Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1 - User Tracking

Hello All,
I am facing some issues with user tracking for wired clients. I have configured PI to track one particular mac address, such that every time that mac is identified in the network an alarm should be generated.  I have configured mac notification also in the switch ports. I observed that when the device is connected the switch is sending the mac change notification to prime but alarm is not generated until I go to " Administration>Back ground tasks>wired client status" and manually execute the task. Our requirement is that the client should send some trap to prime and prime should poll the client on receiving the trap and update the client database, subsequently generate the alarm.
Thanks
Shabeeb Kunhipocker

Programmatic access to PI's data is via the REST API.
Check the help menu on your PI server to see documentation regarding the supported tables and fields that can be queried via that method.

  • Prime Infrastructure 1.3 user tracking

    Hello. I'm looking to migrate WCS 7 and LMS 3.2 onto Prime Infrastructure 1.3. I'm having a look at wired user tracking and was wondering if anyone could help me with:
    1 MAC notfication - on LMS3.2 we used 'mac notification' on the access switches to generate a trap when there were any mac table changes
    2 CallManager integration - on LMS3.2 we added CUCM  - this pulled caller id and extension number from callmanager and matched them with wired IP phones
    I can't seem to get either of the above working on Prime 1.3. Is this a limitation of the version of Prime? I'm aware that 1.3 doesn't have the same features as LMS but is the above posssible in 1.3? If not, is this functionality available with Prime 2.0?
    Thanks

  • User Name and Password for Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1

    Hi all:
    I am stuck at the login page of Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1.
    I have tried using the user name root and its password (when log in with root at Vsphere Client) and also the login user name "before" get into the appliance infrastructure, all cannot work.
    Anybody knows what is the default username or password or any way to set the username and password for this Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1 website?
    Thanks!
    tangsuan

    Hi Tangsuan,
    Following is the documented procedure for password recovery..
    In order to modify the GUI root user password, you will need to login to the NCS CLI
    as an admin user, and enter the command
    "ncs password root password <new password>" (without the quotes)
    This should set the web interface root user password :
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/ncs/1.1/configuration/guide/manag.html#wp1268889
    If you have lost your CLI password , try the default logging that is  ,
    CLI user is admin and not root, so please try logging in as admin with
    the password that was set during setup. If that does not work , you need
    the install disk that came with the appliance to recover that password.
    Follow these steps:
    Recovering a Lost Admin Password
    If you lose or forget the admin password for NCS appliance, follow these steps.
    Step 1 Reboot the NCS appliance with the ISO DVD inserted. The Cisco Prime Network Control

  • Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3 Web Log Invalid user password

    Hi,
    I recently installed Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3 per the set up guide. I was able to login into the webinterface.
    Then I insert the radius server and reload ncs. Since then I'm not able to login to the web interface. I get the following error message "Invalid Username or Password. Please try again". Even when I set the ncs root user with a new password. One issue could be that i forgot the enable fallback to local.
    Is there a way to change the radius config back via cli?
    Thanks a lot
    Hansruedi

    Hi Hansruedi,
    Thanks you for your help and your time.
    I followed your recomandation until the fourth step.
    But after this step,  I lost the web page connection.
    I check nsc status but all is running :
    NMS still stopped. NMS must be running to have an access by web page ?
    I restart Prime (by reload command) but nothing changed.
    Thanks

  • Only 1 Virtual domain per user in Cisco Prime Infrastructure ?

    Hello,
    I wanted to add several Virtual Domains in Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3 (the UI allows it). But then I observe that the user can only see the first Virtual Domain (the first par alphabetical order).
    Is it normal (by design), or is it a bug, or is there something that understand wrong ?
    Many thanks in advance,
    Best regards,
    David

    A user can have multiple virtual domain assigned , but only one is active at login.
    Anyway the user can change the current virtual domain using the virtual domain drop-down list at the right top of the page.

  • Cisco prime Infrastructure guest user schedule

    Hi All,
    What is the procedure to follow to create a Lobby Ambassador account in Cisco Prime, who can create a guest user and schedule the new password generation everyday for that guest account.
    We want the Guest Account to be created once with one username (Ex: Guest 1) and everyday, a new password should be generated for Guest 1 and the credentials should be mailed to a network admin.
    And how should I create lobby ambassador account in CPI? I know the prcedure for WLC.
    Thanks,

  • Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2 clients and users IPs not detected

    Hi all,
    I have cisco PI2.2 and discovered all the network and i notified that there are some clients' IPs (Servers or PCs or Laptops or ....) not detected.
    please advice what may be the issue ? 

