Chapter

Managing Scripts on a ServerIron ADX

Overview

A script can be written with any text editor or using the ServerIron ADX GUI. The ServerIron ADX

GUI.process is described in the ServerIron ADX GUI Configuration Guide.

Once a script has been written, it must be uploaded to a ServerIron ADX to be compiled and bound

to a port. In addition, several operations can be performed on the script and a profile can be

defined that sets the environmental variables under which the script will run. This chapter

describes each of these operations.

• “Importing and exporting scripts” – This section describes the processes for importing a script

onto a ServerIron ADX or exporting a script from a ServerIron ADX using TFTP.

• “Managing scripts” This section describes how to delete or rename a script that you have

imported onto a ServerIron ADX. It also describes the process of displaying the contents of a

script that resides on a ServerIron ADX.

• “Compiling and binding scripts” – Once a script has been imported to a ServerIron ADX, it must

be compiled and bound to a virtual server port. This section describes how to perform these

actions as well as how to obtain a performance estimate of a script and update the contents of

an existing script.

• “Creating and configuring script profiles” – A series of default values for environmental

variables are used in compilation of a script on a ServerIron ADX. If these values are

acceptable for your use, you do not need to create and define a script profile. This section

describes the default values and how to create and define a script profile that alters these

values for your application.

• “Displaying script information” – Several show commands are provided to display information
