Configuration scripts are ‘flat’ configuration files stored in the NVRAM. Their file names are appended
with the “.scr” extension.
The configuration scripts are editable text files that can be uploaded and downloaded to and from the
switch and a TFTP server.
See the Configuration Scripting section in the System Configuration chapter of the SFTOS Command
Reference for details on all scripting commands.
Creating a Configuration Script
One way to create a “config script” is to use a variation of the show running-config command:
Command Syntax Command Mode Purpose
show running-config
.scr
Force10 #show running-config test.scr
Config script created successfully.
This command changes the switch identifier for a switch in the
stack. The oldunit is the current switch identifier on the switch
whose identifier is to be changed. The newunit is the updated value
of the switch identifier.
