Expect script help needed- skipping unavailable routers?
Hey all. Sometimes I'm tasked to change some router configs for the entire network (over 3,000 Cisco routers). Most of the time its a global config parameter so its done with a loop and an IP list as its the same configuration change for all routers. This is working OK.
However, sometimes an expect script must be generated for ALL routers since the config changes are different for each router. The way we approach it, we divide the routers per regional domains (6 in total), and produce 1 expect script per regional domain. The problem I'm having is that when I schedule these type of expect scripts to run via crontab, they usually get hung anytime a router fails to respond (maintenance, outage, etc). How can I make the script go to the next router if a router cannot be reached? Here's a sample line of the 20K lines:
Well, I am not even sure if its failing, cause at the other end I have a select call and it wakes up and reads the data I sent fine.
Ok here is the issue, I have a UDP socket(non blocking) through which I push some data to another port. At the other end I have select loop, waiting for this data.... (6 Replies)

The user, password, IP addresses, prompt regex, etc. have been anonymized. In general this script will log into the sensors and send commands successfully but there are... (1 Reply)

I'm fairly new to scripting so this might not be possible.
I am using Expect with Cisco switches and need to capture the string after finding the expect request. For example, when I issue "show version" on a Nexus switch, I'm looking to capture the current firmware version:

map-mbone - Multicast Router Connection Mapper
SYNOPSIS
debuglevel] retries] timeout] [multicast-router]
DESCRIPTION
requests the multicast router connection information from the multicast-router, and prints the information to the standard out. sends out
the ASK_NEIGHBORS igmp message to the multicast-router. When the multicast-router receives the request, it sends back its configuration
information. multicast-router can be either an ip address or a system name.
If the multicast-router is not specified, flood mode is on by default and the igmp request message is sent to all the multicast router on
the local network. With flood mode on, when finds new neighbor routers from the replies, it will send the same igmp request to the new
neighbor routers. This activity continues until no new neighbor routers are reported in the replies.
The command line options are:
Sets the level for printing out the debug message. The default is 0,
which prints only error and warning messages. Debug level three prints most the messages.
Sets the retry times to poll the routing daemon for information. The
default is 1.
It specifies the timeout value in seconds for waiting the reply. The
default value is 2 seconds.
Sets the flood mode on. It is the default value when no multicast-router is given on the command line input.
Generates output in GRaphEd format.
Disable DNS lookup for the multicast router names.
The output contains the interface configuration information of the requested router(s). The format for each interface output is:
If there are multiple neighbor routers on one interface, they will all be reported. The neighbor_name will not be printed if the option is
specified on the command line.
The possible values for are:
Neighbors are reached via tunnel.
The tunnel uses IP source routing.
The interface is down.
The interface is administratively disabled for multicast routing.
The local router is the querier of the subnet.
The format of the GRaphEd output is:
If there is no neighbor router on an interface, then a will be put next to the node_name. If there are multiple neighbor routers on one
interface, all of them will be reported. The possible values for are:
The neighbor is reached via tunnel.
The neighbor is on the same network/subnet.
The interface is down.
