Hi Everyone, I posted a differnt but related thread about this so though I would hit from a differnt direction. I have a secure SSH box which has access to my differnt Cisco routers. I want to write a program that a) ssh's from my machine to the jump box b) run through a list of routers and telnet into each one and grab the running config c) close the session Trying to fiugre out a good way to approach this. I can get the NET::SSH session open to the box, but can't figure out how to go form there to step 2. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
