Export Wired Device Configuration Archive in Prime 2.1

Hi,
we have prime 2.1 lifecycle with 50 node license. I'm trying export device configuration archive (not controllers), but I couldn't find any solution for this. now I found "controllers configuration backup" in the setting>background task menu, but this is for wireless devices(WLC). please help me where I should find the solution.
Kind Regards,
Neda

Anyone ?

Cisco Prime 2.1 Backup Device Configuration

Hi
Does anybody knows how I can change the credential of a group of devices to archive all the running configuration?
And other question is where this configuration is stored?
Thanks for your help
regards

The Bulk update option has been started with PI 2.0.
You can either streamline or change the information on the devices, or if you have another set of credentials for a different subnet, you could add that to the CLI section of the discovery profile and rerun the discovery. If you have a handful of changes, you can click the devices with a status of Managed with Warning and then click the Edit button to modify the credentials.
With Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0, there is now an ability to export devices with credentials directly from the GUI. Navigate to Operate > Device Work Center and you should be able to see the “Export Device” button as shown in following figure:
At that point in time, you can export the device credentials, change them using a spreadsheet application, and import them back.
TIP: If you need to change the credentials for devices in bulk, this method can be used to do that.
Importing Devices Manually
If you maintain a spreadsheet that has all the devices and would rather get started with that, you do have this option in Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0. If you to go Operate > Device Work Center > Bulk Import, you get an import pop-up as shown in the figure below:
The configuration is stored in the oracle DB in various table and indexes. Unfortunately, it doesnt allows to see that configuration from the server directory. But you can manage and view from CPI GUI.

Where is a part of configuration archive file of network devices

Hi everyone,
Today I'm already install Cisco Prime 2.1 for my customer but I'm having trouble about backup configuration file. Originally my customer use LMS to backup router/switch configuration and they can copy configuration file from local disk to backup storage immediately in anytime that they want but now when they use Prime 2.1. They not know where is the part that program will save configuration file (.txt or .cfg) to local disk. Prime 2.1 is the appliance box and we can login root to see the linux part.
I don't know that exactly the Cisco Prime will save backup configuration to database file (such as sql file) of text file (.txt or .cfg) and if it save as text. i would like to know where is the part of backup configuration file that I can access to copy it via ftp.
Thank you for advice,

Hi ,
Right now this feature is not available in PI , enhancement has already been filed to address this issue:
transferring device config archive from PI to other server is not supported and currently
there's no way to achieve this.
Previously, the following enhancement bug was previously raised but I'm not sure whether
this feature will be announced from the further PI version or not.
CSCud84458 Need separate folder for config archives to be stored on NCS/PI
Symptom: Device Configuration can not be retrieved from NCS/Prime Infrastructure using CLI
or an LMS 'shadow' directory equivalent
Conditions: PI 1.x and 2.0 are affected by this limitation.
Workaround: None
Further Problem Description: Unlike precursor products, such as LMS, device configurations
are not natively stored in the filesystem and are rather stored in the inbuilt Oracle DB
as BLOB objects.
Thanks-

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 Infrastructure Scheduled Configuration Archive not executing

We have a deployment of Cisco Prime Infrastrcuture 1.3 (1.3.0.20).
Configuration Archive is a feature that collects and archives the device configurations i.e. cisco switches.
You have an option to schedule this to run, say daily, weekly etc. Once scheduled you can see it in the "Jobs Dashboard" and with the "next start time" of what you configured. I have a situation whereby the time it is suppose to start - it doesnt - howevere flags the job as a "success". Not newe device configurations are archived and the "next start time" remain the same. Its almost like it is failing to execute, but some other process under the hood thinks that it was been executed correctly?
Any ideas or experience that could help here would be appreciated!

