Thanks, however, I will not have access to the router via telnet. Our environment uses tacacs, and the systems group will not add a generic user that can be used via the script for login purposes to perform the wr net. Which leaves me with my only alternative. Taking advantage of the RW snmp string on the routers and getting the information through that method. I could certainly use my login/password pair for access, however, I'd like this script to survive whether or not I am with the company of not.
Thanks for the suggestion and your time spent writing the alternative script, however I'm locked into using net::snmp.
