LMS 4.2 Topology View

Hi
I have installed LMS 4.2 in one of my customer site. We have added all the switches and everything works perfectly. Recently we added all the CCTV cameras in lms.
Issue is that when CCTV camera is down it takes a long time to show in topology map..Any one knows how to make view in topology map as real time. Atleast a delay of 30sec is okay..

Topology view is not really intended to be a real time (or near real time) fault management tool. While you can turn up the speed of it's discovery cycle, it will create excessive workload and, depending on the size of your network, may result in polling never stopping due the time to complete one cycle being more than the time you have configured to start over again.
To see near real time faults (such as loss of a CCTV camera), have operators refer to the Fault Monitor display:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_lan_management_solution/4.2/user/guide/lms_monitor/mnt-faultbrowser.html
If you want to customize the polling of devices for fault management, refer to the Fault Management chapter of that same guide:

Dear all,
I am trying to open a telnet from the topology view but the internet explorer is not opening the command prompt window, i am using i.e 9, and i know that the telnet is not supported on both 8 and 9 i.e.
i have also tried to install Mozilla firefox, but when i try to open the topology view it prompts me to install java always.
so does any one have i patch or something that works to open a telnet over the i.e or any ideas.
thanx in advance.

A problem with PoE devices in the Topology view (LMS 3.1)

Hello,
the customer has a problem with PoE devices in the Topology View. :-( He doesn't see the 2960 PoE devices with the PoE filter enabled in the topology view:-( He uses LMS 3.1 on Windows.
In the NetPro discussion I found that the list of PoE devices is in the following file:
POECapableDeviceTypes.properties
but I cann't to find thid file in the campus directory. In the campus folder are following folders: bin, etc, lib and www.
Thank you
Roman

The file is in NMSROOT/campus/www/classpath/com/cisco/nm/ani/clients/campus/main/filters/POECapableDeviceTypes.properties.

Cat 6500 doesn't appear in Topology View after replacement of the Supervisor engine

Hi.
I've a problem with a LMS 3.2 (latest updates).
We've replaced the supervisor engine with a new one (there was no change in model or IOS).
All is working fine, but only one thing is missing: The device was in the unreachable status in CM-Topology-View. So, I've deleted the switch into the Topo-View and rediscovered. The device doesn't appear. I've deleted the device in CS and redescover the hole net. Same effect: the device is present in RME, DFM, IPM, but not in CM-Topo-View.
The communication between NMS and device has neighter abnormalities nor other problems. I've checked ICMP, TFTP, Telnet, SSH, HTTP, HTTPS, SNMPv2c and SNMPv3.
All inventory jobs, Config jobs, DFM-Polling-Jobs and so on are working properly with this device.
Any ideas?
Regards
Markus

Hi.
Thx a lot ... the clearing of the cache was successful.
but where is the interrelationship between the discovery/data collection and the browser cache? Why I set the option to "every visit of the page" for temporarily internet files?

Realtime - network topology viewer

Hello guys,
is it possible to see realtime network topology viewer without collecting data manually. because everytime my device down , i have to click "perform data collection button " to see realtime network topology. without pressing it, looks like our device still up.

