Make a simple test-telnet that just echo's out 4 lines of your choice.

#!/usr/bin/perl

$fred="\nLocation        VLAN ID Permanent\nUnit 1 Port 25     1      
No\n\n";
$mary="\nLocation        VLAN ID Permanent\nUnit 1 Port 26     1      
No\n\n";


if ($1 eq 111.222.333.252) {print "$fred"}
else {print "$mary"}
exit
