Simple example of a VBScript that will log you in to a Cisco

router
# $language = VBScript
# $interface = 1.0
This states that the script is synchronous with the screen
crt.Screen.Synchronous = True
This sends a Carriage Return to the screen
crt.Screen.Send vbCr
We now tell the script to wait until it sees ssword:
crt.Screen.WaitForString ssword:
Now that it sees that, send the characters VtYpAsS (vty
password) and a carriage return
crt.Screen.Send VtYpAsS & vbCr
We now have to wait for the > prompt
crt.Screen.WaitForString >
Now send out enable and a Carriage Return
crt.Screen.Send enable & vbCr
We now tell the script to wait until it sees ssword:
crt.Screen.WaitForString ssword:
Now that it sees that, send the characters LeVeL15 (enable
password) and a carriage return
crt.Screen.Send LeVeL15 & vbCr
Another simple script to show the ip interface status
# $language = VBScript
# $interface = 1.0
crt.Screen.Synchronous = True
crt.Screen.Send vbCr

Helpful Hints
Once your logged in via your scripts, set the line terminal
length to 0 (IOS only)
objSc.WaitForString#,2
objSc.Send terminal length 0 & vbCr
If you dont, you will have to WaitForString - and then send a
carriage return. With terminal length 0, the command will scroll
through the entire list, never requiring a carriage return or
space. At the very end, set your terminal length back to 80.
objSc.WaitForString#,2
objSc.Send terminal length 80 & vbCr
For CatOS
objSc.WaitForString )
objSc.Send set length 0 & vbCr
The set length 0 is for the current session only, so you will not
have to set it back before the script ends.
Keyboard Mapping
Ive found that its easiest to modify the ini le for the session.
For example I want to use a specic keyboard mapping with a

specic session. Why would I want this? I generally have three

dierent keyboard mappings; one for CatOS, one for IOS, and
for PixOS. I need to map the correct keyboard mapping to the
correct device (so I get PixOS keyboard maps when I connect to
a PIX). Heres an example (from the ini le):
S:Keymap Name=Custom
S:Keymap Filename=C:crt scriptsPIX.key
Why use keyboard maps? Lets say your network has 100s of
routes and you more often than not only want to see a small
range. In SecureCRT you can map a key (such as F6) to run a
script. Create the script to type show ip route | inc . Then map
a key to the script, save the keyboard map (*.key) and load the
keyboard map in the session (above). Now when your in your
router, hit the key you just mapped and show ip route | inc
appears! Type in your network and hit enter. This is example is
very basic, but you get the idea. I use mappings for logging,
copy & paste, show ip route and some other commonly used
commands.
Run from USB drive
A great tip from VanDyke is to run SecureCRT from a USB
Drive. With this conguration you can run SecureCRT and have
all your sessions in one easy place. I can go to any PC in the
company and connect to my equipment. I can also go to my
client sites and still use SecureCRT and use the above scripts
