Well I think it´s something about having to remove the macro´s when you are 
done.

One thing I think very sad is that the lab is running 12.2(44) on the switches 
which does not support TCL.

Hope that they change it in the future to 2(55) as it does support TCL scripts

Emne: Re: [OSL | CCIE_RS] Use of TCL - In Lab

I've asked about this before, but this seems like a good discussion to ask 
again.

Why do people prefer TCL over using simple macros?  I find macros to be far 
more intuitive, repeatable, and easy to use.  In my experience, I've had a lot 
of trouble copy-pasting TCL scripts into my routers -- it seems to get hung up 
between tclsh and the actual script.

Instead, I use macros for all my devices.

conf t
macro name ping_all
do ping 10.0.0.1
do ping 10.0.0.2
do ping 10.0.0.3
do ping 10.0.0.4
@


Then to run:

conf t
macro global apply ping_all


These work on both routers running 12.4T and switches and are much easier to 
repeat than tcl scripts.  On top of that, I always see the suggestion to 
implement macros on switches -- why do double the work?

Your thoughts appreciated -- any benefit to using TCL with macros supported on 
all platforms?
