This is the sample script that I have...
Requirements:
A server as the script server.
Setup:
The script server and the router/CUE should be on the same subnet.
The backup server, which stores the backed up CUE configuration and data, can be a different machine than the script server.
The script server must have the correct environment set up to run the TCL script.
The path to store the backups must have been configured. Make sure manual back up is operating before running the automatic script.
Example of TCL Script
The example below shows that the TCL script is activated at 23:00. At this time the script sessions into CUE through the console port and runs the CLI commands to initiate the backup. A prompt from the CUE signals that the back up is done. The script then exits from CUE and the whole back up process is complete.
#!/export/home4/ats4.0/bin/expect
while 1 {
sleep 40
set currTime [clock seconds]
set hour [clock format $currTime -format %H]
puts "Current hour is: $hour"
if {$hour != 23} {
continue
}
spawn telnet
expect "telnet>"
send "open 192.168.1.1 2001\r"
expect .*
send "\r"
expect ">"
send "en\r"
expect "Password:"
send "cisco\r"
expect "#"
send "ser ser 1/0 sess\r"
expect .*
sleep 2
send "\r"
expect ">"
send "offline\r"
expect "offline"
send "y\r"
expect "offline)"
send "\r"
expect .*
send "backup category all\r"
sleep 240
expect "offline"
send "continue\r"
expect ">"
send "exit\r"
expect "#"
send "exit\r"
expect "RETURN"
send "\035"
expect ">"
send "close\r"
expect ">"
send "quit\r"
expect .*
sleep 5
}
Question - does the script server really need to be on the same subnet? And what type of server is this - a Unix or Linux box or can it be a Wintel server? Thanks.
