[Users] Cisco CatOS

Hey there,

This appears to just be a timeout issue where we are trying to pull the config via 'show config' and it's taking longer than the default timeout. Try this ... drop into your ziptie-server install directory and then hop over into ./adapters/ziptie.adapters.cisco.catos_2008.4.0.v200804291807/scripts/ZipTie/Adapters/Cisco/CatOS. In this directory will be a perl module named 'GetConfig.pm', open it up with a text editor. Locate the _get_config_cli subroutine, and within it, locate this line

$response = $cli_protocol->send_and_wait_for( $command, $enable_prompt );

... which is line# 79 in an unmodified version of this file. Change that line to add a timeout of 2 minutes passed as a parameter to 'send_and_wait_for', so the new line will look like this:

$response = $cli_protocol->send_and_wait_for( $command, $enable_prompt, 120 );

Save the file and close it, then try your backup again.

-Z

Ok well I didn’t do it right the first time so ignore my newness at this ;)

So I figured out what I did wrong the first time, and now the output is HUGE, as I can see the config of the device scrolling by on the screen.  So it looks like it is mostly working … here are the last few lines.

Hopefully I did this correctly.

James,

I suggest you download a copy of AdapterTool and run it against the device(s) you are experiencing the problem with. Paste the output to the list, and we can work on it.

Thanks,
John (nebj00la)

I am having difficulties getting my CatOS switches into ZipTie.  When I try to back them up the backup runs and then looks like it completes but it is not backing them up.  I ma not getting any errors, it just doesn’t work.  When I change the type to IOS, it fails which is to be expected but I did that to confirm communication.  Is there a debug that I can run while attempting a backup to see where it is failing?
