Linux scripting and Cisco

flipboi · 02-19-2009, 02:06 AM

I need a script that will login to a Cisco device (with ACS), will execute several show commands (in privileged exec mode), and the output of the show commands will be saved in the somewhere in the linux box.

Can this be possible?

Thanks in advance!

yes, totally. I'd probably suggest using expect to wrap it. check out some expect documentation and examples and see how you get on.

I'm a newbie with regards to "expect".

I need to execute some show commands below on 250+ Cisco devices and save them all in my linux box.

show running-config
show version
show cdp neighbors detail
show interface

... and more commands.

Any expect experts out there who can help?

Thanks!
