Script to backup Cisco switches via telnet / tftp
A couple of days ago, I have released a small perl script to back up Cisco IOS based switches via telnet. I know there are a couple of similar scripts available on the internet, but most of them either use the “expect” functionality (which does not work all the time), or use SendKeys (which only [...]
Free tool : Find out where your AD Users are logged on into
