Deploying Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2

For the deployment of Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 do I need to have 1 or 2 appliances or vms.  From what I can read version 1.2 is supposed to combine Cisco Prime LMS and NCS into one pane of glass for management so I would assume that I would only need one appliance or VM.
Thanks.

Not completely just yet. PI 1.2 does incorporate some LMS 4.2 functionality but falls short of a complete replacement. So for now if you want all the bells and whistles of LMS 4.2, you still need to build a separate instance of LMS. At least it is included with the PI 1.2 license.
PI 2.0 is supposed to bring more feature parity - we'll see though....

  • Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 is not working https & ncs

    Hi, I have just deploy Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 in a virtual appliance (Vmware Esxi 5.1). Console is ok & setup is also completed. but there is no NCS application. only app is shwoing: NCSPNP
    Cannot access from https also.
    Please suggest how to Starting Prime Infrastructure Serve

    From what you describe, it sounds like you have installed the Plug and Play (PNP) ova image. You need to install the Prime Infrastructure image.

  • Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1 Express OVA failing to boot up

    Hi all, i'm wondering if you can help me, i'm trying to deploy Cisco Prime Infrastructure in a lab envrionment but it's not working correctly.
    I've deployed "PI-VA-2.1.0.0.87-Express.ova" to a VMware ESXI 5.1U2 hypervisor with 2x AMD 8128HE CPUs, 96GB RAM, ASUS KGPE-D16 motherboard. The installation works fine, I can answer all the questions and enter the IP address. Once the system reboots, it hangs at the following screen:
    "Kernel direct mapping tables up to 340000000 @ 10000-1c000" is the last thing I see
    Interestingly at this point I can actually ping the VM... I cant connect to the managemnet console on HTTPS though :(
    I did find some related info on a blog https://deekayen.net/kernel-alive-lock which mentions booting with "noapic", however when I try to press "P" on the grub boot loader it prompts me to enter a password which I dont know! My normal admin passwords arent working.
    Any help to ge tthis running would be greatly appreciated
    Thanks in advance
    Ben

    The server takes about 30 mins to boot up, it's not actually broken it's just extremely slow .. I have found numerous people reporting this issue online, and our production system also does this! I guess my original problem is solved, although I would prefer this issue not to exist!

    NetFlow is also supported by these devices Cisco 800, 1700, 1800, 2800, 3800, 6500, 7300, 7600, 10000, CRS-1 and these Catalyst series switches: 45xx, 55xx, 6xxx.
    NetFlow export is also supported on other Cisco switches when using a NetFlow Feature Card (NFFC) or NFFC II and the Route Switch Module (RSM), or Route Switch Feature Card (RSFC). However, check whether version 5 is supported, as most switches export version 7 by default.
    You can check the below steps to diagnose the issue::
     To verify that NetFlow is exported from a device to PI, follow the steps below:
    1)    Browse to Administration > Data Sources page. Check the value in column ‘Last Active Time’  for the ‘Device Data Sources’ table. If the table is empty or  the value does not represent recent time, then
    it is possible that the device is not exporting NetFlow or PI Assurance license is not applied / expired.
    2)    Login to PI console ( via SSH) as root user and run the command:
                    netstat –an | grep 9991 – Output of this should be like :  udp        0      0 :::9991         :::*
                    Check the firewall settings on PI server using the command: firewall -L
    1)    Check the configuration on an IOS / IOS –XE device. Run the commands
    a)    sh running-config | inc destination
    1)    This should list the IP address of the PI SERVER ( along with other outputs if any)
    b)    sh running-config | inc 9991
    1)    This should list at least one entry.
    c)    If the above are fine, then verify that the flow monitor, flow exporter and the flow records are correctly configured on the device.
    Refer to the URLs below to configure NetFlow export.

  • Email notification for config deployment jobs in Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 ??

    We're upgrading from LMS 3.2 to Cisco Prime Infrastructure ...
    In LMS 3.2 we're using netconfig all the time to configure various jobs related to port security
    In installing Cisco Prime Infrastructure and working through it's use of templates, I'm having some difficulty finding out how to send out a notification once a configuration job has completed.  It's so simple in LMS 3.2 since it's part of the job creation screens.

  • Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 and Aironet 1250 + VSS issues

    Hi,

    So here is the version from Prime:

    Well  the issue what we have now is that access point has been added but its  not recognized by the NCS prime. I have tried all three versions of SNMP  but I get the same result. The SNMP configuration is valid since I use  the same for my switching infrastructure. When I enter "debug snmp packets" and "terminal monitor" I can see the SNMP communication between Prime and Aironet 1250 which is standalone.
    When  I switch to Lifecycle theme and go to Operate > Device Monitor  Center I see all devices I have added. The Aironet 1250 is reachable but  under collection status I get Managed with Warnings. When I hover over  with my mouse I get "None available".
    I  have successfully added my switching infrastructure in total, which is  operating perfectly for Catalyst 2960/3650/3750/4500 series but for 6500  under VSS I have some warnings. The device is recognized by the system  which is excellent and all is operational. I get the following errors  under Collection Status:
    feature_sensor
    SNMP request timed out
    feature_powerSupplyFanStatus-6k
    SNMP request timed out
    IdentityCapability
    The device is unreachable.
    feature_flashdevice
    SNMP request timed out
    sam_ipsla_feature
    The device is unreachable.
    What can be done to resolve these issues ? I have attached a screenshot of this particular issue. The affected access point is 172.16.165.241.

    Hi rajeeshp,
    Currently I am not allowed to upgrade it because of internal procedures involved in upgrading a specific piece of software (obtaining permissions from various departments). Is it free to upgrade from 1.2 to 1.3 or there is a specific charge for that.

  • Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3 - SNMPv3 can´t get CPU, memory info.

    Hi,
    I have a Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3 deployment with Catalyst 2960S switches. Switches are running IOS 15.0(2) SE2. All switches have SNMPv2 configured, and all appears to be fine. I'm migrating one switch to SNMPv3, and PI have reachability to the switch, but PI doesn´t receive traps from the switch, and neither poll CPU and memory information (all displays 0.00%).
    Somebody have a sample configuration of SNMPv3 with Cisco Prime (Infrastructure or LMS)? I cannot find a Cisco official (or unofficial) document related to this version, usually all mention SNMPv2.
    Thank you.
    Eduardo

    Hi Eduardo:
    SNMPv3 is indeed supported for general administration.  There's a bug with SWIM using SNMPv3 (CSCud92758), but you should be fine for just monitoring.  Have you deleted the switch, waited until Prime Infrastructure told you it was gone, then readded it as SNMPv3 natively?  Bug CSCug78869 keeps things from working well when changing SNMP versions. 
    If you don't have the new Update-1 patch for Prime Infrastructure 1.3.0.20 installed (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.

  • Monitoring ASA in Cisco Prime infrastructure 2.2

    Hi everybody.  I have some issue with cisco Prime Infrastructure  2.2.  We use this product in our network for monitoring network devices and I need to monitor also our ASA 5550 device with soft 8.4.  I  added ASA to Cisco PI but see only basic component like my device can reachable via  and read via snmp. But cannot see  CPU, RAM, Device ENV like Temperature, l2l vpn connection,  Interfaces status and Utilization that interfaces, cannot see sub interface that placed on ASA like that g0/0.20.  I need fully monitor ASA and See logs and trap for my device:
    CPU RAM ENV (Temperature), Interface and sub interface status, L2L VPN  Status.
    1 Cisco Prime infrastructure can full support  ASA for monitoring and logging.. IF YES how can i configure  that features in Cisco PI 2.2 for ASA
    2 IF not which product Can full support that features for full monitoring and logging  ASA devices
    I have a little deadline for finishing
    thanks everybody before

    I've not success monitoring ASA interface utilization either. I'm using PI 2.2 with device update #1. The ASA is a 5585-X with 9.2(3) software.
    I have deployed the PI monitoring template to the ASA and do see its overall status and PI has enumerated the interfaces in the device page.
    I even looked at a packet capture and see PI querying the values of the interface counters and those values being sent back to PI - yet I cannot select any ASA interface when drilling down under Performance Detail monitoring.
    When I get some free time I will open a TAC case on it, meanwhile I am getting all the info I need from the upstream and downstream switches.

  • Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 Alarms (switch port down)

    We have a cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 managing switches, routers and AP.
    By default, when a port of a switch goes down, the cisco Prime Infrastructre generates a Critical Alarm for that. (this is a problem, because every phone of laptop disconnection will generate a critical alarm for me)
    I found out that if we go to Administration --> Alarm Severity --> Link down, I can change the Alarm from Critical to another type of alarm.(ex: warning)
    The problem is that I want to keep the Critical Alarm for my Uplinks ports and for some important switch ports, and I would like to make the alarm as warning for the normal user ports.
    I know that I can create Port Groupping and add ports to each group and apply monitoring templates on those groups. But This couldn't Help me solving my alarm problem.
    So I just need to know how to manage the alarms severity for each group of ports.
    Thank you

    Hi,
    Same problem here.
    I am using Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 (evaluation version for 60 days). I want to deploy port monitoring for my trunk ports between switches and some other important ports e.g. servers. Basically I want to get alarms when these ports are down, there are errors on ports and etc.
    So in Design>Port Grouping I created User Defined group with important ports. In Deploy>Monitoring Deployment I selected Interface Health (default)>Deploy selected Port Groups and when selected port group I created.
    Now the rule shows Deployed: Yes and Status: Active. After that I just pulled out one port which was in monitored group, waited 5min as it is set in Interface Health (default) template, and nothing happened, and worse, alarms started to show up of other ports where regular users are connected (computers was turned off), which I do not want to see at all. I tried redeploy template, I even created my own template but still no desired result.
    Any suggestions how to make port monitoring work?

  • Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1 - WS-C2940-8TF-S and WS-C2940-8TT-S supported ?

    Hello community,
    I've got a question just to play safe.
    I'm running a Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1, we still do have a bunch of WS-C2940-8TF-S and WS-C2940-8TT-S with running images 12.1(22)EA12 , 12.1(22)EA13 and 12.1(22)EA14.
    I know these switch types already have a End-of-Sale and End-of-Life Announcement for the Cisco Catalyst 2940-8TT-S and 2940-8TF-S Compact Switches ("http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/switches/catalyst-2940-series-switches/end_of_life_notice_c51-510224.html").
    The inventory collection status in the device work Center is for these switch types "Collection Failure", the error message is this one:
    An unexpected error has occurred:
    # Check the device is in supported device list in deployment guide -> not listed in "http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/net_mgmt/prime/infrastructure/2-1/release/notes/cpi_rn.html#pgfId-43885"
    # Check there is connectivity between the device and PI -> Checked adnd OK
    # Check the device credentials provided are valid -> Checked adnd OK
    # Finally if the problem still persists then contact Cisco System's technical assistance center -> not done yet, looks like these switch types are not supported any more in PI 2.1 ?
    Can anyone confirm this or answer back because these switch types are supported in her/his PI2.1 installation?
    Best regards
    Bastian

    Prime Infrastructure won't support those legacy models.

  • 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.
    Best Regards,

  • Software images Cisco Prime Infrastructure

    Hi,
    I have Cisco Prime infrastructure 2.0 and all it works ok except when i try to get software image from device. I don´t see any device, so i can´t select any device and I get "RSL error".
    When i try to access "Operate" > "Configuration Archives", i get the same error.
    The machine from where I navigate has last "flash player" version and it has all requeriments.
    Which can be the problem?
    Thanks.

    Hi!
    I have experience the same problem under different tools in PI. I did notice it first under “Deploy>Monitoring deployment>Interface Health template>deploy and I get the 2032 error.
    I have learn that this occurs when you use a client with no internet connection and you try to start above deployment tools.
    What happens is that when you try to open such page in PI web interface, the flash player starts and try to get some files on the PI but the URL it get from the PI application points to a library that do not contains the file (Bug in PI?). The files the flash player looks for is called something like framework_4.5.1.21328.swz and spark_4.5.1.21328.swz and so on. The url from PI looks like https://PI_Server/webacs/applications/SAMDeployTemplate/js/framework_4.5.1.21328.swz but the file is missing.
    The flash player have a backup way to get the xxxxxx.swz files it needs. If it can’t find the files in the application, it try to get it from Adobe http://fpdownload.adobe.com . But in my case my client can’t access internet so I get the error 2032.
    I have another installation at another site that allows internet access everything works fine. The flash player can load the files it needs and store them locally on the client PC. Then I can take that PC back to the another site with no internet access where I did get the 2032 error and now It works fine because the flash player have the files it needs to handle the PI application.
    I have a case open and it has not been solved yet.

  • Change Interface availability threshold from Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0

    Dear Community,
    I’m working in Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 and I’m having the following problem:
    I want to monitor the interfaces availability from all the devices of my network. But only makes sense send an email notification  for the most critical interfaces. I don´t want to receive an email notification every time anyone unplugs the network wire.
    How can I achieve this?
    I already tried to change the interface availability threshold from the Interface Health Threshold Template, but this one isn´t available to configure.
    The idea was to change the severity of the alarm so I could distinguish what type of alarm would send email notification.
    I also created a Custom SNMP Template that gets the ifOperStatus using the MIB IF-MIB. This also didn’t work because Prime Infrastructure doesn’t allow me to define thresholds to a Custom SNMP Template.
    Without threshold, no alarm, without no alarm, no email notification!
    Can you help?
    Regards,
    Daniel CJ

    Only on the HA pair which would be the secondary.
    High Availability (HA) RTU: If Cisco Prime Infrastructure is deployed in a high availability configuration with one primary and one secondary instance in an HA pair, then an HA RTU is required. You only need to purchase a single set of the regular licenses (for example, Base, Lifecycle, and so on) for the primary instance.
    Thanks,
