How can i give specific commands to programs via terminal Linux?

I’m seeking for a way to automatize the configuration of some tasks i do, but, i am having some trouble to give the order to the programs from the terminal.

I have actually to give, every time i try to configure some Routers, the same commands always and always, but, i’m looking for a way to create a Shell Script to do it for me. The problem, is. I must access a server with terminal to do that,so i can’t give the commands as i always do, with terminal. I need a way to insert the commands inside the terminal.

This is the terminal i’m wanting to automatize

As you can see, i ways have to do the same commands, that would be pretty better, if the Shell Script, itself, did it for me.

Last but no least, there is a sample of what i tried to do:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
telnet 192.168.255.2 & < enable; show port epon 1/1 registered-link;
show port epon 1/2 registered-link; show port epon 1/3 registered-link;
show port epon 1/4 registered-link; show port epon 2/1 registered-link; 
show port epon 2/2 registered-link; show port epon 2/3 registered-link; 
show port epon 2/4 registered-link; show port epon 3/1 registered-link; 
show port epon 3/2 registered-link; show port epon 3/3 registered-link;
show port epon 3/4 registered-link; show port epon 4/1 registered-link;
show port epon 4/2 registered-link; show port epon 4/3 registered-link;
show port epon 4/4 registered-link;

“telnet 192.168.255.2” is the server and the oders, are the commands it must do.

Anyway, thank you very much.
