MOTD with # at the end of a line breaks login

[nicoonline]

Hello,

I managed to upgrade our server and i tested your module.
Do you manage the Pause on the Cisco devices.

I setup a simple test:
$router = new CiscoRouter('Ipaddress', 'user', 'pasword,'ssh');
$router->connect();
$router->enable('enable');
$config = $router->exec('show run');
$router->disconnect();
echo $config;

I checked on router a i see the login but nothing happened on my terminal :)

Hi,

This should work - when it connects it runs terminal length 0 to remove the paging stuff.

There is a known issue (#9) where it will hang if you have the router locked down to not allow that prior to enabling that I haven't yet worked around as I don't have a test environment set up in that way.

[nicoonline]

mmmm :) On that machine i have a public key to bypass the authentification and i'm directly on an enabled mode...

[nicoonline]

this is not that. How can we debug ? :)

[ShaneMcC]

If you want to use public key auth you'll need to use the openssh socket, something like:

<?php
	require_once(__DIR__ . '/PHPRouter.php');

	$host = '';
	$user = '';
	$pass = '';
	$enablePassword = '';

	echo 'Creating Socket...', "\n";
	$socket = new OpenSSHShellSocket($host, $user, $pass);
	echo 'Creating Router...', "\n";
	$router = new CiscoRouter('', '', '', $socket);
	echo 'Connecting...', "\n";
	$router->connect();
	echo 'Enable...', "\n";
	$router->enable($enablePassword);
	echo 'Running Command...', "\n";
	$version = $router->exec('show version');
	echo 'Disconnecting...', "\n";
	$router->disconnect();
	echo 'Done.', "\n";

	echo $version;

You can also do $router->setDebug(true) just before the connect() call to show what's happening - though the output isn't SUPER useful without some understanding of what's going on.

I've pushed a minor change just now related to one of the postConnect() tests that may result in more-successful logins in some cases.

i have a lot of line:
--- 0 [FALSE] {R1Kx_BRU1#term} == {term width 500}
--- 0 [FALSE] {1Kx_BRU1#term } == {term width 500}
--- 0 [FALSE] {Kx_BRU1#term w} == {term width 500}
--- 0 [FALSE] {x_BRU1#term wi} == {term width 500}
--- 0 [FALSE] {_BRU1#term wid} == {term width 500}
--- 0 [FALSE] {BRU1#term widt} == {term width 500}
--- 0 [FALSE] {RU1#term width} == {term width 500}
--- 0 [FALSE] {U1#term width } == {term width 500}
--- 0 [FALSE] {1#term width 5} == {term width 500}
--- 0 [FALSE] {#term width 50} == {term width 500}

i can share you in private the complete debug.

[nicoonline]

i found the issue, with a banner modt , the module can't connect.
I issued a "no banner modt"

[ShaneMcC]

hmm, interesting.

I do have devices that have banners that the code works for successfully, though if your banner had lines ending in # or > it might confuse it.

If you want to share the debug output, my email address should be in my github profile and I can take a look.

[ShaneMcC]

Turns out this is indeed a case of MOTD having #\n entries in it.

I've got some ideas to work around this.

[nicoonline]

Hey Shane,
Any ideas of timeline for the fix/improvement or i have to change all my modt everywhere :)

[ShaneMcC]

Hi,

No idea of a timeline at the moment I'm afraid.
