I'm going to ask this in both the Net::Telnet and Net::Telnet::Cisco groups. Hopefully someone will have a quick answer. I have been trying to write a "goto" script. I want to have the script telnet to the Cisco switch / router and leave me in the privileged mode. Basically - I want to avoid having to type my user id and passwords. [wt@jumphost1 ~]$ goto switch1-1 Trying 198.168.7.20... -Welcome to this switch- switch1-1# I've tried Net::Telnet and Net::Telnet::Cisco I can't get Net::Telnet to work and can't figure out how to get Net::Telnet::Cisco to leave me in the router when finished. I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance! WT
