Command Line Interface Scripts

This chapter describes how to create and to run Command Line Interface (CLI) scripts. For common information related to the CLI see Chapter 3, “How to Use the Command-line Interface”.

What CLI Scripts Are

Until version 2.1 of the Avaya M770 ATM Switch, there were several ways to access the Command-line interface of the M770 ATM Switch. These methods include:

Direct connection via serial port of the module

Telnet connection combined with the access command

The MSP-X menu.

CLI scripts now allow yet another way to access CLI commands. A CLI script is a plain ASCII file, which contains set of almost any usual CLI commands, and may be prepared using any text editor that is capable to store its output files in ASCII-only format - Windows' Word, Notepad or WordPad, or UNIX's vi or emacs are examples of such editors. The scripts are downloaded to the M770 ATM switch using usual tftp download procedure, and run using special command (see below). During the script running, the switch executes commands consecutively as they appear in the script. Output of the commands is stored in temporary log, or, alternatively, displayed on the console terminal. The script may be run on a single module, or on multiple modules simultaneously, if started from the Master Agent module.
