PHP Telnet connection from a router to another router

[manuitpro]

Hi,

I have implemented a php script by which i can login to a router using fsockopen(), and i can run any cisco commands.

But i have requiremnt login to a remote from from a central router for the out of band management.

How can make a script by whch i can login to another cisco router (telnet) from an already logged in router.

my script has a class and functions.

Thanks

Besides the down right frightening aspect of controlling your router through a (yet to be determined unsecure) php application, there is no way to do this in PHP. It's nothing that PHP should do, just physically speaking: when you log into that first router, you interact with /it/ and only it through PHP.

That router can have other commands that may allow PHP to call the second router, but this not likely.

I'm no networking expect, but can't you allow the traffic for the second router connection go through the first one. i.e. opening ports, defining routes?

My 0.02,

Thanks for ur reply

To pass a command to router, php requires a connection variable ($this->_connection = @fsockopen($thi s->_hostname, 23, $errno, $errstr, $this->_timeout), I can connect to second router by using telnet command from first router and reaches up to the login prompt of second router. Now how do I use connection variable to pass commands to second router, if i use @fsockopen for second router, the source of connection is my webserver it is not sourcing from first router.
I just need to know is there any way to make @fsockopen source as a specified connection variable which is already exists rather than web server.

Thank u
