CLI Scripting

The CLI Scripting application is used to connect to and configure network devices via the CLI; and to configure multiple devices by creating CLI Script Files and applying the files to devices on the network.

The following screens are used for CLI Scripting:

• Scripts - Used to create CLI Scripting Files. You can then use these text-based files to configure one or more devices by applying the file via a Telnet or SSH session. You can also import existing text-based script files. Scripts can be created and stored on the local client, or can saved to the OmniVista Server so they can be available to other clients ("shared").
• Logs - Displays log files of all CLI Scripts that have been applied to network devices. You can click on a log file to view CLI Scripting results on a command-by-command basis to see if the contents of the file were successfully applied to a device(s).
• Terminal - Used to establish CLI Scripting sessions by logging in to one or more devices and configuring the devices via supported CLI commands. Note that OmniVista CLI Scripting also supports SSHv2 enhanced encryption.
