TCL Scripting, need help !

illusion_rox · ‎12-11-2008

Hi all, i have a requirement in which i have to shut and no shut a particular tunnel at around 20+ spokes from the hub. I want to write the script in which it says that go to int tunnel 1 (its always tunnel 1 ) shut and no shut. At each spoke i have authentication through AAA but i am expecting then when i will be doing this activity they will be accessible via local username/pass only which is constant throughout. so this is the steps i need

go to particular WAN IP

enter username

enter password

enable

enter password

conf t

int tun 1

sh

no sh

end

exit

Can some 1 help me write this script ?

Hello Ovais,

for this kind of things you could use the expect library under tcl.

http://expect.nist.gov/

this is thought to be able to manage interactive logins

only warning: when you shut tunnel1 the branch is still reachable ?

www.activestate.com activetcl 8.4.x or later should have an expect library

you need to build a list of devices ip addresses that will be indexed in a for cycle and in the for body there the instructions for performing the required actions

I used it and it works well. I had used a 5.21 version of porting to windows

if you have a linux box it should be even easier

commands are

expect "sername"

send $user

expect "assoword"

send $pass

during configuration the expect should match only the hostname

Hope to help

Giuseppe
