running "telnet" within a batch file

I'm creating a batch file to change some routes in our network.

When it gets to the telnet portion, it doesn't enter the passwords.

here is the example..



cd \

rem .


COLOR 0E

@ECHO OFF

cls

ECHO THIS BATCH FILE WILL REROUTE ALL ADP-SIS TRAFFIC TO HOUSTON


pause

ECHO ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO PROCEED?

pause

ECHO ARE YOU POSITIVE?

pause


telnet 104.109.12.119
testing
enable
testing
conf t
no ip route 129.23.132.0 255.255.255.0
ip route 129.23.132.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.30.6
exit


ECHO Changing core router in Dallas.


ECHO Done.


ECHO Changing Configuration on the Tasman in Dallas


ECHO Done.


ECHO Changing Configuration on the Tasman in Houston

ECHO Done.

ECHO ALL TRAFFIC ROUTING CHANGED TO HOUSTON.
ECHO ALL TRAFFIC ROUTING CHANGED TO HOUSTON.

pause


It will stop after the telnet command and wait for me to enter the password when I have it in the script automatically.

This batch file is being used in windows.

Hi papalokey

By running telnet, your script passes the sceptre of power
to telnet. It will wait until telnet exits. Well, windows shell
is not unix shell :) But still, you can do a lot with it!

For me, the most practical way is to create a WScript in a batch-file,
making use of the SendKeys method. See a recent example[1]
I have written a couple of days ago.

Good luck.

Cheers.

Perl makes it easy (and OS independent):

Code:

---

use Net::Telnet;

$t = Net::Telnet->new( Timeout => 10, Prompt => '>');

$t->open("myrouter");
$t->login("username", "password");

$commands = "conf t\n".
              "no ip route 129.23.132.0 255.255.255.0\n".
              "ip route 129.23.132.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.30.6\n";

@response = $t->cmd("$commands");

print @response;

---

But you might want to give the commands line by line so you can check the response.
