How Commands Correspond with Lines in the Text File

The text configuration file includes lines that correspond with the commands described in this guide.
In examples, commands are preceded by a CLI prompt. The prompt in the following example is
"hostname(config)#":
hostname(config)# context a
In the text configuration file you are not prompted to enter commands, so the prompt is omitted:
context a

Command-Specific Configuration Mode Commands

Command-specific configuration mode commands appear indented under the main command when
entered at the command line. Your text file lines do not need to be indented, as long as the commands
appear directly following the main command. For example, the following unindented text is read the
same as indented text:
interface gigabitethernet0
nameif inside
interface gigabitethernet1

Automatic Text Entries

When you download a configuration to the FWSM, the FWSM inserts some lines automatically. For
example, the FWSM inserts lines for default settings or for the time the configuration was modified. You
do not need to enter these automatic entries when you create your text file.
