Configuration Scripting

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

Overview

Configuration scripting:
• Provides scripts that can be uploaded from and downloaded to the system.
• Provides flexibility to create command configuration scripts.
• Can be applied to several switches.
• Can save up to ten scripts up to a maximum size of 2 MB of memory.
• Provides List, Delete, Apply, Upload, Download.
• Provides script format of one CLI command per line.
NOTE:
The startup-config and backup-config scripts are not bound by the 2 MB memory limit.

Considerations

When you use configuration scripting, keep the following considerations in mind:
• The total number of scripts stored on the system is limited by NVRAM/FLASH size.
• The application of scripts is partial if the 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.
