check_cisco_ifs - via SSH or Telnet
This plugin allows monitoring of 1 or more interfaces of Cisco equipments.
Supports both SSH and Telnet.
It was tested on 4500 switches but should work properly on any IOS based equipment.
The plugin will return 0 [OK] if all given I/Fs are up, 1 [WARNING] if one of more are down and 2 [CRITICAL] if all are down.

The plugin depends on the CiscoIOS Perl module [also supplied] which has a few other useful functions for operations on Cisco boxes.

Usage example:

$ ./check_cisco_ifs.pl '172.25.0.12' 'GigabitEthernet2/10,GigabitEthernet2/11' 'cisco' 'cisco' 'cisco' 'SSH' status

OUTPUT:
Analyzing IOS query results: 'GigabitEthernet2/10 is up, line protocol is up (connected)
WARNING: found 1 I/Fs down: 'GigabitEthernet2/11 is down, line protocol is down (notconnect)

RC: 1


CHANGELOG:
Ver 0.3, Mar 26, 2013:
Net::Appliance::Session changed significantly since the version this was written with:
- Replaced call for input_log() with set_global_log_at()
- Don't drop to priv mode unless needed, previously done in ios_connect(). In order to keep the API as is, the argument for priv passwd is still required but - you can pass whatever string you want there.
- childpid() was dropped from Session's API, terminate_session() only calls close() now and it seems to be fine.

Hi all!

I'm running Fedora 17 and when I try to run this script it give me error on perl:

./check_cisco_ifs.pl r3602 GigabitEthernet4/16 user pass yes SSH debug

Do you know any workaround for this?
