Cisco Prime Network Control System (NCS) - Reports

Hiya Supporters !
Just wonder how to make a report showing me which AP's in my setup that NEVER have any associated clients on, and/or over a given period of time, like 1 or months.
seems like I can get some reports under :
reports - report launch pad - clients
but i can not get clients count = 0 by "AP name"
anyone know how ?
I use WLC's versions 7.0.116 and NCS 1.0.2.29 appliance on ESX

mbilgrav,
There is a command on the NCS CLI that looks interesting:
# ncs db reinitdb
wilab-ncs/admin# ncs db ?  reinitdb  Reinitialize NCS database by dropping all the tables
DISCLAIMER: I'm not a database guy, I've never used this command, and I have no idea what the ramifications are (I've searched and haven't found much). If you do decide to try it, snapshot/backup first and proceed at your own risk.
UPDATE: Curiousity got the best of me and I ran this command on my own lab NCS. I can confirm that this wipes out the NCS database completely and dumps you back to defaults. All user accounts except root are deleted, along with maps, devices and settings. The only thing that appears to be preserved is licensing. So... this could be useful if you wanted to re-attempt a WCS database migration: You could delete the offending AP entry within WCS first, then migrate your db over to NCS and presumably it would import without this AP record. That's assuming you came over from WCS in the first place, which I don't think you mentioned.
Other than that, you could try TAC. It sounds like a corrupt database entry or a bug to me, so maybe they can give you a sql query that will clear it out from the CLI or something.
If it were my system, I would snapshot/backup the 1.0 installation and then upgrade to 1.1. If you don't like the upgrade or if it breaks anything, you can restore your 1.0 snapshot.
Please let us know if/how you are able to resolve the issue.
Justin

  • Cisco Prime Network Control System Health Monitor Reflected XSS

    Apologies for the n00b question,
    I am a security manager not a Cisco guru so please bear with me
    Our Nessus scanner has picked this vulnerability up
    Nessus states that there is no fix
    Looking on Cisco's bug search the status is set to fixed, 
    https://tools.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCud18375
    I found this article on Cisco's website
    Multiple Vulnerabilities in the WLSE Appliance - Cisco 2011-12-10
    There are two vulnerabilities that exist in the CiscoWorks Wireless LAN Solution Engine (WLSE). The first is a cross site scripting (XSS) vulnerability that may allow an attacker to gain administrative privileges on the system. The second is a local privilege escalation vulnerability that can be used by an attacker who already has authenticated access to the command line interface to obtain access to the underlying operating system. Cisco has made free software available to address this vulnerability for affected customers. This advisory is available at http://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-20060419-wlse
    Is WLSE part of WCS or am I grasping at straws here? Our techies don't seem to think so
    We are currently running CISCO Wireless Controller System (WCS) running on Version 7.0.240.0 which is end of life
    Is there an upgrade path for newer software?
    Has anyone else encountered this issue
    http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/830316

    1. Its possible but some sort of lock/bug is preventing the removal of the controller. Is the controller reachable? Have you attempted to restart NCS to see if you are able to remove the controller afterwards?
    2. 8510 not supported on NCS, you must upgrade to Cisco Prime 1.3.x or higher.
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/prime/infrastructure/1.3/release/notes/cpi_rn_13.html#wp86690
    3.  Follow the upgrade steps for all information regarding patches and migration path:

  • Prime network control system appliance (NCS)

    Hi,
    i have a new cisco prime network control system appliance (NCS)
    I completed the initial installation however post installation it performed a reboot and is now stuck at Init Level 3.
    I have restarted the machine several time but the same result.

    Umm a new appliance should have had the application pre-installed. Were you upgrading?
    In either case, you'll probably need to open a TAC case. Even without Smartnet you should have at least 90-day warranty support

  • Cisco Network Control System software

    As far as I know, the NCS is an appliance. But today some people told me that he has a copy of Cisco's Network Control System software. I am confused. If what he said is true, can I install the software on the Windows platforms like Win2003 or Win2008?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Cisco Prime network and cisco prime infrastructure

    Hi,
    What is the difference between Cisco Prime Network and Cisco Prime infrastructure.
    Please advice.

    I assume you are asking about Cisco Prime LAN Management System (LMS) vs. Cisco Prime Infrastructure (PI).
    LMS is currently the leading Cisco offering for wired infrastructure management. It is the evolution of the earlier CiscoWorks LMS, CiscoWorks RWAN CiscoWorks 2000, CWSI, VLAN Director, original CiscoWorks classic etc. products going back almost 20 years.
    PI is the equivalent Cisco offering for wireless LANs and is the successor to NCS and WCS products.
    The overlap and confusion comes from the fact the Cisco is positioning PI as the overall wireless and wired management platform and gradually introducing wired network management features to make it equal (and eventually exceed) LMS's capabilities.
    There is a comparison table here that shows the current differences. A major new release of PI (2.0) is due out shortly which will close many (but not all) of the gaps on that table.

  • Cisco Prime Network 4.0

    Hi,          
    Has someone installed Cisco Prime Network on another distribution than Redhat ? I want to install a local demo and I have only RedHat trial.
    What is the optimal mode of installation Prime Network ? Unit  + GW and DB on the same machine? I would like to install in the same machine, but
    I´m not sure if it will run ok.
    If this is the optimal assembly mode, which is the required bandwidth between  Unit, Gw and DB.?
    Thanks.
    Regards.

    I found the solution is to restart network control services in Prime Network and restart control services in Prime Central from the Linux OS

  • Cisco Prime LMS compared to NCS

    What is the difference between the 2.  Can NCS do the same as LMS, but with support for wireless.

    LMS and NCS will be merged in the next release, most likely in the coming few months. So the "LMS VS NCS" issue will be moot.
    "LMS Vs other monitoring tools" is a huge question. It really depends on what you have in your infrastructure and what you want to do with your network management system.
    If you're multi-vendor, LMS falls short as it is 98% designed for all-Cisco systems. On the other hand, few (or no) competitors offer the breadth of solution for a Cisco LAN infrastructure that LMS does. Also, LMS will of course have access to internal development resources and systems that no other vendor will ever offer. If LMS has a bug or IOS has a bug, it's one vendor who needs to fix it - no finger-pointing.
    Many people use Solarwinds, for example. To begin to approach LMS, one would need both Solarwinds NPM and NCM. Even then you would not have the topology service or workflow that LMS gives you. You would also not have CiscoView. Likewise HP OpenView NNM falls short. As does What's Up Gold. They all do their intended function well - they just don't have the breadth of services built-in for a Cisco shop.
    If all you need is configuration file management / archiving, then sure stand up an open source RANCID installation. It might be a bit cruder and require more Linux admin skills but it's perfectly functional. You won't get any support and that's all it does, but it does it in a workable fashion.
    If all you need is performance management, use Cacti.
    If all you need is fault management, use Nagios.
    If you need fault and performance and are multi-vendor, use NPM.
    If you need it all wrapped together and are a Cisco shop, use LMS.

  • Cisco Prime Infrastructure - Is there a report of unused switch ports?

    Hello,
    Is there a report in Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.4 showing the unused switch ports?
    There used to be one in Cisco Prime LMS (Reclaim Unused Up/Down Ports Report).
    Thank you,
    Luke

    Hello,
    I now have Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 running, and I don't see a report like the "Reclaim Unused Up/Down Ports" report that existed in LMS.
    I found one called "Interface Capacity", but it only shows the number of ports that are "connected", "notconnect" or "disabled".
    Does anyone know if a report of Unused ports exists in Prime Infrastructure 2.0 or if it will be available later on?
    Thank you,
    Luke
