Cisco Prime - non Cisco devices

Hi
We have started using Cisco Prime for our network management. On our sites we have a few devices managed by other vendors which are non cisco devices, we would like to keep these in the diagrams on cisco prime but since we don't manage them we don't want them to use up our licenses.
Is there a way to retain the device info maybe as a note or something on the side of the diagram without the device using up a seat in the license?

Which Prime? LMS or Infrastructure? ..or one of the others.
LMS for example doesn't ever display a non-Cisco device in the Topology view. It does limited management of non-Cisco devices and they do not consume device licenses.

Non-Cisco devices support in LMS 4.1

Hi! How i could import third party MIB file for my devices? Is there any guide/manual for working with non-cisco devices?

Specifically which module are you talking about?
The most flexibile module is HUM which has support for third party devices
Most modules do not support non cisco devices, compelte list is here:

What non cisco devices can be monitored by MARS

We are in the process or purchasing the MARS 110R and was wondering what other non cisco devices on our network can be monitored by MARS for intance our exchange servers.

You can monitor the security event logs (as well as most other windows event logs) using MARS. I'm not sure it understands Exchange specific event logs, but it should be able to parse the normal authentications that take place in an Exchange environment (and are logged to the security event log). Here is the list:

Auto Smartports with non-Cisco devices

I have used auto smartports in the past and have been successful creating macros that use mac-addresses.
My question is can I create a macro that works with non-Cisco devices that are CDP capable?
We have Motorolla access points that use CDP and I would like to use auto smartports to put them on their own VLANs.
Can it be done using CDP? What version of the IOS would I need to be on? Currently the 3750-Xs are on 12.2.(55).
Are there any guides or configuration examples? I've searched but have been unsuccessful in find anything so far.
I have seen some articles that reference device sensors and device profiles, but have no idea where to begin.
Thanks in advance for your support.

You may need to create a Cisco TAC case for this.
If not, then move this thread to the EEM section. If the Moto AP supports CDP then you can get someone (like Joe Clark) to build a small EEM script.
EEM is supported up to the 3560/3750.

Can WAE be integrated with non-cisco devices?

So far, all documentation that I read, WAE is used in conjunction with Cisco devices. Can WAE be integrated with non-cisco devices?
I guess, In-line mode should work ok, but how about off-path mode? An example or link will be appreciated.
Thanks!
Joe

Hi Joe,
It should be possible to use WAAS with non-cisco routers, as long as they support WCCP.
There are no documents on this because, the configuration from WAAS point of view would be the same, and the router configuration would depend on the vendor.

CiscoWorks LMS 4.1, syslog analyzer parsing non-Cisco device.

Hello.
Can Syslog Analyzer parse syslog messages coming from a Non-Cisco device?
I'm trying to parse message from a HP Virtual Connect module without success.
Thanks.
Andrea

Hi Andrea,
You could use syslog-ng to write a generic mnemonic into the message and forward it to LMS.
Something like:
syslog-ng->add fac-sev-mne: message->lms
However, I would also caution you that LMS is *not* meant to be a "syslog" manager - there are usually way to many syslog messages in most environments for it to handle that many - which is why most syslog managers are standalone servers.
In order to make sure that the NMS systems that syslog-ng forward messages to receive the correct source, syslog-ng needs to be compiled with the source spoof option. This will allow messages received on other NMS’s (such as LMS) to appear to come from the original devices rather than from the syslog-ng server.
Compiling from source:
Install the syslog-ng prerequisites from Balabit
You must configure syslog-ng with --enable-spoof-source in order to enable the spoof source feature (which is disabled by default).
./configure --enable-spoof-source
make && make install
If you run into any issues during the installation, you can refer to the syslog-ng forum or you can refer to the syslog-ng knowledge base
Lastly, here's a great paper on syslog management:

Syslog server for Monitoring Cisco devices

I am looking for Syslog server to log all logs from Cisco devices. We have more than 800 cisco devices. Can anyone tell me what syslog server should i use to log these files.
Thank you.

Has anyone used the Cisco recommendation of Buliding Scalable Syslog Solutions?

