[c-nsp] PERL: net::telnet::cisco still the way to go?

[Tim Jackson]

Use SNMP... Net::Telnet::Cisco has buffering issues when you send it tons of
commands... As well as you have to deal with all of the BS if you
mis-configure something wrong...

Use SNMP to do a 'copy tftp://1.2.3.4/router-add-to-confg running-config' or
something simlar instead of using Net::Telnet::Cisco.. You'll end up being a
lot happier.. Cisco luckily has most stuff available via SNMP...
