When copying and pasting commands from a configuration file, make sure that the following conditions exist: • A device Configuration mode has been accessed. • The commands contain no encrypted data, like encrypted passwords or keys. Encrypted data cannot be copied and pasted into the device. Setup Wizard The CLI supports a Setup Wizard. This is an easy-to-use user interface which quickly guides the user in setting up basic device information, so that the device can be easily managed from a Web Based Interface.
