Prepare a Text File
Introduction
When you want to use the modDhctCfg utility to set authorization data for several
DHCTs, you can usually save time by preparing a text file that contains a list of
pertinent MAC addresses. This section contains guidelines and instructions for
preparing the text file.
Guidelines for Preparing the Text File
Use the following guidelines when preparing the input text file:
•
•
Prepare the file using a standard text editor, such as vi.
•
Prepare the file with one MAC address per line.

−
0002DE4A1192
0002DE4A1193

•
If you use the “:” character in the MAC address, the “:” character must either be all
present or all absent in the file. The system cannot process a file where some MAC
addresses contain the “:” character and some do not.
•
Alphabetic characters in the MAC address can be all uppercase, all lowercase, or
mixed.
•
Each MAC address or serial number must be left-justified on each line of text.
•
Save the file using a name that is relevant to the contents of the file. Append the
current date to the end of the file name.
Example: modDhctCfg-in_11.13.03 for a file that was created on November 13,
Example: modDhctCfg-in_11.13.03 for a file that was created on November 13,
2003.

Cisco recommends that you save the file to the /tmp directory on the DNCS.
