How can I back up a network device?

With the SolarWinds® Kiwi CatTools solution, you can easily schedule automated backups of your network device configuration from routers, switches, firewalls, etc., so you won’t get left high and dry if issues arise with your device configs. In the Kiwi CatTools intuitive GUI, you can choose what devices and how often you want to backup and avoid having to hastily rewrite a bunch of inline code if a problem with failed configuration change happens. Kiwi CatTools supports major manufacturers including Cisco, Juniper, Palo Alto, Brocade, Dell, Extreme Networks, HP, Synoptics, F5 Networks, and more.

How do I make configuration change management more effective?

Managing one-off config changes isn’t easy, not to mention the impact a minor issue can have on your network. With the Kiwi CatTools solution, you can simultaneously perform or schedule configuration changes across multiple network devices with great ease. Whether it’s an update for a banner, password, or specific config, you can leverage bulk configuration changes and apply configuration files through the built-in TFTP server to multiple devices at once.

How can I make sure I know about unauthorized config changes of network devices?

Changes to config files, outside of your knowledge, could be a sign of something insidious. With Kiwi CatTools, you can receive email alerts when unauthorized configuration changes occur on network devices. The tool will automatically compare previous configuration files and mark the differences and additions to a device configuration, keeping you informed of what changed.

How can I reduce my failure recovery time?

The ability to revert to configs in good standing could save your business from service interruptions and you from countless other headaches. Use Kiwi CatTools to maintain a complete configuration history and facilitate rollbacks to the last good configuration of your network devices to minimize downtime and speed up your equipment failure recovery time.

How do I compare two configuration files of a network device?

Whether it’s for troubleshooting or helping ensure the success of your work, the ability to compare configs between devices can make all the difference. Kiwi CatTools will compare selected configuration files by automatically highlighting differences and additions in configuration files. You can easily compare configurations between two devices and compare startup or running configurations.

What devices does Kiwi CatTools support?

You’ve invested time and money building your network to spec. The software you use should contribute to that vision, not work against it.

With Kiwi CatTools you get out-of-the-box support for both IPv4 and IPv6 devices from major vendors, such as Cisco, HP, Huawei, 3Com, Juniper, Palo Alto, Brocade, Dell, Extreme Networks, Synoptics, F5 Networks, and more.

How do I retrieve an ARP table for my router?

To properly manage configuration changes on your network, you should rely on data, not intuition. Kiwi CatTools offers various reporting activities to generate configuration and device information reports related to port info, MAC, ARP, version details, and many more.

To retrieve an ARP table of one or more network devices, you can use ARP report activity and get a text or HTML report, including information about the device name, IP address, MAC address, interface, hostname, etc.
