Bulk CLI Interface

Note

CDO displays the Done! message in two circumstances:

  • After a command has executed successfully without errors.

  • When the command has no results to return. For example, you may issue a show command with a regular expression searching for a certain configuration entry. If there is no configuration entry that meets the criteria of the regular expression, CDO returns Done!.

My List tab displays the devices you chose from the Inventory table and allows you to include or exclude devices you want to send a command to.

The Execution tab, highlighted in the figure above, displays the devices in the command that is selected in the history pane. In this example, the show run | grep user command is selected in the history pane and the Execution tab shows that it was sent to 10.82.109.160, 10.82.109.181, and 10.82.10.9.187.

Clicking the By Response tab shows you the list of responses generated by the command. Identical responses are grouped together in one row. When you select a row in the By Response tab, CDO displays the response to that command in the response pane.

Clicking the By Device tab displays individual responses from each device. Clicking one of the devices in the list allows you to see the response to the command from a specific device.
