Hi,
Whey make things difficult ? Use the GUI - Cluster Management Suite - Standard on the 2950 switches.
Enable on de switch http:
ip http server
login by browser (no username only password =enable secret)
You will see the switch graphically !!!
Right clik on "port" and select --> port settings --> by status you can enable/disable a port
Click and Play!
No mistakes can happen !!!

Thanks for the prompt reply guys

I want to put thos command in a batch file so that just one click can do that. The thing I face is that whenevere I ran that batch file, It does not accept the entries written in the batch file and requires a user login and password. I do not want user to touch Cisco IOS!
This is the Batch File:
' Telnet 192.167.0.151
password (telnet password)
enable
config t
interface fastethernet0/5
shutdown
end
end
exit
logout'
the batch file to enable has no shutdown instead of a shutdown line.
Wiscom:
Yours is a good idea too. It was my first approach when tackling this issue. But when I use http I get the login that requires username and password (priviledge 15). But when I disable the port it does not want to save changes.
When you said 'ip http server' is that a command I should run to enable the feature you are refering to?
Thanks again for the prompt replies guys.

Hi,
I advise you to use privilege levels, cisco has (0 - 15) 15 is a superuser, you able to give policies to a privilege level!
Please refer this page:

If you want to enable it via radius see this:

The batch solution can either work with AutoIt, or (and that is how I do it) by using netcat (http://joncraton.org/file
(echo user
echo password
echo do-whatever
) | nc -t cisco.domain.local 23 -i 1

Its very simple. You can create simple text file with the commands like this
To disable the port-
interface GigabitEthernet0/1
shut
To enable the port-
interface GigabitEthernet0/1
no shut
He just need to change the port number and copy paste these two lines after login on the switch. you can do multiple ports at time by adding same lines in single file or use interface range command.
