Enabling and disabling interactivity for scripts

2

This chapter describes how to configure basic system parameters.

The Brocade device is configured with default parameters to allow you to begin using the basic
features of the system immediately. However, many advanced features, such as VLANs or routing
protocols for the device, must first be enabled at the system (global) level before they can be
configured.

You can find system level parameters at the Global CONFIG level of the CLI.

NOTE

Before assigning or modifying any device parameters, you must assign the IP subnet (interface)
addresses for each port.

Enabling and disabling interactivity for scripts

Table 6

lists certain configuration and action commands that are interactive by default.

Because these commands require a user response, confirmation, or result in multiple changes
across the system before the device can complete the configuration changes, they cannot be used
in scripts as they are. You can, however, disable the interactive behavior by entering the prompt
command.

Syntax: [no] prompt

The no prompt command will only disable the confirmation prompt for commands in configuration
mode. Commands executed in the EXEC mode will continue to prompt for confirmation.

Entering the no prompt command allows you to use the commands and actions that are listed in

Table 6

within scripts without difficulty. After running a script, you can re-enable the default

interactive behavior by entering the prompt command.
