Supported Devices

There are two basic ways the device support in SolarWinds^® Kiwi CatTools^® works:

General scripts

Kiwi CatTools provides general scripts the majority of network devices will work with and allows you to perform common activities such as running config backups, password updates, banner updates, connectivity login tests, and more. If the device requires script customization to work properly, you can easily adjust it through the script variation Kiwi CatTools allows.

Custom scripts

For devices of various manufacturers requiring specific script syntax, Kiwi CatTools provides custom scripts for the proper execution of activities offered by the tool. Kiwi CatTools supports a wide range of different manufacturer and model devices and works with the most common and up-to-date CLI syntax. Here’s a list of manufacturers Kiwi CatTools supports devices from:

To learn about activities supported on a particular device type with custom scripts, please refer to the device matrix.

If your device isn’t included on the list of Kiwi CatTools supported device types and isn’t covered by one of the Kiwi CatTools generic scripts, don't worry. Support for additional device types is added to SolarWinds Kiwi CatTools regularly and you can also request support for your device type.
