The template file contains Telnet commands that Telnet executes sequentially. This is why this template file is also referred to as a script file.
Note: For an overview of available telnet commands, see the Reference Manual section Commands for the CLI.
A configuration template file can appear as follows:
lang English flash No set /Setup/Name "$DEVICE_NAME$" set /Setup/SNMP/Location "$DEVICE_LOCATION$" cd /Setup/TCP-IP/Network-list tab Network-name IP-Address IP-Netmask VLAN-ID Interface Src-check Type Rtg-tag Comment add "INTRANET" $DEVICE_ADDRESS$ 255.255.255.0 0 any loose Intranet 0 "local intranet" cd / cd /Setup/WAN/PPP tab Peer Authent.request Authent-response Key Time Try Conf Fail Term Username Rights add "INTERNET" none PAP "$KEY$" 6 5 10 5 2 "$USER$" IP cd / cd /Setup/WAN/DSL-Broadband-Peers del * tab Peer SH-Time AC-name Servicename WAN-layer ATM-VPI ATM-VCI MAC-Type user-def.-MAC DSL-ifc(s) VLAN-ID add "INTERNET" 9999 "" "" "PPPOEOA" 1 32 local 000000000000 "" 0 cd / cd /Setup/IP-Router/IP-Routing-Table tab IP-Address IP-Netmask Rtg-tag Peer-or-IP Distance Masquerade Active Comment add 255.255.255.255 0.0.0.0 0 "INTERNET" 0 on Yes "default route" cd / flash Yes # done exit
The variables begin and end with a character or a string (here: '$').
In this template file, the variables represent certain device parameters. During the import process, you associate these variables with the corresponding entries in the device file. The Configuration Wizard then replaces the variables with the associated device data from the CSV file.
