Expect Script Examples¶
This section shows some examples of scripts entered into a
Configuration Template for device/ios/Script that can be
used in a Provisioning Workflow to run the script. The examples
show the usage of macros and variables.
Consider the following script snippet:
spawn telnet {{ pwf.ios_details.host }} 23\n
If the Provisioning Workflow from which the script is executed contains
a context variable called ios_details with a value called
{{data.Ios.* || direction:local}}, then the device host will be
the value of the data.Ios instance in the current hierarchy.
Consider the following script snippet:
send "ping {{data.Countries.ios-country_code | country_name: 'South Africa'}}\r"\n
The script will be:
send "ping ZA\r"\n
Consider the following multi-line macro called IOS_enable:
expect "HQ>\r"
send "enable\r"
expect "Password:\r"
send "{{device_details.enable_password}}\r"
The macro in a multiline script needs to be entered on a single line - without line breaks.
If we had macros for other snippets called IOS_login and IOS_show_clock, then the Configuration Template
Expect Script value can be entered as these three macros:
{{IOS_login}}{{IOS_enable}}{{IOS_show_clock}}
