Tcl
I have been learning a little bit about TCL, or rather I want to learn about it, and I am wondering what exactly is TCL capable of? I'm looking for a means to streamline configurations on switches that require a pretty repetitive motion. EG look up mac address, find the interface it is on, set it to an access vlan. I had…
