Backup Extreme Summit switches using TFTP commands

$
0
0

Hi, We have just installed some extreme switches and currently
it is backing up using model X450-24X running the show configuration command.

We are wanting to run the following below command and wondered whether this
would be possible if we had a variations file and running a TFTP server on
server where cat tools is installed.

 

tftp put x.x.x.x vr "VR-Default"primary.cfg **Saved file name***.cfg

 

The above command makes it easier to restore configs if we were to have issues.

 

We tried running Device.Backup.TFTP activity but it currently only supports Cisco Devices.

 

 

Thanks


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?

Backup APC SmartUPS Network Management Card Config

Hi!

Is there a chance that CatTools could retrieve the config.ini of a APC SmartUPS AP9617/AP9630 Network Management Card using FTP? It would be great if someone of the development team could have a look at it.

Here's a "capture" of a FTP session:

ftp> open 10.0.0.1
Connected to 10.0.0.1.
220 AP9617 Network Management Card AOS v3.7.3 FTP server ready.

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?

Fortinet backup to tftp: not able to overwrite existing file

$

0

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,

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

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.

Arris E6000 CMTS compare

Hi Guys,

 

Newby Cattools user here, well I've used the free version many years ago now, but I now got the registared version :-)

 

Anyway I've managed to get Cattools to grab and compare configs for 3 Cisco Devices and Motorola CMTS, and i've even got it to grab and compare for my lab Arris E6000 CMTS (by using the Motorola CMTS script.

 

But every time the schedule runs the program detects changes in the E6000 config: -

 

show running-config show running-config 1
2 # ChassisType=<E6000> shelfName=<Arris CER CMTS> shelfSwVersion=<CER_V01.01.00.0135> timeGenerated=<Fri Aug 15 12:10:21 2014> # ChassisType=<E6000> shelfName=<Arris CER CMTS> shelfSwVersion=<CER_V01.01.00.0135> timeGenerated=<Fri Aug 15 12:16:25 2014>2
3 configure configure3
4 banner login banner login

 

How can I stop this? it's config line 2 "# ChassisType=<E6000> shelfName=<Arris CER CMTS> shelfSwVersion=<CER_V01.01.00.0135> timeGenerated=<Fri Aug 15 12:10:21 2014>" and the timeGenerated part that is causing the compare error.

 

Do I need a new script for this device?

 

BTW Arris now own the Motorola CMTS product range.

 

Best regards

Steve.

If so, would it be possible to share the configuration that was used.

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

Hi All,

I see that CatTools can backup Fortigate OS devices.  I have 10 or so Fortigate Firewalls which I'd like to backup.  But before I set this up I was trying to find out what commands CatTools issues to get the configuration just to check I'm not going to do any damage to my devices as they are hunreds of miles away from me.  I'm running ver 3.2.19.  Anyone have any idea or can point me in the right dorection to find out.

 

Thanks

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.

Hi,

 

I'm setting up backup for a Cisco 3850x switch. Cattool responded "Failed

Giving up after 3 connection attempts.

 

Would you know what's the exact issue here?

 

 

 

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.

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:
