Script to reload PIX

[johnvojtech]

Does someone know of or has created a script to login to a PIX and reload it without any intervention from the user? I can figure this out with Putty, but I was hoping to find a self contained script that any user can run from anywhere. The user would not know the commands used or the username/password. Any help would be great.

Thanks.

Hello John,

I have not configured that but the basic problem is that in the scipt itself the username and password would anyway be in clear text, which is a bad idea.

Anyway you could use Expect or Rancid in an Linux or Unix envoronment or Perl in windows of unix system.

Hope that gets you one step further.

sincerely

Patrick

with perl and some change (the complete code i 'had done will use a web page) will be like:

$session->login($conf{LOGIN}, $conf{PASS});

die "Non sono riusciato ad aprire il telnet\n" if(! $session);

$ok = $session->enable(Password => $conf{ENAPASS}, Level => $conf{ENALEVEL});

if ( $ok eq 0)

{

print STDERR "Enable Failed\n";

}else{

# Execute a command

@output1 = $session->cmd('configure terminal');

@output2 = $session->cmd('controller e1 1/0');

@output3 = $session->cmd('loop');

sleep(3);

@output4 = $session->cmd('no loop');

@output5 = $session->cmd('end');

print "1> @output1
\n2> @output2
\n3> @output3
\n4> @output4
\n5> @output5
\n";

print STDERR "Warning !! loop no loop\n1> @output1\n2> @output2\n3> @output3\n4> @output4\n5> @output5\n";

}
