Hi Wendy, I have altered the script slightly to see if it will recognise the (global) $ prompt correctly. Backup your existing script first then copy the one attached into your scripts folder and try again. Please let me know how you get on and attach another debug log and the appropriate section of the infolog if you…

Hi Massahi, Have you tried the Juniper.Netscreen.Firewall device type? What was the result? The scripts can often be quite generic and so may work with other device types depending on how different the underlying OS's are.

What script are you using for the Juniper EX switches? You can not extend an existing activity and so would need to write it as a custom activity. www.kiwisyslog.com/.../act_creatingcustomactivity.htm

Hi, In the Device.CLI.Send Commands activity you can extend the time CatTools waits for a command using the %ctUM:Timeout meta command. www.kiwisyslog.com/.../act_metactumcommand.htm Setting this to a longer period than your tftp transfer time should resolve your issue.

There isn't a way to do this directly in CatTools. You may be able to do this using an external script called from a Device.CLI.Send Commands activity which replaces the ? with a chr$(22). www.kiwisyslog.com/.../act_devclisendcmd_runextscrpt.htm

Hi Todd, I believe you should be able to achieve your aim by using the session connection method in CatTools. Please see the help file page at the link below and let me know if this will resolve your issue; http://www.kiwisyslog.com/help/cattools/dev_connectingviaasession.htm Kind regards, Wardini

Hi Jimbo, I've had a look at the script and it seems that after login in it will try to go into either console or global mode, depending on the device, by issuing a 'config system console' command or a 'config global' command. It will then issue a 'set output standard' command. To generate the config it just sends a show…

You won't be able to do this with the inter-device ping. If you have some scripting knowledge it may be possible to do this yourself using the Device.CLI.Send Commands activity with an external script. www.kiwisyslog.com/.../act_devclisendcmd_runextscrpt.htm

Hi toosober, Respect to you for using the custom scripting. In CatTools you can create a device capture file when you run your script which will help you see what's happenning. A device capture file records the communication between CatTools and the device you are having trouble with. You can create a device capture file…

I think you may be posting in the wrong forum? This is the CatTools forum not NCM?

Hi, I think CatTools does most of this and on the option tab of the backup activity you can specify to send an e-mail only if the configs change. This will report all devices that have changed in a sortable table. Can I inquire as to why you would want this on an email per device basis? Kind regards, Wardini

Hi Nigel, In the devices pane if you select a device and click edit to bring up the device information panel then click the passwords tab you can enter username and password in the AAA username and AAA passwords fields. Tick the Initial login uses username/password box and this should work. (Even though it says AAA it will…

Right click in the Devices grid or on the grey area next to the buttons. In the pop up menu select columns and tick the columns you want to use. Or you can use the Filter button to select only certain devices. This can be quite powerful with a suitable naming convention. Regards, Wardini

Hi Emmanuel, You are pretty short on detail of the exact nature of your problem. Are you selecting the correct device type for your devices, ie. Cisco.Firewall.PIX, Cisco.Firewall.ASA, Cisco.VPN, Cisco.Wireless Lan? Can you create device capture files. 'File|Enable capture mode' in the CatTools menu and then run the…

Hi Ray, A colleague of mine worked on the APC script we have at present but we couldn't confirm that the SSH connection code worked and so it was left out. I have put it into the script attached for you to try. Backup your existing script first then copy this one into your scripts folder. Please let me know how you get on.…

Hi, What device is it and what CatTools device type have you selected? If you can create a device capture for me I will look into the file to see if I can spot the problem. A device capture file records the communication between CatTools and the device you are having trouble with. You can create a device capture file as…

Hi Daniel, On the options tab for the activity tick the use alternate command box and enter 'show run' or whatever command you want to use as the alternate command. Not this will apply to all devices specified for that activity so you may have to create a new activity for just your CATOS devices with the alternate command…

Hi nandu, Can you give me a little bit more information please on exactly what you are trying to do? Also; 1) What version of CatTools are you running? 2) Have you recently moved or upgraded CatTools? 3) Can you attach the relevant section of the infolog whhich can be found in the main CatTools folder.
