I was wondering if there was anyway you could automate the process of telnet-ing into a cisco router and retrieving its information such as its model number, configurations, and type of IOS its running without actually doing manually for each individual IP address. I have a table of about 5000 routers so I'm looking for a more simple solution that would help me out, perhaps there is some kind of script?

Need help retrieving router information

Sure.. you need SNMP installed and configured on all 5000 routers.. The utilities set I like is solarwinds. There is also a utilities that works nicely called "Cat-tool" which also can catch the switches info as can solarwinds. I find SW to be a bit more proffesional and polished.. still it's cheap.. under 400 for the full on package:
