Cisco :: Configure Device Discovery In LMS 4.0 Works
Aug 1, 2011
I´m getting started on ciscoworks and i trying to configure a device discovery to start but i have some questions about how configure this tool exist 5 parameters that i have to configure to start the device discovery.
I want to add devices that found neighbors via CDP son in the configuring discovery module setting i choice that option In the configuring seed device setting i choose DCR as seed device that means those devices already in the DCR start discovering from those devices but you can add more seed devices how i can add a seed device ? with ip addres or something like this? and this device have to be in the DCR already or not? The configuring SNMP settings, this community correspond to what device? the devices that i want to add ? and in the field target name what ip adders have to be? and if i have different community of snmp in my devices what device and snmp community have to configure in this parameter
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 running CiscoPrime LMS 4.1 and I have the following problem.I have configured SNMP Settings as shown below (the order of the targets is exactly as it is configured on the server):As can be seen we use three different read community strings. I also have exluded a bunch of IP ranges and IPs from the filter settings. When I manually start discovery everything works fine, meaning that all devices in the above ranges that need to be discovered are discovered as "reachable". The problem appears in the scheduled discovery (happens once daily). In that case only the devices with Read Community snmp1, get discovered as "reachable". All other devices with Read community snmp2 & snmp3, as well as those that are excluded in the filter settings, are discovered as "unreachable".The discovery uses DCR as seed and seed devices are also configured.I also have a problem with PingSweep in the discovery, but I will open another discussion so that I don't complicate this one too much.
I use the Edit Identity option to change the "Display Name" from an IP to a station name, it is overwritten when a discovery has been done. I have checked the discovery settings and tried using the update DCR Display name setting to prevent this from happening, but it makes no difference.Is there something i am missing? This is on LMS 3.2?
we use LMS 3.2 in our network. We have a couple of 6509-V-E Switches with mutiple interfaces (VLAN interfaces and Layer 3 interfaces) The problem is, campus manager discovers the switch by a interface randomly...one time its a lay3 Interface and another one its a vlan interface which none of them are in DNS hence no name resolution can be made.
Is there a way to "tell" CM to us for instance the VLAN Management IP of the switch?
I have a very special usecase with migrating devices from LMSv2.6 to v4.1 using DCR bulk import that was maintained manualy, not by discovering.The special thing is each device has its own SNMP-community and its about 1500 devices.RME discovery works fine, but I get the devices not discovered by DCR (CSDiscovery), because I need a minimal DCR discovery configration containing Seed and SNMP-settings. So I activated DCR as seed, but cant skip SNMP settings without an entry. But in this case I would need 1500 SNMP-lines that would be very unhandy. is in CSDiscovery-Settings a possibility to can leave SNMP settings untouched so it takes the credentials from the DCR, to can start DCR discovery?
I have problem in recently installed LMS 4.1 Device discovery will not start when launched manually. When i hit the button, it doesn't even give a popup window saying that the discovery is started and that email will be sent... If I schedule it is launched, runs and finishes correctly. All proceses are started and it seems that application is working ok. LMS is installed on Win 2008 R2.
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 CiscoWorks LMS3.2 with RME4.3.1 and CS 3.3.0.
When I will update the devices and I go to Common Services - Software Center Device Update and I mark Resource Manager Essential then I receive this window:
Now I choose the Rtr2900 package (same problem for all six packages) and when I will download it, then after define the destination path for the file I see this window:
Then I have tried to download it manually with the following command: PSUCli.bat -p rme -d -dst c:psu_download -all
The six packages that are showed in the picture above were not downloaded.
I assume that there is an error on Cisco side because the size of the six packages is NA.
Or is there another possibility to download the package for the Rtr2900?
how the CDP device sensor probe works with ISE ?What I am trying to do, is to identify different Cisco Wireless Access Point models (i.e. LAP 1142) with ISE.Since the APs do speak CDP (I can see the AP devices on the switch), this should be possible with the CDP device sensor on the switch, shouldn't it I have done the following so far: Configured the switch to talk to ISE via radius accounting: [code] Should this config make the switch send CDP information about connected devices to the ISE (via radius accounting) ?How do the device sensors work ?
Any cheap outdoor extension antenna that works with a Linksys wap54g? Not looking for anything too expensive. Just trying to bring wifi signal into a building.
