LMS 4.2, User Tracking Utility

                   Hello everyone;
I had a new installation of LMS 4.2 and everythinks works fine but User trucking utility database has an empty host name / IP address. Any one knows the reason why this information is not polled ?
Thanks
Alina Andiraos

Hi Alina,
Seems that you have configured SNMP V3 on your devices. If this is the case, the command below will be required for every VLAN on every device running SNMP V3:
snmp-server group group_name v3 auth context vlan-vlan_id
example:
snmp-server group LMS v3 auth context vlan-1
snmp-server group LMS v3 auth context vlan-2
Have a good day.

  • CiscoWorks User Tracking Utility

                       Does Cisco have any plans to incorporate the CiscoWorks User Tracking Utility into LMS Prime 4.2 or any newer version of LMS? This tool is very useful in identifing where a computer or device is located on a switch. I know SolarWinds just came out with their own version of the User Tracking utility, and I am wondering if Cisco is going to continue on with theirs.

    I'm pretty sure the user tracking functionailty will be ported to NCS, the final Prime Infrastructure. We will see next year in version 2 what it looks like.
    When that happens a client for on your PC will soon be developed as well.
    I'm just wondering how cisco is establishing what features are to be ported into the final Prime Infrastructure.
    I mean, their marketing people are probably the best in the industry, and know exactly what they can sell out there.
    But I don't think they have a clue what is esential to manage a larger, bussines critical network, and what is nice to have.

  • LMS 4.2 User Tracking not enabled

    Hi all,
    I have an issue on some switches located on remote sites.
    For all switches on the main site (where LMS is located) User tracking is enabled.
    For switches on the remote sites, user tracking seems not to be enabled.
    This means we can't run the reclaim ports reports on them.
    Discovery, Fault Discovery and Inventory are enabled,
    but User tracking and Data collection are not active on these remote swithes.
    How can this feature be enabled? Can't seem to find it.
    Thx in advance!

    Hi ,
    you need not to do anything on the switch..
    You need to check if for those devices "Data collection " is running fine or not
    I hope the device is managed in LMS , check the device here first "Admin > Collection Settings > User Tracking > Acquisition Action"
    If the device is missing then delete it and re-add in LMS and run the Data collection followed by user tracking acquisition.
    Are you using SNMPv2 or SNMPv3 on those devices ?
    Thanks-

  • LMS 4.2 user tracking

    Hello,
    I have a problem with LMS 4.2 user tracking.
    When I generate a report on all my network all mac address are ok but there is no Hostname/Ip address in the result, except for 2 equipments.
    the only difference between these 2 equipements and the rest of the network is that they are connected on a not routed vlan. All the other phones, computers are connected on a routed vlan.
    I have a Nexus 5k as core and 2960 as access. Routing between vlans is done with the Nexus
    My DNS server is ok and reachable
    Here is a screenshot of the report attached.   
    Thanks for your help

    Yes, the Nexus 5000 series has a few issues with LMS (and other things). Among them is the non-support of User Tracking. I'm told it's a MIB variable issue but it's been the case for some time now and remains so with the current LMS release.
    Here is the reference from the Supported Devices Table which states in part:
    The following features are not supported:
    User Tracking (Nexus 1K, 4K, 5K and 7K with FEX), VLAN Management, VRF Lite, LANE Management

  • LMS 2.6 User Tracking - Application error: URN_NOT_FOUND

    Hi,
    When I run a quick report in Campus Manager (User Tracking  > Reports) I get the following error appearing in a window:
    Application error: URN_NOT_FOUND :  urn "ogs_server_urn" : Not found !!.
    Could anybody help me?
    I attach the ctm_config.txt file
    thanks

    From which directory did you get this ctm_config.txt?  I need to see the ones under NMSROOT/MDC/tomcat/webapps/campus/WEB-INF/lib and NMSROOT/MDC/tomcat/webapps/cmapps/WEB-INF/lib.
    Since this is LMS 2.6, I also need to see the output of the pdshow command.

  • LMS 4.2 User Tracking for Avaya IP Handsets and Connected Devices

    I manage an environment that makes extensive use of Avaya IP phones and it's frustrating that this seems to limit the usefulness of the User Tracking application within LMS.
    We configure the switch (2960) ports connected to the handsets as dot1q trunks with the associated PC being connected to the switch built into the phone.
    Having done some forum research it seems that UT only adds an entry for a device connected on a trunk port if it is a Cisco IP phone, not anything else.  This is frustrating as it eliminates a large part of our network from being recorded in UT and is doubley frustrating since the PC connected to the switch on the phone also isn't recorded.
    Is there any way to get around this problem that anybody is aware of?  Thanks

    As long as you have a supported Cisco Layer 3 device in your LMS-management domain, you should be able to correlate the IP-MAC addresses in User Tracking (UT).
    UT support is not specifically listed for the ASA firewall - I'm not sure it will support that feature if it is the users' gateway.

