annotate

Syntax

Description

Add comments to a configuration. You can add comments only at the current hierarchy level.

Any comments you add appear only when you view the configuration by entering the show command in configuration mode or the show configuration command in operational mode.

Note:

The software supports annotation up to the last level in the configuration hierarchy, including oneliners. However, annotation of parts (child statements or identifiers within a oneliner) of the oneliner is not supported. For example, in the following sample configuration hierarchy, annotation is supported up to the oneliner level 1 , but not supported for the metric child statement and its attribute 10:

Options
