Cisco routers- Notes/comments
Hello,
I was just thinking is there someway to place notes or comments in the config. Something like an FYI, like in scripting were you add the "#" for comments.

depends on where you want them. I know you can put descriptions on interfaces and stuff. -

You can add remarks to ACLs and such, but I don't think there is a way to just stick commented out line in the config at a random spot, though it would be nice.An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made. -

As others have mentioned, you can put in a description for an interface or a remark for an ACL. You can't insert inline comments however.
If you keep the configuration saved somewhere else then you can put ! comments in but they won't appear in the actual configuration on the router. IOS ignores them totally. -

The reason why it doesn't do inline comments the way you want is a side effect of how IOS stores its configuration.

Edit the config on your computer, use ! as trailing characters wherever you wan to add comments, install a t.f.t.p. server on your computer then do a copy t.f.t.p.://blablablbla running-config . I read it somewhere that is a way, have not done it myself.
Hmm Thats weird, I cant type t.f.t.p. in a post, ha!I hate pandas -

You could just make a loopback interface, and give it a ip address you'd never use in your life. (just don't make it the highest ip, ospf will use it to name the router)Then write it in the description what you want.Started a forum for networking students, its new and needs people!

Those comments don't get copied into the config.Edit the config on your computer, use ! as trailing characters wherever you wan to add comments, install a t.f.t.p. server on your computer then do a copy t.f.t.p.://blablablbla running-config .
