Hi Guys,
Anyone encountered this error "CatTools Service Mail error: body error:552 5.3.4 Error: message file too big:"? I usually got this error when I try to backup multiple devices. I already tried to clear the mail queue but it still pops up. I know this is regarding mail services but I am unable to find in the Cat Tools software on how to tweak it. Thanks.
Whenever i try to run a Device.Backup.TFTP on any of my 5508 wireless LAN controllers i get the following error 'Did not receive expected response to command: transfer upload start' I suspect that this issue is caused by a timeout, as whenever i run this task manually it takes around 2 minutes to complete the TFTP transfer. To overcome this i used the following alternative list of commands:
config paging disable
transfer upload mode tftp
transfer upload datatype config
transfer upload serverip *.*.*.*
transfer upload path /
transfer upload filename %ctDeviceName.txt
%ctUM: Timeout 150
transfer upload start
These settings remove the error although cause another problem - it stops cattools from comparing the newly transferred file and the existing file on the disk. The ending result leaves the newly transferred file sitting in the TFTP directory. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I set up Cattools back in January to pull running configs and IOS images from all of my routers. Some time in the first week of April, the IOS downloads started erroring. The running configs are backing up correctly.
It is erroring out trying to write to the target file
For example, I have a router named BSN2811. When I run the activity to back it up I am getting:
The following command caused an error:\bsn\c2800nm-ipbase-mz.124-3i.bin
If I console on that router and run the commands, I get:
TFTP: error code 4 received - 21608
Any ideas? I have restarted the Cattools Service several times, and disabled the firewall on the server.
Dear Sir
I am new to KIWIcat tool, first time I have installed this tool to integarate with cisco asa for backup purpose. We manage around 100 cisco asa firewall and used to take manual backup. So we want to convert this process automatically with the help of kiwicat tool. However I am getting error message while take backup through tool which is listed below.
Reason (30012) Protocol version mismatch error.. Giving up after 3 connection attempts"
Could you please let me know if I have wrongly configured this or having this error due to any other reason.
Version of tool is 3.6.0 which I believe is latest one.
Please let me know if you require any other information to dig out the problem.
Thanks in advance
I am trying to backup this switch using the Device.CLI.Send activity. Here is what I am trying to send:
Login authentication Username:xxxx
Password:
<Raben Tire IT Switch>_cmdline-mode on
All commands can be displayed and executed. Continue? [Y/N]y
Please input password:******
Warning: Now you enter an all-command mode for developer's testing, some commands may affect operation by wrong use, please carefully use it with our engineer's direction.
<Raben Tire IT Switch>backup startup-configuration to 10.21.1.13
Backup next startup-configuration file to 10.21.1.13, please wait...
finished!
<Raben Tire IT Switch>quit
I get to the input of the password and get a syntax error. Since I get a syntax error there, the rest of the script never runs, it also gets a syntax error. How do I input a password at that point?
Thanks,
Jeff
I've been able to use Kiwi Cat Tools to backup nearly all of our Cisco devices successfully. However, our Nexus 7k's do not seem to be working with Cat Tools. We use radius authentication and ssh to access our 7k's but cat tools seems to stall after the ssh log-in. I've tried every combination of AAA username and password as well as ssh username and password, but no matter what it just seems to stall at the ssh fingerprint portion of the device backup. Anyone have any ideas as to what I am doing wrong or have another way to backup the configs for the 7k using Kiwi Cat Tools?
Has anyone setup Cattools to backup a Check Point cluster? I'm wondering if it is even possible. I'm running Cattools 3.9.
Thanks.
Hi,
I have an Orion NPM server in one location that is receiving syslogs from some nodes on the network in that location. I want those syslogs to go to another server in a different location so to simplify the firewall rule changes, I simply created a filter and an action on that filter to forward the syslog messages from those specific nodes to the other syslog server.
The problem though is that the destination syslog server sees the forwarded messages as coming from my Orion server IP and no indication of which IP originally generated the message.
Is there a way to show the IP of the node that originally generated the message?
Hello everybody.
I've set up tftp backups of some of my Fortigate firewalls. The first backup runs OK, but the subsequent ones will fail because of "Error code 2: Access violation". I've played a bit with it and it seems that it cannot overwrite the already existing backup file in the TFTP folder.
Anybody knows how to solve this?
The Kiwi CatTools Service is run by "Local System account".
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
F.
Hello,
We have an HP Procurve J4903A Switch 2824 and it is integrated with RADIUS Server for authentication.
We are using Cat Tools 3.4 demo version and tried to configure the switch for configuraton backup using Method SSH2.
And using Device.Backup.Running Config Type and SSH Username/Password are supplied. When Run the backup it shows the errors:
"Did not receive expected prompt when entering enable mode", and "Aborting: Unable to enter enable mode".
Do anybody faced this issue with SSH? Please help me to solve this problem.
Regards,
Achu
It would be great if you could add compare report activities on HP switches.
It should not be a big development as device is already supported with backup running configuration. All should be done is to adapt the command and the start of the startup configuration capture.
Command : show config
Output Result :
Startup configuration:
; ModelNumber Configuration Editor; Created on release #FirmwareVersion
line1
line2

Hi!
Today the CatTools service stopped working. I searched through the InfoLog.txt and found the following entries:
2010-11-29 00:33:52 1-Error 0 Kiwi CatTools Service *** INTERNAL PROGRAM ERROR - Please contact support via http://www.kiwisyslog.com/support ***
2010-11-29 00:33:52 1-Error 0 Kiwi CatTools Service Service Version 3.5.0 | Error Number: 14 | Description: Out of string space | Module Name: CatToolsFields.frm | Procedure Name: CreateHTMLReport | Line Number: 860 | Date and time: 29.11.2010 00:33:52
Did anybody experience the same error with version 3.5.0?

Hey guys... I have a pair of Ubiquiti NanoBridge M5's that I use for a wireless bridge. I currently use CatTools to backup my switches, routers, and firewalls. I would like to backup the config of these M5's too... however, I have not been able to find a good script to make it work. Has anyone had any experience with backing these up? I believe they are DD-WRT based, so we may be able to use that as a place to start...
It looks like when I'm trying to perform this backup, Kiwi is reporting a successful log in, but then failing when it tries to check the hostname.

Hi,
I'm baking up some Nortel Passport 8600 with CatTools 3.10.
Each day, I'm noticed of a config change for a time stamp in a comment line.
I'd like to set a variation to ignore this but the function is not enabled for the type Nortel.Switch.Passport
Any idea?
Thanks
Nicolas
I have been running CatTools 3.4 Free on an XP machine for some time and found it brilliant.
I've recently replaced this machine with a Win 7 x64 machine and installed CatTools 3.6 Free. Everything is working correctly except for the compare running configs which tells me that there is no change even when there is. This is occurring for several Cisco and Juniper models and they worked fine under 3.4 (which unfortunately I don't have anymore).
I dont' know if it's a cause or a result but the Dated Configs folder remains empty and does not have any history of the changed configs either. The version of the running config in the Config directory is always correct (ie it updates correctly when the activity runs) it's just the comparison and Dated Config that fails (or never occurs).
Please help, this is exactly what I used CatTools for. I've tried a fresh install and created new activities to no avail.
Thanks,
J
