Switch Management Commands 1967
User Guidelines
When copying files from the switch, match a source parameter with a
destination URL. When copying to the switch, match a source URL to a
destination parameter. URLs may not exceed 160 characters in length,
including filename, file path, hostname, ip address, user, and reserved
keywords. Script download performs syntax checking of downloaded scripts. If
a syntax error is detected, the user is prompted to save the file. If no error is
detected, the file is saved in the target file name.
When copying scripts to the switch, use the script <filename> target syntax.
Internally, all scripts, including the startup-config and backup-config, are
stored with a header. The header is added when the script is downloaded to
the switch and removed when the script is uploaded from the switch. Using
the flash://<filename> syntax as the target or source bypasses adding of the
script header, ensuring that when a script is applied on the switch which was
previously copied to the switch using the flash://<filename> syntax, a syntax
error will result.
Downloaded scripts are executed from privileged exec mode and should
contain a configure command as the first line of the script in order to enter
global configuration mode.
To configure TLS to use a particular CA root certificate with a client
certificate and client key for connecting to a SYSLOG server, all three of the
files must have the same index as is configured for the SYSLOG server.
If a CA root certificate, client certificate, or client key file is downloaded with
no index specified, it becomes the default set of certificates/key file for TLS
used when connecting to any SYSLOG server not configured with an index.
CA Root certificates may be self signed or signed by a certificate authority.
