This all may be finished at one go.
TCL Ping Script Is The Reply
As from Cisco IOS 12.2(25), TCL scripting has been made a part of Cisco IOS. All one wants is the fundamentals – To entry the tcl command line in Cisco router challenge the “tclsh” command. For the TCL ping script simply modify the IP addresses what’s proven beneath and it ought to be good.
Observe: in beneath case, we are attempting to ping 5 IP addresses.
foreach tackle {
1.1.1.1
2.2.2.2
3.3.3.3
4.4.4.4
5.5.5.5
} { places [ exec “ping $address” ] }
The phrase “tackle” right here is only a variable, you’ll be able to substitute this with something you need. Now lets attempt making use of this to the Cisco router.
+>(tcl)#1.1.1.1
+>(tcl)#2.2.2.2

+>(tcl)#5.5.5.5

That’s it!!!
Isn’t this straightforward and useful ? The truth is many CCIE candidates additionally use this script to avoid wasting on time.
One can do this on GNS3 or dynamips lab and take a look at the output. All the perfect !!!
