Macro Recording and Playback from an Interactive Telnet Session
The record function creates a macro by echoing commands that you type in an interactive Telnet

pop-up menu displayed by using the right mouse button, as shown in Figure 89.
• To start recording a macro, click the right mouse button and select Start Record from the pop-up
menu.
Everything you type after this is copied into the macro Record/Play Buffer until you select Stop
Record
from the pop-up menu.
•
To stop recording a macro, click the right mouse button and select Stop Record from the pop-up
menu.
The commands that are part of the macro are automatically entered into the macro command buffer.
• To play the macro on one or more switches, select the Device Groups component or the name of a
device group in the Component tree, and play back the macro in the main Telnet page as discussed
in the section “Running ExtremeWare Command Macros,” on page 192.
