Assuming you don't have central management like CiscoWorks, I'd recommend executing shell/Expect scripts from a Linux box, in these steps:
- Create a directory, enter into it.
- Create text files with the devices' names (i.e. switch01.txt)
- Create the Expect script below, add executable rights
- Create the shell script below, add executable rights
- Run the shell script like this: ./myscript CLI_USER CLI_PASS
- Ta-dah
This is not a fancy way, but it worked for me before. Please check all scripts as I only wrote them now without testing. Also note that there's no error checking, you have to check all data manually before executing the script.
Expect script:
#!/usr/bin/expect
set timeout 60
set host [lindex $argv 0]
set fname [lindex $argv 1]
set user [lindex $argv 2]
set password [lindex $argv 3]
spawn telnet "$host"
expect "Username:"
send "$user\n"
expect "Password: "
send "$password\n"
expect "#"
send "conf t\n"
expect "#"
set fp [open "$fname" r]
set file_data [read $fp]
set data [split $file_data "\n"]
foreach line $data {
send "interface $line\n"
expect "#"
send "port security max-mac-count 2\n"
expect "#"
}
send "end\n"
expect "#"
send "wri\n"
expect "#"
send "q\n"
expect eof
Shell script:
#!/bin/sh
for DEVICE_FILE in `ls *.txt`
do
HOST=`echo $DEVICE | cut -d "." -f 1
./myexpectscript $HOST $DEVICE_FILE $1 $2
done
