Using Cli Variables In Scripts - Cisco AP776A - Nexus Converged Network Switch 5020 Configuration Manual

Command Scripts
S e n d d o c u m e n t a t i o n c o m m e n t s t o m d s f e e d b a c k - d o c @ c i s c o . c o m
The syntax for this command is run-script filename.
This example displays the CLI commands specified in the testfile that resides in the slot0 directory:
switch# show file slot0:testfile
conf t
interface fc 1/1
no shutdown
end
sh interface fc1/1
This file output is in response to the run-script command executing the contents in the testfile file:
switch# run-script slot0:testfile
'conf t'
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
'interface fc1/1'
'no shutdown'
'end'
'sh interface fc1/1'
fc1/1 is down (Fcot not present)

Using CLI Variables in Scripts

You can use CLI variables defined by the cli var command (see the
page
The following example shows how to use CLI variables in a script file used by the run-script command:
switch# cli var name testinterface fc 1/1
switch# show file bootflash:test1.vsh
show interface $(testvar)
switch# run-script bootflash:test1.vsh
`show interface $(testvar)`
fc1/1 is down (SFP not present)
