Dell EMC SmartFabric OS10 User Guide Release 10.5.1

To execute a sequence of multiple commands, create and run a batch file. A batch file is an unformatted text file that contains two or more commands. Store the batch file in the home directory.

Use the vi editor or any other editor to create the batch file, then use the batch command to run the file. To run a series of commands in batch mode (non-interactive processing), use the batch command. OS10 automatically commits all commands in a batch file — you do not have to enter the commit command.

If a command in the batch file fails, batch operation stops at that command. The remaining commands are not executed.

• Create a batch file — for example, b.cmd — on a remote device by entering a series of commands.

  interface ethernet 1/1/1
  no shutdown
  no switchport
  ip address 172.17.4.1/24

• Copy the command file to the home directory on the switch.

  OS10# copy scp://os10user:os10passwd@10.11.222.1/home/os10/b.cmd home://b.cmd
  
  OS10# dir home
    
  Directory contents for folder: home
  Date (modified)        Size (bytes)  Name

  ...

• Execute the batch file using the batch /home/username/filename command in EXEC mode.

  OS10# batch /home/admin/b.cmd
