Cisco Prime TFTP Server Question

Our organization recently installed Cisco Prime 1.3 on a Linux box.  I am used to using the older WCS which also had a built in TFTP server.  The old WCS was installed on a Windows Box and thus I was able to navigate to the TFTP server using Windows Explorer and the UNC path.  However, I cannot seem to access the TFTP server on the new Prime 1.3 server via that method.  I have verified that the TFTP and FTP servers are both enabled in Prime server settings and I have also verified that I can access the FTP port via a PC on the network and that the WLCs on the network are sucessfully backing up to the Prime TFTP server each night. 
How can I access the TFTP server to retrieve these WLC backups if needed?  

you need to enable root access.  then you can scp the files out of the directory easily enough.
from cli
root_enable
follow prompts
root
psswd - set password
should be abel to ssh as root at that point, if you can want to say it's /localdisk/tftp, or just ls /localdisk
HTH,
Steve

  • Cisco Prime syslog server

    Where are syslogs stored, if I point my devices to Cisco Prime acting as my syslog server? I am running 2.0
    thanks, Jerry

    Hi ,
    As of now , this feature is not available , I mean PI will not work as syslog server.
    Syslog messages received by  PI from managed devices are found under Monitor > Alarms and Events > Syslogs
    as you are using PI 2.2 , you will be able to see all device syslog messages (0-7 severity)
    That display will show you up to 200,000 messages at a time.

  • Cisco Prime NCS Mapping Question

    I am trying to setup maps within Cisco NCS for a building.
    I have done this many times in the past but it has always been with very straightforward rectangular maps.
    This time I have a building which is separated into two parts - an office area and a warehouse (high ceiling) type of area.
    The issue I am trying to get around is that they are connected through a long wall that  bends across the length of the entire structure (image below of whole space.)
    If I just use the below map for the entire dimensions of the building the problem is that I can only set one ceiling height which isnt the case at all since the warehouse ceiling is much higher than the office area.
    If I split these out and try to use two separate areas, I have to overlay them somehow to get them to line up properly, but then NCS gives me an error that the two areas are intersecting.
    I am kind of at a loss on how to proceed from here but maybe there is an easy solution I am missing.
    Anyone have any ideas on how to accomplish building this floor plan in NCS prime?  In the image below the L-shape turned on its side is the warehouse area.  And the office area is the lower part in an upside down Z shape.
    Thanks,
    Tim

    Well, now that I have upgraded to Prime Infrastructure I still face the same problem.
    Since it's been over a year I thought I'd see if anyone has come up with any people have any new ideas for me?
    Thanks,

  • Import local net users to Cisco Prime 1.2

    Hi,
    We have 4400 WLC that has about 400 local users configured under local net users and we are deploying Cisco Prime 1.2 in our company. Does anyone know how to import these users to Cisco prime? I was told that it could only be done manually like re entering all 400 entries to Cisco Prime! if this is the case it 'll be tedious.
    Thanks for any help.

    Hello,
    Complete the following steps to migrate data from WCS:
    1. Place the WCS export ZIP file (for example, wcs.zip) in a repository or folder (for example, repositories).
    2. Log in as the admin user and stop the Cisco Prime Infrastructure server by entering the ncs stop  command. Configure the FTP repository on the Cisco Prime Infrastructure  appliance using the repository command as shown in configuration  snippet below:
    pi-appliance/admin# configure
    pi-appliance/admin(config)# repository pi-ftp-repo
    pi-appliance/admin(config-Repository)# url ftp://209.165.200.227/backup
    pi-appliance/admin(config-Repository)# user ftp-user password plain ftp-user
    Note: Make sure the archived file is available with the show repository command.
    3. Enter the ncs migrate command in order to restore the WCS database.
    pi-appliance/admin# ncs migrate wcs-data wcs.zip repository pi-ftp-repo
    4. By default, no WCS events are migrated. Enter the ncs start  command in order to start the Cisco Prime Infrastructure server after  the upgrade is completed. Log in to the Cisco Prime Infrastructure user  interface with the root login and the root password.
    For mmore information you can refer to the cisco prime infrastructure deployment guide:

