CLI-based scripting allows you to create a list of commands that you can execute manually with a single command or automatically when a special event occurs.
CLI-based scripting supports variables and functions, so that you can write scripts that operate unmodified on multiple switches and in different environments. It allows you to significantly automate switch management.
Note
Special scripts can be used to configure the switch when it boots. For more information, see Using Autoconfigure and Autoexecute Files.
