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. System Configuration 13

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.
