Substituting Parameters
If the commands to be downloaded onto the device contain parameters, you can
specify the values for these parameters in a mapping file. You can specify the
mapping file using the -substitute option.
Before writing the missing commands to the file, the parameters are substituted
with the appropriate values as specified in the mapping file. The mapping file
contains entries in the format specified below:
[Device:Global]
Parameter1=value1
Parameter2=value2
Parameter3=value3
Parameter4=value4
[Device:Dev1]
Parameter1=value11
Parameter2=value12
Parameter5=value15
Parametersspecific to a device can be specified by entering them under the subject
[Device:Dev].
If you do not specify a valuefor that device, then the values specified globally are
taken. That is, the value under the subject [Device:Global], is taken. If there are
no values specified even at the global level, then the parameters are retained.
In the above example, the values for the parameters Parameter1, Parameter2,
Parameter5 andParameter3 in the context of the device Dev1 are value11,
value12, value15 and value3 respectively.
Note that the value for Parameter3 is taken from the value specified globally
whereas the values for Parameter1and Parameter2 override the value specified
globally.
