CiscoWorks and LongReachEthernet LRE

hi ,
I have Cisco works with Campus Manager 3.1 ,Resource Manager Essentials 3.3 ,
The problem is : CiscoWorks 2000 couldnot be able to discover the 2912 LRE switch !!!!
I checked the supported devices in Campus Manager , LRE switches not their
also , I couldnot find anything about how to make the Ciscoworks2000 discover the Long Reach Ethernet switches ...
PLZ any one have Idea about this ...
Note that in the newest versions ..also there is no support for LRE
thanks

I couldnot find the Obiect ID , but this is the Model number: WS-C2912-LRE-XL
In the CiscoWorks ver 4 I saw that this device is not supported , even in ver 5 .
I hope if there is some patch I can add to the ciscoworks for LRE switches ..
aha, I found also in addition to LRE switches these Modules also cannot be found by the campus manager :
1- Gigabi ethernet Module (RJ-45) : WS-C6516-GE-TX
2- Escon Card for VXR router : PA-4C-E
I dont know if there is something to do with these modules!!!!!!!!
best regards

Integration of Ciscoworks and HP Openview (aka Service Manager)

I want to integrate ciscoworks and HPOV by pushing the databse on ciscoworks to HPOV. Are there any how-to doco?
Thanks very much for your time.

Hi Zavdat,
You can integrate solman with any kind of third party tool, We done even obscure 3rd party products.
These are the very promissing blog, which was indeed helped on our configuration

CiscoWorks and 10 Gigabit Switch Blades

Greetings!
Does CiscoWorks support 10 gigabit blades for IBM blade centers? We have two of these and CiscoWorks catagorizes them as unknown devices.
Thanks,

Hi Brobson,
Here is the Device Supported List for LMS 3.2
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_lan_management_solution/3.2/device_support/table/lms32sdt.html
If you have any other version of LMS, kindly let me know and I will share the Device suported list accordingly. Usually for Cisco devices we always look for SysObejctID of the device to see if the device is actually suported in CiscoWorks.
Thanks

Ciscoworks and SSH

Hi,
we are using Ciscoworks. we want to enable SSH access on all Cisco Network devices. With the help of Ciscoworks Can i generate the report about the Device SSH compatibility? (Resource Manager Essentials 3.5)
Thank you
Vijay K

From my experience, I would say no. I am in the process of doing this for my company. We use Ciscoworks RME 2.6.
I created an inventory report with relevant information:
Hostname
Model
DRAM
FLASH
Current software version
Current software image
Those are the base items you will need. I exported that report to excel and then added my own fields:
Supports SSHv1
Supports SSHv2
SSH Image
SSH Image DRAM requirement
SSH Image FLASH requirement
Then used the IOS feature navigator to find an image that would support SSH.

Ciscoworks and Java - requiring a specific version

Can anyone explain why Ciscoworks requires a specific version of the java plugin rather than just using it as a minimum requirement? The current version of java is 1.5.0_01 but when I access our server it complains that I'm not running 1.4.1_02. Is there anyway to stop this check happening and to force it to just use what's installed?
cheers
Mike

Why indeed. I have raised this to Cisco developers ad nauseum. They are moving to more of a pure html schema with the upcoming release of LMS. Even that, though, will still have dependency on a specific JRE (1.42_something if I recall correctly). For now, you can use the parts of LMS and RWAN that aren't java-based applets despite the suite's error warning. Using any of the java applets (CiscoView, Campus Manager, etc.) requires the exact JRE noted in the documentation (1.41_02) and no substitutes are accepted. This is hard coded in the applet and there is no reliable work around. Some have reported limited success by using the Java control panel and having multiple JREs loaded on their machine. This is a bit tricky though and may not work in all situations.
Thus the great myth of Java (write once, run anywhere) is exposed. The cynic might observe that a MS-based implementation would be prefereble. the purist would opine that a pure html W3C-compliant app would be the way to go. The realist just sighs and goes about working with what he (or she) is given.

Ciscoworks and VPN concentrator or PIX

With plain old Ciscoworks LMS is there anything useful that can be done with a PIX or a VPN concentrator as there is no write community string. Can you do anything aside from viewing the box?

Not via SNMP since VPN and PIX boxes by design not allow a SNMP RW string to be configured on them

CiscoWorks and automated action

I use CiscoWorks VMS 2.1 on Windows 2000.
I try setup automated action. All works fine, but when I try send $M (The entire message is passed to the script) and $D (The device name is passed to the script) I recived $M and $D. What must I do to resolve this problems?

