Automate Cisco ssh connections with plink in Windows

A quick and dirty way to send a bunch of commands to any ssh device (in my case, Cisco appliances)…

• create a plain old batch file with commands echoed inside:

• execute the batch, piping its output to plink.exe (putty command link ssh client):

    c:\> commands.bat | plink -ssh -l username -pw password  11.22.33.44
