  • ASA 1000v controlled by Prime Network Services Controller

    I have a problem with a ASA 1000v which is controlled by the Prime Network Services Controller. I made a Policy for one port-profile which a server is connected. I configured nat and I am able to reach hosts on the Outside Network.
    Somehow I would like to limit the traffic to certain ports. So I made a ACL which looks like this
    I would guess that this give me a ACL which permits only SSH to 192.168.1.1. But instead it gives me a ip 192.168.2.2 192.168.1.1 ACL on the ASA.
    Has anybody a clou on how to do this?

    I found the answer. The ACL must look like this then it will work :)

  • 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 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 Infra 2.1 fails to import an image from file

    We have a standard Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1 install. The software repository has been built up by importing the IOS images from the discovered network devices. To implement netflow capabilities on some 3750X switches we need to upgrade the IOS on the chassis and the NM card C3KX-SM10G. I was able to download from Cisco Support the 3750X IOS .tar file and import it from my machines local file system. However, the modules tar file c3kx-sm10g-tar.150-2.SE6.tar fails on the upload from my local file system. When I look at the import rob results they are as follows:
      Image collection from source     SUCCESS
      Copying Image to Staging Location     SUCCESS
      Copying Image to Repository     FAILURE
    I've tried to import just the .bin file but this also fails at the same stage as above.
    I've also tried to scp the file directly into the backend file structure with no success into the folder /opt/CSCOlumos/conf/ifm/swim/jobs with the other images (oddly noticed the above .tar file for the 3750X isn't listed with the other .bin files - although is available through the webGUI).
    I need to distribute the NM .tar file across multiple switches and I'd prefer to use Cisco Prime for the job. Any help would be gratefully received.
    Thanks.

    I had (still have?) the same problem with it not copying the image over. I put in a ticket and they told me to upgrade to Prime Infrastructure 2.1-Device Pack 4  pi_2.1device_packs_4-40.ubf which helped but it still fails sometimes.
    I had read a post from another thread about going through software image management to distribute and that seems to work a little better, but still fails sometimes. 
    So I think that there are still quite a few issues in Prime that need worked out.
    We have over many switches that need software upgrades and I was hoping to do it quickly through Prime but I don't want to send out more then one image at a time to switch because I don't want it to fail. So it's a drawback right now, just doing one at a time to make sure it takes.

  • Cisco Prime 2.1: Not writing running config after template deployment

    I have noticed that Prime is not writing the running config after CLI template deployments.  I deployed a changeset to over 1100 devices the other night and noticed that the configs had not been written the startup config.
    I did some testing today and am using the following CLI template:
    #MODE_ENABLE
    copy running-config startup-config
    #MODE_END_ENABLE
    All tests failed.  I found the syntax for enable mode from the following link:
    http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/net_mgmt/prime/infrastructure/2-0/user/guide/prime_infra_ug/create_temps.html#31705
    Any ideas on why it isn't writing the configs by default or how to force it through a template?

    I've got a little bit more information for you on this.  If you were to login to a switch, enter enable mode and type "copy running-config startup-config" and press ENTER you'd see this:
    Destination filename [startup-config]?
    You'd then read the documentation and think to yourself "Self, I better use the following syntax in my CLI template"
    #INTERACTIVE
    copy running-config startup-config<IQ>Destination filename [startup-config]?<R>startup-config
    #ENDS_INTERACTIVE
    But in Cisco's world, I guess that just doesn't make any sense at all.  Why use the actual interactive question when you can simply just use the first word (even though all of their examples show multi-word interactive questions).  The correct syntax would then be:
    #INTERACTIVE
    copy running-config startup-config<IQ>Destination<R>startup-config
    #ENDS_INTERACTIVE
    #START_SARCASM
    Duh!  It's so obvious.  Why in the world would one ever think anything other than that you would simply take the first word in the interactive question and just leave it at that.  I feel so stupid
    #ENDS_SARCASM

  • Cisco Prime 2.1.2 auto sync config for switches and Routers

    thanks!

