I would like to build a script in IOS that shuts down ports that are "notconnected"

[johngmarshall]

Is there such  a script.

I have tried:

for xx in `show int status | i notconn`

do

echo $xx

done

and got a list of the interfaces but with the interface line broken up by the spaces;

like so:

953Test#for xx in `show int status | i notconn`
do..done>do
do..done>echo $xx
do..done>done
Gi1/0/9

I would like to be able to shut the ports with the list generated.

Hi

I've done something very quick through my iPad. It works for sure but it could be done in a better way (see below).

On enable mode on the switch, type tclsh to go in scripting mode and then paste this script

puts [open "flash:intshut.tcl" w+] {
set file [open "flash:int.txt" "w+"]
close $file
set output [exec "sh int status | i notconn"]
set file [open "flash:int.txt" "w"]
foreach line [split $output "\n"] {
set interf [lindex $line {0}]
ios_config "interface $interf" "shut" "end"
}
close $file
file delete -force flash:int.txt
}
exit

To execute this script in enable mode :

tclsh flash:intshut.tcl

When you've ran it, you can delete intshut.tcl file in switch flash drive.

Thanks
