Using purge in CLI scripts

[milosh]

Dear all,

I created a script that first needs to delete table of reserved addressed for DHCP server before it starts creating new entries.

However, purge command requires confirmation from the user and this is something that I don’t know how to achieve inside of the script. If I’m entering commands one by one there is no issue.

I’ve tried with solution recommended here: https://community.fortinet.com/t5/Support-Forum/Inserting-a-PURGE-command-into-a-script/m-p/29958 but without success.

Here are the details:

Script:

config system dhcp server

edit 4

config reserved-address

purge\ny <--breaks here

edit 0

set mac 4c:02:20:5c:65:61

set action assign

next

edit 0

set mac 28:c2:1f:5b:f2:35

set action assign

next

end

OS version is 7.4

Thank you in advance!

Hi Milosh

The following works for me:

purge
y

Try using Teraterm instead of Putty as temporary workaround with previous synthax in two lines:
purge
y
