The thing is that I would want to write my own basic, very simple little script for a Nortel Option 11 C. <br>I am aware of the Nortel Meridian CLI commands and I've written some very simple Expect scripts for a CISCO router and they worked but I would like to write and integrate the Nortel script into Rancid.</div><div><br></div><div>Guys, where do I need to start? I don't really want to edit existing scripts to suit my new one, preferably I'd want to start off clean, from scratch since I'll be happy if I get even the simplest of
scripts running (log into the device, get the time and date and log out) - I need to understand the structure, how do i get it ticking, connect the bits and pieces.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Would it be possible to share some light on the structure, which script should call which or where should I start?</div><div><br></div><div>Best Regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Negru Tudor Adrian<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></body></html>
