Cisco Prime - User Tracking for N5K

Hi,
We are using Cisco Prime LMS 4.2.4. It isn't getting any user tracking information from our Nexus 5K's. Should it be able to?

Indeed.
As I noted and Arfroz confirmed, the User Tracking functionality requires the target device supports the SNMP-BRIDGE-MIB. If that is important to you, then an upgrade is in order.
It's not a big deal to upgrade - just schedule some downtime and knock it out. The actual upgrade process only takes about 15 minutes per Nexus 5k. I usually schedule 1-2 hours for a pair of them just to allow myself time for some testing (and backout if necessary). I've done about dozen or two 5k upgrades and never had a problem yet - it's a very straightforward process.

Does Cisco Prime have support for HP Access Points?

I am trying to sell a solution to a client with dozens of large warehouses with a large existing HP wireless solution. I want to sell them on a Cisco wireless solution involving Prime to manage/monitor their current HP Access Points while we do a phased replacement to Cisco WLC and APs.
I cannot find listed in the documentation whether Cisco Prime has support for the HP access points though. I see it has 'some' support listed for some Aruba controllers, but not anything else.

Prime will only support products with a "Cisco" logo.
Note: Prime 2.2 will start supporting Meraki product.

LMS User Tracking for NEXUS 5548UP

Dear,
A while ago I received a ticket from one of our customers because User Tracking was not working for NEXUS 5548UP on LMS 3.2. I opened a TAC case for this but this was normal since it is a Datacenter switch. Now the customer came back on this because they really want to see which server is connected to which switch port. I understood from the TAC engineer this is not on the roadmap to integrate in LMS 4.x. They want to know if there exists another product (they thought about DCNM) and wanted to know how this integrates or works together with LMS...
Kind regards,
Sven Laureyssens

My latest understanding of User Tracking and Nexus 5K series is that it is not supported due to a limitation of the MIB support in the NX-OS.
The current DCNM (release 5.2) is distinct from the LMS and Cisco Prime umbrella but that wil be changing a bit moving forwad as DCNM is enhanced and rolled into the Cisco Prime family. Last I heard there should be some information coming out of Cisco Live this week and a new release will have some additional functionality and better integration. Still, I doubt we'll see UT for the 5K due to the NX-OS limitation.
One way to do what you're asking apart from use of any of the Cisco products is to enable LLDP on your Nexus and servers. That will at least give you the ability to pull the information from the NX-OS command line ("show lldp neighbor")

LMS 4.2 User Tracking for Avaya IP Handsets and Connected Devices

I manage an environment that makes extensive use of Avaya IP phones and it's frustrating that this seems to limit the usefulness of the User Tracking application within LMS.
We configure the switch (2960) ports connected to the handsets as dot1q trunks with the associated PC being connected to the switch built into the phone.
Having done some forum research it seems that UT only adds an entry for a device connected on a trunk port if it is a Cisco IP phone, not anything else. This is frustrating as it eliminates a large part of our network from being recorded in UT and is doubley frustrating since the PC connected to the switch on the phone also isn't recorded.
Is there any way to get around this problem that anybody is aware of? Thanks

As long as you have a supported Cisco Layer 3 device in your LMS-management domain, you should be able to correlate the IP-MAC addresses in User Tracking (UT).
UT support is not specifically listed for the ASA firewall - I'm not sure it will support that feature if it is the users' gateway.
Useful links:
UT explanation from the LMS Admin Guide
Supported devices listing
Hope this helps.

Cisco Prime NCS - Alarms for Channel Utilization

Hello,
I have Prime NCS 1.3 with several WLCs (5508, 2504, etc.) configured.
I would like to receive an e-mail alert when an AP reached high channel utlization. Is this possible with Prime NCS? In checking, I don't see any way to create customized events or alarms. I have monitoring templates, but they do not directly apply to wireless statistics.
David

Thanks for your response. Maybe there's another approach what I am trying to do. I need to know when an AP is providing poor client performance due to events like high channel utilization, high transmit/receive rates, etc. I would like to receive an alert when a condition like this exists.
Is there a way to get an alert on these kinds of events? The primary mechanism for alerts seems to be based on SNMP traps from the WLC to Prime. My 5508 (on v7.2.111.3) GUI shows the following for AP traps, which is limited:
AP Register, AP Up/down, AP Authorization. It also shows some very limited client events like Client Association, Client Authentication.

Cisco Prime 2.0 - Nexus clients not discover

Dear all,
I've installed a Cisco Prime infrastructure 2.0 and it's working perfectly except for Nexus 7k : I canot see the wired client connected (useful for traking) while it's working fine on many other devices. The devices are managed with an inventoy collection completed (No data vailable in Device Details/ clients / current associated wired clients).
any idea ?
regards,
vincent.

