Net::Telnet::Netscreen 1.1

Net::Telnet::Netscreen is a Perl module that interacts with a Netscreen firewall. Net::Telnet::Netscreen is mostly a pure rippoff of Net::Telnet::Cisco, with adaptations to make it work on the Netscreen firewalls. It also has some additional commands, but for basic functionality, see Net::Telnet and Net::Telnet::Cisco documentation. use Net::Telnet::Netscreen; my $fw = new Net::Telnet::Netscreen(host=>192.168.1.1); $fw->login(admin,password) or die $fw->error; $fw->enter_vsys(wineasy.no); print "We are now in: ".$fw->current_vsys."n"; my %vsys=$fw->get_vsys; foreach $key (sort (keys %vsys)) { print $key,=, $vsys{$key},"n"; } print @results; Before you use Net::Telnet::Netscreen, you should probably have a good understanding of Net::Telnet, so perldoc Net::Telnet first, and then come back to Net::Telnet::Netscreen to see where the improvements are. Some things are easier to accomplish with Net::SNMP. SNMP has three advantages: its faster, handles errors better, and doesnt use any vtys on the router. SNMP does have some limitations, so for anything you cant accomplish with SNMP, theres Net::Telnet::Netscreen. New methods not found in Net::Telnet follow: enter_vsys - enter a virtual system Enter a virtual system in the firewall. parameter is system you want to enter . You may enter another vsys even if you are in a vsys. Note that we will save your changes for you if you do.
