Adding and Managing a CLI Configuration Template

Using the On-demand CLI configuration feature, you can add a CLI template. The configuration applied using CLI templates gets appended to the existing configuration of the selected switches.

Complete the following steps to add a CLI template.
Note: FastIron CLI commands may be added, modified, or deprecated in any FastIron release version. To ensure that the CLI commands you intend to include in your configuration file are supported, refer to the release-specific RUCKUS FastIron Command Reference Guide and RUCKUS ICX Switches Release Notes documentation supporting the FastIron software release(s) running on your switches.
  1. On the navigation bar, click Wired > Wired Network Profiles > On-Demand CLI Configuration.
    The On-Demand CLI Configuration page is displayed with the following information:
