<tt>Ahh, I'm not feeling so bad now...<br>
<br>
I've got a nice perl script that telnets to my foundry equipment and I
am supposed to convert it to SSH. I noticed I was having problems.
It's because of their lack of support for commands? Any suggestions on
how I might script nightly backups of the switch configs via a perl
script, but not using telnet?<br>

<pre wrap="">On Cisco's you could rcp the config changes and it worked great.
We've been pushing Foundry to implement some variation of this
functionality for scp, as well as the RFC specified behavior of ssh for
remote command execution that Foundry left out (what would be equivalent
to the Cisco rsh ability).
Both of these are vital to managing large numbers of routers via scripts
from unix boxes.
If you care about either of these, please please please bug your Foundry
rep.
We just need the equivalent of rcp and rsh under IOS, great if its done
with ssh.
tcl and expect only go so far, and are a hell of a hack (sure we've
wrappered it, still...).

<pre wrap="">We experienced an issue when long config files were pasted directly or

We did the following:
The same config was cut and pasted to the Foundry NetIron MLX via a
console server and then later directly to the console port. The config
in question was a long MPLS IP/BGP config.
The switch can't keep up with the commands and somehow the text gets
garbled. What was worse was that some of the garbled text got
interpretted as commands by the switch.
We tried a variety of flow control settings: none, hardware and
software. Hardware doesn't seem to work at all. None and software work
but both produce the same broken results.
There seems to be no solution to this. It is believed that this issue is
due to a limited buffer on the console port. Don't risk it, TFTP it!
