Omit the device-specific settings from the configuration plan and include them in command scripts instead is not what you should do if you want to use NetEdit to manage ArubaOS-CX switches and deploy a standard config to the switches, but need the config to include a few device-specific settings such as hostname and IP address. This approach would require you to create separate command scripts for each switch, which can be tedious and error-prone. A better approach would be to use an auto config plan that uses scripts to customize the configuration for each switch based on variables such as serial number, MAC address, or user-defined parameters1.
