Cisco + Linux How to store configs in one script?

I use EXPECT. You can ask question on it on "comp.*.tcl" NG. Sorry I don't remember * in the middle.

HTH

Alex.

One possible solution would be to log into the router and copy the running or startup config to a tftp server instead of trying to parse a sh run. You could place them into a project or CSV directory and even name them using a variable.

copy running-config tftp:///directory/%hostname.config copy startup-config tftp:///directory%hostname.config

Etc

Personally I wouldn't re-invent the wheel (unless I could also patent it). I use RANCID religiously.

It's a great tool. It connects via telnet or ssh to pull down the config, filesystem details, and more; stores each config in CVS; diffs the current and previous version; and finally emails the any differences between the 2 versions to you. This is an excellent way to keep an eye on your hardware. It's not something I would expect a would-be-attacker to think of when compromising a Cisco. A changes (even to the stores IOS image) will be picked up by RANCID. I run RANCID every 4 hours on all of my hardware.

There are other tools that do the same thing. Cisco points users to the COSI-NMS project.

Browse that site and you'll find other similar applications.

I should really start proof-reading my posts before I click send...

Thanks to you all I'll try RANCID , sounds fine !

I would do copy run tftp but I couldn't even log-on by telnet with the script

THANKS, once again.

As fas as I recall Windows telnet is broken and can not accept input from stdio.

As suggested to do your own scripting use Expect. It is rumoured that TerraTerm has good scripting tools.

In addition you can do a config download using snmp.
