you need to create this file somewhere, it's not like you are going to start writing scripts on the switch itself. Create the commands in notepad or whatever you use and then you can simply copy and paste the commands in your terminal window.

You can leverage our template based provisioning in DCNM webui by creating script leveraging variable definitions in DCNM such as interface range to execute same command on multiple interfaces... DCNM will push configs to the switch via DCNM template.   Only available on latest image of DCNM 6.2.1

Andrew,

can you share some documentation that describes how to use DCNM templates. I've upgraded my lab system to 6.2.1 , the built-in help section is not very descriptive.

Thanks
