About the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 4500 Series
After you download the file, the configuration file automatically configures
the switch or stack according to the CLI commands in the file.
With this feature, you can generate command configuration files that can be
used by several switches or stacks with minor modifications.
The maximum size for an ASCII configuration file is 500 KB; split large
configuration files into multiple files.
Use a text editor to edit the ASCII configuration. The command format is
the same as that of the CLI.
Download the ASCII configuration file to the base unit by using CLI
commands. The ASCII configuration script completes the process.
Sample ASCII configuration file
This section shows a sample ASCII configuration file. This file is an example
only and shows a basic configuration for a stand-alone switch that includes
multilink trunking, VLANs, port speed and duplex, and SNMP configurations.