Some extra info that has just come to my attention. At one point we were running (we're actually still running) CiscoWorks with LMS3.2 and Cisco NCS 1.x. I merged these two things together into Cisco Prime Infrastructure (upgraded the licensing to get 450 lifecycle licenses to cover the APs + all of the devices coming from LMS3.2). I followed all of the documented procedures to upgrade the NCS appliance to Prime Infrastructure. But when I type "show application" from the CLI of the NCS appliance (now the Prime Infrastructure appliance) I see this:
HQ-NCS1/admin# show application
NCS Cisco Prime Network Control System
Is that normal? Maybe this is my problem. Should this output list "Cisco Prime Infrastructure" instead of (or in addtion to) Cisco Prime Network Control System? When I login to the GUI it shows "Cisco Prime Infrastructure" and the GUI has changed considerably (menus are different) so I'm assuming that the application upgrades I launched from the CLI to go to Prime Infrastructure worked fine.

Prime Infrastructure Device Configuration

I recently installed Prime Infrastructure to replace LMS and NCS, but I've encountered an issue with changing device settings. I had a controller set up to pull configs with no issue, but I had to change the IP to move it to a different VLAN ("it" meaning the controller). After I changed the IP, the device showed that it was unavailable in the device/operation dashboard in Prime INF, as expected.
Now, I can't find a way to change the IP address of the controller in any way, shape or form. It allows me to change everything else, but not the IP address. The only option I have is to delete the object and add a new one, which will remove access to the saved configurations.
I'm not sure if this is a bug or that it's defective by design, but if you can't change the management interface IP for a device without adding a new one, you've got a bit of a problem.

That directory doesn't exist
ade # ls -al /var/adm/CSCOpx/files/rme/dcma/shadow
ls: /var/adm/CSCOpx/files/rme/dcma/shadow: No such file or directory
ade #
ade # ls -al /var/adm/
ls: /var/adm/: No such file or directory
I guess the configs are not in individual files but within the database

Cisco Prime Infrastructure release 2.1 configuration archiving on CISCO WiSM2

Hi all,
Just wondering Cisco Prime Infrastructure release 2-1 support configuration archiving on CISCO WiSM2?
CISCO release 2.0 mentioned that it doesn't support configuration archiving for WiSM2 but release 2.1 doesn't mention anything on it.
Please assist.

No, it is not supported even for PI 2.1

Cisco PI 2.0 Configuration Archive fails Nexus 5000

Hi,
we recently upgraded Cisco PI from 1.3 to 2.0 and i thought this problem would be solved but it did not. I have added two Nexus 5548 switches that i can monitor and configure through Cisco Prime but im not able to read the running och startup config to the Configuration Archive. When i run the job i get the following error:
"fig from device: java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out"
Current NXOS: 5.2(1)N1(2a)
Before i proceed troubleshooting i just would like an answer if it should be possible to archive configs from Nexus to Cisco Prime Infrastructure?
Cheers! // Mattias Andersson

Thanks for the quick reply! Well, i did some more troubleshooting and i noticed that through Ethanalyzer and inspected the telnet packets that Prime tries to set the terminal lenght and width before it shows the running-config but it fails as it is in the default role of priv-0, and therefore gets % Permission denied. So, it times out after 2,5 min.
I added these two lines and worked like a charm!
role name priv-0
rule 12 permit command terminal length *
rule 11 permit command terminal width *

PI 2.0 configuration archive problems

Hi,
I've got 2 problems with archiving device configurations in Prime Infrastructure 2.0.
1. Configuration archive job status is Completed and Last run status is Success
Looking at Configuration archive results, I see this:
Fetch Running: Success
Fetch Startup: Success
Fetch VLAN: Unsupported operation
Fetch Modules: N/A
Archive: Success
It's a Cisco 7200 router.
Looking at its Configuration archive, I can see just the running config. Startup config is missing.
2. Configuration archive job status is Completed and Last run status is Partial-Success
Looking at Configuration archive results, I see this:
Fetch Running: Success
Fetch Startup: Success
Fetch VLAN: Unsupported operation
Fetch Modules: N/A
Archive: Error in archiving for device '3663756'
It's a Cisco 6500 FWSM.
Looking at its Configuration archive, I can't see anything, it says 'No data available'. Both running and startup configs are missing.
Do you have some ideas what is wrong here, why can't I see the configurations?

