After you log in to the switch through Telnet, you can issue commands to the switch by way of
pasting session text, which cannot exceed 2000 bytes, and the pasted commands must be in the
same view; otherwise, the switch may not execute the commands correctly.
If the session text exceeds 2000 bytes, you can save it in a configuration file, upload the
configuration file to the switch and reboot the switch with this configuration file. For details, refer to