I have a 512MB USB Flash device and was able to boot the IOS on the C2960 from it.After that i tried to Copy the IOS file from the USB to the system flash, but it could not find the USB Device.At plugging in the device the systems tells me: "Transfer type 2 not supported" I configured the USB device in NTFS and FAT both are able to boot with the ROMMON, but the normal system does not accept them and i know i can do the copy over a TFTP from my laptop, but it is strange that rommon accepts the usb device and the system does not?
We just switched over from a T1 line to 50/4 Mbps cable Internet. The speed was fine with the T1, but when we switched over to cable, the download speeds didn't increase. I'm getting 2-3 Mbps up and still only 1.5 Mbps down. I inherited this network a few years ago, so I didn't configure the Pix initially but I have been managing it and can't find a setting limiting the bandwidth for the liffe of me. I know it's not the Internet because when I connect a computer straight to the modem, the speed is great. As soon as I put it through the Pix though, it slows way down.
I am facing problem while connecting my VPN server configure at UC540 device. this device is behind my ISP router. i applied port forwording of IPSEC traffice to my cisco device which configured as vpn server. now if i try to connect with my Live IP i get the following error. [code] I test if i connect using 192.168.0.116 internally it works but if i try to connect using my Live IP it trying and trying but not connect..
I have a newly purchased Aironet 3502i that I would like to configure on my network. I am new to Cisco networking in general, and would like to know how to configure the device to operate without a WLAN Controller.
I am new to ACS 5.1.I need to configure the ACS to act as the 802.1x authentication Server, as well as, act as the Radius Server for the authentication and authorization process when I access the switch.
I had created Two rules (under the Access policy) to cater for the two scenario, it will always "stuck" at the 1st rule. For e.g. Rule-1 is meant for the 802.1x, Rule 2 is meant for the AAA process. When I tested with 802.1x, it worked perfectly. But when I tested to login to the switch, it always failed. Based on the log, Rule1 is not able to fulfill my requirement (of course it can't). I thought the rules check process will proceed with Rule-2, but apparently it did not.
I'm trying to configure my Linksys E2000 to be an ethernet attached wireless device to use on computers instead of dongles, etc. I don't want it to route, just act like a Wireless card.
I'm looking to configure a syslog server for all of my cisco device logging. I've had a look at CNA and can't find any options to define a syslog server for my switches.
What's the best way to define a syslog server and the severity of the notifications? Also, i'm looking to clear all previous Syste mmessages fon my devices?
I've purchased a wmp600n pci adapter january this year and installed it with no problems and did not encoutner a single problem with it until today. I use windows 7 64bit.
I've just came back from a 3 week absence and turned on my computer for the first time since i left. I notice that I have no wireless connection. So i go to network connections and realize that my wireless adapter dosent even show up..only my lan card. So i check my device manager, and under network adapters, i can see my wireless adapter, but with an exclamation mark next to it. I check the properties, and under the status box, it gives me this message.Your computer's system firmware does not include enough information to properly configure and use this device. To use this device, contact your computer manufacturer to obtain a firmware or BIOS update. (Code 35).
So i do what it says, and flash my bios to the latest version. After the update, I check the device manager, and the error message is still there. I check my wireless adapter driver version and it is v3.0.2, which is the latest version according to the linksys driver download webpage. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing the adapter but no luck there. I also checked to see if maybe there was a problem with my pci slot and that was not the problem because I was able to use my older wireless adapter.
I am having trouble getting 1142 LAP to find the controller. We are running an ASA 5505 at our main campus where the 5508 is located. Each Of our distribution centers have a PIX501 and from there about 3-5 AP's each. The AP's that were primmed before instalation work great, however we need the ability to get the other ones that were already installed and not finding controller to work with out cycling them through main campus. I have opened up UDP ports 12222-12223 and 5246-5246 with no luck.
we're evaulating the Cisco SM 4.2. After adding my ASA 5520 the Policies are discovered from the device except the RA VPN Policies.I tried to trigger the discovery process manually and i got this errormessage Please verify the device "IP address", "hostname", "domain name" and "port number" are correct, there is network connectivity between the CS Manager server and the device, and the device is configured to accept https connections, the device is running, and then retry this operation.which i don't understand because the other policies were retrieved just fine.
I have a problem discovering some ASA firewalls on a network. I have several ASA firewalls on this /24 network, but some of them I can't discover e.g 149.x.x.107 is discovered ok, but 149.x.x.20 I can't discover. It seems that it's not even trying to discover the devices I have problems with. Nothing is shown in the discovery log.
