checking an attribute
Posted by priyadharshini (priyadharshini), 8 May 2008
Hi,I wrote an Expect script to send commands to a router and capture the router's routing table. I need to check the value of some attributes of a particular route entry in the routing table. in some routers the routing table are in table format like the following,
Codes: R - RIP, Rc - RIP connected, Rs - RIP static, Ra - RIP aggregated,^M^M
Rcx - RIP connect suppressed, Rsx - RIP static suppressed,^M^M
K - Kernel, C - Connected, S - Static, O - OSPF, I - IS-IS, B - BGP^M^M
^M^M
Network Next Hop If Met Tag Time^M^M
Rc 3:1:1:1::/64 :: ethernet0/2 1 0 ^M^M
Rc 5:1:1:1::/64 :: ethernet0/2 1 0 ^M^M
in some others it looks like,
1.0.0.0/8 auto-summary^M
1.1.1.1/32^M
[1] via 170.1.1.5, 00:00:05, FastEthernet0/0^M
2.0.0.0/8 auto-summary^M
2.2.2.2/32 directly connected, Loopback2^M
170.1.0.0/16 auto-summary^M
170.1.1.0/24 directly connected, FastEthernet0/0^M
180.1.0.0/16 auto-summary^M
180.1.1.0/24^M
[1] via 170.1.1.5, 00:00:05, FastEthernet0/0^M
can you please help me to do this?
Thank you,

Yes, I probably can help but I need to know a little more. I understand that you already have the strings from the router saved into a varaible, but it may be one of two formats and you need to identify which it is and extract some infomation from it - is that correct? Taking the examples you have given, can you tell me which the information you wantg to extract is in each case?
Thanks
Posted by priyadharshini (priyadharshini), 8 May 2008
Thank you for your timely reply. Your understanding is right.In different places 'm checking different attribute values. for example at on place i need to check whether the metric of a route entry is equal to some number, in some other places i 'll be checking whether a particular interface with its ip address exists in the routeing table or not. some places 'm checking the time attribute of a route entry.
Thank you,

But not being an expert in those particular reports and the background behind them, I remain unsure as to how I can help / advise. Please do quote an example of* This is the string I may get
* This is what I want to extract from it
* These are the parts that are invarient to help you recognise it
Actually, that's a pretty good general principle statment for specifying a regular expression!

The routing table follows the "show ip rip database". The 1st column in the routing table is a code that specifies the route category. I need to check whether the code is Rc for a network (used with the network cammand in router mode), the metric value is 1 and the interface is the one specified in the interface command(global terminal mode).
At the neighbor routers routing table the routing entry 'll have a different metric value and the next hop 'll be the ip address that was specified with ip address command(interface mode).
