Running a PERL API Script
When you run a PERL script that invokes the API functions in Table 3-2, logon
credentials are read from the smartutils.cfg file, and a telnet session is opened on the
switch in which function calls are executed in the FTOS CLI. The script closes the
telnet session after running all the CLI commands.
The smartutils.cfg file is the configuration file used by the Programmatic
Management package. It contains the user name and passwords required to log on to
a switch via telnet and access the CLI to execute the function calls in a PERL API
script. The smartutils.cfg file is downloaded with the Programmatic Management
package and is stored at /usr/pkg/scripts/smartutils.