You should not set data collection to less than 5 minutes. It will likely be continually be consuming resources on your server and adversely affect performance (usability).
Here is the relevant section from the above reference (the same documentation should be available with your server):
Scheduling Data Collection
Data Collection runs automatically when you add, or delete devices in the Unified Device Manager (UDM).
You can also schedule the day and time of data collection using this feature.
You can start data collection immediately for all or failed devices and schedule data collection for all devices. All devices is a default option. You can select the Failed devices option to run data collection for failed devices.
To schedule data collection:
Step 1 Select Admin > Collection Settings > Data Collection > Data Collection Schedule.
The Data Collection Schedule dialog box appears.
Step 2 Modify the data collection settings as described in Table 6-2.
Table 6-2 Data Collection Schedule Settings
Field
Description
Usage Notes
Schedule
Days, Hour, Min
Days on which and the time at which data collection is scheduled.
The optimum data collection schedule depends on the size of the network and the frequency of network changes.
The default data collection schedule is every 4 hours, on the 4-hour mark, daily: 04.00, 08.00, 12.00, 16.00, 20.00, 24.00 Note that time is in the 24-hour format.
•Select a schedule and click Edit to edit the schedule.
•Select a schedule and click Delete to delete the schedule.
•Click Add to add a new schedule.
Step 3 Click OK to save the changes or click Cancel to exit.
Best Practices
Be cautious while scheduling Data Collection:
•Data Collection consumes significant resources on the network management system.
•Use the Polling option to see the device and link status without running data collection. For more details on polling see, Data Collection Critical Device Poller
Data Collection Critical Device Poller
LMS polls the entire network for device and link status periodically.This feature allows you to:
•Configure the time interval at which the network is polled.
•Poll only a critical set of devices.
Use this option to see the device and link status without running Data Collection.
Since Data Collection consumes significant system resources, you can simply poll the network and view the device and link status in Topology maps.
Adding Critical Devices to the Device Poller
To add a device to the Critical Devices list from Topology Map:
Step 1 Launch a Topology map.
Step 2 Right click a device and select Add device to Critical Poller.

LMS 4.2 Topology Data Collection Issue

Hi there,
i have an issue with the lms 4.2 Topology Data Collection. After installation the Topology Data Collection was running normaly, but since first server reload the Topo Data Collect under Inventory > Dashboards > Device Status > Collection Summary is "frozen". It only shows the following content from first run:
Topology Data Collection    193    0    Not Available     Running    Schedule
Is there any option to stop this process elsewhere? I cannot find anything under jobs in running state or so. Clicking on Schedule only give me the option to start data collection, but lms always returns that the process is running.
Thanks for help.

Hi,
i have reseted the ANI db using NMSROOT\bin\perl.exe NMSROOT\bin\dbRestoreOrig.pl dsn=ani dmprefix=ANI

But Topology Data Collection is still frozen to "Running" state....

Prime Infrastructure 2.2 - Network Topology View - Spanning Tree View

Hello Team,
Is it possible on PI 2.2 (latest version) under Maps/Network Topology View to be able to "monitor" the spanning-tree performance?
thanks in advance,
George

Sorry but that's not a currently offered feature.
It would be nice - the Netsys product that Cisco acquired 18-1/2 years ago (and subsequently abandoned) used to do this quite nicely.

LMS 4.2 topology map & explorer 8

Hi!
The LMS 4.2 topology map could not start with IE8 on Windows XP client. But it is working well with Mozilla!
The java install was success!
We get the following messages!
and
Any idea?

May be is independed of the browser but if i started under IE it was unsuccessfull.
I cleared the java from my computer and opened the LMS by IE. The java was intalled but topology map did not started.

LMS 4.1 topology services

Our LMS cannot start topology services.
we got the following error:
Cannot connect to ANIServer: ANIServer7.0-lms
Probable Cause
1. Unknwown Hostname
2. Unknown Error
Recommended Action
1. Check if the Hostname is DNS resolvable
2. Check whether the ANIServer process is up and running.
Where & how can i fix this problem. I dont know where to find ANIServer.
Please advice

1. Has it ever worked? If yes, has anything changed? If no, then your installation may be suspect.
2. Do you get the same error when you are at the server itself (as opposed to accessing LMS remotely via a browser)? If yes, then the ANIServer process is likely not running. Look here for instructions on how to perform server self test and restart processes.
3. If the problem is limitied to client acess, I'm assuming you've checked suggestion #1 in your post. Beyond that, I have seen a similar issue when Java is not running the exact version (1.6.0_24) recommended by the LMS. I've also seen a clear of the Java cache remedy this issue.
Hope this helps.

Topology View / Service with Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.x "PRIME-NCS-APL-K9" ????