Hi Vincent,
I have this problem too. I found this related information about supporting "clients and Users" for Nexus in PI2.x/LMS4.2.4.:
Cisco Prime LMS 4.2.4 - User Tracking for N5K: https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/12155236/cisco-prime-user-tracking-n5k, User Tracking require the SNMP-BRIDGE-MIB on the target device(s). That was introduced in NX-OS 6.02 on the Nexus 5000 platform.
LMS 42 user tracking: https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/11605281/lms-42-user-tracking.
Nexus 7k and 5K in LMS 3.2.1. “When adding the Nexus devices to DCR, provide the “netadmin SNMP RO credential”. When other SNMP RO credential is provided, user tracking will not collect end host data. The Nexus device should be running NXOS 5.1(1), 5.1(3) or later. 5.1(2) is not supported.
Configure the device to map community with context using the below command: snmp-server context vrf, snmp-server mib community-map context
Please let us know what the progress is of the TAC case. I'm very interested.

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.

LMS3.2 User Tracking IP Phones Discovery Doesn't Work

I am having difficulty getting the User tracking for IP Phones to work correctly in Ciscoworks LMS 3.2.
Callmanager is version 7.1.5.10000-12. Campus manager version is 5.2.1
The Callmanager publisher and two subscribers are all showing as application servers with green icons under the topology services view.
The callmanagers show as CDP neighbours on the switches to which they are connected.
I can do an SNMP walk of the ccmPhoneTable from the Ciscoworks devicecenter and get a ton of returned data.
The IP phones are discovered as end hosts and have mac address and IP address info when checked in the User Tracking utility.
Callmanager sysObjectID = OID: CISCO-PRODUCTS-MIB::ciscoMCS7835I
Any help you could give with troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Rob

Thanks Nick,
I had seen that document and been through the processes
The mac and IP addresses of the ip phone are discovered.
The callmanagers are discovered and have green application server icons in the topolgy view
I can do an snmpwalk of the ccmPhoneTable OID and get returned data (as per this post by JClarke https://supportforums.cisco.com/message/664859#664859)
I can't do an snmpwalk of the ccmPhoneExtension as described in that document but I assume that since it applies to campus manager 3.2 and 3.3 that it is a bit dated and not relevant to later versions of callmanager.
I think that I have covered all the basic cdp/snmp and discovery issues. Any suggestions on where to go from here would be appreciated.

Rob

Campus User Tracking Quick report of wan location

Hi All,
I have one WAN location for which I am not getting campus user tracking for the end host.
I added all the WAN location switches in cisco works and getting logging report. But when
I tried to pull up end host report via IP ADDRESS or hostname it says end host not found.
Any help would be appriciated.
Thanks in advance.
Samir

Do the end hosts show up by MAC? Can you search for end hosts based on the remote switch name or IP? In order for UT to display IP information, the ARP cache of the remote router needs to be populated and pollable via SNMP. That means the remote router needs to be managed by Campus Manager.

Financial Reports User Tracking

Hi Guys
Can any one tell me how to track the user login, report modification, creation and deletion kind of activities in FR--System 9.X??
Appreciate your inputs..
Thanks
Jagan

Thanks for your response.
Can you explain how can we set up this user tracking for FR and WA reports. I think this usage tracking is only for IR reports.
Really appreciate if you can share your experiance on this...

Cisco Prime Configuration Archive on Interface Flap

Hey All,
We've been using Cisco Prime 2.1 for a bit now and I have a question about the configuration archive based on change events. Will Cisco Prime go and attempt to perform a config backup based on an interface flap? Looking at the audit logs it appears that it does that (see attachment). Is this a default behavior and does anyone see any benefit to this? It seems like if an interface is flapping it will continuously log into the device to see if the configuration has changed.
Brian

Hi Brian,
I don't think configuration achieve can be triggered due to interface flap ,however if there is any change in the configuration yes PI can do the config Archive
Go to Administration > System Settings > Configuration Archive
Archive Configuration on receiving configuration change events? Check box this option
Thanks-
Afroz

Cisco Prime - Can I ping sweep devices to wake them up before the devices are acquired in User Tracking

I have some devices on my network (printers and security cameras) that go to sleep and do not show up in the ARP table under I ping them. Is there any way in Cisco Prime (before User tracking is acquired) to do some sort of ping sweep? If I do not "wake up" these devices in some way, then they do not show up in User Tracking.

Just set up the connection and it should not effect your connection to your pc

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
System Welcome screen appears:
