Hello All,

I am attempting to use Net::Telnet::Cisco to connect to my router and then from there connect to port 25 on a mail server. However, I am running into strange issues with it. The error is:

command timed-out at ciscomailtester.pl

#!/usr/bin/perl 

use strict; 

use Net::Telnet::Cisco; 

my ($router, $mail, $line, $routeruser, $routerpass); 

$router = "1.1.1.1"; 
$routeruser="user"; 
$routerpass="pass"; 

$mail = Net::Telnet::Cisco->new(Host => "$router"); 
$mail->login("$routeruser", "$routerpass"); 
$mail->cmd('telnet 2.2.2.2 25'); 
$mail->close;

Please keep in mind I can run all other router commands and get the results I would expect, but when telneting out using the cmd() it gives the time out error. Note: The command does work if I do exactly what the script is doing.. i.e. telnet to my router login with the user and pass and then telnet to my mail server via the identical command. So this leads me to believe the problems lie's within Net::Telnet::Cisco. I also tried putting the command inside $mail->print('telnet 2.2.2.2 25');, however I did not have any luck this route either. Please let me know if you have any ideas.

Thanks,