I noticed that Syslog Analyzer is not able to pass $M and $D to any scripts. What you could try is to use $* in the script.

CiscoWorks and Parameterized templates ERROR - Help Joseph:-)

Hi,
I am using CiscoWorks RME 4.3.1 I am trying to use Parameterized templates as explained in this document:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_resource_manager_essentials/4.3/user/guide/netcfg.html
Here is my XML file located in the right place: NMSROOT\files\rme\netconfig\cmdFileson the CiscoWorks server:
<DEVICE NAME = 10.60.131.1>
<CMDPARAM NAME = ConfigFile>
<value>TST4CUPE10-Confg-PV.txt</value>
</CMDPARAM>
</DEVICE>
Then in RME I creat a user-defined task as the one you can see there:
Then I create a new job on a device with the parameterized file:
Actually if I put a tick in the Check Syntax I got the following error message:
I don't understand as the value is configured in the xml file as you can see above!
When the job is done I get a status: successful:
But the problem is that nothing has changed on the device cause of the following error:
configure replace bootflash:$ConfigFile force
Error: Could not open file bootflash:$ConfigFile for reading
Here is the result on the screen:
Does anyone knows what could cause this error?
Best regards,
Laurent

Hi Joe,
I have a good news. It is working now after I changed the IP to the hostname as you suggested.
But it was not working even with the hostname because I had a “<” too much.
bootflash:TST4CUPE10-Confg-PV.txt<
So now the file look like that:
bootflash:TST4CUPE10-Confg-PV.txt
Thank you so much for your help! That is fantastic
Best Regards,
Laurent

LRE - 2950LRE and CPE - lightning protection

I have installed 2 * 2950-24LRE switches with 48 CPE's. This works 100% - the issue that we have is with lightining- whenever there is lightning , the pots splitter/2950 or the CPE get struck by lightning. When we installed the lightning protection at the 2950 end - then data would not work.Customer now wants to remove the LRE solution as it is very troublesome.Plse can u help as we do not want to lose this customer. What can I do wrt the lightning protection

You should check the connection between the 2950 and the POTS splitter and POTS splitter-wiring closet .

Which versions of Window can perform best with CiscoWorks?

Hi,
Please advice that currently we have 3200 logical devices configured on CiscoWorks and CiscoWorks is running very very slow. CiscoWorks installed on server with Windows Server 2003 32-bit and this version of windows it can only support RAM up to 4GB, which is already installed. In order to increase the RAM we have to upgrade the windows version as well.
Please advise that which versions of Window can perform best with CiscoWorks. E.g. Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1 (SP1), Standard Edition 64-bit: or Windows server 2008 etc. Please advise us the full windows release version as we will upgrade windows as per your suggestion.
We are currently using the LMS 3.2, RME 4.3.0, CM 5.2.1

Please refer to the Installation Guide for Windows server requirements. Here is the link:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_lan_management_solution/3.2/install/guide1/prereq.html#wp1099303
Given that you want to stay with Windows Server, Server 2008 Standard Edition with service Pack 2 would be your best choice.
NOTE that your should not (and cannot) use Server 2008 R2. That version in only supported with LMS 4.0.1. LMS 3.2 will not work with Server 2008 R2.
With a 64-bit OS, you can increase your RAM - which is usually constraining system performance on systems with 32-bit OS. I recommend just putting in 16 MB. Why skimp on $100 RAM with $20,000 software?
Your other alternative is to divide the server roles across several machines. That is a pretty complex task so I'd do the OS and RAM upgrade first and see how that helps you out.
Re "Linux" LMS 3.2 (and 4.0/4.0.1) is only supported on Windows and Solaris operating systems. Plus if you're not a Uniux admin, the learning curve can be steep for your first dip in the water.

Using CiscoSecureACS with CiscoWorks-RME

I need help in configuring CiscoWorks to use CiscoSecureACS for login authentication. I have specified TACACS+ as the login module. I am able to login with a account from the ACS server. However, the permissions aren't configured correctly. When I login with the ACS server account, options aren't displayed (e.g., under RME, Administration, Inventory, Add Devices...the Add Device option isn't present). Please advise.

