Multiple routers and one CLI command

G2Dolphin · February 4, 2016, 3:24pm

Is it possible to execute the same command on multiple routers, using The Dude, some SSH scripts or other tools?

If it’s not possible on Dude, it’s a nice suggestion, huh?

Run a script or API which connects to each router and executes the command.

Thanks for answer. Yeah, thought about that, but I probably won’t be able to create it. Do you have one?

Not a very elegant solution, but for ocasional use try ‘clusterssh’. For a more robust management API or scripting will be your best bet.

You can also set up SSH keys and issue commands via SSH:

ssh -i private.key yourusername@192.168.88.1 '/system resource print'

Hmm, seems like a solution. I’ll try “clusterssh” and the keys setup you’ve written. Thank you, guys!

…btw, it will be really great to have that feature in Dude too, since it already can show up a Terminal window.

EDIT: PuttyCS seems useful too.
