All,

Im trying to write a program to ssh into a cisco box and run a certain command (write memory) on multiple devices. I think the best tool for this is using expect

Im not sure exactly sure how to write this code, but here is what im thinking:

#!/usr/bin/expect

log_user 0
spawn ssh cisco@192.168.0.1
expect "assword: "
send "password\r"
expect "\>" #shows the prompt of a cisco switch in enable mode
send "conf t"
expect "assword"
send "password\r"
expect "conf"
send "wr mem"
interact

Please let me know your thoughts

Thank you

i figured out how to do this


#!/usr/bin/expect
spawn ssh user@192.168.0.1
expect "user@192.168.0.1's password:"
send "passwd\r"
expect ">"
send "en\r"
expect "Password:"
send "passwd\r"
expect "#"
send "conf t\r"
expect "#(config)"
send "wr m\r"
expect "#(config)"
