configuration of switch brocade

Hello everybody.
I want to write a script to connect on a switch and get information as
switchshow and portshow.
In tne past, I use expect to connect and get information in a file.
Is there any other way ?
Thanks in advance

You could try using SNMP GETs, Brocades do support the FC switch MIB.

It really depends on what kind of information you are trying to get
at,
and how much work you are willing to put into maintaining the scripts
when the switches upgrade. The MIB follows a standard, so it's more
likely
to keep working across firmware upgrades. Using expect to use the cli
can break without any guarantees, but then you might be able to get
some information that's not in the FC switch MIB standard....
