netconfig a macro on all switches

[lni1]

Dear,

When pushing a macro using netconfig I encounter a weird problem, the lines that begin with # are ignored, how can I push these lines anyway ?? Perhaps with an escape character ??

Many thanks

Please provide an example of what you are trying to push.

I am trying to push a macro, the lines beginning with an # are ignored.

macro name ci

# macro keywords $int

# interface macro ci (= Clear Interface) :

# clears all the configuration from an interface and shuts it down

default interface $int

interface $int

shutdown

This is a conflict between RME's comment character, and a comment character in IOS. Fortunately, you can use '!' instead of '#' for your macro comments, and the application of the macro will ignore those lines. Netconfig will not ignore lines that that with '!'.

The "#macro keywords $int" is not really comment, very weird use of # !!

when you do an : "macro apply ci ?" the interpreter adds "e.g. $int" in the following line :

Keyword to replace with a value e.g. $int

When replacing # by ! it is comment and notting is done, is there a workaround ??

macro name ci

# macro keywords $int

# interface macro ci (= Clear Interface) :

# clears all the configuration from an interface

I uses ciscocmd instead and a script to push the whole thing into our switches.

CW still has a lot to learn...
