Device discovery in Cisco Prime LMS 4.1

Hi,
im 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, ie
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 dont undestad why the program adds that repeated illegal addresses.. someone can help me with that issue??
how can i run the device discovery to avoid this problem?
Many Thanks.

Julio,
Don't let LMS decide on what IP address it will manage the device.
For example, let LMS do a lookup of the sysname in DNS, then it will use the IP address coming back from the DNS as management IP.
This is what I do to avoid this.
But I also feel that LMS should be bright enough to never manage the same device twice. I think Campus DFM or RME will eventually figure out the 2 devices are the same, but they can't "fix" what is wrong in the DCR.
Cheers,
Michel

  • Cisco Prime LMS - Device discovery

    How do you configure Cisco Prime LMS Device Discovery, so that you can have two credentials sets for specific "special devices" (host based statement) and one for the of the devices (global subnet statement)?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Here is the link to the document containing the detailed steps regarding Credential Sets.
    After defining your sets then set up Credential Set Policies.

  • Cisco Prime LMS device unreachable dont know why

    Hi
    Currently running Cisco Prime LMS v4.2
    I am trying to get some Nexus 7K Switches to work and become reachable.
    They are running  kickstart: version 6.2(2)
                                 system:    version 6.2(2)
    Now as far as I can see i have 2 identical switches but one is unreachable and the other is reachable.
    When i use my snmp tester they both work with the correct V3 auth/priv passwords and the correct ssh
    works on the switches.
    When i go to monitor/Troubleshooting Tools/Troubleshooting Workflows
    Then for the non working one  i get the following fails.... 
    Device Information   Device availability  x
    Collector Status
    Data Collection  Failure
    User Tracking    Failure
    Fault discovery   Failure
    On the working one The above all are a Success.
    Also
    Reachability Details
    Both ping and traceroute work fine on both switches 
    For the life of me I cannot see any difference in the configuration of the two devices.
    Has anyone come across this before ?
    I have attached a copy of the snmp config.
    Thanks
    Steve

    What is the server OS? Windows/Linux or Unix?
    From the server to ping and poll device for SNMP and see if both device works fine?
    SNMP walk is available under :
    Windows : NMSROOT/objects/jt/bin
    Linux/unnix/: /opt/SCOpx/objects/jt/bin
    Example:
    NSROOT/objects/jt/bin/snmpwalk -v2c -c public <ip_add> <OID>
    Try to configure the problematic device for SNMP v2 and try to add it from there and test if it works fine.

  • Cisco Prime LMS 4.1 - Do access points use up a node count license?

    Hi Everyone,
    I wish to purchase Cisco Prime LMS 4.1, particularly Cisco part # R-LMS-4.1-500-K9 which support 500 Cisco nodes.
    We have about 360 Cisco switches/routers/ASA/FWs/WLCs so the 500 nodes license would seem to suffice for now & for future growth.
    We also have about 200 lightweight APs that are managed & monitored by our WLC/WCS/Navigator environment.
    According to the device support documentation for LMS, it supports and I assume will auto-discover these APs.
    Does that mean these APs will use up node licenses on LMS even though management of the APs is done by WLC/WCS?  If so is there an easy way to suppress discovery of APs by LMS so we don’t have to purchase extra node licenses for LMS?  Or, does LMS offer additional support features for wireless APs not already offered by WLC/WCS/Navigator?
    Just trying to understand how many network node licenses for LMS I have to purchase.
    Thanks in advance for your help,
    Ian.

    Thanks but I just heard back from my Cisco SE and he assures me that an AP will NOT use up a license.
    I've asked him to verify his answer for me.
    Is your answer based on real world expereince (the best there is)?  That is, are you running Prime LMS 4.1 and does it indeed use up a license for each light-weight AP it discovers & manages?
    Thanks for mentioning options 1-3 but I do not wish to employ any of them.  I don't mind buying the additional licenses for APs ... I just need to know if I have to or not.
    Ian.

  • Cisco Prime LMS MPLS monitoring

    Hi all, have anyone used Cisco Prime LMS for MPLS xconnect monitoring?
    Currently when these traps arrive to Cisco Prime LMS they are classified as "InformAlarm Unidentified Trap Generic".
    Is it maybe possible to load the correct MIB for these traps and get Cisco Prime LMS to understand them correctly?
    The raw traps looks like this:
    xconnect down:
    09:58:42.352760 IP (tos 0x40, ttl 245, id 12, offset 0, flags [none], proto: UDP (17), length: 114) routerhost.51591 > lmshost.snmptrap: [udp sum ok]  { SNMPv1 { Trap(71)  E:cisco.10.106.2 10.130.1.13 enterpriseSpecific s=1 424011509 E:cisco.10.106.1.2.1.26.2=2 E:cisco.10.106.1.2.1.26.2=2 } }
    xconnect up:
    09:59:48.597894 IP (tos 0x40, ttl 245, id 14, offset 0, flags [none], proto: UDP (17), length: 114) routerhost.51591 > lmshost.snmptrap: [udp sum ok]  { SNMPv1 { Trap(71)  E:cisco.10.106.2 10.130.1.13 enterpriseSpecific s=2 424018144 E:cisco.10.106.1.2.1.26.2=1 E:cisco.10.106.1.2.1.26.2=1 } }
    I found some more info about the traps at:
    http://tools.cisco.com/Support/SNMP/do/BrowseMIB.do?local=en&step=2&mibName=CISCO-IETF-PW-MIB-V1SMI
    BR /Crille

    Here is an update:
    After discussing with TAC there seems to be 2 possible solutions in LMS right now:
    1. Create a threshold that monitors the specific OID for the xconnect vc and generate alarm if it changes.
    2. Configure the device to send syslog when a xconnect state changes and create an "automated syslog action".
    I have not tried either of them yet so I dont know which one works best, but option 2 seems easiest (its a one time config).

