• Keyword matching is case-sensitive
• Applying a macro with keywords does not change the state of the original
macro definition.
User Feedback
The behavior of a macro command requiring user feedback is the same as if
the command is entered from terminal: it sends its prompt to the terminal
and accepts the user reply.
Creating a Macro
Use the following guidelines to create a macro:
• Use macro name to create the macro with the specified name.
• Enter one macro command per line.
• Use the
@ character to end the macro.
• Use the # character at the beginning of a line to enter a comment in the
macro.
In addition, # is used to identify certain preprocessor commands that
can only be used within a macro. There are two possible preprocessor
commands:
–
#macro key description - Each macro can be configured with up to 3
keyword/description pairs. The keywords and descriptions are
displayed in the GUI pages when the macro is displayed.
– The syntax for this preprocessor command is as follows:
– #macro key description $ keyword1 description1 $keyword2
description2 $keyword3 description3
– A keyword must be prefixed with '$'.
– # macro keywords - This instruction enables the device to display the
keywords as part of the CLI help. It accepts up to 3 keywords. The
command creates a CLI help string with the keywords for the macro.
The help string will be displayed if help on the macro is requested
from the macro and macro global commands. The GUI also uses the
keywords specified in the command as the parameter names for the
macro. See Example 2 and 3 below for a description of how this
command is used in the CLI.