  • Questioned status in Fault Management for Cisco Prime 4.2

    Hi all,
    Need help in Cisco Prime 4.2. My device is stuck in Questioned state in Fault Management. The device though can be pinged from the server. Actually, I can already manage the device and have archived its configuration. Problem is, on Fault Monitoring Device Administration, its on Questioned state even though I already tried to rediscover the device several times.
    Do I need to configure something on the server like put in the IP address and hostname of the device in the host file of Windows Server 2008?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hi ,
    Is this happenning for just one particular device or for all of them ?
    If for a particular device  then Are you using SNMPv2 or SNMPv3 on your device ?
    Disable the Windows Firewall and ANTI-Virus on the serevr and Rediscover the device again.
    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.

    also :vmversion 4.1 and 5.1 both checked, hdd 256, scsi , memory 8 gig,

  • Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3 - TFTP backup WLC not working

    I don;t get the the background task "Controller Configuration Backup" working. I want to use default TFTP.
    When i look in the logging i see 2 of three WLC's succesfully backuped there logging. Is their a log file where you can see what is happening?
    With kind regards,
    Martijn.

    Hi Martijn:
    If you go to the controller's GUI to Commands > Upload File and manually trigger the TFTP Configuration backup, does the process complete as expected?  If not, whatever's causing that problem needs to be addressed first.
    When someone wants to do a config backup from the command line, they give a series of commands
    transfer download datatype config
    transfer download mode tftp
    transfer download serverip x.x.x.x
    transfer download path ./
    transfer download filename myBackup.cfg
    transfer download start
    The Controller Config Backup background task is just the SNMP version of "transfer download filename " and "transfer download start".  If these other required settings aren't already there, the task isn't going to set them (the humans have to).  If there's a problem with writing out the file on the server, or packet routing issues to get to the server, the task isn't going to see those things, it just knows that the answer to "transfer download start" wasn't "Okay!"
    As for watching this processing in logs, go to Administration > Logging, and set the logging level to Trace for the modules SNMP and System, and click Save.  Then kick off your backup attempt, allowing it to fail.  When it does, return to Administration > Logging, and click the Download button to retrieve the logs.zip file.  The activity should be in the ncs-x-x.log file. 
    If you don't have the new Update-1 patch for Prime Infrastructure 1.3.0.20 (filename PI_1.3.0.20_Update_1-12.tar.gz) installed, I'd suggest you get it.  While it's not going to specifically address this issue, there are a lot of really good fixes in it.

  • Configuring Cisco TFTP Server for CUCM

    Hi,
    I currently have a Publisher and two Subscriber (v 6.1.3), I have now gone over the magical 1250 devices where Cisco recommend a standalone TFTP server.
    I understand to deploy it I need to add it to the Publisher as a Server and then once up and running enable the Cisco TFTP service, then update the Option 150 address in my DHCP scope to point towards the new TFTP server.
    A couple of questions, does the TFTP server need the following installed at the same level as the Publisher/Subscribers:
    Dial Plans
    Device Packs
    Locales
    Thanks and any other comments appreciated.

    Hi Ian,
    - By architecture, the TFTP server would be the one pushing out the firmware load and  to the phones - so you would need your device packs, containing the bundle of firmware loads, to be on your standalone TFTP server.
    - locales install files which the phones get from the TFTP server, such as their dictionary - so you would need locales on the standalone TFTP server
    - Dial plans are files used by the CCM binary file. If you are not planning on running CCM service on the server ever, you don't need to install dial plans on that server.  However, as best practice, it is good to have dial plans, locales and device packs uploaded on this standalone TFTP server, in case the server roles were adjusted at a later point in time.

  • Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 on Windows Server/Hyper-V

    Hi Everyone,
    In Entriprise environment while designing a BYOD solution we need to integrate ISE3315 with CPI 1.2. I know that Cisco ISE software either runs on 3315 platform or other option is virtual appliance (which is VMware based). Now problem is that we have Hyper-V environment as standard so I need to go with ISE-3315. Here my concern is to I install CPI 1.2 on Hyper-V, or on a Windows Server (2008 or 2012) based machine. Is that doable?
    Any help, suggessions would be warmly welcomed.
    Thanks,
    Azhar...

