Hi Anpu,
I like to open multiple windows, one for each device, and also one window
for TS. For configuration, I will goto each individual window. The TS window
is only used when I need send commands to all devices, examples like "wr, sh
run | ex un, end, tclsh, tclquit....". You can also use that when you need
to apply configuration like "clock set, alias, logging con..."
But, it is really up to each person which way do you feel will save time. I
am not a big fan of alias, so I dont think it will save me time. But I i
know some people like to put alias for lot commands, like "conf t, router
ospf , router eigrp.....". and they feel that will save time. So once again,
is up to you which way do you feel more conferable.
HTH,
Lei
