Yeah, it is a great tip, that I've been looking for.
However, I still see one issue. In the lab, we most likely do not have
access to a PC that is connected to the lab via one of the four lab
switches. The PC we have is connected to the terminal server, then via
console ports to routers/switches. So copy txt file from a workstation to
router flash, or try to load TCL script from a TFTP, FTP servers are not
feasible in the lab.
My question is:
How to edit and save a text file to flash?
(we can view the text file on flash using "more" IOS command)
Cheers,
Huan

I copy the tcl file from my host to the router.
host> cat bulkping.tcl
proc bulkping {
foreach address {

172.12.23.3
172.12.23.4
172.12.23.6
172.12.23.7
} { ping $address re 10 si 1500
}}
host>

Hey all -
Is there a way to save a TCL script, such as a ping script, on a
router in a
flash file and then call it in TCLSH mode to run? Or is cut-n-paste
from
Windows Notepad really the only way to do this. I guess I am looking
for
more efficiency when doing connectivity testing.
John
