Below is the script i have written to perform MD5 verification for stacked switch 2. Problem with this script is that iam saving output of MD5 verification command to a custom varriable called ‘md5_flash2’ using register and then checking if correct md5 value is present there.
Since iam using register, so only the output of last device will get saved (and over-write previous data) in this custom variable. So iam forced to check MD5 verification for 1 device at a time. Is there any alternate way to write script to do do MD5 verification (and other tasks) simultaneously for several devices?