    Hi,
    does anyone happen to know if that problem is fixed? My currently setup looks like this:
    1. Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1 with updated device pack.
    2. Assurance license
    3. ASA5510 which has enabled netflow. Netflow is being sent to Cisco Prime 2.1
    I do receive netflow raw data within Cisco Prime 2.1 but any graphical display of netflow data is not working. Does anybody has an idea where the problem is? Could it be that the graphical data is only displayed when sending netflow 1, netflow 5 or netflow 7?
    regards

  • Cisco prime Infrastructure alarms by e-mail

    hi all,
    my Cisco PI1.2 not send me a notification e-mail with specific alarm if occurred twice and the first time is not cleared or deleted.
    i.e.
    if a switch is down it send me a notification e-mail, and this switch comes up again but i did not remove the first alarm, the PI not send me a notification.
    please advice
    thanks in advance

    Alarm Status
    Description
    New
    When an event triggers a new alarm or an event is associated with an existing alarm.
    Acknowledged
    When you acknowledge an alarm, the status changes from New to Acknowledged.
    Cleared
    An alarm can be in these statuses:
    Auto-clear from the device—The fault is resolved on the device and an event is triggered for the same. For example, a device-reachable event clears the device-unreachable event. This in-turn, clears the device-unreachable alarm.
    Manual-clear from Prime Infrastructure users: You can manually clear an active alarm without resolving the fault in the network. A clearing event is triggered and this event clears the alarm.
    If the fault continues to exist in the network, a new event and alarm are created subsequently based on the event notification (traps/syslogs).
    This might be the reason, I believe.
    Please refer the following link for better understanding.
    http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/net_mgmt/prime/infrastructure/1-2/user/guide/prime_infra_ug/alarms.html

    Hi Jeremy,
    SNMP traps are shown in the events and alerts section of PI.
    SNMP config looks fine. Can  you run the SNMP debug (debug snmp packets ) .check the logs and see if the device is actually sending the TRAPS to the PI server.
    Thanks-

  • Cisco Prime Infrastructure patch 2.1.1 - HA issue

    Hello,
    I have a problem with the Cisco Prime Infrastructure patched to version 2.1.1. I did exactly what Installation Guidelines say:
    http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/net_mgmt/prime/infrastructure/2-1-1/release/notes/cpi_rn.html
    – Install the Prime Infrastructure 2.1.1 patch by using the Administration > Software Updates page on the primary server.
    – Restart the primary server.
    – Verify that the patch installation is complete. If you find the installation complete, decommission and reinstall the secondary server and add it back to the primary server.
    I reinstalled HA server and I'm trying to add it to HA but I get "Failed to authenticate - Primary(xx.xx.xx.xx) and Secondary(xx.xx.xx.xy) PI version does not match"
    Can you help me with that? What I'm doing wrong? or maybe this patch is not prepared to work in HA mode?
    Regards

    Symptom:
    The installation instructions of PI 2.1.1 patch in a High Availability environment are not accurate and following these steps will result in the inability to re-pair the Primary and Secondary servers.
    Conditions:
    If the instructions are followed, then when the user attempts to re-pair the servers, an error will be encountered:
    "High Availability Registration Failed - Failed to authenticate - Primary (x.x.x.1) and Secondary (x.x.x.2) PI version does not match".
    Instead, the following steps have proved to work correctly:
    1. Upload and install patch on primary.
    2. Upload and install patch on secondary.
    3. Stop NCS services on secondary
    4. Stop NCS services on primary
    5. Start services on secondary
    6. Start services on primary
    7. Re-pair HA servers from primary
    Workaround:
    Workaround 1:
    On the secondary, go under root and issue:
    # cd /opt/CSCOlumos/bin/
    # ./hamode.sh primary
    Answer 'yes' when prompted.
    Go to admin user and execute
    # ncs stop
    After the services are stopped:
    # ncs start
    When the services are back up, login to the secondary GUI as you would login to a primary server
    Go under Administration > Software update, upload the patch and install it.
    Go to admin user and execute
    # ncs stop
    After the services are stopped:
    # ncs start
    When the services are up, go under root and issue:
    # cd /opt/CSCOlumos/bin/
    # ./hamode.sh secondary
    Answer 'yes' when prompted.
    Go to admin user and execute
    # ncs stop
    After the services are stopped:
    # ncs start
    After the message that services started successfully on the secondary, initiate a new High Availability configuration from the primary. Now the synchronization between the two servers should succeed.
    Workaround 2:
    Redeploy or reinstall the Primary server, restore the backup which was taken prior to applying the patch, reconfigure the High Availability and continue with the steps described in the Conditions section.
    Further Problem Description:
    Release Notes have been updated with more precise instructions.
    Known Affected Releases:
    (1)
    2.1(0.0.85)

    NetFlow export is also supported on other Cisco switches when using a NetFlow Feature Card (NFFC) or NFFC II and the Route Switch Module (RSM), or Route Switch Feature Card (RSFC). However, check whether version 5 is supported, as most switches export version 7 by default.
    You can check the below steps to diagnose the issue::
     To verify that NetFlow is exported from a device to PI, follow the steps below:
    1)    Browse to Administration > Data Sources page. Check the value in column ‘Last Active Time’  for the ‘Device Data Sources’ table. If the table is empty or  the value does not represent recent time, then
    it is possible that the device is not exporting NetFlow or PI Assurance license is not applied / expired.
    2)    Login to PI console ( via SSH) as root user and run the command:
                    netstat –an | grep 9991 – Output of this should be like :  udp        0      0 :::9991         :::*
                    Check the firewall settings on PI server using the command: firewall -L
    1)    Check the configuration on an IOS / IOS –XE device. Run the commands
    a)    sh running-config | inc destination
    1)    This should list the IP address of the PI SERVER ( along with other outputs if any)
    b)    sh running-config | inc 9991
    1)    This should list at least one entry.
    c)    If the above are fine, then verify that the flow monitor, flow exporter and the flow records are correctly configured on the device.
    Refer to the URLs below to configure NetFlow export.

  • Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 Alarms (switch port down)

    We have a cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 managing switches, routers and AP.
    By default, when a port of a switch goes down, the cisco Prime Infrastructre generates a Critical Alarm for that. (this is a problem, because every phone of laptop disconnection will generate a critical alarm for me)
    I found out that if we go to Administration --> Alarm Severity --> Link down, I can change the Alarm from Critical to another type of alarm.(ex: warning)
    The problem is that I want to keep the Critical Alarm for my Uplinks ports and for some important switch ports, and I would like to make the alarm as warning for the normal user ports.
    I know that I can create Port Groupping and add ports to each group and apply monitoring templates on those groups. But This couldn't Help me solving my alarm problem.
    So I just need to know how to manage the alarms severity for each group of ports.
    Thank you

    I am using Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 (evaluation version for 60 days). I want to deploy port monitoring for my trunk ports between switches and some other important ports e.g. servers. Basically I want to get alarms when these ports are down, there are errors on ports and etc.
    So in Design>Port Grouping I created User Defined group with important ports. In Deploy>Monitoring Deployment I selected Interface Health (default)>Deploy selected Port Groups and when selected port group I created.
    Now the rule shows Deployed: Yes and Status: Active. After that I just pulled out one port which was in monitored group, waited 5min as it is set in Interface Health (default) template, and nothing happened, and worse, alarms started to show up of other ports where regular users are connected (computers was turned off), which I do not want to see at all. I tried redeploy template, I even created my own template but still no desired result.
    Any suggestions how to make port monitoring work?

  • WCS and LMS to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3 Upgrade

    Hello,
    Our customer is currently having WCS for 500 devices and LMS 3.2 for 1500 devices. We are planning to upgrade to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3.
    I want to check is the upgrade procedure that we have planned is ok or we have missed something.
    Phase 1: WCS to CPI 1.3 upgrade
    1. Check that WCS is at 7.0.230.0  version
    2. Export WCS database
    3. Install NCS 1.1.1.24 software
    4. Contact cisco to obtain trial license for NCS software (L-WCS-NCS1-M-K9 license).
    5. Migrate WCS license and import it in NCS software
    6. Migrate WCS data to NCS software using ncs migrate command
    7. Patch NCS software
    8. Inline upgrade to CPI 1.3 software
    9. Install proper licenses on CPI 1.3 (WCS and LMS device count)
    My concern in this first phase is should I use NCS large image since our Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3 software should manage 2000 devices at the end.
    Or is it better not to perform inline upgrade and insted go with exporting data from NCS and then importing them to CPI 1.3 that is going to be installed separately?
    Phase 2: LMS 3.2 to CPI upgrade
    1. Export LMS 3.2 database
    2. Install LMS 4.2 software
    3. Install license to LMS 4.2
    4. Restore data from LMS 3.2 to LMS 4.2
    5. Direct upgrade from LMS 4.2 to 4.2.2
    6. Export the device list with credentials from LMS 4.2.2  and import it as a Bulk Import in CPI 1.3
    At the end we will have CPI 1.3 and LMS 4.2.2 software running.
    Is it possible to directly upgrade from LMS 4.2 to LMS 4.2.4 and then import data to CPI 1.3 or we need to go with 4.2.2 version?
    Regards,
    Jelena

    Are this errors going to affect our LMS 4.2 operations?
    Then we have upgraded to LMS 4.2.2 and exported data and credentiales for PI import.
    On PI 1.3 we have installed WCS 500 devices upgrade license and LMS 1500 upgrade license and now we are having 2000 devices lifecycle license. We have successfully restored WCS data in PI and we have imported LMS devices as bulk import. What is strange is that we have this message in prime regarding licensing:
    On LMS 3.2 our customer had saved unlimited number of configuration versioning. After upgrading to LMS 4.2 we can only see last 3 configurations regardless of unlimided number of configurations in previous LMS, so my question is where can we find older configurations in LMS 4.2?
    We are planning to turn unlimited versioning on CPI 1.3 now, so our customer will again have feature that they need. Do you have some experiance regarding disk space when all device configurations are stored forever?
    Thank you for your help.
    Regards,
    Jelena

  • Is VSS supported in Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2?

    Is VSS supported in Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2?

    VSS support (converting standalone switches into a VSS)  was introduced with LMS 3.0.1 if I remember well and it is still there in LMS 4.2 (Cisco Prime Infrastructure):
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_lan_management_solution/4.1/user/guide/configuration/configvss.html
    Config Mgmt is supported, also.
