NetShell and Offline Mode

  • Article

NetShell provides the ability to cache commands in offline mode, enabling blocks of changes to be configured, then applied once NetShell is taken out of offline mode.

Top-level helpers provide contexts directly below the root context. For example, ras and dhcp are top-level contexts, so their helpers are considered top-level helpers. The following shows this from the command prompt:

netsh>
netsh ras>
netsh dhcp>

Top-level helpers are required to provide support for offline caching for their context, and for any subcontexts. For example, the helper that implements the ras context must provide offline caching support for its subcontexts.

Note

Offline mode is not implemented for the ras and routing contexts. Changes to the ras and routing contexts and their subcontexts made in offline mode do not require a commit command for the changes to be saved.
