Scripting SSH connections to NMC's

[Barliman_apc_customer]

Has anyone had any success scripting SSH connections to AP963x or AP964x NMC's from Windows?

Basically use an input list of IP's, connect and issue commands to change settings.

If so, what scripting language are you using? Powershell, Perl, Python....other?

Regards,

Tom

Hi,

Some success with Python,  perl should work too.  The catch is that you need something that wraps around 'expect' as there's no key-based logins, so you need to automate an interactive login.

(Although I tend to use WSL on windows, so perhaps taking the scope of "windows" a little liberally)

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately we can't use WSL.

Will look at Perl and Python.
