Hi,
First, my apologies if the question makes no sense at all as I am just =
evaluating it's possibility. I am also fairly new to CISCO stuff (only =
got my CCNA a month ago) so your advise on this will be very helpful =
although it is off-topic.
I am thinking of writing some small programs within the IOS platform =
such that it can communicate with an external host, using socket =
programming if you like. I am interested in obtaining the following:
1. basic configuration. I know it's contained in the startup-config =
and with snmp turned on, this information can be retrieved. However, =
what if snmp is not turned on? Is it possible, without going to all the =
routers to enable snmp, to still obtain this information from a host =
using tcp? =20
2. route table. Particularly I am interested in studying the dynamic =
changes of the route table over some period of time. Hence if the =
router can periodically send information to some internal host within =
the network, a collection of route tables can be obtained.
If in the end I have to do my own programming, it will lead on to =
several other questions:=20
1. is it feasible in the first place, given that CISCO IOS is =
proprietory stuff? =20
2. where can I get programming info? any recommendations?
Really appreciate if you can help me on this.
Cheers,
Chee Leong
