Comparing NX-OS Configurations in Cisco Prime 2.1 or LMS 4.2.5

Hello All,
Maybe this is just an NX-OS thing but does anyone have issues comparing different versions of a configuration for the same device?  As an example we have Nexus 5548 running version 5.1(3)N2(1).  When someone configures an interface on the switch Prime and LMS receive syslog notifications and back up the configuration.  When you attempt to do a configuration comparison within Cisco Prime 2.1 it appears like the entire configuration has changed (see below - if you were to scroll over the entire config is red).  
When I do the same comparison within LMS 4.2.5 it gives the same result.  Is this just the way it is?
Brian

So I checked another Nexus 5548 that's running 5.0(3)N1(1c) and it is working as expected.  It seems with that device that Cisco Prime 2.1 is able to parse the configuration out and you can compare differing versions of the same device:
Looking back at the original device that Cisco Prime is having issues with it appears that everything is lumped under the global config:

  • Cisco Prime: Restore Backup-Configuration

    Hi,
    how can I restore a backup-configuration with cisco prime on a cisco-router through TFTP? 
    Is there a way to say cisco prime: logon the router through ssh and then run comand copy tftp:... ?
    Thanks for your help!

    Marco,
    In PI you use Templates to be pushed on devices as configurations.

  • Cisco Prime 2.1 HA and NFS backup

    Hi,
    I've just configured my Cisco Prime with the external NFS backup server using instruction from the Administration Guide,
    http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/net_mgmt/prime/infrastructure/2-1/administrator/guide/PIAdminBook/backup_restore.html#pgfId-1085464
    all works fine but I'm wondering what about HA server? Should I configure all the same steps I did on a primary server?
    Regards
    Gunter

    No, this instruction is for how to configure backup server and how to configure Cisco Prime to be able to use NFS for backup files. It works, I did this and there was no problem during the configuration. The only thing I'm wondering is that I did this on the primary Cisco Prime and not on the HA CP server. So what will hempen if the primary fail and the HA switch over as a primary? Should I configure the same repository on it, should I enable NFS on the HA server also?

  • Including Interface Description in Cisco PRime Infrastructure Alarm Message

    Hi all,
    i succesfully configured a Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1 applliance to display an alarm and to send me an e-mail when switch uplink ports goes down.
    The text displayed in alarm message is :
    port 'interface_id' is down on device 'device_ip_address'
    I'd like to include in this text also the interface description so the text will display :
    port 'interface_id'  'interface_descriprion' is down on device 'device_ip_address' 
    Is this possible?
    Thankyou in advance

    Hi,
    i followed these steps :
    SWITCH SIDE
    - configured Prime Infrastructure as snmp-server host;
    - enabled snmp-traps for linkup and linkdown events globally;
    - disabled snmp-traps for linkup and linkdown on non relevant interfaces using the no snmp trap link-status command
    PRIME INFRASTRUCTURE SIDE
    - under "Deploy/Monitor Deployment" i deployed template "Interface Health"  for all the interested switches
    -  under "Administration/System Settings/Mail Server Configuration" configured my internal SMTP server to make Prime Infrastructure able to send e-mails
    - under "Operate/Alarms & Events" click on "Email Notifications" , then on "Switches and Hubs"
       - check the "critical" box ,  insert the destination e-mail address into the "To" field then click "Save"
     -  check the "switches and Hubs" box and then click Save
    As i know is possible to avoid to configure every single not-interesting port on the switches with "no snmp trap link-status" command (it's a bit annoying when you have tens of switches), using Port Grouping configuration on PI but i tried it without success.
    Hope this helps.

    we see any rare with Traffic Analyzer, see that ip source configured X.X.X.X/24 is as destination X.X.X.X. Where see that source is Y.Y.Y.Y.

  • SYSLOG Cisco Prime LMS

    Hi friends,
    I have a question about my syslog from Cisco Prime LMS 4.1, the hours from this syslog in the LMS is diferent from my switch log.  I dont kown why.. I verified the hours betewen switch y the Cisco Prime is the same(the LMS is over Windows Server 2008R2) . both are the same log but in diferent hours about 5 hours.
    maybe I have to configure the hours for Syslog in the Cisco Prime.
    Log from Switch
    Log from Cisco Prime LMS

    If you have LMS, i am not sure, but if you have PI 1.2. Take a look at my post.
    Basically, syslog feature doesn't work well. I could see couple of syslog through event / alarm, but syslog itself is not working properly.

    Hi
    We're experiencing the same problem. But are you sure of the way that you resolved the issue?
    We have both NCS and NCS (WAN) 1.1.
    NCS-VA-1.1.0.58.ova is the installer for NCS
    NCS-WAN-VA-1.1.0.1114-small.ova is the installer for NCS WAN 1.1
    We cannot logon to the NCS WAN using the root login/password. I have already tried configuring again the root password but error occurs.Until now we cannot logon to NCS WAN.
    Any recommendations on this?

  • 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 configuration backup

    Hi There,
    In Cisco prime infrastructure there are two places that I can do backup of the WLCs. 
    1. Operate -> Configuration Archive & run schedule archive
    2. Administration -> background Task -> Controller Configuration Backup
    Can someone tell me what's the different between these two? What would be the issue if I have enable only option 1 not 2? If I want to get the running configuration of the controller to my PC How I would be able to do that?
    Thx
    Sara

    An Intelligent Network Management Application doesn't have to depend on most basic tasks for user input.
    It should be smart enough to start managing devices for configurations, inventory and Fault Management out of the box, as soon as the devices are added.
    Under Mega-Menu like --> Design, Deploy and Operate their are many tasks which are user deployed and as per the network preferences and requirement.
    Under Background Tasks we have System Defined Tasks to start many such device management activities by default.
    Also, under Background task, you can configure an external TFTP/FTP server to archive the backup of the controllers configuration.
    -Thanks