    Make sure you have completed the recommended preparation steps given in Before You Begin Installing the Patch.
    If you are not using the Prime Infrastructure High Availability (HA) feature, follow the steps in Installing the Patch instead of the steps below.
    If your current Prime Infrastructure implementation has High Availability enabled, follow the steps below to install the patch. You must start the patch installation with the primary server in “Primary Active” state and the secondary server in “Secondary Syncing” state.
    Patching of the primary and secondary servers takes approximately one hour. During that period, both servers will be down. If you have trouble at any point, see Troubleshooting Patch Installs in HA Implementations.
    Step 1 Ensure that your HA implementation is enabled and ready for update:
    a. Log in to the primary server using an ID with Administrator privileges.
    b. Select Administration > System Settings > High Availability , The primary server state displayed on the HA Status page should be “Primary Active”.
    c. Select HA Configuration . The current Configuration Mode should show “HA Enabled”.
    d. The Failover Type must be set to “Manual” throughout the patch installation. If Failover Type is currently set to “Automatic”, select “Manual” and then click Save .
    e. Access the secondary server’s Health Monitor (HM) web page by pointing your browser to the following URL:
    https:// <ServerIP> :8082
    where ServerIP is the IP address or host name of the secondary server.
    f. You will be prompted for the authentication key entered when HA was enabled. Enter it and click Login .
    g. Verify that the secondary server state displayed on the HM web page is “Secondary Syncing”.
    Step 2 Download the patch:
    a. Point your browser to the software patches listing for Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1.
    b. Click the Download button for the Release 2.1.2 patch file (pi212_20141118_01.ubf), and save the file locally.
    Step 3 Install the patch on the secondary server:
    a. Access the secondary server’s HM web page by pointing your browser to the following URL:
    https:// <ServerIP> :8082
    where ServerIP is the IP address or host name of the secondary server.
    b. You will be prompted for the authentication key entered when HA was enabled. Enter it and click Login .
    c. Choose the HM web page’s Software Update link. You will be prompted for the authentication key a second time. Enter it and click Login again.
    d. Click Upload Update File and browse to the location where you saved the patch file.
    e. Click OK to upload the patch file.
    f. When the upload is complete: On the Software Upload page, verify that the Name, Published Date and Description of the patch file are correct.
    g. Select the patch file and click Install . When the installation is complete, you will see a popup message confirming this.
    h. After the installation is complete on the secondary server, verify that the Software Updates page shows:
    – In the “Installed” column: A “Yes” opposite the listing for this patch.
    – In the “Pending Restart” column: A “Yes” for the secondary server. Do not restart the secondary server at this point.
    Step 4 Install the patch on the primary server:
    a. Log in to the primary server using an ID with administrator privileges and choose Administration > Software Update .
    b. Click Upload Update File and browse to the location where you saved the patch file.
    c. Click OK to upload the patch file.
    d. When the upload is complete: On the Software Upload page, verify that the Name, Published Date and Description of the patch file are correct.
    e. Select the patch file and click Install . When the installation is complete, you will see a popup message confirming this.
    f. After the installation is complete on the primary server, verify that the Software Update page shows:
    – In the “Installed” column: A “Yes” opposite the listing for this patch.
    – In the “Pending Restart” column: A “Yes” for the primary server. Do not restart the primary server at this point.
    Step 5 Stop the servers in the following sequence, using the commands explained in Running Commands:
    a. On the secondary server, run the ncs stop command.
    b. On the primary server, run the ncs stop command.
    Step 6 Re-start and monitor the servers in the following sequence, using the commands explained in Running Commands:
    a. On the secondary server, run:
    – The ncs start command to restart the secondary server. Wait for the processes on the secondary to restart.
    – The ncs status command to verify that the processes on the secondary have re-started.
    – The ncs ha status command to verify that the secondary state is “Secondary Lost Primary”.
    b. Once the secondary server is in “Secondary Lost Primary” state: On the primary server, run:
    – The ncs start command to restart the primary server. Wait for the processes on the primary to restart.
    – The ncs status command to verify that the primary’s Health Monitor and other processes have re-started.
    Once all the processes on the primary are up and running, automatic HA registration will be triggered. This normally completes after a few minutes.
    Step 7 Once registration completes, verify the patch installation as follows:
    a. Run the ncs ha status command on both the primary and secondary servers. You should see the primary server state change from “HA Initializing” to “Primary Active”. You should see the secondary server state change from “Secondary Lost Primary” to “Secondary Syncing”.
    b. Log in to the primary server and access its Software Update page as you did earlier. The “Installed” column should show “Yes” and the “Pending Restart” column should show “No” for the installed patch.
    c. Access the secondary server’s Health Monitor page as you did earlier. The “Installed” column should show “Yes” and the “Pending Restart” column should show “No” for the installed patch.

  • 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.

  • Cisco Prime Network Analysis Module (NAM) 5.1

    Hi I have NAM-2 with software version 4.2 installed in my network and i am making very good use of these module for troublshooting,
    I can run multiple captures files at local disk simultaneously and i can decode real time any capture file which is running.
    I want to clarify following things,
    I upgraded one of my NAM2 from 4.2 to 5.1 but i see following differences,
    I cannnot do multiple captures at local disk simultaneously. it is not allowing me to create 2nd capture at localdisk while one is already running while in 4.2 version i can run multiple captures to local disk.
    Its mean if i have 40G local disk, it's mean, it become reserved for one capture untill i stop and save there,
    Also i cannot decode running capture file real time untill i stop.
    I would apprecite if someone can clarify, whether it was enhancement in NAM 5.1?
    Configuring Capture Sessions
    You can create up to ten capture sessions, and only one capture session per disk (local or external).
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/network_analysis_module_software/5.0_1_T/user/guide/capting.html#wp1252570

    NAM 5.x removes the ability to perform multiple captures to a single local disk because that results in unreliable capture behavior (packets may or may not be dropped depending on whether the disk can keep up with the data rate).
    You should still be able to decode memory captures while running. For disk captures, the capture file must not be in use (i.e., for a multi-file capture, you can decode any file other than the one currently being written to).

  • Cisco Prime LMS 4.1 Failed Software Distribution

  • 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
