Re: TCL Script - reachability to BGP networks

Keller,
For me it's a lot easier to generate a tcl script than a macro, but you
have a point, if you have to create a macro for a switch why not just use
that for the routers.

The TCL scrip i'm using is really simple, just to save me time:

foreach i {
150.1.1.1
187.1.13.9
} { ping $i re 2 timeout 1 }

.. basically all i have to remember is:

foreach i {

} { ping $i }

Either way if you use a tcl or a macro, how do you generate the IP
addresses for the BGP advertised routes in a quick efficient matter?

Thanks

Tom
