Editing a Config
Once a device Config file is opened in the editor window, it can be
edited manually, or by using templates. When editing manually, locate
the insertion point for the new information, and enter the text directly
into the Config file.
- When using templates, global and network specific templates can be inserted.
- When templates are used, remember to click the insertion point where the template should go. Failing to do so inserts the template text wherever the cursor is within the Config file. By default, when the editor window opens, the cursor is located on line 1.
The navigation pane of the editor window contains the pre-defined locators
that auto-parse the content of the Config window. These locators are:
- Access Lists
- Interfaces
- Routing Protocols
To use the pre-defined locators,
The Interfaces
locator is used in the following example, but the instructions work for
Routing Protocols and Access Lists.
- In the navigation pane, expand theInterfacesbranch.
- Click once on any item. In the content area. The clicked item is located and then highlighted.
As the Config file is edited, the appropriate locators sections refresh
to include the new details.
