Hi all,
I'm trying to get a script together to automate adding a couple of commands across a lot of cisco switches. Thought I'd try to get the script working correctly on one switch first. I've been reading a few online tutorials and have managed to kludge up the following (which fails where commented). Anyone able to advise where I may be going wrong?
I'm sitting on a windows box here at work, otherwise I'd see what I could get expect to do.
Thanks
Gideon

import getpass
import sys
import telnetlib
HOST = 'switch_name' # this is the hostname for device, to be changed to read from file when figure that out
user = raw_input('Username: ')
password = getpass.getpass()
tn = telnetlib.Telnet(HOST) #make less typing for me
tn.read_until('Username: ') #expected prompt after telnetting to the router
tn.write(user + '\r\n') #hopefully write username and pass character return
raw_input('ENTER to continue') # just to see if it makes this far
# this is where the program appears to hang
tn.read_until('Password: ') #expected prompt after putting in the username
tn.write(password + '\r\n')
tn.read_until(HOST + ">") #expected prompt is "hostname>"
tn.write('enable \n') # go to exec mode
tn.read_until('Password: ') #prompt to go to exec mode
tn.write(password + '\n')
tn.read_until(HOST + '#') #this should be the prompt after enable "hostname#"
tn.write('sh int status' '\r\n') #run this command, read this from file when i figure out how
tn.read_until(HOST + '#') #prompt once above command has finished running, useful when reading multiple commands
tn.write('exit' '\R\N') #disconnect from the session
print tn.read_all() #prints out something, maybe needs to be prior to "exit" command
tn.close()
