Hello techman2006,

Now to connect to this switch we need to use SSH and then we can fire a set of commands to perform some operations.

Please provide us with more information, what commands you want to execute, do you require root permission etc.

Recently there was similar question to yours Net::SSH2 to capture multiple commands on remote system where I am sure that you can find the answer. I have posted an answer exactly on what you want on this question.

Update: Based on the answer given by NetWallah about parallel ssh, I remembered that I read somewhere for a module in Perl, while I was trying to complete my task. Here it is Net::OpenSSH::Parallel, search of the web there are tones of modules with ssh that can do your task. I chosen to use Net::OpenSSH because I needed to execute root commands, in this case it was perfect to me.

Update 2: When I had trouble with the same task as you, I created a question Best module to execute administrator commands on external operating systems (Linux) at which you can find 3 different working answers to your problem with multiple devices.

Seeking for Perl wisdom...on the process of learning...not there...yet!
