TCL script

[Poulp]

I have never used TCL before, so I need some help making a script. The script should run on a ie3000 switch.

1: it needs to find the MAC address of a device (AP1562) connected to an interface.

2: the MAC address should be put into a variable.

3: the script should then make an ssh to a WLC, and move the AP1562 from default-flexconnect group, to the one I want.

4: the script should then rename the AP (hostname) to the one I want.

I imagine that the script is in a file, that could be executed by the event manager, but if there are any better ideas, please don`t hesitate to suggest them :)

Hope that anyone can help me out here.

Best regards Poul Pedersen

What are the exact steps to do all of this manually?  What version of code does the switch run?

HI Joe.

here are the steps to do this manually from the Ie3000 (IOS 15.x.x.x)

1: show mac address-table interface fa1/8 

2: ssh {ip address WLC} username password

3: config flexconnect group {flex-connect group name}  ap add {AP MAC address} 

4: Config ap name {new ap name} {old ap name}  (still with the SSH to the WLC)

Hope this makes sense

Without the actual output involved in these commands, I wouldn't call these exact steps.  But this applet should get you started.

event manager applet rename-ap

 event none

 action 001 cli command "enable"

 action 002 cli command "show mac address-table interface fa1/8"

 action 003 regex "([0-9a-f.]+[[:space:]]+DYNAMIC[[:space:]]+Fa1/8" "$_cli_result" match mac

 action 004 cli command "ssh wlc" pattern "ser:"

 action 005 cli command "WLC-USERNAME" pattern "assword:"

 action 006 cli command "WLC-PASSWORD" pattern ">"

 action 007 cli command "config flexconnect group GROUP-NAME ap add $mac" pattern ">"

 action 008 cli command "config ap name NEW-NAME OLD-NAME" pattern ">"

 action 009 cli command "logout"

This applet would get triggered by running "event manager run rename-ap",
