Handling Interactive Commands

An interactive command is the input you will have to enter, following the execution of a command.

For example, on a Catalyst device, a clear counters command on a Cat 5000 will give the following

output:

c5000# (enable) clear counters. This command will reset all MAC and port counters reported

in CLI and SNMP. Do you want to continue (y/n) [n]?

In RME, such commands can be included in config jobs executed via NetConfig or ConfigEditor. For

more details also see Editing and Deploying Configurations Using Config Editor.

You can handle interactive commands using NetConfig user-defined templates, and by using Adhoc

tasks. See Using NetConfig User-defined Templates and Adhoc Tasks.

You cannot run interactive commands through NetConfig CLI.

You can enter an interactive command in the Enter CLI Commands area, using the following syntax:

CLI Command<R>command response 1 <R>command response 2

<R> tag is case-sensitive and this must be entered in uppercase only.

Example

For a Catalyst device, a clear counters command will give the following output

c5000# (enable) clear counters This command will reset all MAC and port counters reported

in CLI and SNMP. Do you want to continue (y/n) [n]?

To clear the counter, the syntax is:

clear counters <R>y

To accept the default, the syntaxes are:

clear counters <R>n

clear counters <R>
