Dell SmartScript Utilities

Dell SmartScript utility is an easy API handler for scripting. When you install the Smart Scripting package,

sample Perl, Python, and Ruby scripts install in the /usr/pkg/scripts/sample_scripts directory.

You can also create your own customized scripts and store them anywhere on the switch, such as in

a /f10/flash_scripts directory.

In addition, Dell SmartScript Utils uses the Perl, Python, and Ruby APIs to create scripts that invoke

function calls directly in the Dell Networking OS commands.
