Tutorial
2 - Configure Devices - First Time Users
In this tutorial
you will get a Step by Step instruction how to send a config file to some hosts
where all have the same Username/Password.
Download the used files
here.
Step 1 - Create the IP address file and the Config file
In the test scenario I have created ip.txt with the IP addresses and config.txt
with the config for the hosts.
ip.txt:
172.31.150.251;
172.31.150.252;
config.txt:
conf t
enable secret c
exit
show run
Please note that the IP address file must
contain a ";" in each line. Everything after the ";" will be ignored.
There are no special format needs for the config file.
Step 2 - Using the GUI
Please take a look at the screenshot to see the needed input for the test.
Fill in the Files and the Username/Password Settings. I used Telnet and SingleHop
in the Modus Options. If Standard ports are used, the Telnet/SSH port field can
be empty. Please set Terminal Server Connection to None.
Step 3 - Check the
settings
Check the settings in the DeviceGroup Tab. Select the
hosts which should be configured.
If you want to change something, select the cell and edit it. Changes will be used
next time you press START.
When you go back to Settings Tab or press Start, then the data will be saved to
tempDevGroup.txt. This file can be edited and reused.
It can be loaded in Settings Tab:
Step 4 - Start
Press the Start Button and watch the Log in the Output Tab.
Step 5 - Results
The output for the show command can be found in the output directory. Always take
a look to the Output window.
