yangcli-pro can store session configurations so they can be reused as a "named session".
If the "default" session is used, then yangcli-pro can only connect to 1 server at a time.
But if named sessions are used, then yangcli-pro can connect to multiple sessions at once.
Create a named session
The easiest way to create a named session is to create a session manually with the connect command
Example:
> connect server=192.168.0.10 user=lab password=my-secret-pass
Once connected, use the session-cfg save command to save the session parameters.
If the session name is already used, then that session will be updated and the old contents replaced with the new session parameters.
[email protected]> session-cfg save=session-A Saving current session as 'session-A' [email protected]>
The next time you want to connect using these session parameters use the session parameter in the connect command:
> connect session=session-A
Connecting to a Second Session
While connected to a named session you can start another named session or start a new default session:
> connect session=session-A session-A> connect server=localhost user=lab2 password=new-password lab2@localhost>
Switching Between Sessions
To switch between active sessions, use the session command:
lab2@localhost> session set-current=session-A Session 'session-A' is now active session-A> session set-current=default Session 'default' is now active lab2@localhost>
List All Named Sessions
To show a summary of the named sessions use the sessions-cfg command:
session-A> sessions-cfg show Saved sessions source: '~/.yumapro/.yangcli_pro_sessions.conf' Session 'session-A': user: andy server: localhost connected: true
The 'show connected' command can be used for a brief summary:
session-A> show connected 2 sessions connected: Session 'session-A': server: localhost Session 'default': server: 192.168.0.95
