Hi!
I updated some Cisco 2960 switches to IOS Version 12.2(52)SE. Since then the CatTools Activity Device.Update.Banner (Login) fails. After the command banner login `*** I get the error "%Invalid input detected at ...". Anyone with the same problem?
I have a question, I have 2 Cisco WiSM (Cisco 6500 blade) that I am trying to use Cat tools to backup the config files on a regular schedule. I have run into the following error when trying to run the activity: "Did not receive expected response to command: configshow" and then Cat tools disconnects from the switch. I used telnet to issue the show running-config command and what I noticed is right after the show running-config command is issued the switch prompts with: "Press Enter to continue or <CTRL-Z> to abort" or "--More-- or (q)uit " and sits there until there is user intervension. How can I automate the CR to continue command so I can use Cattools to pull the configuration of these switches? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
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
We are running CaTTools 3.11 for backing up several of our Cisco switches and it is working great. However, we also have a bunch of HP switches that we are also trying to use CaTTools with but I'm having trouble getting it working...
Started trying on a HP J9827a switch with 4 cards in it.
I've messed around with the different HP switch options including "other" and the variations...
From the debug log it looks to me like its dumping all the commands early not waiting for the prompts. How do I make it wait for the appropriate parts?
we dont have logins setup and that is all unchecked in the setup...
What am I missing? (debug below)

I'm backing up about 15 Cisco devices using Kiwi CatTools. It's working perfectly for all of them except the two Firewall Services Modules (FWSM) and the two ASAs. I get the warning "Failed to enter enable mode" in the Info Log. I've verified, though, that I can login to the devices successfully from the server that runs CatTools.
I'm using the following settings:
Connect via: Direct connect
Method: SSH2
Port: 22
AAA Username
AAA Password
Initial login requires username/password
Enable mode uses AAA username/password fields
These settings work for the other devices but not the FWSM and ASA. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
To disable paging, you can use Variations, and the following command:
Terminal pager 0
This works on an ASA 5520
Hello,
I recently upgraded the code on my Cisco 5508 wireless controller to 8.2.151.0, and it appears my backups are now failing. In the info log, the message is that CatTools didn't receive an expected response to command "show running-config".
I remoted into the device, and it appears that command "show running-config" has been replaced by "show run-config".
My question is--is there an updated cisco.wireless.lan script that would account for this change, or is there any way to modify my existing script? I'm currently on v3.10.0, and we don't have current software maintenance, so I'm not entitled to newer versions; that being said, I'm not against purchasing support if an update will absolutely fix the issue. I apologize if this has been posted before, but I only saw a similar thread from 2010. Thank you for any help you can provide!
Hi all,
I'm currently setting up a remote logging solution running two Windows Machines and I'm running Snare in one of them to send syslog messages to another one.
I want the syslog messages to be stored by Kiwi at the NT Event log system but with no success.
The messages are arriving but it seems like the format doesn't match the NT standards - the messages are logged at the other Windows box but you can't really do anything with them since all data (Event ID, source, Type, etc..) is in the field "DEscription", as follows:
I manage to change the character 009 for TAB (option "Replace non printable characters with <ASCII value>>" at Modifiers menu) and now I got tabs instead of <009> but that didn't help.
I expect Kiwi syslog to put the event in the NT Event Log pretty and clear, not this mess :(
Is there anything I'm missing?
By the way, what that message prior the event means? Any clue? /AUXSOURCE= flag ?
I hope anyone out there already performed this - I'm sure I'm not the only one. *hopes*
Cya all..
Hello everyone, I need some help. I have two errors that I'm having a issue with. Cattools sends me a errors in a email saying some of the back ups have failed.
Error 1: Reason: (10060) The current connection has timed out.. Giving up after 3 connection attempts.
Error 2: Reason: (10061) The requested connection has been refused by the remote host.. Giving up after 3 connection attempts.
I appreciate your help.
Thank you.
I have a Cisco 6500 that someone changed the enable password on it and don't remember. I am running Cat tools 3.11 that still backs up the configuration of that device everyday. How can I reset or recover the enable password by using Cat tools?
Hi ,
I am new to Kiwi tools . I am not able to take the backup of my cisco router using Kiwi . I am getting the error message like "enable mode failed" . I have tried to capture the error but when I checkd the Debug folder it was empty .

Hello,
When I try to run my Device.Backup.TFTP, I get a series of error messages with the following detail:
1-Error *my switch* Client LoadScriptFile: Script file not found. (C:\Program Files\CatTools3\Scripts\.txt
My first thought was the folder did not exist. I have verified that it does and the path name is correct and that there are .txt script files in that folder. Any help resolving this matter is greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Hi All
I'm trying to have CatTools to backup my HPE StoreFabric SN2010M storage switches.
These switches are rebranded Mellanox switches
So far my first issue was that the enable mode on the CLI was with a space after the "#" mark
I've managed to get this resolved using:
Private Const DEVICE_PRIVILEGEDPROMPT = "# "
in the created script for this device type.
I have successfully managed to have CatTools save a copy of the running config, BUT, and this is the tricky part for me:
After each 24 lines, the switch sends:
"lines 1-23"
which in my stored config file looks like:
" [7mlines 1-23 [m [K
[K "
This reoccurs after each normal CLI screen throughout the entire config file.
I'm not at all a script guy - so can somebody give me a clue on how to ignore each 24th line or something similiar, so the running config is cleaned for these annoying lines?
Does anyone know if you can do bulk password changes for devices,groups and so forth for either VTY,enable,privilege,console, AAA username/passowrd,SSH username/password. My dilemna is we do password changes on a quartlerly basis and it's a pain to have to manually change each device password for 200 or so devices. I have been looking and could not find anything in the documentation or this forum. I hope this may be an option in future releases.
Hi there,
I am running Cat Tools 3.3.17 and trying to backup all my device configs to one server.
I am having an issue with 2 HP switches - I receive a
Failed to connect to 172.x.x.x |
I am not too familiar with setting the device information - password, manager password etc. I have it for Direct connect via SSH2
Any help would be grateful!

Hello.
I have problem with mass expired password update in cattools database. I have about 1500 devices and different credentials in about 20% of them.
How to do mass password update only for specific user?
Only thing that comes to my mind is select by hand devices where is that user with expired pasword, but this is not elegant solution (in addition I have to do it every 30 days of password expiration).
I have a question, I have 2 Cisco WiSM (Cisco 6500 blade) that I am trying to use Cat tools to backup the config files on a regular schedule. I have run into the following error when trying to run the activity: "Did not receive expected response to command: configshow" and then Cat tools disconnects from the switch. I used telnet to issue the show running-config command and what I noticed is right after the show running-config command is issued the switch prompts with: "Press Enter to continue or <CTRL-Z> to abort" or "--More-- or (q)uit " and sits there until there is user intervension. How can I automate the CR to continue command so I can use Cattools to pull the configuration of these switches? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
