Custom device prompt in Ciscoworks LMS

Hello,
In emerging network infrastructure of our client we decided to use some custom promps at device VTY (SSH and Telnet). Console users are network authenticated by means of ACS, and in case ACS is not reachable, we decided to use login prompts as follows:
Username(local):
Password(local):
In this local mode, when CiscoWorks LMS (3.1) tries to collect configuration of switches, VLAN configuration exactly, we got such error messages in LMS interface:
TELNET: Failed to establish TELNET  connection to 10.52.0.1 - Cause: Authentication failed on device 3 times. VLAN  Config fetch is not supported using TFTP. Command failed VLAN Config fetch is  not supported using RCP.
Of course, we have checked the possibility to got from LMS host to these devices by SSH and Telnet, credentials are correct, only login prompts are as described earlier.
I conclude, we need to tell LMS to accept our custom prompts. Is there any possibility and how to achieve this?

If you're sure the failure is due to the custom prompt, yes, you can simply follow the steps in the following document to let LMS know about that:

  • Ciscoworks LMS 4.0 – Fault Device Details Issue

           We currently use Ciscoworks LMS 4.0 but when I go into,  Monitor > Fault Settings > Setup > Fault Device Details   
           I get the following message (see attached document with screenshot) and being a LMS newbie am unsure what to do? As have tried to search for this
           file but no luck.
           So thanks in advance for any advice.

    Check if the fault management rediscovery page shows device as discovered and known or does it have any errors?
    Are you able to generate any fault management reports and view other pages?
    Just try to reboot the server/restart daemon to see if it is goes away.
    Else it is mostly corrupt FM DB. Which would need to be re-initialized.
    Fault Mgmt reinitialize is very simple task, which doesnt removes a lot of data, except past 31 days of FM history and custom notifications, if configured.
    Thanks

  • CiscoWorks LMS 4.0.1 and devices other than Cisco.

    Hello.
    Can I use some CiscoWorks LMS functions like config management, topology, with devices other than Cisco?
    Thanks.
    Andrea

    No, RME, Campus and DFM are still hardcoded to restrict to cisco devices.
    HUM and IPSLA are more open.
    The functionality from the HUM will allow you to monitor availablilty, interfaces and you can add OID's yourself.
    IPSLA can use non cisco devices as a target for their tests.

  • Ciscoworks LMS 4.0 DFM Custom Traps

    Hello,
    We want to use Ciscoworks LMS 4.0 for Access Control List Monitoring. i.e. if we end the ACLs with "log" entry, we may send  the ACL deny logs to the Ciscoworks as Syslog or Snmp Trap format.
    With "debug snmp packets" command we may observe the packets are sent to the LMS, but the traps don't show up as alarms. Is it possible to observe any trap entry with LMS DFM Fault Manager by customizing the module, because we think the engine of the DFM analyzes the traps and shows some of the traps, not all of the traps are observable.
    The command output is as below:
    Thanks in Advance,
    Best Regards,
    Mar  2 10:28:30.028: SNMP: Queuing packet to 10.10.10.1
    .Mar  2 10:28:30.028: SNMP: V1 Trap, ent ciscoSyslogMIB.2, addr 10.10.20.1, gen  trap 6, spectrap 1
    clogHistoryEntry.2.742 = SEC
    clogHistoryEntry.3.742 = 7
    clogHistoryEntry.4.742 = IPACCESSLOGDP
    clogHistoryEntry.5.742 = list 191 denied icmp   10.10.10.1 -> 10.10.20.1 (0/0),   10 packets
    clogHistoryEntry.6.742 = 69082382

    DFM consumes the traps and decides based on its built-in code-book what to do - rise one of the predefined Events or just silently ignore it. The best DFM can do is forward the trap as-is to another trap receiver.
    Perhaps the LMS Syslog-Server can do what you want and lauch automated actions (like scripts or e-mail) based on certain criteria.
    But you should take care of the underlying syslog file and keep its size under control with logrot.pl utility.
    The online help of LMS should give you more details on the syslog capabilities or this link to the LMS 4.0 Administration Guide:

