We go to Macros on the left, where we see the option to ‘Record new macro’. When clicking our new session, it executes the created ‘macro’, and takes us straight to our password prompt.īut rather than creating a custom macro for each device, we can create ‘centrally managed’ macros, that could be used by other sessions… so let’s take this opportunity to try this feature out.

Why not?Īfter downloading and unzipping, we run the program: Portable software is often a plus point for network engineers, who often have multiple devices, sharing saved sessions and customized settings across these devices – and even with other people – is a benefit and a time saver. The first thing of note, is there is a portable version of the MobaXterm software for Windows: In the networking world, we might make use of such a client to connect to multiple routers, switches, and firewalls… there are many pieces of software that can provide this (such as Putty, Kitty, Cisco Network Assistant etc).Īs network engineers, we are rather spoiled for choice… so maybe this little intro and guide to MobaXterm will help you decide if this is suitable for your use.