    Cisco Prime LMS will slowly be phased out in favor of Cisco Prime Infrastructure and hence there are no new mainline releases are planned to provide support to new Hardware or virtualization support.
    However, Prime LMS do support Hyper V Virtualization (As an installable in Windows 2008). Please note that Virtualization technologies like, VMWare and Hyper V virtualization systems are not supported in LMS 5000, and LMS 10000 Devices license, in Windows. VMWare Systems are supported in LMS 5000, and LMS 10000 Devices license in Soft Appliance. Virtualization technologies like, VMWare and Hyper V virtualization systems are not supported in LMS 5000, and LMS 10000 Devices license, in Windows. VMWare Systems are supported in LMS 5000, and LMS 10000 Devices license in Soft Appliance.

  • Cisco Prime Infra 1.2 Web server

    Hello,
    I have installed a version of Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2.11 with a kickstart .ova file on my production network.
    Everything goes fine and I follow the instructions for installation ; i can ping my Cisco PI server and ssh into it as admin.
    However, when I try to reach the web server via https, it does not work. I have reviewed my proxy settings and they are not to blame. The nslookup returns the IP address when I poll it. I have read elsewhere that I would need "NCS" service to be started, but I can't find anything called NCS on my Prime Infra server in CLI mode.
    Anyone with a suggestion for this issue ?
    Thanks
    Jeremy

    Actually I know what's happening ; the PnP (plug n play) setup was not configured, and so 443 port was not up.
    I configured PnP using "pnp setup" command, but then I have to supply a list of certificates and keys :
    Enter absolute pathname of PnP Gateway server key file:
    Enter absolute pathname of PnP Gateway server certificate file:
    Enter absolute pathname of Prime Infrastructure server certificate file:
    I tried to do this with the private key I had for my server. I created it on my Certificate Authentication and got a .key and a .csr (certificate server request).
    However when i feed them to my PnP setup I get this error :
    Setup is in progress.......
    Stop PnP Gateway server
    OpenSSL command failed for mycert.csr and mykey.key
    any idea as to why this is happening?
    I read elswhere again that i need to run commands with "ncs" but I don't have "ncs" commands on my prompt...
    Thank you for your time

  • Can Cisco Prime Infra 2.1 work as syslog server

    Hello all,
        Customer want Cisco Prime Infra 2.1 to work as syslog server.  they want to query text in syslog and get raw log file from Cisco Prime Infra.  but when i see in user interface.  I think that it cannot query and search text in syslog.  but i am not sure whether we can get raw log file per devices from Cisco Prime Infra.   Can anyone know about this.?
    thanks
    sompoj

    Hi Sompoj,
    In the prime infrastructure Syslogs are directly read from udp port 514 and then filtered
    , the non SEV1 and SEV2 syslogs will be dropped and will not be entered into db . The
    syslog messages will not be saved into log files .
    Thanks-

    In addition to the release notes for the 4.2.3 patch noted above, please also see  the 4.2 release notes which further direct you:
    Server and Client Requirements
    For information on server and client requirements for the system and browser, see Chapter 2 of Installing and Migrating to Cisco Prime LAN Management Solution 4.2 at:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_lan_management_solution/4.2/install/guide/
    install.html
    To summarize the options it describes, you can run the LMS product on any number of platforms - a dedicated Cisco hardware appliance, a physical server of your own with Windows or Solaris OS, a VMware server with a Windows server OS guest, or a "soft appliance". The soft appliance is package built with the underlying guest OS (a customized RHEL distribution with Cisco's Application Development Environment OS (ADE-OS)) built-in.
    Once you have installed LMS 4.2, you should patch - first to 4.2.2 and then to the current 4,2,3. then run the software update feature to bring all package components up to date.
    Regarding licensing, there is a Cisco Prime Infrastructure Ordering and Licensing Guide here.
    When you order the licenses for PI 1.2 (new customer), you order the base product and then Lifecycle licenses (required for either PI 1.2 Lifecycle and LMS installations - which option is a customer choice) and, optionally, Compliance and Assurance licenses. An upgrade order for an existing LMS customer will include the base PI 1.2 with Lifecycle licenses as well as LMS in a single SKU as noted in tables 4 and 5 of the Ordering Guide.
