Multiple router configuration.

[rubenmontilla]

Hi,

I have too many routers on Branch offices. Sometimes I need to send the same commands to all of them. Example: all of my routers need "service password-encryption" enable.

Do you know a telnet that allow me to connect a router, send an script, logout, connect the next router, send the same script...... without my interaction.

Thanks.

snmp scripts

SolarWinds Professional Plus has this feature or if you are good you can write the script yourself if you familiar with snmp. Here is a sample:

#!/opt/CSCOcwh/bin/expect --
#
# File: cswcmd (Cisco switch command, derived from ciscocmd)
#

http://www.flash.net/~da_davis/code/cswcmd

# Author: Darin Davis, darin_davis@ins.com
# Date: 2 October 1998
# Update: 1 March 1999
# Desc: Connects to Cisco switch and runs a single user-specified command.
# If user provides an enable password, the command is run in
# enable mode, otherwise the command is run in user mode.
#
# We know the command is done when we see the prompt ('(enable)'
# enable mode). Unfortunately, there is no standard character
# to indicate the user mode prompt. Typically, the prompt is
# set to the switch hostname, but there is no guarantee the user
# mode prompt will agree with DNS. So, the user must manually
# verify that the hostname given to cswcmd resolves in DNS or
# /etc/hosts, and matches the user mode prompt.
#
# Input: user-specified command line parameters
# Output: stdout
# Usage: See usage().
