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 session 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)
Hardware is Fibre Channel
Port WWN is 20:01:00:05:30:00:8e:1e
Admin port mode is auto, trunk mode is on
Port vsan is 1
Receive data field Size is 2112
Beacon is turned off
5 minutes input rate 0 bits/sec, 0 bytes/sec, 0 frames/sec
5 minutes output rate 0 bits/sec, 0 bytes/sec, 0 frames/sec
1 frames input, 128 bytes
0 discards, 0 errors
0 CRC, 0 unknown class
0 too long, 0 too short
1 frames output, 128 bytes
0 discards, 0 errors
0 input OLS, 0 LRR, 0 NOS, 0 loop inits
0 output OLS, 0 LRR, 0 NOS, 0 loop inits
0 receive B2B credit remaining
0 transmit B2B credit remaining
The following example shows how you can pass CLI session variable as arguments to a child run-script
command process.
switch# show file bootflash:test1.vsh
show interface $(var1) $(var2)
switch# run bootflash:test2.vsh var1="fc1/1" var2="brief"
`show interface $(var1) $(var2)`

Setting the Delay Time

The sleep command delays an action by a specified number of seconds.
The syntax for this command is sleep seconds.
switch# sleep 30
You will see the switch prompt return after 30 seconds.
