CWCLI
Overview: cwcli config Command
The cwcli config command-line tool performs the following core functions on one or more devices and
the configuration archive:
• Moves configuration files from the configuration archive to one or more devices.
• Transfers the configuration files from devices to the archive if the configuration running on a device
is different from the latest archived version
• Imports configuration files from the file system and pushes them to one or more devices, which
updates the configuration archive
• Merges the startup configuration files with the running configuration files
• Copies the running configuration files to the startup configuration files
• Copies a configuration file to the startup configuration files
• Copies the difference between a configuration file and the running configuration to the running
configuration files. This makes the configuration in the file available on the running configuration.
• Reboots running devices to load a running configuration with its startup configuration
In addition, cwcli config performs the following core functions on the configuration archive:
• Exports configurations from the archive to the filesystem
• Compares any two configuration files in the archive based on version or date
• Deletes configurations older than a specified date from the configuration archive
Using the cwcli config Command for Batch Processing

On platforms other than Windows 2000, all files created by cwcli config are owned by casuser. They
belong to the same group as the user (casuser) who created the files, and have read-write access for both
casuser and the group.
Note Your login determines whether you can use this argument.
Getting Started With cwcli config
cwcli config is a command-line tool. This tool is like an interface between the user and the device and
the configuration archive.
Generally, the configuration archive automatically registers modifications to the device's configuration
in archived, version-based files. Over time, multiple configurations of a device accumulate in the
archive. Typically, the latest version is the configuration running on the device.
