Using a specific script on ZyWALL USG via SSH

How can I send CLI commands to ZyWALL USG using a bat file in Windows?

Consider this problem by example. Suppose you send a crypto algorithm-hide to disable crypto command to the hardware gateway and reboot the device. Moreover, a set of commands and the IP address of the ZyWALL USG must be in separate files.

To solve this problem, we need:

1. The plink utility (available for download from here).
2. The IP.txt file contains the IP address of the ZyWALL USG (192.168.1.1 by default).
3. A com.cli file containing the contents of the command set for the ZyWALL USG.
   In our example, it has the following form:

   configure terminal
   crypto algorithm-hide disable
   write
   reboot
   exit

4. The run.bat file is as follows:
   

   @echo off 
   set login=admin
   set pw=1234
   set CLI_FILE=com.cli
   set REMOTE_LIST=IP.txt
   
   for /F "tokens=*" %%A in (%REMOTE_LIST%) do plink -ssh -pw %pw% -no-antispoof %login%@%%A < %CLI_FILE%
   

   set login=admin - the variable where username is stored ( admin is the default)
   set password=1234 - variable where the password from ZyWALL is stored ( 1234 by default)
   All files must be in the same folder. As a result of launching run.bat, the SSH connection will be established to the IP address from the IP.txt file, and the commands from the com.cli file will be executed.