I've found the reason why this is happening. In the case when startup and running configs are identical (disregarding lines like 'last configuration change', 'ntp clock-period',...), Prime doesn't show startup config under Configuration Archive, it
just shows the running config.

Configuration archive after configuration change

Hello,
I'm assuming this can work with switches, routers, and controllers. I'm running PI 2.1 and am trying to get the configuration archive functionality working. I have both of these options checked under System Settings > Configuration Archive:
:: Archive configuration out-of-box
:: Archive configuration on receiving configuration change events
On the IOS device, these settings were configured for syslog/snmp:
logging buffered 100000
no logging event link-status
logging trap notifications
logging facility local6
logging source-interface Loopback0
logging <Prime IP>
snmp-server community ***** RW 13
snmp-server enable traps config
snmp-server enable traps syslog
snmp-server host <Prime IP> version 2c *****
I do not see any syslog messages in PI under alarms/alerts and the configuration never gets archived. I haven't run tcpdump yet to determine if PI is receiving these traps but I was hoping it was something simple I was overlooking. Thanks for any assistance that can be provided.

Thank you for the reply. To answer your question, yes. Community information matches with PI credentials.
I actually did get it to work yesterday. I did original testing on a 1921 router which is still not working, but when I tried configuring the same information on some switches (3750's) it worked. I thought routers would be configured the same - are there hardware limitations to this?
I look in the built-in CLI template 'Configure Logging' in PI and it only has switches and WLCs as available devices to push out to but I don't know what to make of it.

PI2.1 : Cannot make Configuration Archive : Fetch Runing/Start Fail

Hello,
I cannot make a configuration archive with PI2.1.
I'm using PI2.1 to control WLC.
When I run Configuration archive, it says Fetch Running: "Unkown error", Fetch Startup "Unknown Error", Fetch VLAN "Unknown Error".
What should be the reason?
I can enter in the WLC, configure it from PI, but cannot make "Archive Config"
Please help.

Airport Extreme no longer recognizes or provides internet to wired devices

Not sure if it was the power outage or an update that is the problem; but, I had a 5th generation Airport Extreme as the center of my home network with a solid connection to the internet for both my wired and wireless components. A few days ago, after a power flicker (all components on surge protectors) my wireless internet would not stay connected more than 45 seconds before dropping and oddly, none of my wired components we showing up on the network or getting an internet signal from the AEBS. After two hours with my ISP technical support personnel we deduced that the problem was the AEBS and the modem was fine. I bought a new AEBS yesterday (the new long cube one) to use until my appointment to have the 5th gen looked at. Plugged that in and instantly my wireless network came back up - rock solid. However, anything I connect directly to the AEBS via ethernet does not get an internet connection or show up in the network. I searched for two days in these forums for a similar problem - but, have gotten nowhere. I used my wired connections for internet phone service and really need to get this fixed soonest. Much thanks for any help anyone can throw my way.

I would find it odd that you would have a replacement AirPort and still not have Ethernet connectivity ... but, of course, anything is possible. The DHCP service on the AirPort provides IP addresses to both wired and wireless clients by default so it shouldn't work for either if there was something amiss with it.
At this point, I would suggest that you try the following:
Perform a "factory default" reset on the AirPort. After it resets it will default to its "out-of-the-box" configuration which is a wireless Internet router that will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN.
Without making any changes to the AirPort, try connecting any of your wired devices to it. If it still does not get the proper IP address and network connectivity I would suggest that you try performing a complete power recycle of your networking hardware. Please check out the following AirPort User Tip for details.

