Hi, Suppose I have an appliance, it's not cisco but the process of updating configuration is almost the same.
1. First you log-in either via ssh or telnet.. 2. Then you go into a certain mode by typing a particular command. 3. Only after you have enter that mode, you can issue the actual editing command, (e.g; set ip 192.168.1.1) 4. Finally, issue another command to apply the configuration change. I need to execute these steps on a regular basis via cron. Step 1 is not a problem I guess because I have discovered that the appliance supports ssh public/private key authentication. Step 2 is also not a problem since I can execute it together with the command I use in step 1, ssh appliance.our.domain "conf t" Now, what? I don't know what to do next. Any idea? Thanks.