  • Adding Device support/definitions in Ciscoworks LMS 3.2

    Hi All
    I am having some issues adding updated definitions for Cisco C3750X-48PS switches.
    We have ciscoworks LMS 3.2 and I need to update the definition/device support for these switches. We are conducting a network refresh and are having some issues with ciscoworks polling these devices correctly.
    I have looked through the various user guides and searched on google with not much luck as to how to actually do this, the links I have found breifly go into it, but not indepth, and the cisco links I have found, of course have redirects to new pages which bear to resemblance to what is in the original document.  Is there a clear guide out there on how to update the switch definiton in ciscoworks? So I can i can try and do this correctly?
    I am new in my current role and I want to ensure I am doing this correctly. Apologies if this has been asked before.
    thanks                 

    First thing to check is the supported device table for LSM3.2. According to it, the 3750X-48P-S is supported pretty much across the board by the LMS tools.
    So you then need to just make sure you update the RME, CM, DFM and CiscoView device packages to integrate the updates into your server. While you can manually download and install the various packages, this task is more easily accomplished via the application GUI itself.
    In LMS 3.2, updates can be done via the Common Services Software Center. The User Guide (here) tells how to use that area in great details. I usually just select "everything" for updating so as to be fully updated for whatever gets installed (as opposed to trying to pick and choose the minimal set of packages).

  • Extract Devices from Ciscoworks LMS 4.2 to Nagios database

    Hello everyone,
    I'm working on ciscoworks LMS 4.2 and as part of a project I need to extract all of my devices to a Nagios Database.
    Is it possible to do ?
    If yes, can you explain me how can I do that ?
    Perhaps with snmp traps, I don't know.
    Thank for your consideration and your help.
    Cordially.

    I am not an expert in Nagios, so no idea on what options does it have to import devices.
    In LMS, you have an option to export devices and its credentials list in .csv and xml format. Please check if you can use any one of those to get imported on Nagios.
    Check details on how to export from user guide here :
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_lan_management_solution/4.2/user/guide/inventory/mng_device.html#wp1132486
    Also, you can try to fetch database details from LMS using Open Database Connect. Use the following document for more details :
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_lan_management_solution/4.2/database_schema/dbviews_42.html#wp23144
    You should check the possible option on Nagios to import devices and than ask if that is available on LMS.
    -Thanks

  • CiscoWorks LMS: not receveing certain SNMP traps

    CiscoWorks LMS 4.0.1 (I know it's old and unsupported).
    Problem: not receiving certain SNMP traps.
    For example: I receive trap like "STP new root" but not like "port put to err-disabled" or my custom traps (produced by EEM scripts).
    I've investigated my situation and found out that switch sends traps and they reach* LMS but somehow LMS ignores them (there's no trace of them in GUI). I've read that some traps just pass through LMS but my traps are very important and I need to know about them.
    * I did Wireshark capture on LMS machine.
    I'd like to know how to debug receiving of SNMP traps in LMS:
    which specific debugs need to be enabled,
    which specific log files need to be examined.

    LMS uses DFM to process certain traps.
    All traps it deems unimportant are dropped.
    If you want to use the LMS GUI you can have you device send a SYSLOG message rather than a trap.
    use logging source command to make the management interface send the message.
    Then there is a GUI that allows you to launch an action on a message

  • CiscoWorks LMS 4.1

    Hi,
    Currently we have CiscoWorks LMS 2.6 and looking to buy or if possible upgrade to latest version of CiscoWorks LMS 4.1
    I need confirmation is this LMS 4.1 is a bundle? Like including RME, Common Services, CiscoView, Device fault Manager, Campus Manager and etc.,?
    Naidu.

