I am just starting with the Orion Network Configuration Manager and I am trying to understand the flow with the device type templates. I have a lot of Avaya (Nortel) Secure Routers deployed in our network. I am trying to use Network Configuration Manager to backup the running configuration. My problem is that one a telnet session is established with the router there is no command to turn off the paging prompt. The only way to turn off the paging prompt is to go into config mode set the term length to 0 (zero) and exit config mode. Once those steps are complete you can use the 'show running config' command and the running config will scroll through without paging. The problem with this is that this is a config change and if its left that way the next tech who logs in and does a show running config will not get prompted for each screen. So before the NCM session can be ended I need to go back into config mode set the term length to 24 exit config mode and save. This way the next tech that log into this router will not be causght by suprose.
I was trying to use a device template to accomplis these steps but I am not clear on how the different commands are followed in the device template. Is it a top down read each command one at a time until it works?? Each time I have tried to create commands the script always fails. Is a device template not the correct tool to do this with? any advice or if I could be pointed to other reading material to get a better understanding of how to read a device template would be greatly appreciated.
