Is there a way to run:

show run
show inventory
show version

on a series of routers using an automated script?

You should check out the expect command using SSH

Cisco EEM (http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/ios-nx-os-software/ios-embedded-event-manager-eem/index.html)

or

write those commands in notepad then "copy & paste" to routers ?

or

TCLSH ?

foreach address {
x.x.x.x
x.x.x.x
x.x.x.x} { ping $address
}

Ansible is another option; once you have it setup you can remotely control all your devices (also uses SSH):

I have to wait for one output to finish before I execute the next command. Is there a shortcut?

How are you connecting to said equipment? Console, ssh, telnet, etc?
What Operating System are you using to access your equipment? Windows?

If you let me know, I can help you write a script.

you asked about script, why don't you start learning script? here is the tutorial :

Any video demostration of what I need. The tcl script is over what I need. I just need a simple script that will run the various commands after the previous output is finished.

I can telnet/ssh to the equipment using putty.I am using windows.
I would like a sample script on 1 router first.
I would like to test it.
Thank you!

term sh

function dppagc () {
show run
show inventory
show version
}

Then type "dppagc" at the command prompt. This may or may not work depending on what version of code you are running. You would have to create that function on each router you wanted to run it on. If you're looking to run it on a series of routers, then Pynet might be a good option.

hi thomas, it doesnt work

after i enter my login and password, it does not recognise function dppagc () .
What is the step I do after

login: myname
Password: cisco
Router#

what do I do next??

If i type in sh run, sh ip int br, ...
The sh ip int br will become truncated to br.
This is what I am facing.

You hvae to type "term shell" first. If your IOS code supports it the rest of the commands will work.

Is the term shell command in config mode or privileged mode?
Or is it because I am using Nexus OS so it doesnt accept?

Hi any EEM script for this?

Hi I still have to putty in manually and also save the file to desktop manually. Any suggestions?

Don't how me exactly how because I'd have to research it, but I'm pretty sure this also can be done in TeraTerm using Macro Scripting with LogMeTT.
