TCL Ping Script for Routers

 

 

 Incase you are assigned with task to ping lots of IP addresses from the router.

This task can be very tiring and time consuming.

The solution for this is using simple TCL Ping script which is already available in Cisco IOS 12.2(25)

So lets see this basic TCL Script stuff !

foreach address {
1.1.1.1
2.2.2.2
3.3.3.3
4.4.4.4
5.5.5.5
} { puts [ exec "ping $address" ] }

The word "address" is a just a variable !

Now lets exceute the same on router


Router#tclsh
Router(tcl)#foreach address {
+>1.1.1.1
+>2.2.2.2
+>3.3.3.3
+>4.4.4.4
+>5.5.5.5
+>} { puts [ exec "ping $address" ] }

Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 1.1.1.1, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/2/4 ms

Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 2.2.2.2, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/1/1 ms

Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 3.3.3.3, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/1/1 ms

Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 4.4.4.4, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/1/4 ms

Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 5.5.5.5, timeout is 2 seconds:
