Creating and Running Scripts

To reduce the time required to configure one or more Broadmores, you ca n script a
series of CLI commands that can be saved to a file, uploaded to the Broadmore, and
executed as needed.
You can use a text editor or a terminal emulation program to create a script file. For
example, using a terminal emulator such as Symantec Procomm®, you can perform the
following steps to create a script and save it to a file.
A script file must meet the following requirements:
Each command must begin on a new line.
Comments or unused configuration settings must begin with a semicolon (;).
When the Broadmore’s script interpreter encounters a semicolon, all remaining
text on the line is ignored.
The file must be named as follows:
filename.scp
See Appendix G for a list of Broadmore commands.
NOTE: Do not use the following command in a script:
showi
This command is “show interactive” for the system log and requires user
input. If necessary, use the show command instead.
