Backup Device Config for Vyatta

February 10, 2017, 10:43 am
$

We are looking to backup the configurations of a bunch of Vyatta type routers, same as we do for our Cisco routers.  We went plowing through the custom scripts and device documentation and aren't getting very far.  Since the Device.Backup.Running Config activity can backup different types of devices using different commands, it would appear that in the device would where the "show config" commands would be set up.  However, the Custom.Device.Template.txt.custom "script" has a lot more info that we are looking for and then it appears you have to bind together a main and client activity to the custom device?  We are just looking to have something exactly the same as Device.Backup.Running Config activity that will issue a "show configuration commands" for Vyatta instead of "show running-config" for Cisco.  We don't want to learn a new language to write scripts with and if we did, we wouldn't be paying over $200 per year for maintenance as we would then be writing our own software.

 

Is there a simple way to modify the backup running config activity to be able to work with Vyatta routers?

 

Thanks much

I am running CatTools 3.9 and am trying to backup the config from a Brocade switch. When I run the Device.Backup.Running.Config script I receive the error "Did not Receive command prompt after connecting via SSH"

I have searched the forums and the CatTools pdf but have been unable to locate an answer for this problem.

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.

CISCO WLC 5508 Transfer Upload Start

Whenever i try to run a Device.Backup.TFTP on any of my 5508 wireless LAN controllers i get the following error 'Did not receive expected response to command: transfer upload start' I suspect that this issue is caused by a timeout, as whenever i run this task manually it takes around 2 minutes to complete the TFTP transfer. To overcome this i used the following alternative list of commands:

config paging disable

transfer upload mode tftp

transfer upload datatype config

transfer upload serverip *.*.*.*

transfer upload path /

transfer upload filename %ctDeviceName.txt

%ctUM: Timeout 150

transfer upload start

 

These settings remove the error although cause another problem - it stops cattools from comparing the newly transferred file and the existing file on the disk. The ending result leaves the newly transferred file sitting in the TFTP directory. Does anyone know how to fix this?

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 failed to connect via SSH to windows server

Hi,

I don't want to spam this forum, but I've spent 5days with troubleshooting without success and I didn't find any related issues on this server.

I tried to make access to windows server via SSH as I found here. But I failed every time with "Failed to determine hostname - no CR or LF".
On windows server is used bitwise winsshd with cisco style command prompt "hostname>" (as described in telnet settings).
I saw successful login on server but due to unknown reason (for me :P ) it finished with error mentioned above.
Captured file is attached.

Thanks a lot in advance

Tom

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?

Web access

I am having a hard time understanding how i would effectively use this in my environment, based on the limitations of cassini and sql ce.  I am currently processing about 1gb of syslog traffic per *day* and am having issues with severe web access slowness and a size limitation of sql ce. 

I would have expected much more from solarwinds in regard to this product, is this only intended for small companies?, i would really like to see some improvements made in regard to the underlying architecture -

If i already have sql2008 ent. and i'm putting the syslog data there, just pull the data from there for the web access (this is how most data driven web apps work), if i am also already running IIS, just install the web access site there as well.  The user should only have to use sql ce and cassini if they *do not* have any other infrastructure to support the install.

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:

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,

Hi there,

 

we have a problem with this setup ->

 

<NEWSESSION CatTools 3.10.0 23.10.2015 15:41:59>

<PROTOCOL=SSH2>

<DEVICE TYPE=IronPort.Security.General>

<ACTIVITY TYPE=Device.Backup.Running Config>

 

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?

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?

All commands can be displayed and executed. Continue? [Y/N]y

 

Please input password:******

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,

Licensing error

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.
