SecureCRT supports VBScripting. Here's an example script that clears and reloads r1 through r6 and then sw1 and sw2. Based on the Send and WaitForString logic you should be able to extrapolate how to script the tftp booting:

<start script>
#$language = "VBScript"
#$interface = "1.0"

Sub main
' turn on synchronous mode so we don't miss any data
crt.Screen.Synchronous = True

crt.Screen.WaitForString ">"

crt.Screen.Send "r1" & VbCr

  crt.Screen.WaitForString "pen"

  crt.Screen.Send ";" & VbCr

  crt.Screen.Send ";" & VbCr

  crt.Screen.Send "en" & VbCr

crt.Screen.WaitForString "#"

crt.Screen.Send "wr" & VbCr

crt.Screen.WaitForString "#"

crt.Screen.Send "wr e" & VbCr

Thanks Brian.

You mentioned sometime ago that this could also be automated by using scripts within SecureCRT or any other Terminal Server software. Can you please offer us some tips on how to achieve this, or even better, share a sample of the script here, or on your website.

Thanks for your assistance
Josef

With the new lab requirements now in full swing Brian Dennis and
I have been receiving numerous questions about platform and version
support for the new lab. Most of them specifically about how to get
OSPFv3 support on the non-XM 2600s. Therefore we have written a white
paper on how to load the XM images onto the non-XM 2600s via TFTP.
Check here for step by step instructions:
