Thus spake Jeff Mcadams
Yeah...I've talked with George about this extensively...and while the interface is pretty good. TCM as a whole has some significant limitations...things I can think of off the top of my head...
- You can only really manipulate one chassis at once...with some good scripting ability you could manipulate multiple chassis at once (which is what I've been doing with my perl scripts recently...iterate through all our chassis and perform action xyz)...there's just really no good way to do this with TCM, so when you get beyond...oh...10 or so chassis, it starts getting really tedious to administer things in TCM...that number varies with the patience of the one doing the administration. :)
Duh...forgot to type in the other one... :/ - Copying configs from one card to one or more others is terribly inefficient...setting *all* of the config settings, when you're dealing with a large number of settings can take a *long* time. Would be good to have the ability to only set the settings that are different...same eventual effect (the cards end up with identical configs) but considerably more effecient...this is one of the main reasons that I moved away from using TCM as my primary tool for configuring chassis (that and I happened to have access to one that did these things better...unfortunately, its not mine to give away, or I would do so). -- Jeff McAdams Email: jeffm@iglou.com Head Network Administrator Voice: (502) 966-3848 IgLou Internet Services (800) 436-4456 - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.
