1) Question on sending multiple IOS commands:

config commands can be a set of CLIs delimitered by ;. (i.e. ip route x.x.x.x x.x.x.x; ip route y.y.y.y y.y.y;ip access-list 1;.....)
exec command can only be one CLI (i.e. show xxx | include yyy )

My questions with that:
  • Is there a limitation on how many commands can be in a semicolon seperated String?
  • What about big changes like changeing certificates, e.g. VPN ?
  • What do you think of alternatives like copying whole startup-conf-files to IOS?
  • What about using netconf over beep directly, are there any java-libs we can use for that?
