TCL Script to Test Reachabilities

After you finish configuration the routing protocols and redistributions, you need to test connectivity to all the interfaces for all routers.

We can configure TCL Script to achieve this:

Router##tclsh
+>foreach address {
+>192.168.1.1
+>192.168.1.2
+>192.168.1.3
+>192.168.1.4
+>} { ping $address }
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 192.168.1.1, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/2/4 ms

Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 192.168.1.2, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 56/58/60 ms

Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 192.168.1.3, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 84/86/89 ms

Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 192.168.1.4, timeout is 2 seconds:
.....
Success rate is 0 percent (0/5)
Router(tcl)#exit
