Retriving the prompt

Hi, I'm writing code with this perl module to backup my configurations (Cisco first, then maybe other vendors) I just need to know how could I retrive the prompt of the router/switch. When I used Net::Telnet::Cisco is was

$session->lastprompt

Re: Retriving the prompt

Hi Miky
You should be able to use lastprompt on the Net::Appliance::Session object itself.

Both Net::Telnet::Cisco and my module Net::Appliance::Session are derived from Net::Telnet. The last_prompt, lastline and other similar methods are from Net::Telnet so are automatically inherited by objects in the Net::Appliance::Session class. e.g.:

my $s = Net::Appliance::Session->new('hostname.example'); $s->connect(Name => 'username', Password => 'loginpass'); ...etc... $s->cmd('show access-list'); print $s->last_prompt;

Please see the Net::Telnet manual page for further details. I hope that helps :-)

regards,
oliver.

Re: Retriving the prompt

Hi Oliver, I'm afraid this last prompt is not displayed with the Net::Appliance::Session module. I just copied and pasted your exemple modifying the host, user, and password. I also modified the command line so is would display the access-lists

print $s->cmd('show access-list');

So I'm sure it's logging on the router. the

print $s->last_prompt;

works successfully on net:telnet and net::telnet::cisco though Regards

Re: Retriving the prompt

Hi miky

Okay, I have found the problem, and I must apologise because there is a bug in Net::Appliance::Session!

I have just released a new version of the module, 0.19, which I think fixes this issue. You may have to wait a short time before it reaches your local CPAN mirror.

regards,
oliver.
