Parameterized configuration in RME

[roger.malik]

Hi,

i am using the paramterized scripting to configure banner motd command in which

name and location of router changes. but when i configure it & login into router it gives all the notice and details in one line while i need attached format. any idea how can i achieve it.

attaching the debug file now,kidnly take a look

I checked the code, and it looks like parameterized templates and multiline commands are mutually exclusive. I don't see why this was done, and I can't think of a good reason why these two would be exclusive.

I can provide a patch to fix this, but you will need to contact the TAC to get it. Have your engineer contact me directly, and I will send them the patch.

Actually, I think a workaround would be easier, and quicker. This will involve you putting the bulk of the banner in the parameter "XML" file. Your template will become:

banner motd "$bannertext"

Your "XML" file will become:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

NAME: RLG-2811-ANA-1-1 Anaheim,CA

workaround is not working. i think it actually dont like the space between and .

after running this, banner its not in exact sequence and appear in one line in router.

i will ask to raise the TAC with cisco and inform them to directly call you so that we can get patch for it.

thanks again clarke for the same. thanks a ton,

Hey Clarke,

i open TAC now. i think they assidged the ticket to you directly.

hey joe,

i have put a voicemail on your phone and also

drop a mail on your ID jclarke@cisco.com

if you can attach the patch and send back to me it would really help me. TAC is 607896975.
