC or UNIX system
and edit them. Then, you can download the edited files to the system and apply the new
configuration. You can apply configuration scripts to one or more switches with no or minor
modifications.
Use the show running-config command (see “show running-config” on page 6-15) to
capture the running configuration into a script. Use the copy command (see “copy” on page 6-31)
to transfer the configuration script to or from the switch.
You should use scripts on systems with default configuration; however, you are not prevented
from applying scripts on systems with non-default configurations.
Scripts must conform to the following rules:
• Script files are not distributed across the stack, and only live in the unit that is the master unit
at the time of the file download.
• The file extension must be “.scr”.
• A maximum of ten scripts are allowed on the switch.
• The combined size of all script files on the switch shall not exceed 2048 KB.
• The maximum number of configuration file command lines is 2000.
You can type single-line annotations at the command prompt to use when you write test or
configuration scripts to improve script readability. The exclamation point (!) character flags the
beginning of a comment. The comment flag character can begin a word anywhere on the command
line, and all input following this character is ignored. Any command line that begins with the “!”
character is recognized as a comment line and ignored by the parser.
The following lines show an example of a script:
! Script file for displaying management access
