Cisco CCNA (640-553) Security Training
Using the “browser-attribute import” command
By Charles Ross CCNA - CCNP #CSCO10444244
In today’s article, I’m going to quickly inform you about the Cisco IOS webvpn context configuration mode command named “browser-attribute import”.
CCNAs (like you) use the “browser-attribute import” command to import user-defined browser attributes into a webvpn context.
Below is the command’s syntax:
browser-attribute import device:file
As you can see, the command also uses two arguments device: and file.
device: – This argument (with colon) is used to indicate the storage device on the system.
file – And, this argument is used to indicate the name of file to be imported. By the way, the file name should include the directory location.
Note: If you decide to use the command; it will override any other browser attributes that have already been configured.
Below is an example of the command being used:
Router>enable
Router#configure terminal
Router(config)#webvpn context sslvpn
Router(config-webvpn-context)#browser-attribute import flash:example-attr.xml
Router(config-webvpn-context)#end
Router#copy run start
In the example above, the file named “example-attr.xml” is to be imported from the router’s flash. And, notice that the “browser-attribute import” command is being performed while the router is in webvpn context configuration mode.
And, like with mostly all Cisco IOS commands; you can use the word “no” in front of the command to remove (disable) the configured command; like you see below:
Router(config-webvpn-context)#no browser-attribute import flash:example-attr.xml
By the way, if you decide to use the command, make sure your router(s) is running Cisco IOS 12.4(22)T or higher.
I hope this article was very informative and helped you quickly understand the usage of the browser-attribute import command.
