When using a Linux SSH client, simply redirect the script into SSH. If the SSH keys are not configured on the
client and in the firmware, a password prompt appears. To enable script automation and better security, SSH
public/private key-pairs can be generated and uploaded to the public key to the VC firmware. For example:
>ssh Admin@192.168.0.120 < myscript.txt
When using a Windows-based SSH client, pass the file to the client using the -m option. If the SSH keys are
not configured on the client and in the firmware, a password prompt appears. To allow script automation
and better security, SSH public/private key-pairs can be generated and uploaded to the public key to the VC
firmware. For example:
>plink Admin@192.168.0.120 -m myscript.txt
The CLI enables you to enter multiple CLI commands in a single command-line invocation. This capability is
useful when batching several commands together and executing them in a particular sequence, within the
context of the same SSH session. This method improves the overall performance of lengthy script processing.
Example 1: Sample commands with no command batching
add profile Profile1
add network Network1
add uplinkset UplinkSet1
Example 2: Sample commands using command batching
add profile Profile1;add network Network1;add uplinkset UplinkSet1
