How to mornitor VSS (Virtual Switching System) & Stack (Switch) By Cisco Prime Infrastructure

Dear all,
I have 02 C6504-E with VSS (Virtual Switching System)
   and 02 C3750X-24T-L used Stack
How to you Cisco Prime Infrastructure to monitor VSS & Stack tatus?
Thanks.

Virtual Switching technology is  the process of combining two standalone distribution switches found in  the local distribution layer into a single management point.
The Virtual  Switching System functions and appears as a single switch to the wiring  closet and the core layer. You can also create Virtual Switching Systems  with a pair of standalone switches available in the core layer.
For configuration please check  the below link:

  • Adding new switch in my network including Cisco Prime Infrastructure

    hi all,
    if I connect new switch to my network, can I let Cisco PI to apply a specific template of configuration to this switch automatically?
    how can I do that ?
    thanks 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.

  • Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 and Aironet 1250 + VSS issues

    Hi,
    I  am new to the NCS implementations and configurations. I have one very  specific case with Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 and autonomnous APs  and several issues with Cisco VSS on 6500 switches.
    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 - I can't see the hardware virtual image when I selected a device managed by Prime Infrastructure. See attached picture

    Please let me know how to access or enable the feature.
    Thanks,

    This is by no means a full solution, but deleting and re-adding only takes a few minutes if you use the "Export Device" and "Bulk Import" features from the Device Work Center. You can export the desired devices to a CSV file, delete them, then import from the CSV. 
    Of course, you might lose historical data when deleting the devices, but I'm guessing that's not as relevant since the devices themselves have been replaced by different hardware.

  • 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?

  • Is VSS supported in Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2?

    Is VSS supported in Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2?

    VSS support (converting standalone switches into a VSS)  was introduced with LMS 3.0.1 if I remember well and it is still there in LMS 4.2 (Cisco Prime Infrastructure):

    Config Mgmt is supported, also.

  • Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 not showing alerts from switch

    Hello,
    I have a prime  infrastructure 2.0 running at a customer place and the customer now complains that he is not receiving link up/down messages from the switch. When i checked I have seen that if I shut down a port in the switch the prime identifies after a long time, but its not generating an alarm still. How can I fine tune the prime to fix this issue. Please help on this.
    Thanks in advance

  • Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.x Server requirements & Operating System

    Dear Friends
    I wish you are in very good health ........ I really very confused regarding LMS and i really needs your help ........ I need to order LMS for one of our customer with 500 devices and reporting cabailities ..... So i chosse base license "R-PI-1.1-K9" and 500 device license "R-PI-1.1-500-K9" and
    Compliance Management - 500 Device License "L-PI-1.1-CM-500"
    What really confused me that i tried to search server cabalitity for my requirments & Operating system and couldn't find it ...... what i need your help for is the following:
    1) What is the server requirments ???
    2) What is operating system (windows 2008 or VMWare VMware ESX/ESXi Version 4.1 or 5.0)
    3) Is their any deticated applicance from Cisco ??
    Please help
    Thanks in advance

    In addition to the release notes for the 4.2.3 patch noted above, please also see  the 4.2 release notes which further direct you:
    Server and Client Requirements
    For information on server and client requirements for the system and browser, see Chapter 2 of Installing and Migrating to Cisco Prime LAN Management Solution 4.2 at:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_lan_management_solution/4.2/install/guide/
    install.html
    To summarize the options it describes, you can run the LMS product on any number of platforms - a dedicated Cisco hardware appliance, a physical server of your own with Windows or Solaris OS, a VMware server with a Windows server OS guest, or a "soft appliance". The soft appliance is package built with the underlying guest OS (a customized RHEL distribution with Cisco's Application Development Environment OS (ADE-OS)) built-in.
    Once you have installed LMS 4.2, you should patch - first to 4.2.2 and then to the current 4,2,3. then run the software update feature to bring all package components up to date.
    Regarding licensing, there is a Cisco Prime Infrastructure Ordering and Licensing Guide here.
    When you order the licenses for PI 1.2 (new customer), you order the base product and then Lifecycle licenses (required for either PI 1.2 Lifecycle and LMS installations - which option is a customer choice) and, optionally, Compliance and Assurance licenses. An upgrade order for an existing LMS customer will include the base PI 1.2 with Lifecycle licenses as well as LMS in a single SKU as noted in tables 4 and 5 of the Ordering Guide.

  • Cisco Prime infrastructure Change severity Switches and hubs - link down alarm

    Hi, I want to change the severity of the link down alarm in the Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3, but in the menu Administration -> System Settings -> Severity Configuration i can not find the alarm. Some body knows where is it? o where i can change the severity of that alarm?
    Thanks in advanced.

    Hi Rollin and Daniel,
    the first test i did changing the severity was with a new installation, with no devices added and it worked, when i did it in a Prime infrastructure with devices added it didn´t work, well, for this Prime with devices i upgraded it with the patch for 1.3 version and now it works too, the alarms is ok as the alarm severity, this is the link for the patch:

  • Only 1 Virtual domain per user in Cisco Prime Infrastructure ?

    Hello,
    I wanted to add several Virtual Domains in Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3 (the UI allows it). But then I observe that the user can only see the first Virtual Domain (the first par alphabetical order).
    Is it normal (by design), or is it a bug, or is there something that understand wrong ?
    Many thanks in advance,
    Best regards,
    David

    A user can have multiple virtual domain assigned , but only one is active at login.
    Anyway the user can change the current virtual domain using the virtual domain drop-down list at the right top of the page.

  • Cisco Prime Infrastructure - Is there a report of unused switch ports?

    Hello,
    Is there a report in Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.4 showing the unused switch ports?
    There used to be one in Cisco Prime LMS (Reclaim Unused Up/Down Ports Report).
    Thank you,
    Luke

    Hello,
    I now have Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 running, and I don't see a report like the "Reclaim Unused Up/Down Ports" report that existed in LMS.
    I found one called "Interface Capacity", but it only shows the number of ports that are "connected", "notconnect" or "disabled".
    Does anyone know if a report of Unused ports exists in Prime Infrastructure 2.0 or if it will be available later on?
    Thank you,
    Luke

  • Getting past "Fetch VLAN configuration - Command failed" errors in Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 - How?

    I've got a handful of devices in Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 which show up in the "Archive Failed Devices" view.  The "Failure Reason" is some variation of "Fetch VLAN configuration - Command failed" sometimes including "TELNET: Failed to establish TELNET connection to x.x.x.x".  What does this mean?  How do I overcome this?  In all cases, the device is configured to use SSH and has valid SSH credentials.  In all cases, I can SSH from the command line of the NCS appliance to the devices listed in the "Archive Failed Devices" view.

    Hi
    I was able to fix the "Fetch VLAN configuration - Command failed" by allowing tftp from the device to PI server in firewall. See if this can help.

  • Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2: Catalyst 2960X-24TS-LL Switch Collection Failure

    Hello,
    I've Upgraded Prime Infrastructure to Version 2.2.0.0.158. Now our Catalyst 2960X-24TS-LL switches show an error message, when they are added to the inventory. The error is as follows:
    Partial Collection Failure; Collection Status : Failed feature(s).
    The 2960X-24TS-LL is listed under the supported devices list and other switches (e.g. WS-C2960X-48FPS-L) got inventorized without any problems.
    Did anybody see this issue and can tell me how to solve it.
    - Benjamin

     - Getting that one too, since running 2.2 (Failed Features) ; suggest opening a TAC case.
