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:
Viewing a Configuration Script File
To view the config script, use the script show scriptname.scr command.
Command Syntax Command Mode Purpose
show running-config <scriptname>.scr
Privileged Exec Create a configuration script by specific name.
Note: Starting with Release 2.3, you can use show running-config startup-config to achieve the
same effect as you can with show running-config <scriptname>.scr. The resulting startup-config is
a text file that you can save to a server and download to any switch.
Force10 #show running-config test.scr
Config script created successfully.
