18.5 Configuration Scripting Commands

Configuration Scripting allows you to generate text-formatted script files representing the
current configuration of a system. You can upload these configuration script files to a PC
or UNIX system and edit them. Then, you can download the edited files to the system and
apply the new configuration. You can apply configuration scripts to one or more switches
with no or minor modifications.
Use the
show running-config
page 16) to capture the running configuration into a script. Use the
Section 18.2.10 "copy" on page
switch.
You should use scripts on systems with default configuration; however, you are not
prevented from applying scripts on systems with non-default configurations.
Scripts must conform to the following rules:
• Script files are not distributed across the stack, and only live in the unit that is the
master unit at the time of the file download.
• The file extension must be ".scr".
• A maximum of ten scripts are allowed on the switch.
• The combined size of all script files on the switch shall not exceed 2048 KB.
• The maximum number of configuration file command lines is 2000.
You can type single-line annotations at the command prompt to use when you write test or
configuration scripts to improve script readability. The exclamation point (!) character
flags the beginning of a comment. The comment flag character can begin a word
anywhere on the command line, and all input following this character is ignored. Any
command line that begins with the "!" character is recognized as a comment line and
ignored by the parser.
The following lines show an example of a script:
! Script file for displaying the ip interface
! Display information about interfaces
show ip interface 1/0/1 !Displays the information about the first
interface
! Display information about the next interface
show ip interface 1/0/2
! End of the script file