LMS 4.2, W2K8 R2.I was having an issue with discovery adding devices to with corrupt information (seemingly random strings of characters in several fields). While I was trying to clean this up a scheduled discovery kicked off and further exacerbated the issues I was having. Frustrated, I deleted all entries from the discovery schedule until I could get things cleaned up.
Now I want to go back and troubleshoot the discovery process. Trouble is, I can't get discovery to do anything anymore. I disabled all modules but CDP. I added a single seed IP address under the CDP configuration. This is the address of a 3560V2 switch that is not in DCR. When I started discovery it completed in about 2 seconds and didn't discover anything, including the seed device. So I added another 3560V2 as a seed device under global settings. Same results. Thinking that it had been working using scheduled discovery, I set up a schedule and kicked it off that way. Same results. Finally I added one of these seed devices to DCR and let LMS fully learn about it. Ran another discovery. Still no joy.
I started an SNMP debug on the seed devices before starting discovery. I see the SNMP get coming from LMS, the switches respond and the discovery completes with 0 devices discovered.CS Discovery.log contains no meaningful information. Only messages about "No appenders could be found for logger".
my customer is using Cisco Prime 4.1 as an Upgrade from LMS 4.0 and has made a discovery of a new added Cat 4506E with a Sup 7E and Modules.All the devices have been discovered, excepted the module WS-X4712-SFP+E.Is this card not supported yet ?I could not find any detailled and actual information about the support or not of this module, or about the conditions for the Module support it in Prime 4.1..How ist it possible to proceed to having this module discovered ?
We have just installed LMS 4.0.1 and started to discover parts of the network. After the discovery process finished successfully - 100+ new devices were added to DCR message - I was able to see the devices by clicking on their number but when I go to Inventory-Add/Import/Manage Devices I cannot see any device in the Group that I created.If I restart the CiscoWorks Daemon Manager process the newly discovered devices are added to the custom Group. This seems like a bug as I had a LMS 4.0 evaluation installation a few months ago and device discovery was working fine meaning the devices were added immediately to the Inventory.
i am installing a CWLMS 4.0 and everything was good until i have reached the discovery for the devices, i am dealing with a bank setup and the branches is connected using layer 3 MPLS, branches are located behind the ISP router, so as a cdp neighbor i cant see anything but the ISP router at my Core.
so i cant see the branches routers as neighbors to my (seed Device) Core, and i have tried to use the ping sweep and i could not reach them also. and also to add them manually as we were doing before in the earlier versions of CWLMS, using the Devices and Credintials, this option is removed from the LMS 4.0 as i have red in a document.
1- snmp is configured on all devices. 2- access-list is configured on all devices. 3- i am able to reach the LAN Devices without any problems and the configuration is the same on all of the devices.
We are running CiscoPrime LMS 4.1 and I have a problem with PingSweep in Device Discovery. Our company's branches connect to the main site through GETVPN. Discovery through CDP, Routing Table and ARP cannot be used based on the document written by Joseph Clarke [URL] and which is extremely useful. So the only available option is PingSweep.
The loopback interfaces of all the remote GETVPN devices are in the same IP range, so this was configured in Module Settings --> Ping Sweep in the Discovery.
Unfortunately none of the devices get discovered, even though there is icmp connectivity from the server to the loopbacks.
I am using lms 3.2.where I have added devices manually.Because discovery settings the device are taking some random ip updating the display and hostname.
my system's network discovery is always off even when i try to put it on again it goes back off immediately...can it be related to the firewall settings or wat else can be preventing it from coming on?
I have just installed prime 1.3 (brand new install), we have started a discovery job to find one switch (IP address), this job has so far come up with 311 credential failures and appears to be going through every 127.0.0.x IP address it can.Is there a way of stopping this job from running. Clicking on the Red X next to the name has no effect.
I have one questions regarding if C6509 suports "ip tcp path-mtu-discovery" ? apply this command to GRE interface on C6509? if yes, let me know what is the the IOS for that.
I have a client with a 2112 WLC and 1252AG radios. The clients work fine, but an SNMP management server can not reach any of the clients over the wireless. Before the WLC and new AP's were installed, they were running older Cisco Autonomous AP's and had no problems with SNMP. My monitoring system uses SNMP and it can reach the WLC just fine, so there doesnt appear to be any issues on the switched network. What can be blocking the SNMP on the WLC?
