Siemens RuggedCom ROS

[Ch1ll3r]

Hi All,

I'm tasked to do configuration changes on about 1000 Siemens RuggedCom switches with ROS Version between 5.2 and 5.10.
The switches don't have classic CLI, when you ssh into them, they present a terminal menu (TUI). In that TUI, you can enter CRTL+S to jump into a real shell that accepts classic commands to configure the switch. Has anybody excperience with Siemens Ruggedcom and Netmiko? Or has anybody experience on how to handle a TUI?

Here's a screenshot of the TUI

after ssh into the switch, you first have to press "enter"

Next you have to press "CTRL+S"

finally we arrived in the shell:

@Ch1ll3r I would probably use the Netmiko generic device type and then experiment with using write_channel() and read_channel() to send the and to navigate the menu (until you get to the > prompt).
