HP J4813A ProCurve Switch 2524 - Telnet using variables.

[cristiannilsson]

Hello!

I am facing some issues running backup on HP J4813A ProCurve Switch 2524 using Telnet (Switch doesnt support SSH-2) using variables instead of hard-coded credentials.

Here is the "prompt" line i use:

prompt /(^\r|\e\[24;[0-9][hH])?([\w]+[>#]+[\s]+)+($|(\e\[24;[0-9][0-9]?[hH]){3})/

And i also updated the "cfg :telnet do" section to match prompts:

Please Enter Login Name: 
Please Enter Password: 

  cfg :telnet do
    username /(Please\sEnter\sLogin\sName\:\s?)|(Username\:\s)/
    password /(Please\sEnter\sPassword\:\s?)|(Password\:\s?)/
  end

The issue im facing is that it never goes into enable mode to change prompt from ">" to "#" when i use variables.

I beleve its having a hard time to understand the feedback that comes up when i enter "enable" in prompt:

XXXX_SW> en
Please Enter Login Name: crinil
Please Enter Password:

This works:

  cfg :telnet, :ssh do
    # preferred way to handle additional passwords
    if vars :enable
      post_login do
        send "enable\n"
        send "oxidized\n"
        send "mypassword\n"
      end
    end
    post_login 'no page'
    pre_logout "logout\ny\nn"
  end

This doesn´t work:

  cfg :telnet, :ssh do
    # preferred way to handle additional passwords
    if vars :enable
      post_login do
        send "enable\n"
        send "oxidized\n"
        cmd vars(:password)
      end
    end
    post_login 'no page'
    pre_logout "logout\ny\nn"
  end

I would like for "send "oxidized\n"" to be a variable and same for "send "mypassword\n"".

Please advice me how i can skip hard-coded credentials in the .rb file to instead use variables?

It does not work with Procurve model: https://github.com/ytti/oxidized/blob/master/lib/oxidized/model/procurve.rb ?
