Reason (30012) Protocol version mismatch error.. Giving up after 3 connection attempts"
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

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

HP GbE2c running iscli hangs with Enable password set
Hi,
Has anyone configured HPGbE2c switches for blade enclosures on Cattools? We have a lot of blade switches here and I have upgraded FW on switches to virtually the latest version (5.1.2). I was able to get configs off a couple of switches by switching to ISCLI mode (virtually IOS). As soon as I put an enable password on, the back up fails as the switch seems to need an extra Carriage Return between telnet login and enable login. I used Cisco switch IOS and Cisco Other for my device and model type respectively; although I have since tried others and they too have failed. Any help, suggestions, greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
John

Did any get Cattools 3.11 working with SonicWALL backups?
I have handful of SonicWALLs in field I need to do scheduled backup. However from what I can tell, the Cattools 3.11 still can not backup SonicWALL properly. Versions of the running SonicOS are 5.9 and newer.
Maybe it was my configuration issue...Here below are some screenshots.
Other tabs are defaults and I did not use Variants if that matters.
Thanks,

activities with ssh conection issues
Hi,
I'm using Cattools 3.9 over Windows 2008 R2.
Problem is that all activities get stuck in the same point: after SSH fingerprint debug message (see attachment). Telnet is working fine.
SSH client is working fine because if i use Telnet/SSH to device it opens ssh client (putty), and i cant connect to the device without problem.
I had cattools 3.6 over windows 2003 and this were working fine. I have tried even exporting devices and activities and doesn't work either.
Thank you in advance

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

Backup HP V1910 (Legacy 3Com 2928) switch
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

Password update in cattools database for specific user.
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).

Ubiquiti Device.ConnectivityTest.Login connection refused by remote host
I am currently trying to set up KiwiCatTools to take a Device.Backup.Running Config of my current Microwave Links which are NanoBridge M5, I have CatTools working for Dell /Cisco and HP Switches.
Following the advice in this discussion Re: Automate backup of config from Ubiquiti NanoBridge M5 (DD-WRT) , I set the devices as Linux.RedHat.Bash and have double checked all usernames and passwords are correct and have also added the prompt fields that appear when using SSH to access the links.
Can ping all devices from CatTools but Device.ConnectivityTest.Login always fails.
Firmware on nanobridges is XM.v5.6.7.
Cattools 3.11 (enterprise)
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Fortinet Fortigate Backups via TFTP
Hi
I have managed to get a full back of a Fortigate firewall working using TFTP and I thought I would share how I did it with the community.
We have a pair of Fortigates 3600C and we run multiple VDOMs on these, this meant the default script withing Cattools didn't work for us. We also require a keystroke before logging in as well. All this meant I had to use a combination of variations and also the TFTP backup method.
Variations configuration
- Add your devices using the "Generic.Device" type, this will allow you to use "Variations"
- Give them a group name - it is well worth using the same group name for all Fortinets as this will allow you to apply the same variations to all devices within that "Group"
- Fill in the rest of the device info and passwords as you would do normally
- Go to the "variations" tab and click "use variations"
- Go to the "prompts" tab and fill in the information as shown in the "qoutes":-
DEVICE_USERNAMEPROMPT = "login as:"
DEVICE_PASSWORDPROMPT = "password:"
DEVICE_STANDARDPROMPT = "#"
DEVICE_PRIVILEGEDPROMPT = "#"
DEVICE_CONFIGPROMPT = "(global) #"
- Go to the "additional commands" tab and fill in the information as shown in the "qoutes":-
COMMAND_ENTERCONFIG = "configure global"
COMMAND_EXITCONFIG = "end"
- Go to the "pre/post login" tab and fill in the information as shown in the "qoutes":-
- NOTE: you may not need to do this if you aren't asking for a pre login key stroke.
PRE_LOGIN_MESSAGE = "(Press 'a' to accept):"
PRE_LOGIN_KEYSTROKE = "a"
- Then click on the "group save" button as this will then save the changes to the group you specified. This will allow you to add more devices to this group and it will pre-populate the variations for you. This saves a lot of work in the future.
TFTP activity configuration
- Go to activities and click add
- Set Type to "Device.Backup.TFTP"
- Fill in name and description
- Set schedule under the time tab
- Add your devices
- Go to "Options" tab
- Untick the "file to write to tftp server"
- Untick the "enter commands in enable mode"
- In the "optional alternative list of commands" section input the following:-
%ctUM: Timeout 100
%ctUM: EchoOff
config global
%ctUM: EchoOff
execute backup config tftp %ctDeviceName-Running-Config <input your IP Address>
%ctUM: EchoOff
- If your not using the default file locations don't forget to change them, I got caught out on this. Mine look like:-
F:\CatTools2\Configs\%GroupName%\Config.Current.Running.%BaseFile%.txt
F:\CatTools2\Configs\Archives\%GroupName%\Config.Dated.Running.%BaseFile%.%DateISO%-%TimeHHMM%.txt
- Click ok to save
Now run the activity to check it all works. What you will find is there is about a 5 minute delay where it shows as a busy task. Be patient as it will finish. I would recommend running this task outside of any other backups as it does take a bit longer than others.
Hope this helps others getting this working.
EDIT
I have updated this to change from using the command "execute backup full-config" to use "execute backup config". This is because we had an issue recently where we were unable to restore the backup taking using the "execute backup full-config" command.
Fortinet recommend using the "execute backup config" command as this just restores the configuration that has been changed.
I have now tested this on our lab device and I was able to restore the configuration successfully.
Cheers

Cattols 3.10 to FortiOS 5.2.5 or 5.4 doesn´t work
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?

TFTP error backing up IOS images
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.

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?
Regards, lls71

Backup of Cisco SF-300 ( small bussiness switch )
We´re not able to backup the config of those SF-300 switches, it is always ends up with error message "did not received command prompt after connecting via SSH" , probably because it´s not an IOS based switch. Do you have any idea how to backup those dump switches?

Cisco 6248 device backups
Has anyone been able to create a device template to properly backup a Cisco UCS 6200 series fabric interconnect with CatTools? There seems to be some threads about using NCM, but not for CatTools.
I was wanting to look at how the "Cisco.MDS.Fibre" script is done, but alas - these are encrypted, and I cant see anything useful.

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.
