FORCE10 S50-01-GE-48T-AC - No Management Interface

Josh,

I've toured around the cli, and think I have another use for these.

Is this switch programmable..(eg; update acl via shell script)?

My first thought is to use a text file to pass over a telnet session. Possible?

Or is there a better way.

Thanks for everything Josh.

Yes, you should be able to create a script file.

The S50 supports the ability to create configuration scripts, which are fully editable ASCII files.  To create a text-based configuration file, use the show running-config  command, where scriptname is a name you choose, and .scr is the file extension that identifies this as a configuration script.

(S50) #show running-config ?

all               Show all the running configuration on the switch.

      Script file name for writing active configuration.

              Press Enter to execute the command.

(S50-TAC-6) #show running-config test.scr

Config script created successfully.

(S50) #

Optionally, after it is created, a configuration script can be uploaded to a TFTP server with the copy nvram:script .scr tftp:// / .scr  command. Once the script has been uploaded, you can edit it with a text editor, make any desired changes, and download the resulting file to the target S50.

To apply a downloaded configuration script, use the script apply .scr  command. 

Wow Josh,

Much more info than I expected. Really, really appreciate your help and cli references.

Thanks
