Telnet Scripting

[ITGURU]

Hi

I usually open a telnet session to an IP then manually copy and paste commands to download a copy of the configuration (i.e switches) as a backup.

Generally I do this manually for each switch IP, so looking to automate this.

 

is it possible to write a script that will ask me for the IP, take that IP and open a telnet session, login with the username and password, then run the command to download the script?

 

If so, would appreciate any scripting gurus that can help .

 

Thanks.

No, we are purely D-Link, however it does support the tftp download command.
