Hello,

i'm trying to backup my Enterasys Securestack B5 switch with CatTools 3.11 but it fails. It gets stuck as you can see in the debug below :

The Report result :

It seems the backup script doesn't know what to do with the show config all.

I did a "show config all" manually from my switch and i didn't get as much informations than in the debug file. There is way less informations.

The Device type is spot on, Enterasys Securestack B5 :

Can you help me get past this error ?

thanks in advance.

  • You will want to will want to click on the Variations tab, and then the Use Variations button.  Click the Prompts tab, and select Paging prompt option, like in this screenshot:

    CatTools.PNG

  • Also, it looks like CatTools is looking for switch-nsi-03(su)-->, but the actual prompt is switch-nsi-03(su)->.

  • I did as you suggested, to no avail, the script gets stuck again.

    I tried send command "show config all" from the CLI interface of the switch. It doesn't ask for --more-- or anything else. It straight displays all the configuration.

    Changing Promt doesn't work neither :

    I tried changing prompt here :

    pastedImage_0.png

    No succes

    and there :

    pastedImage_1.png

    No better.

    Any other idea ?

  • You can try "switch-nsi-03(su)->" for the prompt name.

  • Allright, i finaly solved my problem, here is how.

    As you said Blyke the script was expecting switch-nsi-03(su)--> prompt but the right prompt was switch-nsi-03(su)->

    In variations > Full Prompts tab of the device, i did as below :

    pastedImage_0.png

    The result is :

    <W-14:35:13>[13]

    <R-14:35:14>[13][10]switch-nsi-03(su)->

    <W-14:35:14>exit[13]

    <D 14:35:14>

    <SCRIPT VALUES>

    <HOSTNAME="switch-nsi-03(su)">

    <PROMPT VTY="switch-nsi-03(su)->">

    <PROMPT ENABLE="switch-nsi-03(su)->">

    <PROMPT CONFIG="switch-nsi-03(su)->">

    Thanks for your help.
