Cisco :: Prime LMS 4.2.2 - Change Device Ip Address
Jan 15, 2013
is there anyway to change the IP address of a device without data lost? I saw an option in to change it in Inventory > Device Administration: Add / Import / Manage Devices > Edit identity but from what I read I can get a data lose,
I install cisco prime lms 4.1 on server VMware on windows, initialy install whit IP 10.100.101.26 but I need change IP address of this server, when I change IP address on server I can't access to web administrator.
We need doing previous change on application afther change IP address ??? or I need reinstall whit new IP address
we just replace 6500 with N7K, after migration there're some device (server,pc,printer) change its ip address configuration (subnet and gateway) by it self. can N7K did it?
I am using CISCO PRIME LMS 4.1 for manage my network, i ran a device discovery job using a ping sweep on the ip ranges of my network, ie 192.168.1.0/24, 192.168.2.0/24 and so on... the discovery found all my devices, but it discovered duplicate devices with illegal ip Addresses, i.e.,
ip device 192.168.1.255 S1 192.168.2.0 S1 192.168.2.1 S1 (the real address)
all in reachable status.
I don't understand why the program adds that repeated illegal addresses.. How can I run the device discovery to avoid this problem?
We are currently running Cisco prime 4.1 and want to make sure there is a backup of the configurations from our switches and routers. The VLANconfig is not collected according to the devicestatus dashboard. i am aware there were a known issue with LMS running on a virtual server and vlan not being able to be collected, is this issue resolved? i have tried the various workarounds with TAC support and it hasnt worked. We have the running and startup config collected for our devices when looking at the device status dashboard. does this mean if a switch crashes we can restore the config to a new switch immediately?
i saw there is a version 4.2. maybe this version resolves the issue with LMS on a virutal server? i cannot find the download to upgrade to 4.2 in the support section though.
I am trying to figure out why the Device view has no systlogs in Cisco Prime 4.1.I have everything configured, the switch is sending debugging level logs to the IP of the Prime Server. I am fairly certain it is reporting because it has alot of other information in the server.
We have a Prime LMS and a Prime NCS instance running. At the moment, instead of having the 2 systems do device discovery independantly, I thought a good way to set things up would be for LMS to do all of the discovery, and then export the DCR from LMS into NCS.
Now doing this manually in a cinch, but I'd like to automate the process. LMS has some nice scripting features that allows me to easily use the 'dcrcli' script to export a CSV file of the all of devices and credentials, which can be put in a format that NCS can bulk import. I plan to do this on a regular basis using a cron entry.
What I can't seem to find is any documentation on how I might be able to achieve the import piece of the puzzle on the NCS box. Are there command line utilities as with LMS that would allow me to import devices, and put the scripting into a cron file to do on a regular basis?
The problem is that - although negotiated in global discovery settings - Prime appends domain name to the device name so that all switches (not routers) have "confusing names". The domain name is not required in device name. What can i do?
I have problems with setting the snmp retry / timeout parameters for our devices. I managed to import our devices with bulk import , but after it I realized that for some devices the snmp retry / timeout values were different ( created the bulk file with 3 retries and 30 sec timeout , but in the system the appear with 2 retries and 1 sec timeout). I tried to change it manually , but after a while it goes back to the wrong values.
Wasn't sure the format for time zone when installing eval copy of Prime Infra 1.3. Set for UTC now and need to change to CST6CDT. Not sure how to change it.
We have LMS Prime 4.2. I know how to view the running config on a single device. How do I run a report that will pull all the running configs of all my devices in one report? I'd be able to same them as one big pdf or text file. ]
before I open a TAC case: How does Cisco Prime NCS handle the device licenses for stack of 3750 switches? Just one device license for the stack or a license for every physical switch in the stack? I can't find a answer on the Cisco website, but maybe one of you knows it from a deployment you have done..
I have a device specific question. I was wondering how/if it would be possible to change an aftermarket device's bluetooth name? For example, this bluetooth dongle. I need to be able to connect multiple bluetooth transmitters to either 1 receiver or an equal amount of receivers without the 'same' devices interfering with each other, and these dongles are the cheapest on the net. I'm assuming I'll need to get into it on my computer somehow to change the name.
We're currently evaluating Cisco Prime LMS 4.2.Something we've been trying to achieve for the past couple of days is to have LMS notify us when a Microsoft Host is Unreachable, and then to notify us once that alarm has cleared (the Microsoft Host is Reachable again).
We're at the point where the Microsoft Host was discovered, LMS incorrectly identified it as a Cisco Call Manager, so we changed it's identity to non-cisco device > microsoft host > microsoft host. LMS currently has the device listed as being in the 'Questioned' state. SNMP timeout has been set to 15 seconds, and the SNMP community is correct.
Being new to LMS Prime, and having not received any training on the product to this point, we turned to the admin guide, but we couldn't find anything that goes into detail for how to manage the notification for non-Cisco devices.
