I've been able to use Kiwi Cat Tools to backup nearly all of our Cisco devices successfully. However, our Nexus 7k's do not seem to be working with Cat Tools. We use radius authentication and ssh to access our 7k's but cat tools seems to stall after the ssh log-in. I've tried every combination of AAA username and password as well as ssh username and password, but no matter what it just seems to stall at the ssh fingerprint portion of the device backup. Anyone have any ideas as to what I am doing wrong or have another way to backup the configs for the 7k using Kiwi Cat Tools?

ASA backup issue
Hello,
I am trying to backup an ASA config using Device.Backup.TFTP and when I run it I receive this error:
Device Type: Cisco.Firewall.ASA has not yet had this functionality added. Skipping this device.
I was wondering if anyone knew what would be causing this error? My guess is that something needs to be added to the Cisco.Firewall.ASA script to give it functionality (please correct me if I am wrong) and then it should start working. If this is correct, can someone please guide me through the process of getting this started.
Thank you,
Johnathan

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

get config command stops at --- more --- paging prompt
Hey guys,
we have the following problem when running Kiwi Cat tool's Device.Backup.Running Config with the command "get conf" on a Juniper Netscreen Firewall:
It always stops at the end of a page infront of the paging prompt "--- more ---"

Does someone have an idea what could be the problem? It should run, actually, as we have other netscreen firewalls that work fine with the command get conf.
Config:
- Kiwi CatTools 3.3.17 Enterprise (Device.Backup Running Config)
- OS: Windows Server 2003
- Device: Firewall NetScreen SSG5.
I'll highly appreciate getting your quick feedback for resolving this problem.
Thank you in advance,

Scheduling timer not starting on restart
Hi,
I am having trouble get the activity scheduling time to start on machine boot.
I have Cattools running as a service and that starts fine if the machine is rebooted.
However the scheduling timer doesn't start even though I have checked the appropriate box on the "misc" tab ( "Option" and "setup") so I am having to start it manually everytime.
Anybody got any thoughts on the matter?
Thanks

Error while unpacking program, code LP5. Please report to author.
Kiwi Cattools is stopping after trying to execute it. Error windows pops up with message: "Error while unpacking program, code LP5. Please report to author."
Tried to unistall and reinstall the product (Kiwi CatTools 3.4.0) without success. CatTools has been running since years without any problems, until now. Probably some other recently (automatic) installed application or service is the cause, but I am not able to identify; I have installed nothing new for the last weeks.
Any help or advise is appreciated... thanks

Connect Failed (errors)
I have some connection problems with some of my devices in my network. I have about 50 Riverbed 250L cashe boxes that I routinely back up each night with a kiwi script.
Lately I have been getting errors such as:
Connect failed:(30044) No available encryption algorithms match with the server.
I am sure I have my encryption set up right, as I have only about a 15% failure and they are all set up the same.
Any suggestion I could check into?

Backup Config of Checkpoint Gateway
Hi Thwack community,
this is my first discussion
We are having some troubles with "Checkpoint Security Gateway" Devices. Because there is no suitable Device-Template for those devices i used the Generic.Device combined with a Device Variation to backup the Running Configuration.
Device Details: Check Point Security Gateway using Gaia R77.20 as OS, Kiwi Cattools 3.6.0
I always try to copy the manual steps i would do via putty/SSH to cattools. Those manual steps would be:
- login via ssh
- "lock database override" //get prev. rights
- "show configuration" //running config gets printed to stdout with paging (-- More --) -> as fas as i know there is no ter len 0/ no paging command
- quit or exit
Somehow cattools is having some problems with those steps :/
It isn´t getting input from the "show configuration" command which should print to stdout "Did not receive echo of show configuration command".
I attached you the log-info File and the Device variations so you could get a look into the changes i made.
Has anyone ever had similar problems (and a solution to it)? Especially with Checkpoint Devices?
Best regards,
Max

Getting VLAN Inventory using CatTools
We have several thousand Cisco 871's deployed and we are tring to make the VLAN configs uniform. My question is whether it' possible to run a script that inventories the VLAN's running on each router and compiles that information into one file? Actually if I could run a script that just told me which ones had more then four VLAN's that would be even better

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

Issue backing up Nexus 5000
Hi all,
I'm implementing Cattools for a client to show the value in it (so they'll buy it).
I can't get it to log into their Nexus 5010 switches (2).
No matter what i do, the authentication ALWAYS fails, however i can log into the switches using putty with the same cred's.
Any ideas? Here are some debug's:

Telnet Username
Hi ,
I am trying to use Cattools to back up some Cisco Switches and Routers.
The problem I am having is that the devices are set up for login local and therefore require a Username and a password. I can't seem to find anywhere in the device setup to add the username and when I run the backup job I get
"Specified Username is invaid for device (prompt: Username:)"
This is the same with both the Cisco.Router.General and the Cisco.Switch.IOS types.
Help please !

Cattools failing (Username failed - will retry) :: Nexus 5548 switch
Hello,
I have been hooking up Cattools with all our routers, switches, load balancers, etc. No issues with our Nexus 7010's, Cisco Nexus MDS 9148's and regular catalyst switches and IOS based routers. The one that is kicking me in the bxxl's is the Nexus 5548 switch. Like the 7010's and the 9148's, I am setting this up accordingly:
CATTOOLS VER: 3.9.1
Connect via: Direct Connect
Method: SSH2
Port:22
SSH Username: correct one
SSH Password: correct one
The end result is the following: ca
Login to xxxxxxx failed
Username failed - will retry
FROM NEXUS 5548 LOG:
2013 Jul 16 17:49:14 DEVICE NAME %DAEMON-3-SYSTEM_MSG: error: PAM: Authentication failure for USERNAME from X.X.X.X - sshd[2061]
Any advice would be great. Putty connects from the Cattools servers just fine with identical credentials.

"Start Timer" button runs all activities, even unchecked ones. Why and what to do?
I have two activities, one is scheduled to run at 16:00, another has no schedule, Reocurring field says "Never", all other fields are unchecked or empty.
I need the second task to run manually.
According CatTools manual about running a scheduled Activity:
· Click the "Activities" tab.
· Check (tick) all the Activities you would like to schedule.
· Press the "Start timer" button.
· CatTools will enter into "Active Timer Mode" and run the activities at the scheduled intervals and/or times.
Ooook, so I check the first task, uncheck the second (manual) task, press "Start Timer" button - and both tasks are seen as being on timer, meaning I can't edit neither of them, I can't run them manually, they are kinda "locked" until I press "Stop Timer"
While I understand why the scheduled one is locked, I absolutely have no clue why the unchecked activity which has no schedule at all is a subject of "Start Timer" action. It contradicts the logic and your manual.
Every time I need to start my manual activity - I have to stop all scheduled activities, run unscheduled one, then restart scheduled ones. That`s kinda strange.
Is there any way I can change this?

Cisco IronPort C170 AsyncOS 9.1.0 config backup
Hi there,
we have a problem with this setup ->

<PROTOCOL=SSH2>
<DEVICE TYPE=IronPort.Security.General>

This is what gets backed up ->
Choose the password option:
1. Mask passwords (Files with masked passwords cannot be loaded using
loadconfig command)
2. Encrypt passwords
3. Plain passwords
[1
Now my question. How can I get the tools to choose option 2 and include the output in my backup?
