Associate Professor Information Systems and Decision Sciences University of South FloridaĪlex Campoe, CISSP Director, Information Security University of South FloridaĮric Pierce Associate Director, Information Security University of South Florida If I telnet manually into the switch, all that is needed is 'enter', and not 'control+enter'.ĭoes anybody know how I would send a 'control+enter' through this application? I have tried '^m' '^m' but it simply prints those characters before the carriage return.Information Security and IT Risk Management Manish Agrawal, Ph.D. If I enter this key combination manually, I will then see the 'password:' prompt and the script will continue on. After some troubleshooting, it seems this particular Brocade model is looking for 'control+enter'. In fact, if I specify multiple 'm', the cursor will move down that many lines, but I will not see the 'password:' prompt.

The cursor moves down a line, but the 'password:' prompt does not appear (my second WAIT definition). On the console that pops up (you can interact with it while the script runs,) I can see that a carriage return is indeed entered after it sends 'administrator', but the switch does not seem to accept it. When running it against a DS16B, it hangs after sending my username.

These exact commands work wonderfully on a DS32B. TST10.exe uses 'm' to send a carriage return. I am sending this against a Brocade switch: The problem I am having is for some reason this particular model hangs after the first SEND command. It will look for the pattern you define with WAIT, and respond with your SEND commands. The basic idea with TST10 is you create a text file with WAIT/SEND commands (I use the batch file to dynamically write this file), and run TST10.exe against it. It works excellent on the DS32B Brocade switches, but I'm having a problem when running it against the DS16B switches.

Telnet Scripting Tool (TST10) by Albert Yale is exactly what I needed. I found this thread that lead me to a great utility: I cannot install an application, as this will be run on different windows machines everytime (new sites). I have a current need for a way to automate login and commands to fiber switches (Brocade, McData) from a DOS batch file, and save the output to a text file.
