-------8<-------------- I was able to resolve my issues with Net::Telnet not working, thank you to everyone who replied to my post. Now I have something different. Below is a script that I wrote, it telnets to a Cisco router, goes into enable mode, and is supposed to print the output of a "show ip route" command. The issue is that the script times out at line 13, which is where it is supposed to send the command. I know that the telnet is connecting, and the script is authenticating, because if it wasn't it would time out way before line 13 (at least I hope that is correct). Can anyone tell me why it is timing out? I thought that maybe it was because there was no newline at the end of line 13, but supposedly when using cmd there is an automatic newline appended to the string. I would appreciate any help. -------8<--------------
99% of time out issues occur with Net::Telnet because the prompt was not matched correctly. Do a search on AS mailing lists for Net::Telnet and you will see other peoples woes with this. What I suggest you do is turn the logging on, and see what the prompt actually is. (Its also a good idea to turn strict and warnings on):- use strict; use warnings; my $t = new Net::Telnet (Timeout => 40, Dump_Log => "C:/Temp/Err.txt"); If you cant match the prompt that it requires, send us the output and one of us will write a regexp for you.
