Saving Configuration Commands to a File on a Bay Networks Device
You can save the output of any
show config
command to a file on a Bay
Networks device. Output you save to a file using the
show config -file
command
does not also appear on the console device.
You can later use the BCC
source
command to import (merge) configuration data
from a file into the active device configuration.
You cannot import commands saved to a file from output of any
show config
command containing the
-compact
option. (The
-compact
option eliminates
back
commands necessary for navigation in BCC configuration mode.)
Examples:
show config -file
show config -all -file
show config -verbose -file
show config -recursive -file
show config -compact -file
show config -all -verbose -file
show config -all -verbose -compact -file
Adding Comments to a Command File
You can use a text editor (such as vi on a UNIX workstation) to add descriptive
comments to a BCC command file. Enter comments in the following format:
<command>
;#
<comment>
or
#
<comment>
<command>
Example:
box#
board slot 1 type ansed;# 192.168.47.129 192.168.47.21
