![]() I’ve never tried SecureCRT or ZOC but I’ve always heard good things about both. The more I learn and the more comfortable I become, I’m finding more ways to make my job and life easier. I just needed something that had all of our devices listed so I could log in quickly. I blame myself for not having intuitive session names, but I created them when I was brand spanking new to the job. That’s a great idea Daniel, about Putty having the option to list hostnames from the command line. Hopefully this post has showed you new ways of using Putty and has speeded up your labstudies. If you connect to Dynamips you don’t need to implement the timeout command. Sessions is that we connect via ssh and then ports 2000 and upward. Solve this by using a ping command or so. The timeout may not be availabe in systems older than Vista but you may Time out quite fast and we need time to type username and password. I have implemented a 2 second wait between each session because the sessions ![]() ![]() ![]() Start “SW4” “C:Program FilesPuTTYputty.exe” -load rr-sw4 Start “SW3” “C:Program FilesPuTTYputty.exe” -load rr-sw3 Start “SW2” “C:Program FilesPuTTYputty.exe” -load rr-sw2 Start “SW1” “C:Program FilesPuTTYputty.exe” -load rr-sw1 Start “R6” “C:Program FilesPuTTYputty.exe” -load rr-r6 Start “R5” “C:Program FilesPuTTYputty.exe” -load rr-r5 Start “R4” “C:Program FilesPuTTYputty.exe” -load rr-r4 Start “R3” “C:Program FilesPuTTYputty.exe” -load rr-r3 Start “R2” “C:Program FilesPuTTYputty.exe” -load rr-r2 Start “R1” “C:Program FilesPuTTYputty.exe” -load rr-r1 To load the sessions from the commandline we use putty -load. This is done click save and the session will be saved with the new name. To save more sessions leave the settings as they are, enterĪ new name under “Saved sessions”, change the window title under behaviour, when When you have edited your settings you need to save them to a session.Ĭhoose “Session” and then “Saved Sessions” and enter a name for the sessionĪnd then click “Save”. This will help us to know which device we are logged in to. Set this to the device name like R1, R2, SW1 etc. Under “Behaviour” we can set “Window title:”. This is enough to get us started but first lets make some more changes. I change it to bring up a menu on right click. I also like to change the selection behaviour. I use a different font than standard, you can change this in “Appearance”. You want to be able to run debugsĪnd then scroll back and go through the output. Some things that you might like to change, in the “Windows” section change If you are using rack rentals like graded labs you telnet to a terminal server andĬan create sessions by using different usernames. You can see that I connect We need to create sessions in the GUI that we can load from the command prompt. The advantage now is that we can use Putty from theĬommand line, you can used putty -telnet or putty -ssh to open sessions from theĬommand line but we are interested in putty -load. If you type Putty from theĬommand prompt Putty will load. Windows will now know where Putty is located. Scroll to the right and after yourįinal entry put “ C:Program filesPuTTY” or the directory where you installed it. Select this and then choose edit.Īfter every entry there needs to be a semicolon. Scroll down the “System variables” until you see “Path”. Then we will have a new screen where we whant to choose “Advanced system settings”.Īfter that choose “Environment Variables…”. Start by clicking the Start button and then right clicking on “Computer” and then Or where you installed it everytime you want to use it but there is a better way. Either you can type C:Program filesPuttyPutty.exe Open a command prompt and type putty, what happens? Nothing, because Windowsĭoesn’t know where Putty is located. Install it to a directory of your preference. Start by installing Putty, I usually just use theĮxecutable but you want to install it to be able to use it from the command line. This can be a bit tedious to do everytime you I use rack rentals and Dynamips for my studies, in either case I need to connect to a least 10ĭevices, the 6 routers and the 4 switches. ![]() Therefore we should use Putty to practice. Yes, I an many others use SecureCRT and love the tabsīut you don’t want to go to the lab and do anything for the first time, except get your number! If you as I are studying for the CCIE R&S you should be using Putty? Why? Because for the ![]()
