Copying and Pasting Text

Up to 1000 lines of text (or commands) can be copied and pasted into the device.
It is the user's responsibility to ensure that the text copied into the device consists
of legal commands only.
When copying and pasting commands from a configuration file, make sure that the
following conditions exist:
•
A device Configuration mode has been accessed.
Description
In a command line, square brackets indicate an optional entry.
In a command line, curly brackets indicate a selection of
compulsory parameters separated the | character. One option must
be selected. For example, flowcontrol {auto|on|off} means that for
the flowcontrol command, either auto, on, or off must be selected.
Italic text indicates a parameter.
Names of keys to be pressed are shown in bold.
Keys separated by the + character are to be pressed
simultaneously on the keyboard
Fixed-width font indicates CLI prompts, CLI commands entered by
the user, and system messages displayed on the console.
When a parameter is required to define a range of ports or
parameters and all is an option, the default for the command is all
when no parameters are defined. For example, the command
interface range port-channel has the option of either entering a
range of channels, or selecting all. When the command is entered
without a parameter, it automatically defaults to all.