  • Migrating from CiscoWorks LMS 3.1 to Cisco Prime LMS 4.2

    Thanks Marvin for your advice. Just one last question, there's a statement in the URL that you've provided
    "Ensure that the passwords, HTTPS port and SMTP server details are same in both LMS 3.2 SP1, LMS 4.0.1 or LMS 4.1 server and LMS 4.2 server with Symantec Veritas implementation, while migrating data from non-HA to HA environment."
    Does this mean my client need to purchase Symantec Veritas, as well?

  • Drawing network topology in Cisco Prime LMS 4.2

    Hi all:
    I installed the Cisco Prime LMS 4.2 and managed to discover the Cisco devices and user devices like my PC stations.
    Then I tried to draw the network topology from this LMS 4.2 and I found the topology under the Configuration and Monitor tab. By clicking to these two tabs, it appears a page of something like below:
    Topology Services
    You can use Topology Services to:
    - View detailed xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    - Display the physical and logical services in your network
    - xxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    - xxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    - xxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    - xxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    - xxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    There is no action click on this page and it looks like an explanation page and cannot do anything.
    May I know how to draw the networl topology by this Cisco Prime LMS 4.2?
    Hope to hear the answer from anyone know about this soon. Many thanks!
    Warmest regards,
    tangsuan

    Hi Mantej:
    Thanks to your link and I have downloaded the Prime LMS 4.2 document.
    I then read and installed the JRE first in 64 bits because my Windows OS is 64bits but it still prompts out the Java installation screen. I then installed the JRE in 32 bits.
    After that, it has no more Java installation screen. It then request for downloading file at the Windows top bar. I follow the request to riight click to allow the downloading. The Java running and downlaod the file.
    After that, I cannot see any difference. Meaning I still cannot access anything for Toplology Services to draw my network topology diagram.
    May I know what should be happen and what is the next step to do the topology drawing?
    Many thanks!

  • Changing server for Cisco Prime LMS 4.2 installation

    Hi,
    I am planning to install Cisco Prime LMS 4.2 with 50 device license on a temporary server. My question is:
    Can we install Cisco Prime LMS 4.2 on Server A, applied the license for 50 devices, and then several months later we uninstall LMS on Server A, reinstall it on Server B, and applied the same license for 50 users?
    Is it possible and legal to do that? I am worry if the LMS license is binding to the first server's MAC address.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Cisco Prime LMS 4.1 - /cwportal/group/lms/lms not found error after login

    After upgrading the MDF (Common Services) and the device packages on our Cisco Prime LMS 4.1 installation we now get an error after logging in. The error is as follows;
    Status
    Not Found The requested resource was not found.
    https://X.X.X.X/cwportal/group/lms/lms
    The top of the page is the normal menu and anything we choose there works fine so we only see this just after logging in to CiscoWorks.
    Has anyone experienced this problem or do you have any idea what might be causing it?
    The installation is running on a Cisco appliance.
    kind regards,
    Michel

    It's being access from a client using Internet Explorer 8 (which is what I'm forced to use due to company policy) by access the DNS name of the ciscoworks server and logging in.. It worked previous to installing the patches so I'm not exactly sure what has happened. I'll try to get another PC to test from though to see if it's something to do with my browser or PC.
    If I add -configuration to the url it works just fine.

  • Cisco Prime LMS ordering

    Hi,
    I need to order WCS and LMS for a new network. But after going through the datasheet, I found it is now bundled as Cisco Prime Infrastructure. I am confused in selecting the device counts. If I need to manage 140 access points and 100 network devices, how much device license i should order for Cisco Prime infrastructure.
    When i select 100 license for the part number R-PI-1.1-100-K9, i am getting 100 NCS license and 100 LMS license as included items, so for my above scenario, if i order 150 license for prime infrastructure, will it cover all 240 devices?
    Many thanks....

    Cisco Prime LMS does NOT have the WAN QoS deployment capabilities packaged up nicely the way QPM did. It does, however, offer the Auto Smartports and MediaNet work centers that aid in setting up (primarily) endpoint switch ports. See this link for more details.
    I believe the best one could do with respect to MAN/WAN devices' QoS settings using LMS would be to create deployment templates and do compliance checks.

  • Issues with Cisco Prime LMS 4.2.3

    Hi,
    I'm trailing Cisco Prime LMS 4.2.3 Soft appliance on ESXi before I deploy it into a live environment and am having some issues.
    I've upgraded to version 4.2.3 and the box was working fine after the upgrade however on power it up today the Apache service will not start.
    If I look at the LMS application I see this for the Apache service.
    "Apache                Administrator has shut down this server   0 "
    I have tried to starting it.
    CiscoLMS42/admin# application start Apache
