Hi
What anandramapathy is saying is totally workable and i have myself deployed the same..
Problem with Telnet is that unlike ftp you donnt have the command set to execute during the session so what TST10 does is run commands in the telent session
and they have given the example for backup only so your problem will be addressed but take care of few things :-
--> your credentials will be saved in clear text in the script file
--> this will create number of files in cache containing your switch configuration
so you need to delete the cache as all the information will be in clear text.
** one more option is there:-
use snmp based tools which will encrypt the snmp string in their repositry. Free tools are available but hard to find, u need to put some effort on internet if you want to save money.
i have used some free tools long time back but donnt remember the names, we are using ciscoworks for quite a long time.
if you want to do only backup and management is not needed you can save some money and buy Kiwi CAT tools (freeware is avaliable but number device that can be backed up are limited)
