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
Configuration Deploy Protocols: HTTPS, SCP, SSH, RCP
Configuration Fetch Protocols: HTTPS, SCP, SSH, RCP

  • 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-
    Afroz

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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,

  • 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 not finding any hosts in Ciscoworks LMS 3.1

    L.S.
    Our test-configuration is as follows:
    Application versions:
    Ciscoworks LMS 3.1
    Ciscoworks Common Services 3.2.0
    Campus Manager 5.1.4
    We have 31 managed devices in Campus Manager (data has been collected on all),

    The device are: 2 6509 cores (running IOS s72033_rp-IPSERVICESK9_WAN-M version 12.2(18)SXF8), 1 ASA firewall (running ASA-OS version 8.0.5) and 29 switches (2960 and 3560 models both running ios version 12.2(52)SE). The switches are connected as follows:
    User tracking jobs are running normally, but aren't finding any end-hosts or IP phones at all (I suspect around 250-500 hosts+ on these switches)

    I'm slowly getting to a dead end here. What am I missing?

    Well, our problem was resolved finally through a weird coincendence after having a websession with a Cisco TAC engineer (TAC case SR 613376661)
    We changed the
    snmp-server group readonly v3 auth context vlan-xxxx
    commands in the switches to:
    snmp-server group writeonly v3 auth context vlan-xxxx
    that is: use the writestring in the snmp-server groups instead of the read string.
    After we changed that, all of the User Tracking mysteriously started working.
    As far as I know, the writestring should not be needed, but apparently it is....
    Is there any explanation for this?

  • LMS 3.2 and user tracking problem

    rme 4.3.1
    cm5.2.1
    cv 6.1.9
    dfm 3.2.0
    ipm 4.2.0
    portal 1.2.0
    cs 3.3.0
    cwasst 1.2.0
    running on windows server 2008.
    This was a clean bulid, and we imported all pertinent data from our old lms 2.6 server. This was in september 2010. Everything worked as expected and continues to work except for......
    We are in an upgrade cycle for our 4500s. We are upgrading from 12.2.50-sg4 to 12.2.50-sg8, and also upgrading rommon to 12.2.31r-sga4.
    It appears that user tracking is not working anymore for the upgraded 4500s. UT still runs, and works perfectly for all other devices, including the 4500s that have not been upgraded yet. I know this sounds goofy, but it really does seem to be the common denominator. I've checked the windows updates, package updates, etc in trying to figure out what made this happen. It really does all come back to upgrading to the above version. All aspects of this server are running great and as expected, it's just that UT for the upgraded 4500s isn't working anymore. I do run the logbackup script weekly (past experience has taught me to do this), and try and keep up with any patches or package updates, etc.
    If anyone has seen something similar or can suggest anything, I'd appreciate it. I think I am going to have to open a case on this. Thanks - chris

    Michel,
    Indeed, it looks like that is the problem. I guess I was focused in on CW rather than the whole picture. But yes, indeed, if I walk the mac table for a vlan on a 4500 that has not been upgraded it works. If I do the same on an upgraded one, I get nothing.
    The cautious optimism is that we do have a sup6 at our DR location that is running 12.2.53-sg1 and this test works on that switch. So as long as that
    version isn't deferred, we'll test that on one of the older sups to verify.
    So thanks for the help, I appreciate it - chris

  • LMS 4.0.1 and User tracking with SNMP v3

    Hi! (again )
    I've another problem with our new LMS 4.0.1.
    We manage our devices with SNMP v3 but the user tracking don't want to work flawlessly.
    I've attached an example from our SNMP configuration. Basicly it's the same in our devices.
    1st the problem was that no matter what I did the User tracking didn't want to find any host. I left it and worked on something else. After 2 weeks suddenly appeard couple of thousand end host.
    As earlier (LMS 2.6 or 3.2 with snmp v2) it is the same that LMS cannot differentiate normal end host and IP Phones although we have several thousand from both. But this is only one problem.
    The other is that there are switches with the same IOS and SNMP configuration and from one I get the UT data and from another one I didn't get anything. Only from some 4506 (aprox. 12-15) and 6506 (2) works and we have 20+ 4506 and 10+ 6506. Not to mention the other switches (couple of houndred 2960 and 3750).
    I'll be grateful if somebody could advice what to do.
    Thanks

    Understanding Debugger Utility
    The utility displays a report on the reasons why User Tracking failed to discover end hosts on specific ports.
    In many cases, User Tracking may not perform as expected. This may be  because of problems in other LMS applications. For instance LMS Server  may have devices that are not discovered or inadequate VLAN discovery in  Topology Services.
    You can run the utility to troubleshoot problems, or provide the report  and log generated by the utility when you contact TAC for help in  diagnosing problems.
    The debugger utility uses the data collected by LMS Server and reports the reasons for the missing ports in User Tracking.
    This tool also has an SNMP component embedded which runs an SNMP query  for the table as a part of verification for SNMP failure. For example,  SNMP bugs in Catalyst operating system because of which User Tracking  may fail to discover devices.
    This generates an Action Report that you can use to analyze the data.
    The Debugger Utility:
    1. Checks the switch ports in a sequential order.
    2. Reports violation of basic rules for each of the missing ports such as link ports and trunk ports.
    3. Checks for SNMP retrieval of data, if the ports pass the validity check.
    4. Generates an Action Report suggesting possible remedial actions to retrieve the valid missing ports.
    Using Debugger Utility
    The Debugger Utility is available at $NMSROOT/campus/bin/ (where $NMSROOT is the directory where you have installed CiscoWorks).
    To run the Debugger Utility, run the command:
    utdebug -switch switch-ip -port port1[,port2 ...] [-export filename]
    where,
    switch is the switch to which the end hosts are connected.
    ports are the ports on the switch which have missing end hosts User Tracking.
    -export filename specifies  that the debug messages be stored in the file specified. If this option  is not used, the messages are displayed on the console.
    For example,
    utdebug -switch 10.29.6.12 -port 5/12
    utdebug -switch 10.29.100.10 -port Fa0/10
    utdebug -switch 10.29.6.14 -port Gi6
    Pretty sure you will find this and perhaps more in the build in help of LMS
    Cheers,
    Michel
