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.

Fortigate FortiOS MR3 Patch5: no more backups!

$

Hello everybody.

After upgrading my Fortigate units from MR3 Patch 3 to MR3 Patch 5, no more backups are being done from Kiwi Cat Tools.

I get the error "Failed to receive '#config' line in device config file"

Indeed, with older firmware releases, when you type "show" in the CLI, you get the first 3 or 4 (depending on the firmware version) "header lines", of which the first starts with #config-version...

I tried this with a super_admin user as well as with an "unprivileged" (my already existing and working "backup user")... both do not show those header lines.

Could it be that Fortinet removed that feature, so that the only way to do bulk backups is to buy and use a FortiManager?

Any help will be appreciated.

TIA,

F.

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:

Free CatTools vrs License CatTools

I can't find any comparative table for the free and license CatTools and  I want to know the features I win if I purchase the application.
Also I want to know what happens after the year of the license... I mean wich features I lost.

Thanks

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

Report version table script cant login to device when many devices selected

Hello Guys,

 

I created 2 Activities that are identical to each other, they run the Report Version Table script.

Activity A has 6 devices selected and Activity B has 120 devices selected.

 

When i run Activity B a few of the devices fail with the following error:

Failed to connect to 10.10.10.1. Reason: (30016) Invalid username or password reported by server, or bad private key.. Giving up after 3 connection attempts.

 

So i created activity A with the 6 devices that fail and when i run that all 6 of them work.

Both scripts can use Maximum available threads.

I set the log level to debug and above and checked the info log file.


having trouble copying the run config of a cisco 2960 cluster member, which is only accessible via the rcommand

$

i have 2 cisco 2960's that are connected to each other via cluster. Now the only way to reach the second switch is by executing the command "rcommand 1," from the first switch. Now when i run CatTools, it copies the running config of the first switch, because i am able to telnet to it. However, it does not copy the running-config of the second member in the cluster, because i have to execute  the command "rcommand1," in order to get inside the second switch. So i am stumped as to how to resolve this. Anyone have ideas? or run into the same problem?

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!

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

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.

How can I configure Cat Tools to connect to Dell SSH?

$
0
0

I am attempting to configure Cat Tools to backup some of our Dell PowerConnect 5548s running-configs over SSH, however I am running into problems when initiating the SSH session. Since the Dell SSH on the appliance is built on top of Telnet, it prompts for a useless field "Login as:" before asking for the local username and password. This first field has no effect on whether or not you can authenticate to the device.

I cannot find a way to put in a carriage return or line-feed command to make the session continue to the "Username: " prompt.

 

I apologize for my sentence structure on this post.

 

Cheers,

Stefan

It looks like when I'm trying to perform this backup, Kiwi is reporting a successful log in, but then failing when it tries to check the hostname.

Cisco 6248 device backups

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.
