Cattols 3.10 to FortiOS 5.2.5 or 5.4 doesn´t work

January 14, 2016, 11:47 pm

≫ Next: Invalid username or password - HP 6120 XG

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:

<PROTOCOL=SSH2>

<HOSTNAME="">

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?

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.

Hi my friends,

I am running Cattools version 3.6.0, now I am trying to backup the running configuration a HP Procurve 2530 switch. I have tried to enter some combinations of values under the "Passwords" and "Prompts" tab, but always prompted error messages. Can someone show me what value should I set under "Passwords" and "Prompts" tabs? Below I will show you how I telnet to this switch via command prompt. Thanks in advance!

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

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

i've been looking all morning for a good way to backup my two WLCs using cat tools. I've never dug into how to use cattools more than just basic devcie config backups on my switches, routers, etc. on the Cisco WLC5508 i have found a few scripts but have no idea how to access them. The script i found looks like this,

<Configuration-Management Device="Cisco 5508 WLC" SystemOID=" 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.1069">

</Commands>

</Configuration-Management>

i've walked through the script in the ssh cli and verified it'll work, but i'm confused about how to run this script via cattools. or if theres a better way. i tried the device.backup.tftp using cisco.wireless.lan and that fails.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, We have just installed some extreme switches and currently

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.

Hi guys,

When I try and run cattools I get this error: "you have too many copies of this program already running on your system or network. you are licensed for only 1 copy/copies at a time"

The strange thing is, I have no other copies of cattools running anywhere, there are no other users on thsi server, and this server has no internet access and is behind a firewall which blocks comms between servers. So even if there was another copy running it wouldn't be able to see it.

The error is persistent. We did recently migrate onto a new server, which i suspect is where it has corrupted the software. We uninstalled and reinstalled v3.5 and immediately the same error came up. It doesn't even give me the option to input a new license key.

This is really annoying and we are out of maintenance support. Are there some logs I can see that will tell me where cattools thinks it can see another copy running.