    An upgrade from LMS 2.x to LMS 4.1 is possible. With LMS 2.6 there was no device count restriction but the next major release (LMS 3.0) introduced licensing based on device count. So you have to determine which device count you need. Available licenses are for example:
        LMS41-300-UP-K9         Upgrade LMS 2.x 3.x to 4.1 Base DVD for 300 devices
        LMS41-1.5K-UP-K9         Upgrade LMS 2.x 3.x to 4.1 Base DVD for 1500 devices
    LMS 4.1 is a bundle and - under the cover - still contains CS, CiscoView, RME, CM, DFM and meanwhile also IPM (Internetwok Performance Monitor) and HUM (Health and Utilization Monitor); With LMS 4.x they cannot be installed as standalone applications as it was with LMS 2.x/ 3.x; Also the GUI has undergone a complete re-write (and thus re-organization) - see the link to the data sheets below.
    There will be some changes with LMS because it will be merged together with "Cisco Prime Network Control System" into "Cisco Prime Infrastructure".
    Thus the latest release of LMS (LMS 4.2) is available in the "Cisco Prime Infrasturcture" Bundle which contains both these products:
          Cisco Prime Network Control System 1.1        (Mgmt for Wireless Products)
          Cisco Prime LAN Management Solution 4.2       (Mgmt for Network devices)
    Data sheets for LMS 4.2 and LMS 4.1 are available here:
        http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/products/ps11200/products_data_sheets_list.html
    Ordering and licensing guide for "Cisco Prime Infrasturcture" is here:

    Campus Manager 5.1.4
    We have 31 managed devices in Campus Manager (data has been collected on all),

    The device are: 2 6509 cores (running IOS s72033_rp-IPSERVICESK9_WAN-M version 12.2(18)SXF8), 1 ASA firewall (running ASA-OS version 8.0.5) and 29 switches (2960 and 3560 models both running ios version 12.2(52)SE). The switches are connected as follows:
    User tracking jobs are running normally, but aren't finding any end-hosts or IP phones at all (I suspect around 250-500 hosts+ on these switches)
    We are running SNMP v3 on the switches and have added the following configuration items to all the switches:

    I'm slowly getting to a dead end here. What am I missing?

    Well, our problem was resolved finally through a weird coincendence after having a websession with a Cisco TAC engineer (TAC case SR 613376661)
    We changed the
    snmp-server group readonly v3 auth context vlan-xxxx
    commands in the switches to:
    snmp-server group writeonly v3 auth context vlan-xxxx
    that is: use the writestring in the snmp-server groups instead of the read string.
    After we changed that, all of the User Tracking mysteriously started working.
    As far as I know, the writestring should not be needed, but apparently it is....
    Is there any explanation for this?

  • CiscoWorks LMS 2.6

    Dear All
    We are running CiscoWorks LMS 2.6
    I have scheduled a backup in Common Services > Server > Admin > Backup
    My question is, what does this backup actually do?
    Does it just backup the CW configuration?
    Or does it include data such as devices configuration archive, reports, jobs, device inventory etc
    If it does not, anyone have a suggestion of how this can be achieved?
    I am looking into DR scenario - i.e. how we can restore net devices if the device AND CW server is destroyed.
    Thanks

  • Cisco devices configuration for CW-LMS

    Hello,
    I am new to CiscoWorks LMS. I am working with a LMS 3.2 fresh installation. I added all the devices (routers, switches and 3 ASAs) into the DCR. Now I need to know how to configure the devices to send relevant info to the CW LMS machine. I am looking for something similar to this:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/solutions/Enterprise/Security/SAFE_RG/chap10.html#wp1056411
    This is a deployment model for Cisco MARS, which shows what to configure on each device in the network to send the most relevant info (syslog, netflow) to the Cisco MARS.
    Is there a best practice for CW LMS regarding this? For example, what syslog level should the routers send to the LMS?
    Thank you!

    There is a deployment guide whitepaper for LMS at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/cscowork/ps2425/prod_white_papers_list.html .  As for what to do syslog-wise, you should configure your logging facility to be local7 (this is the default on IOS, but not on ASA OS), and send at least sev 5 or higher messages.  You may want to bump that up to sev 6 (informational), but sev 5 for IOS devices will be sufficient to get things like configuration change messages.  For CatOS, you definitely want sev 6.

