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


Create a custom device in CatTools

I am working off of the How to create a custom device document.  I save the Custom.device.template.ini to he /Devices folder and rename it to Custom.Ericsson.ATM.ini.  I htem change the name to Custom.Ericsson.ATM under the [device] field and id to 4999.  Under the [item_name] field i change default to Ericsson.ATM.  I then save the file.  Open up CatTools and try to add a new device.  Then name of Custom.Ericsson.ATM or Ericsson.ATM does not show up.  Is the document missing something as i  am fairly certain i performed the steps a per the document.

 

Thanks

Backup HP V1910 (Legacy 3Com 2928) switch

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 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?

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.

Device.Backup.Running Config not comparing files

$
0
0

I have been running CatTools 3.4 Free on an XP machine for some time and found it brilliant.

I've recently replaced this machine with a Win 7 x64 machine and installed CatTools 3.6 Free.  Everything is working correctly except for the compare running configs which tells me that there is no change even when there is.  This is occurring for several Cisco and Juniper models and they worked fine under 3.4 (which unfortunately I don't have anymore).

I dont' know if it's a cause or a result but the Dated Configs folder remains empty and does not have any history of the changed configs either.  The version of the running config in the Config directory is always correct (ie it updates correctly when the activity runs) it's just the comparison and Dated Config that fails (or never occurs).

Please help, this is exactly what I used CatTools for.  I've tried a fresh install and created new activities to no avail.

Thanks,
J

Backup running config for OpenBSD PF Firewall

Hello,

 

I've been trying to get Kiwi Cattools to download the PF config file from an OpenBSD system. I have managed to get Kiwi Cattools to login to the machine via ssh but then it throws this cryptic error to the log:

 

Login results = VTY: Failed, Enable: N/A, HostID: N/A

 

Just hoping someone can guide me in the right direction. The help files say that the debug mode will help troubleshoot the problem. I'm not sure what to look for in the log. This is the output I get when I try the test login command:

On the line that thats out '<C OK', that includes the login banner that the system gives so I know it's getting logged in. After login, the prompt is just a "#" and I also see that on that line twice towards the end. These are the variables I have set in the script file for that device:

 

Private Const DEVICE_STANDARDPROMPT = "#"

Private Const DEVICE_PRIVILEGEDPROMPT = "#"

Private Const DEVICE_CONFIGPROMPT = "#"

 

Is it having trouble picking up on the # prompt?

 

I appreciate any help. Thanks!


F5 BigIP cli backup fails

Try to backup an F5 using SSH cli.  The backups are failing with the error "Did not receive echo of modify modify cli preference page enabled display-threshold 0 command"

 

This is the variations file:

COMMAND_DISABLEPAGING = "modify cli preference pager disabled display-threshold 0"

COMMAND_RUNNINGCONFIG = "list"

 

I've tried disabling echo but get the same result.  The output of the config capture is below.  Almost like a carriage return is not being sent after the disable paging command.  Any help getting this working would be appreciated.

 

Syntax Error: invalid property value "display-threshold":"0list"

Product Roadmap for Orion NPM syslog server vs. Kiwi Syslog Server?

$
0
0

The announcement of Kiwi joining with SolarWinds seems like it could have a lot of benefit for existing users from both communities or it could make life miserable for existing users from both communities.

What are SolarWinds specific recommendations to their existing Orion NPM Syslog Server customers?  (keep using existing system, migrate to the Kiwi Syslog Server, wait until the Kiwi server is encorporated into Orion NPM in March 2009, Orion NPM syslog server will be removed and Orion Kiwi will become a new module to license, etc.)

What are SolarWinds specific recommendations to their existing Kiwi Syslog Server customers?  (keep using existing system, migrate to Orion NPM Syslog Server, wait until the stand-alone Kiwi server can be integrated into Orion NPM--then consider an upgrade in March 2009, Kiwi will be asisimalated into Orion NPM, etc.)

I've used both systems.  I believe the Kiwi system to be basically stronger, but without integration into Orion NPM, web portal, etc., it isn't a clean fit for most SolarWinds customers.  The existing Orion NPM Syslog Server has too small a capacity to handle enterprise volume data (10 syslog messages per second max is pretty limiting in an enterprise with a few hundred verbose devices, let alone thousands).

Some tentative product roadmap information along with tentative dates would go a long way to helping us understand the potential value of this new aquisition.

Looking forward to a good product roadmap.

Config Backups of Cisco Small Business SG200-50

Hi

 

Has anyone been able to get an automated backup of the 200 series small business switches. I noted that there seems to be scripts for the SG300 but not the SG200.

 

Is there a reason that the SG200's don't work with Cattools?

 

Thanks

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,

Aborting command entry due to command error

I have a problem with a device in configuration mode.

 

I try to apply 2 commands and one is applied ok, the 2nd one does not seem to work.

 

Here's the sequence:

Waiting for command prompt

Waiting for an echo of system-view command

Waiting for an echo of super command

Waiting for an echo of acl number 2003

[Then a 33 second pause]

Stopping Activity.

 

Here are the 2 commands

acl number 2003

rule 110 permit source 10.209.127.174 0

 

Here's what it looks like when I paste it into the device

[sysname-1]acl number 2003

Info: When the ACL that is referenced by SACL is modified, the SACL will be dynamically updated. During the update, these SACL will become invalid temporarily.

[sysname-1]rule 110 permit source 10.209.127.174 0

 

Thanks for your help


Problem with a Cat Tools 3.10 (Enterprise) activity - Cisco SF300 switch

$

Hello,

 

We use CatTools 3.10 (Enterprise) to modify the configuration or send commands remotely to our switches.

Everything works fine with our Cisco 2950, 2960, 3560, 3750...

 

But the issue we are currently facing is all about another kind of Cisco switch, the Cisco SmallBusiness SF300.

 

Since the 3.10 version supports Small Business switches, we can define it in the "Device Type" field of a Deivce, along with the "Model" (which is 300).

The rest of the configuration of the new device is the same as we used for the other Cisco switches (Method : SSH Port : 22, Connect via  : Direct Connect, etc...)

 

The activity is define as "Device.CLI.Modify.Config" and aim to change (S)NTP settings.

 

The connection to the SF300 switch is OK but then there is a problem when entering the "configure terminal" command (output info logs attached) :

"Waiting for an echo of conf t command

Waiting for a response to : conf t

Did not receive expected response to command : conf t

Commands resultts : 0 of 9, 1

Aborting command entry due to command error

Waiting for an echo of <Ctrl-Z> command

Exiting config mode

Did not receive echo of <Ctrl-Z> command"

 

I've already tried to define the activty as "Device.CLI.Send.commands" and to send a "conf t" as first command but the same problem happens.

TFTP backup failing on Cisco IOS switches

$

Hi,

 

I am using Kiwi cattools to backup the vLan.dat from several Cisco IOS switches. On about 50% of those switches, the backup fails. In the email I get I only see "Aborting command entry due to command error". As the switches are all configured more or less identically and I cannot find anything that would separate the failing switches from the successful switches (switch type, IOS version, location etc)  I wonder where I could start my troubleshooting.

The failing switches have one thing in common: they are all located overseas, but on the other hand I have one overseas switch giving me perfect output.

Any help is much appreciated!