Hi Team,
Hope you all doing well.
I just want know few thing about Cisco Prime Infra 2.x.
1st thing is does CPI2.x support Network topology View? if not then is that any other feature which can provide Network View (exa :- Map,etc)?
2nd thing is it possible to take Telnet/Ssh of discovered device from CPI2.x then how we can do that?
3rd Thing if we want to add third party device in CPI2.x then what are prerequisite for the same (Vendor MIB, etc) and procedure?
Your help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Vishal

Hi Vishal,
Since you don't have any data as such on PI 2.1 , go ahead installed PI 2.2 on the Appliance.
Yes , you need to download , the .ISO image and burned it on DVD and start the installation.
here is the download link::
https://software.cisco.com/download/release.html?mdfid=286236028&flowid=72882&softwareid=284272932&release=2.2&relind=AVAILABLE&rellifecycle=&reltype=latest
You need to check if you are entitle for download or not.
Can we installed PI 2.2 from current PI 2.1 GUI access? No , it is not possible.
check these links for installation step::
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/net_mgmt/prime/infrastructure/2-2/quickstart/guide/cpi_qsg.html#pgfId-43441

CNA 6.1 topology view empty

Hi,
I have an strange issue with CNA 6.1.
When starting and choosing my community, CNA starts discovering the topology, asking for passwords here and there and everything seems to be ok. But when its finished, I am left with an empty topology view. I can see the switches it discovered in the left pane but no topology......
Any ideas?
CNA is running on a windows 7 pro x64 machine.

I don't know the answer to your question but how do you get the CNA to down load. It will not download.
Is the product still out there

LMS 3.0 topology services and email notifications issue

Hi
I have an LMS 3.0 install that was working when I installed it at a customer site a few months back. I went back in to give them an overview of its operation and there are now several issues. Nothing has changed since I installed it because the customer didn't know how to use it.
The issues now are
1. When there is a link failure the mail account that should receive a notifivation gets nothing.
2. In topology services the faled link goes red but when repaired goes to dotted red and never goes back to solid black.
I know the mailing worked previously because I can see previous errors that were fixed being reported about a month back.
Also in DFM all my devices now show as learning under the device discovery page and never move from 10% completed. I found another post that says I need to upgrade to LMS 3.0.1 and DFM 3.0.5
Is it possible this will fix the other issues ?
I have LMS 3.0, DFM 3.0.0, RME 4.1 and CM 5.0
Many thanks, Stephen.

Yes, your versions are plagued by numerous bugs. It is highly recommended you upgrade to LMS 3.0.1, then apply the Campus Manager 5.0.6 and DFM 3.0.5 service packs. LMS 3.0.1 can be downloaded from http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/lms301 , and the various required SPs from Common Services > Software Center > Software Update.

LMS 3.2 functional view no display

Hi,
I have a LMS 3.2 installation where the functional view was displaying all the menus correctly. after a system restart, the functional view is empty with no menus
but all other menus are functioning well.
please let me know how to solve this issue
with thanks

There is a cli option to restore the portal views. CSCOpx/bin/RestorePortal.pl
If you have not made to many changes this is the best option.
I don't think the portal.db is part of the backup. Maybe it is if you have made changes. Check your backups.
Cheers,

LMS 4.1 Topology Service Question

i have only 1 switch 2960 POE at customer enviroment.
i did run topology service and checked on the right side POE CAPABLE Devices
it shows me that i have 4 switch POE while actually there is only 1 switch POE in real enviroment.
does anyone have any idea about this issue ?
appreciate soonest reply
Thanks

Its hard to tell without getting the info requested but check the DCR to see how its identified as which device type it is. And compare that to the inventory hardware report and the actual device itself.
1. Check the DCR to verify the correct device type is defined for the incorrectly reported devices.
2. Were the devices automatically discovered or added manually to LMS?
3. Re-run a a data collection:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_lan_management_solution/4.1/user/guide/monitoring_troubleshooting/mnt-topo.html#wp1044599
Post the ani.log and the show ver requested after data collection completes.
