Backing up F5 BIGIP UCS archive
Does anybody know if there is a way to backup the UCS archive on the BIGIP's, I think the current template in CatTools only backs up the config file. You really need the UCS archive to be able to restore devices properly.
Many thanks

Cattools Freeware is unable to connect to SMTP server
Hi,
I'm currently evaluating Kiwi Cattools using the freeware edition.
I want to test SMTP email alert so I configured my SMTP server/port and email address.
However, if I try to send a test email, it tells me
"Mail error: Unable to connect to XXXXX:"
On the same PC, I can send an email through SMTP with Outlook. Even if I monitor the network traffic, I can't see anything happening on port 25.
What should I check? Is the freeware edition supposed to be able to send SMTP email?
Thanks a lot!

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

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?

Port Security settings
Can CatTools be used to provide a daily email of multiple switches only if they either have ports without port-security or don't have the proper number of MAC's assigned? For example, on a Cisco switch we use port security however some ports may have had it turned off for some reason.
Another possibility is a computer/user is moved from one office to another. If port security is on then the MAC will be recognized as being on another port so will err-disable the new location. A tech either uses the third party switch management program or even logs into the switch and does a "no" on the line for the old port resulting in leaving that port open to a rouge device.
I have been asked by our examiner/audit to get a email report that we can use to correct this on a daily basis. I have CatTools doing a backup of all configurations nightly so I do have text files however I can't find a program/script that can look and alert on lines that should be there but are not.
Please feel free to ask questions if this isn't clear or more information is needed.
Thank you

Problems Logging into HP Procurve switches running version 10.74 code.
When i use cattools to access my HP Procurve 2626 and 2650 Swiches, I get failures being caused by a inital login line that is not accounted for in the Cattools configuration. When you log into the switches you get a splash screen that says press any key to continue and then you get the login screen. HOw can I create a script to enter a character and wait so that Cattools can login correctly? I ahve been told the splash screen can not be disabled. So when telnetting to the switch the 1st screen is not the username prompt.

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
Jay

Change Delimiter in Banner Activity
I'm having problems with the delimiter being used in the Device.Update.Banner activity, from logs I see that it uses " ` " as the character (apostrophe). Some of my Cisco devices have a problem with that character as the delimiter and return a Syntax Error. I've been poking around to find a way to change the value to " $ " instead, I've used this in the past and have never come across an issue. Does anyone have an Idea as to how I can change what is being used for the delimiter?

Automate backup of config from Ubiquiti NanoBridge M5 (DD-WRT)
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...

Kiwi CatTools Failed to enter enable mode for Cisco FWSM and ASA
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!

Could you please let me know if I have wrongly configured this or having this error due to any other reason.

Device.Backup.Running Config fails on WRT54GL v1.1
Hardware: Cisco WRT54GL v1.1 with DD-WRT firmware dd-wrt.v24_std_generic.bin. SNMP enabled on the router and I can successfully telnet into the router using PuTTY.
CatTools Device Information:
Device Type: Cisco.Router.General
Group: Default
Name: Cisco Router 1
Host Address: 192.168.1.1
File Name: Cisco_Router_1
Model: Other
Connect via: Direct connect
Method: Telnet
Port: 23
Problem: I need away to control a variety of routers (the WRT54GL is one of them) in a lab environment changing their SSID, encryption scheme et al. Solarwinds Kiwi CatTools was recommended as a potential solution. The notion being control the router via CLI commands or a series of custom configurations. When evaluating the product I tried performing the Device.Backup.Running Config operation. I continually get the error "Failed to receive 'Current configuration' line in device config file". I reveice the same error when running Device.Backup.TFTP
I am a bit new to this. Is there something obvious I've missed?
Below is a copy of my last InfoLog.txt. Please advise.

TFTP server backup config.txt for Cisco 2960s
Hi,
I'm new to using CAT tools Enterprise v. 3.7. I have a Cisco 2960S switch that I need to backup the config on it via TFTP. Curious, if I run the script "Device.Backup.RunningConfig", will it cause any interruption to service on the switch? Also, once the config is backed up, how do I take that config and copy to another switch?

From command prompt, I key in telnet 10.x.x.x, then press enter, then I see below page
I key in manager, and press enter, then I am prompted to enter password.
I enter password, and then press enter, I successfully enter privilege mode