  • LMS 4.2 User Tracking (Ani Server) issue

    Running LMS 4.2.
    I have an issue where Data Collection, UT Acquisition, and VRF Collection go from normal display (on Device Status Portal Page) to "loading". At this point user tracking stops functioning. Eventually a number of processes are reported as down. When trying to view items such as Discrepancies and Best Practice Deviations the message "ANIDbEngine process may be down"
    If all daemons are stopped and restarted everything runs fine again for a few days then the same thing happens again.
    I have attached some log files related to ani. These were collected while the problem is evident, prior to processes being restarted
    Any feedback would be appreciated

  • LMS 4.2 User tracking and router arp table

    Hi,
    If I have understand correctly, the IP address - mac address matching was made with the arp table of a cisco acces switch if it will made the L3.
    My access switch wasn't used for L3 routing, only L2
    It's possible to set user track to use the arp table of a firewall or a router for made this matching ?
    Thanks a lot

  • LMS 4.1 User Tracking

    Does someone know if or what is the best way to do a acquistion on ip address on devices that appear to be dead until ping before LMS4.1 reports onn them. For example we run acquistion on a branch we do not see 172.20.12.51, howver we ping it from my desktop and then run user tracking and then it shows up.

    One option when setting up discovery is to do ping sweep of the target subnet(s). It has pros and cons. Reference page 5 of the LMS 4.1 (not just) for Dummies Guide.
    OTOH if an device appears inactive until pinged, it must not be typically generating traffic to its default gateway (or that gateway is not managed by LMS) as that would be the normal source of information about the host (ip-mac correlation anyhow) in a default discovery type.
    Hope this helps.

  • LMS Campus Manager User Tracking and LLDP

    I haven't been able to find a definitive answer on whether User Tracking can complete its
    discovery using LLDP (802.1AB) instead of CDP. My WAN provider only supports LLDP.
    If anyone has successfully used LLDP for this purpose I'd appreciate a reply - otherwise I'll have to head to the lab.
    Thank you....William

    No, LLDP is not supported by Campus Manager.  Only CDP is supported.

  • CiscoWorks LMS 4.0.1 and user tracking utility 2.0.

    Hello.
    We are using UTU 2.0 on more computers. For one of these we are unable to obtain results from search.
    How can I debug UTU?
    Thanks.
    Regards.
    Andrea

    UTU uses the same ports as a browser would to connect to LMS. 1741 and 443 depending on what is configured on the LMS side.
    You should test from that computer if the used port is open .

  • LMS 4.0 User Tracking Major Acquisition

    Any recommendations on how oftern to run a UT Major Acquisition?  Right now I'm scheduled every day, every 4 hours.  Is this too often?  My concern is that I may be putting too much traffic on the network allong with using too much CPU's from my equipment.

    It depends on a few things.  Remember, the main point of UT is to find users on the network.  It doesn't make sense to run UT acquisition when users are not connected to the network.
    Are you using Dynamic UT?  If so, you can greatly reduce the number of UT major acquisitions.
    Do you have lots of people coming in and out of the office throughout the day?  If so, you will want to either consider dynamic UT, or run more frequent acquisitions.
    Is the network infrastructure changing frequently?  If you have a lot of infrastructure changes like devices being added, trunks changing state, etc. you can limit the number of major acquistions and run minor acquisitions instead.
    By default, LMS runs major acquisitions at 10 am and 2 pm.  This is designed to get most users when they are in the office.  If business hours dictate other times, then adjust the schedule accordingly.
    Dynamic UT is a great way to supplement acquisitions and provide you near real time user updates on the network.  As soon as a user connects or leaves the network, UT can be informed.  Favoring dynamic UT and reducing acquisitions to one or two will greatly reduce the load on the network while giving you a chance to find "transient" users on the network.
    One advantage of doing major acquisitions (over dynamic UT) is that ARP entries are resolved to hostnames during acquisition.  If you go with dynamic UT, you will still want to run at least one major acquisition in the busy part of the day to make sure you get your users' hostnames showing up.
    For the questions of CPU and network load, are you seeing spikes during your acquisition periods?  Are these spikes causing user issues?  If the answer is yes, then you should definitely back off the schedule.  Either explore dynamic UT or just reduce acquisition to once or twice per day.

