Administrator Guide

clido

To configure any command on the device directly without handling it via the telenet or ssh sessions,

use the clido system command.

Syntax: clido “CLI command”

Example

clido "configure terminal"

clido "interface vlan 10"

clido "no shutdown"

clido "end"

clido "show vlan"

NOTE: clido maintains context upon execution in the system. To handle such cases, switch

between different submodes wherever required for the needed configurations.

The clido utility has no pagination, is always set to “terminal length 0”, and has Dell Networking OS CLI

privilege 15 enabled. It works in the following modes:

• Continues mode (clido command) — use to retain the Dell Networking OS context.

• Reset mode (clido —r command)

— use to reset the CLI command to its original context.

Sample script for clido in zsh

#/usr/bin/zsh

clido –r "configure terminal" #usage of –r is to forcefully go to exec mode

clido "interface vlan 10"

clido "no shutdown"

clido “name MailServer_Vlan”

exit 0

dellsh

To parse a list of commands line by line in any given text file and configure it on the device, use the

dellsh system command.

Syntax: dellsh <cli-file>

Sample script for dellsh in Python

#! /usr/pkg/bin/python

import os

os.system("dellsh '/usr/pkg/ss-scripts/dellsh.txt'")

Dellsh can also be used as

Dell#script execute dellsh args /usr/pkg/ss-scripts/dellsh.txt

Sample dellsh parser file

#! /usr/bin/dellsh

configure terminal

interface vlan 10
