CLI command guidelines
When adding CLI commands to the configuration, use the following guidelines:
•
Only configuration templates can be added to a template defined in the CLI Template dialog
box.
•
Templates can be nested and the same template can be included several times as long as it
does not cause a circular dependency.
•
Targets for deployment are only retrieved from the template you create, not any included
templates.
•
Only configuration- level commands, those that you enter when you are in the configure
terminal mode, can be included in a device configuration. For example, you can enter the
snmp-server contact Administrator command, but you cannot enter a show run command.
•
Before you execute the reload or copy tftp commands, you must execute the exit command to
exit the config terminal.
•
Do not enter a configure terminal command. The Management application automatically
assumes the commands you enter are under the configuration level.
•
Add a space or a tab at the beginning of a command that is sublevel to the configuration
command. For example, to enter the command for an interface in the device CLI, enter the
following commands:
interface e 2/8
port-name Interleaf
•
To save the configuration to the device running configuration, either end the configuration with
the write memory command or deploy the definition using the CLI configuration payload in the
Configuration Wizard.
