script to query for uptime, ios/cat, version

[Dragomir]

is it possible to get the uptime, ios or catos version and version number of all my cisco switches from a script?

[fabios]

Yes.

You can easily do with expect which can login on each router/switch, issue the required commands and store the output in the required format in a file.

You can look it up on google and this is the main puprose for which expect was written.

Hope this helps

this is what i have

#!/usr/bin/expect -f

set timeout 20

set IPaddress x.x.x.x

set Password "xxxxx"

spawn telnet $IPaddress

expect "Password: "

send "$Password\r"

exp_send "sh version\r"

expect "R1#"

exp_send "exit\r"

how do I find what i need and then save to a file for 100s switches

I need

version, uptime, image name, serial

sh ver | i System Bootstrap Version

If you use SecureCRT you can use VBScript. I could send you an example if you're interested.

I use SecureCRT. Can you share your scrpt?

Thank you,

Another option is perl.   I use this script to get this info in one of the lab subnets via snmp.   net-snmp needs to be installed on your system if you want to use it as is.   May need to add another OID for uptime information.

#!/usr/bin/perl

system(clear);
open(STDERR , ">> /dev/null");
open(STDOUT , "> info_devices");
for ($int = 1; $int <= 124; $int = $int + 1) {
push(@IP , "192.168.23.$int ")
}

foreach $IP (@IP) {
print "\ninfo for $IP\n";
system("snmpget -v 2c -c public $IP SNMPv2-MIB::sysName.0 SNMPv2-MIB::sysObjectID.0 SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0");
}

i do not have snmpget

my switches are on mutiple subnets

how do I do this per switch?

[Dan Frey]

snmpget is part of the net-snmp package, it can be downloaded here: http://www.net-snmp.org/

Populate the individual switch IP addresses directly into the @IP array. Separate each IP with a space in the array.

#!/usr/bin/perl

system(clear);
open(STDERR , ">> /dev/null");
open(STDOUT , "> info_devices");

@IP = qw(10.34.1.3 192.168.3.2 10.55.94.1);

foreach $IP (@IP) {
print "\ninfo for $IP\n";
system("snmpget -v 2c -c public $IP SNMPv2-MIB::sysName.0 SNMPv2-MIB::sysObjectID.0 SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0");
}