To be succinct, ACS doesn't have all the fields that are required by Ciscoworks. That is why you still need to define the user profiles in ACS.
ACS is simply an authenticator. Ciscoworks still handles authorization. Look at the fields available in Ciscoworks and you'll see there are a number of roles that each user can take. I suppose Cisco may someday include extensions in ACS to handle the specific CiscoWorks profile fields but that isn't the case today.
I think the advantage to using ACS is the centralized authentication. Users don't have to change their passwords in multiple places. Logon violations are recorded in one place.
You'll find that once you define the profiles in CiscoWorks they will remain quite static.

CiscoWorks Updates

I'm new to CiscoWorks and inherited 2 LMS 3.2 servers about 2 months ago. Sense the server build in Januray this year, there has not been any updates/upgrades to it at all. The following is the current build info I was able to collect -
Integration Utility - 1.9.0 (no patches or applications installed)
CiscoView - 6.1.9 (no patches or applications installed)
RME - 4.3.1 - several applications and the 4.3.1 package has been installed (no patches)
LMS Portal - 1.2.0 which includes applications and packages (no patches)
CM - 5.2.1 (includes 5.2.1 patch, several applications and several packages installed)
CS - 3.3 includes several packages (no patches or applications)
CW Assistant - 1.2.0 (no patches or packages installed)
I have downloaded all the patches, packages and updates I could find and am now at the quandry of where in the world do I start in the update/upgrade process.
Should I start in a specific application and move forward from there? I was told at one time that there may or may not be dependencies on each update/upgrade that may affect other applications within CW.
Anyone that can give me a clue would be a friend for life... lol
TIA
Eric

I'm assuming your server is not allowed to connect to the Internet on its own. Otherwise, you could use the built-in update tool and it will both download the packages and apply the updates for you.
In any case, I generally apply and Common Services (CS) updates first. After that, the other applications are relatively independent and can be done in any order. The upgrade process will check for dependencies and alert you if any dependent packages are not present. In that case, simply iterate the process including the required prerequisite packages.
Here is a link to a post I made recently about the CLI procedure for applying updates on a Windows LMS 3.x server.

Pause Frames in 2950-LRE

Hello experts,
I have an eight port 2950 Long Range Ethernet switch, model WS-C2950ST-8-LRE, with sw image c2950lre-i6l2q4-mz.121-22.EA5a.bin. I have CPE585 on the other end of the lre link. The distance is about 250 meters. When I issue the command,
sh controller ethernet-controller, I see the following on one of the lre ports (this is a partial output, it details on all the lre ports).
LRE Enet Stats on Switch:
Transmit
1971984524 Bytes
176387421 Frames
14274008 Pause frames
Can somebody please tell me what does the Pause frame mean? Why am I seeing these? How can I eliminate this pause frame?
The applications (especially MS Project) running on PCs on the other side connected to the CPE have very slow response time. Some of them time out due to slow response time.
I have rate selection sequence LRE-SEQ-COMPLETE-REACH and profile LRE-15LL for each of the LRE port. Is there anything else that I can do to improve the performance and get rid of the pause frames? Thank you for your assistance.
Murali.

Thanks for the reply. In my case, the lre sits between two 2950T switches, i.e., uplink via g0/1 port and downlink via an etherchannel with CPE 585 on the other end (2 lre ports connecting to two fast ethernet ports on 2950T). I am not sure what setting I should use and where to turn off this feature. Or is this normal on an LRE switch where the uplink is a faster link and the downlink is a slower link (according to the profile on the lre links, I should be getting 18 MB transmit and 16.67 MB uplink on each of the lre link of the etherchannel).
Looks like it is not a bandwidth issue because the Ciscoview shows the utilization on the interface to be less than 10%. It has to be something to do with latency or other feature on the lre that I am not aware of.
Any suggestion is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Murali.

Ciscoworks - Could not eneter enable mode

We recently used Ciscoworks to change our enable password on all our managed devices. Since then it has been unable to archive the configurations. We have changed the default credentials in Ciscoworks and have confirmed that they are correct by exporting the device, and also manually logging on using the credentials.
The weird thing is, any new devices that we add into ciscoworks are able to have their configs archived. If we remove a device and add it in again the config archive works.
Any existing device does not get their config archived.
Any thoughts on how we can fix this? I was thinking just delete everything and import them in again, but I’m not too sure of the process.
Thanks.

If you go to RME > Admin > Config Mgmt > Transport Settings and choose NetConfig as "Application Name", do you have TFTP as the primary "config deploy" protocol?
