Did not receive expected response to command: show running-config

$
0
0

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


Workaround for Netgear devices and device.backup.running.config

$
0
0

Anyone have either a custom activity, device or script that will allow Netgear devices to backup and pass a compare run while ignoring the commented out lines that start with '!'?

 

Netgear time stamps their configs so they always show as changed.  Back reading the forums I see that the variations function was due for Netgear devices at some point but it is not in the current version.

 

I've tried working with Generic devices but I'm getting errors with what looks like it trying to set VTY functions.

Cattols 3.10 to FortiOS 5.2.5 or 5.4 doesn´t work

$
0
0

Hi,

 

since we upgraded to FortiOS 5.2.5 or 5.4 Cattools gives us the error message "Failed to connect to XXX. Reason: No respone from remote host. Will try again."

If we connect to it with Putty we get a session.

 

Have debugged the SSH from FortiOS but no error messages is shown.

 

The debug in Cattools doesn´t give any errors either:

<NEWSESSION CatTools 3.10.0 2016-01-15 08:41:31>

<PROTOCOL=SSH2>

<DEVICE TYPE=Fortinet.FortiOS.General>

<ACTIVITY TYPE=Device.Backup.Running Config>

<ACTIVITY SCRIPT=D:\Program Files (x86)\CatTools3\Scripts\Client.Device.Backup.Running Config.txt>

<USERS NAME FOR DEVICE=nbo-osd2fw01>

<D 13:48:31>

<SCRIPT VALUES>

<HOSTNAME="">

<PROMPT VTY="">

<PROMPT ENABLE="">

<PROMPT CONFIG="">

 

We have tried all different SSH ciphers but with the same result. When we save the ciphers we can see that it sends it to the FortiOS and that it accept it.

 

Any ideas?

How can I configure Cat Tools to connect to Dell SSH?

$
0
0

I am attempting to configure Cat Tools to backup some of our Dell PowerConnect 5548s running-configs over SSH, however I am running into problems when initiating the SSH session. Since the Dell SSH on the appliance is built on top of Telnet, it prompts for a useless field "Login as:" before asking for the local username and password. This first field has no effect on whether or not you can authenticate to the device.

I cannot find a way to put in a carriage return or line-feed command to make the session continue to the "Username: " prompt.

 

I apologize for my sentence structure on this post.

 

Cheers,

Stefan

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.

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.

General HP Switch Setup Help

Good afternoon,

 

I just grabbed the latest version of Cattools (3.11) and I'm trying to setup a few devices but I'm having some trouble.

 

The first device is a HP4204v1 (J8770A) which states it failed to determine hostname - no CR or LF

 

The second is HP A5120-48G-POE

I step through both device connections through putty and tr to mirror the prompts as best I can through the variations but no success on either one.

 

Any help for a newbie is appreciated.

 

 

Thanks,

Script for HP/H3C Switches

Hi!

 

I'm trying to backup the config of our new HP (H3C) Switches (5120, 5800, 10500). The script I created out of the Custom.Template is not working. The prompt of the switches is "<SWITCHNAME>", not "SWITCHNAME>" as in Ciscos IOS. So the script returns the error "Did not receive expected prompt when entering Enable mode".

Has anybody managed to create a script that works with the HP H3C switches?

Can CatTools backup configs for Brocade switches?

I have used CatTools in the past to backup Cisco switch/router configs and I'd like to use it to backup Brocade ICX and FCX switch configs.  It looks likes the software supports "backup running config" but not "backup config TFTP".  I don't understand the differences between the two categories.  Can someone explain?

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

HP Comware 7 Switches

I have been using CatTools successfully with Cisco and HP Procurve switches for some time now, but I can't get the software to successfully talk to a new Comware switch. Looking at the debug logs it looks like it isn't coping with the default Comware prompt format e.g. <sysname> or [sysname] for user or system view respectively. Any idea what I need to do to get it to work?

 

Thanks

ps I have logged a call with SolarWinds but this is proving to be a soul destroying process. The case is flagged as not started after two days, I've left answer phone messages to no avail and listened to muzak for far too long.
