I am in the process of deploying some new test bench switches X4460G2 and I had an issue with original script I had but it came from from EXOS 15 and it kept throwing script errors, the errors seemed more to do with the scripting then the actual EXOS commands. So I was thinking I would try tweaking my XSF script from our X460g2 stacks, but without the stacking aspect. I was wondering how much pain I might experience using a EXOS22.7 script with EXOS 30+. As I have not been able to find a script template that is specific to EXOS 30+.
I do have siteiq, but trying to configure the basic switch from there has proved difficult as I have not been able to skip fields, it wants something in everyone and then times out, not to mention I have to configure the basic IP info before I can work with it from Siteiq. But I have not found the out of box configuration scripts in it to suit my needs it not a mass deployment, 3 individual switches with the only difference being the assigned IP.
Its just basic stuff like IP, routing, several vlans, qos profiles, security/ssh settings, snmpv3 (Siteiq).

Hi Joe,
Do you mean like removing the stacking nomenclature("1" vs "1:1" Do you know what commands it was tripping over previously?
Thanks,
Chris Thompson

I am reviewing my logs now to try and better explain it.

These type of statements:
set var snmpadminpass
set var snmpinitialmd5Privpass
even thought he variables had the contents the script choked on setting a bunch of them, it kept saying incomplete command line yada yada but if I run the command with the contents of the variable manually it the command works just fine which leads me back to a possible issue with the script flow.
The original script as download from extreme also had some logging stuff enabled which cause aborting so I removed the logging options but left the abort on error enabled. It got most of the way through the script before it aborted again from reviewing y logs I eventually got one to run completely after doing unconfigure and but then it appeared things were 100% set correctly as my logs indicated I went back and manually set a bunch of stuff.

It was not tripping over EXOS commands but scripting commands, I am referring to scripting statements . The script I original tried did not have any stacking aspects in it. I have to review my putty logs to get the exact items it had issue with, as it has been little while since I ran it. I jus got back around to revisiting this.
