Telnet login to HP switch

[svss]

Hi there,

i have the following script whci works most of the time for me...

;##################################

;LOGIN Telnet

;#################################

Dim $delay = 0, $ip = "x.x.x.x", $passwd = "xxxxxx"

FileDelete("C:\xxxx.txt")

$delay = Ping($ip) + Ping($ip) + Ping($ip) ;this delay is to be sure that it is enough time to get the prompt back from the switch

Run("telnet "&$ip)

Sleep(100 + $delay)

ControlSend("Telnet", "", "","admin"&@CR)

Sleep(100 + $delay)

ControlSend("Telnet", "", "",$passwd&@CR)

ControlSend("Telnet", "", "",'copy command-output'&@CR)

ControlSend("Telnet", "", "","exit"&@CR)

ControlSend("Telnet", "", "","yes"&@CR)

ControlSend("Telnet", "", "","exit"&@CR)

ControlSend("Telnet", "", "","yes"&@CR)

WinClose("Telnet")

But sometimes the switch comes back with

Connection to host lost

so the script won`t work anymore i have to manually login to the box and

close the cmd box.

Is there a way to react to this message?

Like sending a "enter" command in this case and start the telnet session again?

Thanks for your help

You should take a look at

StdinWrite()
StdoutRead()

These will allow you to interract with your CMD window

I don't know how to use this and fail each time, maybe some of the guru's here can help you out

[svss]

thanks for the reply...

seems we are in the same boat.

I don`t really understand how to use STDOUT in this case.

Hope someone can give me some clues.

Thanks

Dont use the telnet from windows, build you own client.

#Include <INet.Au3>
TcpStartUp ()

$remoteserver = tcpconnect(TCPNameToIP("www.yourveryniceserver.com"), "23") ;client 2 TELNETserver, leave "TCPNameToIP" out if you have IP only. 23 is telnetport.
Do
    ; do till connected to that server.
sleep(100)
until $remoteserver <> "-1"
While 1
Sleep ('100');
$Recv1 = TCPRecv($remoteserver, "1000");1000 means max stringlen. 

;KnockKnock Who's There?
$Username = "Boo"
$password = "BooWho?" ; Cry baby :D

consolewrite($recv1);what the server replies
if stringinstr($recv1, "Enter your username") > 0 Then ;Depending what the server replies.. will probably be different in your case.
    tcpsend($remoteserver, $Username & @crlf)
elseif stringinstr($recv1, "Enter your password") > 0 then
    tcpsend($remoteserver, $password & @crlf)
elseif stringinstr($recv1, "Connection to host lost") > 0 then
    msgbox(16,"error","Connection lost to host");or any other code what to do.
EndIf

I think this is more the way you want to code this. If you have questions or something, shoot. I'm very experienced with network programming. This is alot better coz you can manipulate the in- and catch the output alot more accurate.

I think this is wrong (can be neverending loop):

$remoteserver = tcpconnect(TCPNameToIP("www.yourveryniceserver.com"), "23") 
Do
  ; do till connected to that server.
  sleep(100)
until $remoteserver <> "-1"

It should be

$remoteserver = tcpconnect(TCPNameToIP("www.yourveryniceserver.com"), "23") 
if $remoteserver = -1 Then Exit

Thanks a lot that is almost working for me.

I altered a wee bit since somtimes the switch asked

for username and password

Ok is the Exit the right way to close the socket?

Also when the message comes up 'Connection to host lost'

how can i loop to the initial login again?

Thanks a million

Glad you are progressing mate.

You should put your code inside tags.

Quote any reply where you see this to see how

#include "AutoItTags"
If _Include_tags() Then
   _code_looks_like_this()
EndIf
Exit

Lol, that's also my post.

You're right about the loop tho, but i was only making a fast example for this

Thanks a lot that is almost working for me.

I'm just going to point this out because it's bugging me.

This is wrong.

elseif stringinstr($Recv1, "Connection to host lost") > 0 then

If you lose connection to the host how is the host going to send you "Connection to host is lost"? When you see "Connection to host is lost" in telnet that's literally telnet telling you that it lost connection to the host.
