Description:
------------
I am using sockets to log in to a Cisco router. I need to issues the command "terminal length 0". The 0 must return a FALSE or NULL status to socket_write or maybe socket_read is what is actually returning false I am not sure. But it will not work in Binary, ASCII, OCTAL, HEX anything.

 

Reproduce code:
---------------
$IosCmdExec = 'terminal length 0' . "\n";
socket_write($socket, $IosCmdExec, strlen($IosCmdExec)); 

$makeCaptureFile = 'C:\rtrconfig\config.txt';
$captureFile = fopen($makeCaptureFile,'a');
$out = '';

while ($out = socket_read($socket, 1024)){ 
ereg_replace("\r", ' ', $out);
fwrite($captureFile, $out);
}

$sep = '***************************************************************************************';		
fwrite($captureFile, $sep);	

socket_shutdown($socket, 2);
socket_close($socket); 

Expected result:
----------------
I expect the writing of 'terminal length 0' to the Cisco CLI. It works fine as long as the digit is not 0. 1-512 etc.

xxxxxx#terminal length 512

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves. 

A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external 
resources such as databases, etc.

If possible, make the script source available online and provide
an URL to it here. Try to avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

I am not sure that I can reproduce the intended result without a router in 20 lines or less. What should I do?
 [2005-10-17 15:35 UTC] tony2001@php.net
We can't reproduce it either.
Please reopen the report when you have a short but complete reproduce script or just more info about it.
 [2005-10-17 15:58 UTC] shane at 71software dot com
If I give you access to the script and a router to run the script on will that suffice?
 [2005-10-17 15:58 UTC] shane at 71software dot com
The bug is not bogus.
 [2005-10-19 13:36 UTC] franz dot hofbauer at gmail dot com
Perhaps it's a Cisco-IOS-Bug?

Have you already checked the network-traffic with a sniffer (e.g. Ethereal), which bytes are exactly sent to the router by your PHP-Script?
 [2005-10-20 15:36 UTC] shane at 71software dot com
I have mostly ruled the Cisco IOS bug out because there are several Perl scripts that issue the 'terminal length 0' command. I will sniff the traffic though because that sounds like a great way to get some definitive answers. Thank you. I will post once I have it.
