I can assure you EEM on IOS can initiate telnet session without a hitch, but on IOX, still struggling to find out the workaroud.
proc remote_cmd_telnet { remote_host username password prompt_expect clist } {
# this function will carry out each command contained in the clist on remote host.
if { [catch {cli_open} result] } {
PUTS $result
return 1
} else {
array set cliarr $result
}
#Login to remote router
if { [catch {cli_write $cliarr(fd) "telnet $remote_host" } result] } {
PUTS $result
return 1
}
PUTS $result
# if { [catch {cli_read_pattern $cliarr(fd) "Username:"} result] } {
# PUTS error "Failed to read response: '$result'"
# return 1
# }
#
#
# PUTS $result
#
if { [catch {cli_write $cliarr(fd) $username } result] } {
PUTS $result
return 1
}
PUTS $result
if { [catch {cli_read_pattern $cliarr(fd) "Password:"} result] } {
PUTS error "Failed to read response: '$result'"
return 1
}
PUTS $result
if { [catch {cli_write $cliarr(fd) $password } result] } {
PUTS $result
return 1
}
PUTS $result
if { [catch {cli_read_pattern $cliarr(fd) "#"} result] } {
