Hello Niko, because uncommenting the 3 lines giving me more error messages, i dig a bit deeper into CiscoIOS. And there is the rub(in my case). The behaviour using a Cisco SWITCH instead of a Cisco ROUTER is a bit different. In my IOS-Version(12.2(20)EWA3) it's not enough to create a user. You have to explicit assign the ping command to that privilege level with which the user loggs on. I configured that on my switches, and for now it works :-)
Perl is still all Greek to me, but thanks a lot for all the hints and tipps and pushing me a bit deeper into CiscoIOS. until my next Problem...

[...] > pattern match timed-out at > /usr/share/perl5/smokeping/Smokeping/probes/TelnetIOSPing.pm line 169 This means that the code on line 169 in TelnetIOSPing.pm didn't get the reply it was expecting from the router. Looking at the code, the conversation isn't very far yet. It's sending the command "ping" and expecting a dialog with "Protocol [ip]: " $telnet->print("ping"); $telnet->waitfor('/Protocol \[ip\]: $/'); Try to do the same interactively by telnetting into the router and see if you can spot the problem. As mentioned in its documentation, the TelnetIOSPing.pm contains some code for debugging the conversation. I have never used it, but it looks like just uncommenting the last three lines here: my $telnet = Net::Telnet->new(); # These are for debugging # $telnet->errmode("TIPreturn"); # $telnet->input_log("TIPinlog"); # $telnet->dump_log("TIPdumplog"); and running 'smokeping -debug' again should give you those files in the current directory. Try to see if you can find anything in them.