I used this in another organaztion and we were very successful, we currenlty use Netcool that feeds from a syslog and we get several non-actionable alarms and it's very time consuming for 13,000 devices. I would only like to alert on 0-5 Cisco Syslog messages. Below is the response from my Netcool Administrator (What are your thoughts?):
From my Netcool Administrator:
Regarding, using the Cisco syslog severity for alert control, I feel that is not the best way to control the work in Netcool.
1. -- Cisco is not consistent with the use of this value.
    Examples:
        In this case the important message is the lower severity alert: I would consider the BGP-3-NOTIFICATION of a 6 level of Informational

Unable to open 2 9509 switches at the same time in Cisco Device Manager

Dear Friends,
There are a pair of MDS 9509 switches whose management addresses are 172.16.2.197 and 172.16.2.198.
When we try to manage these Devices through Cisco device manager, the first device opens up without any problem, but when the second 9509 is opened in Cisco Device Manager, it fails giving the following error message:
"Open udp transport failed: Address already in use: Cannot bind"
To get around this issue, if we close the first interface to the 9509 switch, then we are able to open up the second 9509 in Device Manager.
We have this problem only in Cisco device manager. If we open one switch in Cisco device manager and the other switch in Cisco Fabric Manager, it works.
Also, we can telnet to both the devices successfully at a time.
The device manager in use is 4.1.
Please find enclosed the sh version outputs for your kind reference.
Can you please help me understand the cause of this issue?
Thanks a lot
Gautam

Is it always the same MDS that fails to open, or can you open either one first, and then the second one poses the problem (no matter which one is second)?
Can you try from a second work station and see if you can open DM to both switched at the same time? I suspect the address it is complaining about is the local workstation IP, not the MDS IP.
If you open the FM map, then you click on the MDS ICONs, can you open DM to both MDS?

Archive process hung on all cisco devices - help

I have Archive setup on all of my devices in the enviornment to archive configs via tftp to a server on the network. A team mate of mine elected to down that box because the "did no know what it was." Now I have a process hung on every one of my cisco devices that is preventing the archive from performing. I am hoping to find a way to stop this process short of a rebuild of every on of my devices.

ISE version 1.0 - Unable to get management access for cisco devices

Hi All,
I want to manage all cisco devices with read and write privilege with ISE 1.0.
Is this functionality is available in this version?
I configured the 2960 switch. On switch redius test is successful. When I telnet to the switch, it ask for username and password. But message is authorization fail. But on ISE shows authentication is successful.
Is it configuration issue or this feature is not available in this version?
Regards,
Hanumant

Hanumant,
You will have to create an authorization profile to send back the privilege level for the user:
Here is the attribute (cisco-av-pair) you will have to send back:
shell:priv-lvl=xx

Automatic back up on Cisco devices

I am planned to do the automatic configuration on all my network devices.. I had successfully implemented automatic back up configuration on Router and switches with krone policy. But i am not able to configure the same on ACS,ACE & ASA firewall and ISE.
all are cisco devices. I can able to configure krone policy on ACS but back up was not working,   kindly suggest how to configure automatic back up on above said devices.

    archive command we had bug in cisco. It not taking the back up correctly as per time configuration. Right i am looking freeware to take the back up locally with my windows machine.
   Marvin option was good. But we need linux server( VM need to create) and also network not much aware of linux commands. So its difficult for us implement with out much knowledge about Linux.
I had implemented krone policy but its working fine for router and switch only then i had problem to take back up of ACS,ISE,ACE and firewall . The automatic back up tool should be unique.

Which cisco device to register a 7921g to?

what cisco devices are capables to register a 7921g wifi ip phone?
I think I can do it wiht a uc520 for example, but, there would be any other smaller device?
I have a cisco srp527 wich gives me dsl conection, and I´m trying to connect it with some cisco device which I can register the 7921g against.
I would appreciate some advice
Thank you in advance
Javier

If you have a cisco router that runs CME (Call Manager Xpress) then you can register your 7921 on to it
Here are the basic steps for that

How can I restore out of box configuration on Cisco device?

Hello,
The new Cisco devices (routers and switches) are coming with some default (out of box) configuration, but not without configuration, not with blank configuration.
I realized that there is some command that can restore thе default configuration. But I can't find it.
What is this command? Anyone does it know?
Thanks in advance!
Best Regards,
Tsvety

Mike's suggestion was correct. I would only add that one needs to erase vlan.dat if you have a switch that was used elsewhere. Cisco procedure linked here (for switches) and here (for routers).
Even a brand new factory-fresh box will have SOME configuration bits on it. A skeleton configuration - the default VLAN 1, empty interface definitions, etc. will always be there. The only way to remove everything would be to erase flash altogether forcing one to boot in rommon (not very useful).
