ssh into cisco switch and run command

[robertkwild]

hi all,

i have enabled ssh pub key into my cisco switch from my linux server and trying to run this command all in one go and it is not working

ssh root@10.110.250.17 show system sensors

running them one at a time works fine, just when i try to do it in one go, doesnt work

i know if i do linux to linux i can do ssh and run command all in one go

thanks,

rob

Hi there,

The IOS ssh server process only offers an interactive session. What you are attempting is to execute a command in a non-interactive session.

cheers,

but if i run

ssh root@10.110.250.17

i get in, then run

show system sensors

it works, as it shows me the sensors, how can i do this then?

That is a 'normal' interactive session.

Your best bet is to write a script which will log in, run a commands and logout.

Something like this :
