Net::CLI::Interact::Manual::Phrasebook - List of Supported CLIs

INTRODUCTION¶

The bundled phrasebook includes support for a variety of network device CLIs. Many were contributed by users of the module. If you set up a new CLI dictionary, please consider contributing it back! The phrasebook specification is given in Net::CLI::Interact::Phrasebook. For each supported CLI, there is a name which must be passed in the "personality" option to Net::CLI::Interact's "new()" method. After that, you can call the included Macros, and the module will use the included Prompt to match the current state of the CLI. More information is available in the Tutorial and Cookbook. Below is a list of all current bundled CLI dictionaries. Each lists its name, the available Prompts, Macros and Continuations, and from which other CLI dictionaries it inherits.

 IOS       # Cisco IOS
 CatOS     # for older, pre-IOS Cisco devices
 
 PIXOS     # for PIX OS-based devices
 PIXOS7    # Slightly different commands from other PIXOS versions
 FWSM      # currently the same as 'PIXOS'
 FWSM3     # for FWSM Release 3.x devices (slightly different to FWSM 2.x)
 
 JunOS     # Juniper JUNOS support
 HP        # HP support
 Nortel    # Nortel support
 ExtremeOS # Extreme Networks support
 Foundry   # Foundry/Brocade device support

PERSONALITIES¶

Cisco¶

This personality goes by the name of "cisco" and provides a basis for many other CLI dictionaries. Prompts are "basic", "privileged", "configure", "user", and "pass". Macros are "begin_privileged", "end_privileged", "begin_configure", "end_configure", and "disconnect".

CatOS¶

This personality goes by the name of "catos" and inherits from the "cisco" dictionary. Additionally it provides the "privileged" Prompt. Additionally it also provides the "paging" Macro to set the terminal page size.

ExtremeOS¶

This personality goes by the name of "extremeos" and inherits from the "cisco" dictionary. Additional Prompts are "basic", "privileged", "configure", "user", and "pass". Additional Macros are "begin_privileged", "end_privileged", and "disconnect".

Foundry / Brocade¶

This personality goes by the name of "foundry" and inherits from the "cisco" dictionary. Before connecting to the device you probably want to set the output separator to be:

 $nci->transport->ors("\r\n");

For users of Net::Appliance::Session this should be:

 $session_obj->nci->transport->ors("\r\n");

IOS¶

This personality goes by the name of "ios" and inherits from the "cisco" dictionary. Additionally it provides the "paging" Macro to set the terminal page size.

HP¶

This personality goes by the name of "hp" and inherits from the "cisco" dictionary. Additionally it provides the "basic" and "user" Prompts.

JunOS¶

This personality goes by the name of "junos" and inherits from the "cisco" dictionary. Additionally it provides the "privileged", "configure", and "user" Prompts. Additionally it also provides the "begin_configure" and "paging" Macros.

Nortel¶

This personality goes by the name of "nortel" and inherits from the "cisco" dictionary. Additionally it provides the "user" Prompt.

PIXOS¶

This personality goes by the name of "pixos" and inherits from the "cisco" dictionary. Additionally it provides the "paging" Macro to set the terminal page size. It can be used in its own right for Cisco PIX firewalls, but is also used as a base for other dictionaries.

PIXOS 7¶

This personality goes by the name of "pixos7" and inherits from the "pixos" dictionary. Additionally it provides the "paging" Macro to set the terminal page size.

FWSM¶

This personality goes by the name of "fwsm" and inherits from the "pixos" dictionary. It provides no further functionality, as Cisco FWSM software version 1 and 2 was the same as the PIX OS.

FWSM 3¶

This personality goes by the name of "fwsm3" and inherits from the "pixos" dictionary. Additionally it provides the "paging" Macro to set the terminal page size.
