bcmloadconfig

Syntax bcmloadconfig [-s “<service1> [<service2>...]” -l <line number>] [-i] -f

<config file path>/<filename> <device> [-b] [-t:<reboot timeout>]

Description You can execute multiple commands on the Enterprise OS user interface at once by entering the commands in a text file, then loading the file. The bcmloadconfig utility copies a specified configuration file to the bridge/router or switch and executes the commands in the file.

The utility can execute only the SETDefault, SHow, SHowDefault, ADD, DELete, and SAVEbgp commands. Blank lines and comment lines (lines beginning with the

#character) are allowed in the file. If the command requires more than one line, the backslash (\) can be used to terminate the current line and to indicate that the command continues on the next line. A line cannot contain more than one command.

If you specify one or more services, only the commands belonging to those services are executed. Up to 10 services can be specified. Instead of specifying a service, you can specify a line number to indicate the starting line number within the file to execute.

By default, the bcmloadconfig utility terminates whenever it detects a bad command, a command that is not supported by the bcmloadconfig utility, or a command that fails to execute successfully on the bridge/router. If -i is specified, the utility continues execution when an error is encountered.

All commands and comments and any generated messages are written to the CONFIG.LOG file in the /tftpboot/CLIENTS/<MAC address>/cfg/ directory on the NMS. Any passwords specified in the commands are replaced by a string of asterisks. Skipped commands are not written to the CONFIG.LOG file.

Values

-s “<service1> [<service2>...]”

executed. Up to 10 services may be specified.

 

The default is to execute the configuration

 

commands for all services.

The Line in the configuration file to be

 

executed. Comments and blank lines are

 

considered lines in the file.

 

-s and -l are mutually exclusive.

-i

Continue executing commands even when

 

errors are detected.

-f <config file path>

The directory containing the command file that

 

is to be executed. The default path is the

 

current working directory.