  • Ciscoworks LMS 4.0 – Email Notifications Issue

    We currently use Ciscoworks LMS 4.0 with over 1000 devices in the database. I'm a LMS novice. And have been assigned the task of minimising the amount of email notification’s we receive, as if one device goes Operationally Down all devices off that switch also send alerts to the email notification group, which in turn overwhelms the mailbox.
    The ports are configured not to log or send snmp traps.
    no logging event link-status
    no snmp trap link-status
    So any advice on how we can limit these alerts being generated would be much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Nessie,
    Go to Monitor > Fault Settings > Setup > Fault Device Details
    select the device and click on view  then Click on the hyperlink or the device name\ip address
    that will bring a new window from there click on Interface and chanaged the Managed state from ture to FLASE for those interfaces for which you do not want ALERTS.

  • How to get Ciscoworks LMS 4.0.1 serial number

    How to get Ciscoworks LMS 4.0.1 serial number ? I need that to put the product under mainrtenance, and I can't manage to get it.
    Thanks for your help
    Roland

    as LMS 4.0.1 is a service pack on LMS 4.0 you need the serial number of your base installation of LMS 4.0.
    The serial number for software products is called "PAK" ("Product Authorization Key")
    For LMS there are 3 options to get the PAK:
    1) the PAK is printed on a paper sheet in the box in which LMS was sent to you. Sometimes it is also printed outside on the box.
    2) the mail you received from [email protected] after the online licensing process includes the PAK;
        the first lines of the email looks something like this:
    ===========================================================
    DO NOT DISCARD THIS EMAIL.
        Product Name          : R-LMS41-1.5K-MR-K9
        Product Description      : Update LMS 4.0 to 4.1 Base download for 1500 devices                                            
        Product Qty          : 1                                                    
        Product Authorization Key : 1354Jxxxxxx                                             
        Sales Order Number      : 117yyyyy
        Options Included: No additional features have been selected for this product.
    You have received this email because your email address was provided to
    Cisco  Systems during the registration process for a software license key file  to the CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution (LMS) software. 
    ===========================================================
    3) the license file itself contains the PAK, sourounded by the tags and <\PAK>
    the line looks like this:
        1354Jxxxxxx" SIGN=658Czzzzzzzz
    if you have access to your LMS server you can find the license file at the following location:
        NMSROOT\etc\licenses\1317812nnnnnn.lic
    open it with a text editor and you 'll find the PAK.

    Yes LMS 4.2 needs a new license. You can probably check once if your LMS 4.0.1 license allows you a free upgrade.
    Many old LMS 4.0.1 were offered free Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.x, which has LMS 4.2 available with.

  • CiscoWorks LMS 4.0.1 - some questions

    Hello community,
    I would like to ask some questions about CiscoWorks LMS 4.0.1.
    We are using for a few days, and I can't set some request in the system. I hope someone could help me to customize the CW as I would like to use it.
    - We have some Catalyst 6500s, and between them there are Etherchannels. CiscoWorks sends us email because HighUtilization, and it relies on a Gi interface. I read that CW doesn't support etherchannels, is this true.
    - I would like to receive email notifications about errdisabled state, etc. I know this is dome by RME, not DFM. The CiscoWorks server acts as Syslog server, too, and it collects the syslogs. I see in the Syslog summary, that the device sends to CW the syslog, but I can't receive email. I did an automated actions, (Monitor-Syslog-Automated actions), I defined the parameters (Facility: *, Sub-facility: *, Severity: 2, Mnemonic: PSECURE_VIOLATION, Description: *), but CW doesn't send me an email.
    - I would like to customize interface threshould parameters per device. We have some router with Tunnel utilization 90%, but it's okay because we have a 10Mbit line for the external site. But when our distribution switch ethernet utilization would be 90%, it would be critical. Where can I set these parameters per device/interface?
    Thank you for your help in advance.
    Ferenc KURIS

    If you go to  Monitoring > Fault Settings > setup > fault device details
    Select the device click view and click the device to open the detailed device view.
    There you may see the tu interface under interfaces and set it to managed.
