DennisD,

This will be a great help. Thanks! What I was wondering if Graded Labs or our expert instructors would also provide some input in it. They use a really good system for rack rentals so hopefully they can share some information

Sweet, would love to know what I was doing wrong. :) 

I have posted my first draft of CCIE R&S Home Lab Management  Terminal Server using Solarwinds CatTools

PDF in ZIP

Nice, will look at this in a few minutes. 

Thanks! will try this now!

I am a totally idiot. Mine pretty much mirrors yours. Except I had it point to the terminal server itself instead of direct connection. Blugh...f_ing stupid of me. I knew I was missing something simple. 

Dennis how did your script work out? I do not see it in your files now.

Not really a scipt, but a set of instructions for pushing Workbook configurations to devices from cattools with as little work as possible.  Open Cattools and Point&Click.    

I took it down to make some edits a while ago and never did.  I can only find an older copy.  I will update and post it in a day or so.  I use it all the time.

sweet thanks Dennis! Just got my home lab finally up and running, but did not get my AUI transeiver yet for my 2511 term server so no ethernet connection just console.  Do you use putty cm? Put a post up early about having issues getting the individual connections to work from putty cm, but was able to get putty to work going to the term server.

I do all the work configuration through telneting to the terminal server to the specific lines for each device.

I am partial to SecurCRT, so I bought a license for home.  I use putty elsewhere.

Working on my edits now.

I uploaded a modified document describing how to set it up.  I rushed through it, so it may not be totally great, but should give you the idea.

Thanks man! I am looking it over right now.  Currently I only have a console session through my 2511, so once I get my AUI I am going to try this out.  I downloaded the CAT tools, and have 14 devices so I should be good hopefully :)