  • LMS 3.2 User Tracking 10GE trunk to HP BladeSystem c7000 w. Virtual Connect Flex10

    Hi All,
    situation:
    LMS 3.2
    Cat6509 w. 4 port 10 GE module connected with trunk to
    HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure
    with
    HP Virtual Connect Flex-10 10Gb Ethernet Module
    with
    #20 of ESX servers, Citrix
    UT settings: "config trunk for end host disc. = enable on this trunk."
    No show for connected MAC's of the server and end hosts (Citrix sessions).
    Note: this works well for a ESX based DL380 server connected with 1GB trunk to a C3750.
    Why is this not working for this Cat6509 configuration ?
    Is the 10 GE port supported in Campus manager?
    regards,

    Hi Joseph,
    Long time ago I started this discussion about UT support for portchannels. Right now we're on the level of LMS 4.2, do you know if there is any progress made with support for UT on portchannels?
    Kind regards

  • LMS 4.1 user tracking does not pull ip address from hosts on switches

    New install discovered router and switches at same location with no issues. However when running an acquisition on those switches most fields are populated except the ip address of end host associated with port. Mac address, port speed, etc. but no ip address info on per port basis. Any ideas, using snmp v3 if that makes a difference.
    Sent from Cisco Technical Support iPad App

    Thanks for this.  This really clarified things in my head.  I didn't realize that you were not seeing MACs in UT.  This is a new feature of LMS 4.1.  UT will show those ports that are up/up even if the MAC address cannot be determined.  The reason the MAC address cannot be determined is that your switch code is too old.  You need 12.2(25)SEE or higher to support SNMPv3 contexts necessary to poll MAC addresses.  If you upgrade, then configure the following for each VLAN context (seen in "show snmp context") then you should see those MACs (then IPs):
    snmp-server group v3group v3 context vlan-10

  • User tracking problem - lms 3.2

    Noticed a pretty weird one. LMS 3.2 on windows 2008.
    Everything had been running normally. A while back we noticed the user tracking
    tables diminishing, and found out it was due to a bug in the code we were running
    on our 4500s. So we started an upgrade cycle and the tables started growing again.
    UT runs fine, but there is nothing newer than Feb 25th. Even if I do a manual UT discovery
    it seems to run fine, but there are no new entries in the table, or rather nothing with the
    last seen date of today when I just ran it.
    I did do the usual, run the logBackup script, clean some other log files, I even rebooted
    the server, but it still doesn't update with any new UT entries. I have checked and can
    do snmpwalks per vlan on the cam tables, so I don't believe it's anything with the switches,
    I think this is something within UT or campus.
    I would be happy to send up any log files that might be useful. Thanks - chris

    Gaganjeet,
    that's interesting (and frustrating). In the screenshot I sent yesterday, the UT count is 12500. We should be well over 13000 end hosts.
    In doing a search through the UT.log, one of the IPs that is not showing up when I search user tracking is:
    2011/03/28 10:02:06 EvalTask-vmpsadmin-05 VmpsAdminSMFGetIpXlateTable: router=10.255.3.130 ip=10.242.9.15
    mac=00-19-99-91-a1-14 subnet=10.242.9.0 mask=255.255.255.0 vtp=PETERSACC_10.255.3.130(T) vlan=PETERS-C-USER-1
    vlan Index=1709
    It is clearly in the logfile. But if you refer to the attached screenshot titled peters-ut-screenshot, if I search on just 10.242, I get
    "no end hosts found". This site was brought online a couple weeks ago.
    The second screenshot, titled PACS-subnet, shows no end hosts found. This is due to the SW bug we found in 12.2.50-sg8 and
    the entries already having been purged. This switch was upgraded to 12.2.53-sg3 on March 14th so the entries should be showing
    up. I have not searched ut.log for this subnet. The bug we found with 12.2.50-sg8 was that an snmpwalk of the mac tables, per vlan,
    returned nothing. With 12.2.53-sg3, an snmpwalk of the mac tables per vlan does return the mac tables per vlan.
    The third screenshot is just searching on 10.255, which covers our datacenter. While there are a lot of entries, the "last seen" date
    is Feb 25th. As these servers are always on, I would expect to see the last seen date as yesterday when the last ut run was executed.
    I have not searched ut.log for any of these entries.
    So it does indeed appear that the ut discovery finds the end hosts. But when you pull up the user tracking utility to search, there is nothing newer
    than February 25th. I hope this helps.
    Thanks again for the help, I appreciate it - chris
