Hi there,
I am running Cat Tools 3.3.17 and trying to backup all my device configs to one server.
I am having an issue with 2 HP switches - I receive a
Failed to connect to 172.x.x.x |
I am not too familiar with setting the device information - password, manager password etc. I have it for Direct connect via SSH2
Any help would be grateful!

Hello,
We have an HP Procurve J4903A Switch 2824 and it is integrated with RADIUS Server for authentication.
We are using Cat Tools 3.4 demo version and tried to configure the switch for configuraton backup using Method SSH2.
And using Device.Backup.Running Config Type and SSH Username/Password are supplied. When Run the backup it shows the errors:
"Did not receive expected prompt when entering enable mode", and "Aborting: Unable to enter enable mode".
Do anybody faced this issue with SSH? Please help me to solve this problem.

Achu
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

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
Nigel
Hi there,
I'd like an example of a Kiwi cattools activity script to make a UCS backup of a F5 device.

Is it possible to run Show Tech on CatOS device via CatTools?, are there any issues? Buffer issues, as we know that when run normally on our core catos swicthes it has caused numerous errors even outside normal working hours..
any advice greatly appreciated.
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
We have an HP 5800 and Cat Tools is displaying: Did not receive expected response to command: display current-configuration. I suspect it is related to the ---- More ---- prompt that it gives, but am not sure.
Does anyone have an idea on how to resolve?
Thanks in advance!
I have cat tools installed on physical box 2003 server sp2, and I would like to migrate it to new windows server 2003 sp2 VM.

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,
<!-- edited with Notepad by Jake and Greg for SSH commands and TFTP transfer -->
<!--SolarWinds Network Management Tools-->
<!--Copyright 2005 SolarWinds.Net All rights reserved-->
<Configuration-Management Device="Cisco 5508 WLC" SystemOID=" 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.1069">
<Commands>
<Command Name="RESET" Value=""/>
<Command Name="PreCommand" Value=""/>
<Command Name="Version" Value="config${CRLF}paging disable${CRLF}exit${CRLF}show sysinfo${CRLF}"/>
<Command Name="DownloadConfig" Value="show run-config commands"/>
<Command Name="DownloadConfigIndirect" Value="config${CRLF}paging disable${CRLF}exit${CRLF}transfer upload mode ${TransferProtocol}${CRLF}transfer upload serverip ${StorageAddress}${CRLF}transfer upload path /${CRLF}transfer upload filename ${StorageFilename}${CRLF}transfer upload datatype config${CRLF}transfer upload start${CRLF}y"/>
</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.
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.

I've just installed the trial version to test it out. I've added a Cisco Catalyst 4506 - E cabinet and set an activity to backup regularly the runningconfig. But, when I run it, I get the error message: "did not receive VTY entry prompt from CAT OS".
Please help,

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?

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'm setting up backup for a Cisco 3850x switch. Cattool responded "Failed
to connect to 192.168.10.10. Reason: (30012) Protocol version mismatch error..
Giving up after 3 connection attempts.
Would you know what's the exact issue here?
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!
How do you config cattools to backup juniper srx?