My airport Extreme just stopped assigning IP addresses to wired devices

I have an fairly large home network that is run by an Airport Extreme.
- Comcast Cable Modem for 3 public (not static) IP addresses
- small switch to be able to obtain three addresses
- Apple Airport Extreme connected to the switch and it receives an IP address and internet connectivity from Comcast
- Airport Extreme connected to a 16 port Cisco switch to handle the wired connections in the house. I have 54 ports of which 9 are currently in use.
all wired devices connected through the wall and a patch panel to the Cisco switch.
The issue is that after working flawlessly for about a month (just moved into this house) it stopped today. any device going through the hardwired Cisco Switch is no longer getting an IP address from the Airport Extreme.
I replaced the switch with a second one to see if that was the failure and it is not.
I unplugged the Cisco Switch from the Airport Extreme and plugged devices directly into the Airport Extreme 1 by 1 and they were able to obtain IP addresses.
I need more than the three ports available on the Airport extreme.
What changed and what do I do?

I unplugged the Cisco Switch from the Airport Extreme and plugged devices directly into the Airport Extreme 1 by 1 and they were able to obtain IP addresses.
This tells you that the AirPort Extreme is working correctly and the issue....whatever it is....is appearing after the AirPort Extreme on the network.
A few thoughts:
You have tested the ports on the AirPort Extreme and they are working, so the next step would be to disconnect the Ethernet cable that runs from the AirPort Extreme to the switch at the switch, and then connect a laptop to the Ethernet cable to check to make sure that you are getting a good IP address that way.
If you cannot, then you have a bad Ethernet cable between the AirPort Extreme and switch that will need to be replaced.
If the laptop is getting a good IP address when you run this "test", then you know that the AirPort Extreme and Ethernet cable are working correctly and the troubleshooting focus must now move to the switch.
Check to make sure that you have an unmanaged switch. Or, if it is managed design, that it has been configured to operate as an unmanaged switch.
Next, connect the Ethernet cable from the AirPort Extreme to the switch and disconnect all of the other Ethernet cables that are connected to the switch and test each port one by one with your laptop and a spare Ethernet cable to make sure that each port is working correctly.
If you cannot get a good IP address on your first test with the laptop connected to the switch, then you know that you have a misconfigured or defective switch.
If the switch checks out OK when you test each port, then the next step is to connect one of the Ethernet cables that runs to another area, and connect your laptop to the Ethernet cable to make sure that the cable is working correctly. Continue to test each Ethernet cable the same way.
About 95% of the time in issues like you are having, the problem is bad wiring somewhere on the network, even though the "tech" said that he tested everything. The trick is to find it....when there are no shortuts.

My time capsule stopped giving WIRED devices IP addresses (Wireless is fine). How do I fix this?

I have several devices on my network, and am using a 2TB Time Capsule.
All of my wireless devices work fine- including 2 MBP's, iPad's, iPhones, etc. However, none of my WIRED devices (Xbox, Printer, PC's) are connecting anymore. To be specific, none of them are getting IP addresses. This is obviously an issue, since I'd like all my devices to be networked.
No changes have been made to my Time Capsule in probably 6 months. I literally woke up this morning and none of my wired devices were connecting (eg, my wife complained that the printer wasn't working).
None of the devices are faulty, as I was able to bypass the Time Capsule and plug directly into the cable modem, which then provided an IP address.
I am not aware of how to troubleshoot a Time Capsule. This is the first time I've ever had an issue. Can anyone offer some next steps? (I've already restarted it several times, tried checking Airport Utility but there doesn't seem to be any option on configuring DHCP options).
Thanks,
Greg

If you call Apple, the first thing that they will ask you to do is power off all devices on the entire network.
Wait at least 30 minutes. Longer will not hurt.
Start the modem first and let it run 2-3 minutes by itself.
Then start the Time Capsule the same way.
Continue starting devices one at a time about a minute apart until everything is powered back up.
Check the network and report on your results.
