I need the script to ssh into a switch and change some values, so I'm thinking expect is my best option to accomplish that.
yes it is;
Here is a script I use to logon into dell racs to chekc configurations... Id rather just post an example for you because I spent a good 7-8 hours trying to figure out how to do this type of stuff with expect.. so hopefully this will save you some time.
as you can see I run the ssh command... it will cycle through 2 possible passwords and then look for return phrase my command gives... I dont think the timeout portion works.. but I wrap the script in a bash script and verify I can connect to the ip before running this script.
simply put there is not much out on google for advanced expect scripts but hopefully this will get you going. There is also an expect automate tool to help you get the intial formatting down.. forget how to run it though.
Guys,

ssh-copy-id
SSH-COPY-ID(1) General Commands Manual SSH-COPY-ID(1)NAME
ssh-copy-id - install your public key in a remote machine's authorized_keys
SYNOPSIS
ssh-copy-id [-i [identity_file]] [user@]machine
DESCRIPTION
ssh-copy-id is a script that uses ssh to log into a remote machine and append the indicated identity file to that machine's ~/.ssh/autho-
rized_keys file.
If the -i option is given then the identity file (defaults to ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub) is used, regardless of whether there are any keys in your
ssh-agent. Otherwise, if this:
ssh-add -L
provides any output, it uses that in preference to the identity file.
If the -i option is used, or the ssh-add produced no output, then it uses the contents of the identity file. Once it has one or more fin-
gerprints (by whatever means) it uses ssh to append them to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the remote machine (creating the file, and directory,
if necessary.)
NOTES
This program does not modify the permissions of any pre-existing files or directories. Therefore, if the remote sshd has StrictModes set in
its configuration, then the user's home, ~/.ssh folder, and ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file may need to have group writability disabled manu-
ally, e.g. via
chmod go-w ~ ~/.ssh ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
on the remote machine.
