Hello guys,

I need a script to verify the kind of connection (ssh or telnet), i have a buncho of devices that i need to check wich type of connection is ????

thank you

Hello and welcome to LQ.

Not sure there is a 100% way of doing this.

If the devices are set to listen to standard ports and some standard user then you could possibly make a script to rotate through a list of mac addresses or ip addresses and try both ssh and telnet.

Companies sometimes install products like solarwinds to monitor systems.

Some networking tools are made to look for open ports and that may provide means to create table to then test for remote server reply.

When you are in the wild like this it may be time to force standards. Both ssh and telnet and the forgotten but usually open tftp may be a huge security issue.

"Verify connection" is too vague.

Have a look at http://bfy.tw/C6mZ for some examples, like https://stackoverflow.com/questions/...p-port-is-open

and how it looks "to you" may not be the same as what it looks from the outside. so be prepared to
utilize a couple of tools, or short scripts to cull it all together.

I replied to you earlier...seems my post was deleted.
