Command History
Usage Guidelines CLI variables can be used as follows:
• Entered directly on the command line.
• Passed to the child script and initiated using the run-script command. The variables defined in the
parent shell are available for use in the child run-script command process.
• Passed as command-line arguments to the run-script command.
• Referenced using the syntax $(variable).
CLI variables have the following limitations:
• You cannot reference a variable through another variable using nested references.
Examples The following example creates a persistent user-defined CLI variable.
switch# config t
switch(config)# cli var name mgmtport mgmt 0
