Chapter 3 Bulk Load Command 191
File format
The FILE_FORMAT command defines what versions of the bulk load commands are contained in the command file. In this release, bulk loading file formats 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 are supported. The FILE_FORMAT command is useful if a bulk load script is to be used on several switches with different releases installed. For example, the following command file may be executed on a switch installed with versions 2.50, 2.60, and 3.00:
FILE_FORMAT: 1.0
COMMAND: ONE [...]
END
FILE_FORMAT: 2.0
COMMAND: TWO [...]
END
FILE_FORMAT: 3.0
COMMAND: THREE [...]
END
The 2.50 switch will recognize and execute command ONE and ignore command TWO and command THREE. The 2.60 switch will recognize both command ONE and command TWO, but ignore command THREE. The 3.0 switch will recognize all three commands. If the command file is only being used on a 3.00 switch, the file format may be set to 1.0, 2.0, or 3.0.
