Configuration Scripting

Configuration Scripting allows you to generate a text-formatted script file that shows the current configuration of the system. You can generate multiple scripts and upload and apply them to more than one switch.

Overview

Configuration Scripting:

Provides scripts that can be uploaded and downloaded to the system. Provides flexibility to create command configuration scripts.

Can be applied to several switches.

Can save up to ten scripts or 500K of memory. Provides List, Delete, Apply, Upload, Download. Provides script format of one CLI command per line.

Considerations

Total number of scripts stored on the system is limited by NVRAM/FLASH size.

Application of scripts is partial if script fails. For example, if the script executes five of ten commands and the script fails, the script stops at five.

Scripts cannot be modified or deleted while being applied.

Validation of scripts checks for syntax errors only. It does not validate that the script will run.

CLI Examples

The following are examples of the commands used for the Configuration Scripting feature.

Example #1: script

(DWS-3024) #script ?

apply

Applies

configuration script to the

switch.

delete

Deletes

a configuration script file

from the switch.