Is what we're trying to achieve possible with Cisco Prime LMS 4.2? We just want to be able to receive simple 'host unreachable' notifications for Microsoft servers, and the corresponding 'cleared' notifications once the server is back online.
how do i change a default gateway? the current gateway 170.130.110.254 needs to be changed to 170.130.110.2 so my two devices at separate locations can communicate with each other
I have noticed that under the Device Change Audit list under the configuration dashboard. LMS lists the wrong user for the last change. For example. User ABC performed a change on a switch yesterday but switch shows user XYZ has performed the change.
e.g.
SwitchA
! Last configuration change at 16:27:06 AEST Mon Aug 15 2011 by ABC
User XYZ then performs changes on switchB, switchC. These show up correctly. but the change on switchA shows user XYZ instead of ABC.
User XYZ has never logged into the switchA in question.
I picked up this RV180 router because it has one of the fastest thru speeds of all the routers tested that I viewed on smallnetbuilder. That and it has the cisco name. I grew tired of purchasing wireless home routers every year after they fail. So far the thing is nice with one exception.
I have one device that is essential on my network called an airave. It is a small device similar to a wireless access point that works on springs voice network. The thing essentially makes a small cell tower inside your house and connects to the sprint network through an Ipsec vpn. I have not ability to change ipsec settings on the device on my end. The device works fine connected to the cable modem or to the old slow dlink. When I first connect the thing it works fine for about 5-10 minutes on the cisco. Then the thing loses connection and I lose my cell phone service. Just to test any port conflicts I made this the the DMZ with no luck.
I have also tried a firmware upgrade. I have not messed with any of the firewall settings or port forwarding since DMZ should in theory fix that. I have assigned the thing a fixed IP address but that does not seem to make a difference. It did not on my old router and is mostly just for my sanity and to facilitate the DMZ.
I'm currently running CiscoWorks LMS 4.0.1 on Windows 2003 under VMware and just got upgrade licensing for Prime Infrastructure 1.2. I am assuming that I will need to upgrade the current server to Prime LMS 4.2 in order to ensure that data migration to Prime Infrastructure goes well. I am planning to follow Cisco's recommendation to run Prime LMS and Prime Infrastructure in parallel for a time and migrate individual functions.
My real question is about Syslog handling. All of the managed devices are currently sending Syslog data to LMS. As a last step in the migration, is it possible to change the IP address of the Prime Infrastructure server to replace the Prime LMS server so that the Prime Infrastructure server will just start getting all the Syslog data, or do I need to go change hundreds of managed devices to point to a new address?
What is the relation between: cisco NCScisco Prime LMSCisco Prime infrastructure.As i orderd a Cisco Prime infrastructure from a Cisco Partner and what i got is :
x2 cisco NCS appliances x1 DVD cisco prime infrastructure x1 DVD Cisco prime 4.2
I'm wondering is there a way that i could actually change the IP address of a computer based on its MAC Address that is connected to a network via switch only ? By running some bat file ? I only manage to change a target computer ip,dns,subnet via running the bat file on the physical computer but not through a network with switch.
My IP address was stolen. Someone sent me a file that I was expecting. It had a very misconcieving title. I opened it and it wouldn't work, but I let it slide. A week or two later I found pictures of myself on a forum from a hacker. The file I had opened had been a virus that hacked into my webcam. This creep told me that this had spread to 1000+ people and they all had my IP address. I am so scared! If everyone has my IP address anything could happen. How do I change my IP address without it messing up other settings in my computer and how do I remove this virus from my computer?
We have a WCS 7.0.164.3 with 27 WLCs. We are now running a project where were creating new subnets on our locations - and because of this we have to change the controllers management ip-adresses.
I am able to change the ip-address of the management interface both through wcs and on the wlc, but the controllers ip-address (the one we see under Configure - controllers) is still the old one. This causes the wcs to loose connection to the wlc. I have to delete the controller, and then add it with the new IP. The APs are then removed from the maps, and I have to manually place them on the maps again - this is a lot of work with 700 APs.
Is there a way to change the controller IP in WCS?
I'm running a Winsock server on my machine, and I want to be able to connect a client (on an external/remote) network. I know that there are two IP addresses: The WAN IP which is what your IP address looks like while connecting to the internet. There is also an IP address assigned to you by your router. If both machines are on the same network, then I am able to make the client connect to the server by providing the Router-IP. But when they are on different networks, they do not connect even when i give the WAN IP. How exactly do I specify an address for a remote device ?
I have a TP-Link device TL-WR340G Wifi Device. I connect a PC through one of the LAN ports.Mow my WiFi router's MAC address has not been registered at my ISP system. I need to find a way to 'change' my Routers MAC address to another MAC address. The cloning doesn't work. I need to change my Router's LAN MAC address.
