Using Task Scripts

Configuration Management Task Script Library (SETTINGS menu > Configuration Management > Task Script Library) displays all scripts currently configured and able to be invoked from Configuration Management tasks.

Task scripts login to devices through SSH or Telnet and run command-line interface (CLI) commands on devices. These tasks can perform a number of operations, such as restoring or backing up a running or startup configuration, or changing an application password.

Configuration Management Task Script Library enables you to:

• Create and edit custom scripts you can embed in tasks.
• Run Now. Select a script and run scripts stand-alone (without a scheduled task) on a device or device group.
• Import and export Task Scripts.
• Use built-in scripts to backup device configuration.

Configuration Backup Scripts

Configuration Management comes with two pre-configured task scripts. You can also configure your own custom task scripts using the Configuration Management Custom Script Language . A script debugger is available to assist you in script creation when you access the Task Script Library from the admin console.
