Monitoring Power Supplies in Prime Infrastructure 2.1

Hi,
Prime Infrastructure is capable of monitoring the power supplies from Cisco devices? Where can I see this feature on PI 2.1? is there any option to enable this, if it's capable?
Thanks

There are two options :
1. You poll the devices for Power supply and see the report based on it.
2. You can configure your devices for environment traps and the device will send traps to PI which can be used as an alert/Alarm in PI.
Envmon traps in Cisco devices can be configured using snmp-server enable traps envmon command.
This command enables or disables Environmental Monitor (EnvMon) status notifications for supported systems. Cisco enterprise EnvMon notifications are triggered when an environmental threshold is exceeded. If none of the optional keywords are specified, all available environmental notifications are enabled.
When the shutdown keyword is used, a ciscoEnvMonShutdownNotification (enterprise MIB OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.13.3.1) is sent if the environmental monitor detects a testpoint reaching a critical state and is about to initiate a shutdown.
When the voltage keyword is used, a ciscoEnvMonVoltageNotification (enterprise MIB OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.13.3.2) is sent if the voltage measured at a given testpoint is outside the normal range for the testpoint (that is, at the warning, critical, or shutdown stage). For access servers, this notification is defined as the caemVoltageNotification (enterprise MIB OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.61.2.2).
When the temperature keyword is used, a ciscoEnvMonTemperatureNotification (enterprise MIB OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.13.3.3) is sent if the temperature measured at a given testpoint is outside the normal range for the testpoint (i.e. is at the warning, critical, or shutdown stage). For access servers, this notification is defined as the caemTemperatureNotification (enterprise MIB OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.61.2.1).
When the fan keyword is used, a ciscoEnvMonFanNotification (enterprise MIB OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.13.3.4) is sent if any one of the fans in a fan array fails.
When the supply keyword is used, a ciscoEnvMonRedundantSupplyNotification (enterprise MIB OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.13.2.5) is sent if a redundant power supply fails.
For a complete description of these notifications and additional MIB functions, see the CISCO-ENVMON-MIB.my and CISCO-ACCESS-ENVMON-MIB.my files, available on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/public/mibs/v2/.
Status of the Environmental Monitor can be viewed using the show environment command.
The snmp-server enable traps envmon command is used in conjunction with the snmp-server host command. Use the snmp-server host command to specify which host or hosts receive SNMP notifications. To send SNMP notifications, you must configure at least one snmp-server host command.

UPS monitoring support with Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2

Dear Members,
Good day,
I am having a project implemented wherein i have the UPS power redudancy solution for our network devices.
Now can anyone gide that is it possible for below :-
UPS units installed with SNMP cards be monitored via Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 as our monitoring & management solution is Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 ?
if yes
Can you guide if following action would be possible to export the below logs from UPS unit to our Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2
   a) UPS fault status information
   b) UPS operational status(input power available Y/N)
   c) Battery fault status
   d) Battery charging current
   e) Battery charge level
   f) Output current
Conclusion is we need to confirm that would it be posible to achieve remote monitoring of these UPS units via our CPI 1.2
Thanks in Advance for your support & replies to this query.
Regards,
Muzammil N.

Prime Infrastructure 1.2 can manage non-Cisco devices in a limited fashion via SNMP query and trap processing. It cannot import logs and does not have a generic syslog server,
So if your devices have snmp read only support and can generate SNMP traps for the above you can add them to PI. Follow the manual add device procedure here.

Monitoring ASA in Cisco Prime infrastructure 2.2

Hi everybody. I have some issue with cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2. We use this product in our network for monitoring network devices and I need to monitor also our ASA 5550 device with soft 8.4. I added ASA to Cisco PI but see only basic component like my device can reachable via and read via snmp. But cannot see CPU, RAM, Device ENV like Temperature, l2l vpn connection, Interfaces status and Utilization that interfaces, cannot see sub interface that placed on ASA like that g0/0.20. I need fully monitor ASA and See logs and trap for my device:
CPU RAM ENV (Temperature), Interface and sub interface status, L2L VPN Status.
1 Cisco Prime infrastructure can full support ASA for monitoring and logging.. IF YES how can i configure that features in Cisco PI 2.2 for ASA
2 IF not which product Can full support that features for full monitoring and logging ASA devices
I have a little deadline for finishing
thanks everybody before

I've not success monitoring ASA interface utilization either. I'm using PI 2.2 with device update #1. The ASA is a 5585-X with 9.2(3) software.
I have deployed the PI monitoring template to the ASA and do see its overall status and PI has enumerated the interfaces in the device page.
I even looked at a packet capture and see PI querying the values of the interface counters and those values being sent back to PI - yet I cannot select any ASA interface when drilling down under Performance Detail monitoring.
When I get some free time I will open a TAC case on it, meanwhile I am getting all the info I need from the upstream and downstream switches.

Prime Infrastructure 2.1 - Power supply alarms on switchs

Hi,
How can i manage to get a email if one of my power supply on a switch die (see the attached file).
I tried to activate all snmp traps possible on my switch and all i can get is configuration management events on PI.
I changed the Severity Configuration on PI for Environmental monitor detects a testpoint reaching a critical state to critical.
Any ideas?
Sorry for grammar, english is not my native language.

Prime Infrastructure monitor link Bandwidth

Hello,
I would like to know if is possible to monitor a link bandwidth with Cisco Prime Infrastructure and send an e-mail when the bandwidth utilization exceeds a certain threshold.
Thank you,
Marco Bartulihe

Hi Marco,
To monitor the Bandwidth utilization , you need to have "Assurance License" .
To use this feature "Interface Tx and Rx Utilization", your Prime Infrastructure
implementation must include Assurance licenses.
See below User Guide:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/prime/infrastructure/1.2/user/guide/capchange.html
Here is the Prime Infrastructure Ordering Guide where it explains the Assurance feature:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/netmgtsw/ps6504/ps6528/ps12239/guide_c07-714720

Monitoring end devices Prime Infrastructure 2.2

Hi every one.
We are doing a deployment of a Cisco Prime infrastructure 2.2 for one of our customers. He need to monitor the availability of some end devices over his network; devices like Pcs and PLCs (Programable Logical Control), this devices are connected to a cisco switch.
The customer wants to know the operative status of the devices and receive an email alert if one of them is off line.
I try to do it using the port group functionality, but is no working. Do you know any maner to do it?.
Please, in really I´m desperate. We need to show the solution next Wenesday 14th january.
Thanks in advance

Does Cisco Prime Infrastructure supports monitoring CPU,Memory, HDD for UCS , VMWare?

Does Cisco Prime Infrastructure supports monitoring CPU,Memory, HDD for UCS , VMWare?

Prime Infrastructure/ Assurance is positioned today more towards managing network elements and network performance, rather than server infrastructure. We are in the process of adding Datacenter component support, with more focus on Nexus and UCS- due later this year.
Having said that, Prime Infrastructure allows the system user to add custom SNMP polling templates, which can then be used for polling any SNMP based values from any SNMP enabled device. These can be used to collect the information you specified below and the polled information will be available in dashboards and reports.

Will Prime Infrastructure 2.0 monitor server 2008?

Prime Infrastructure 2.0 monitor server 2008? Will any of the future versions include system monitoring?
Thanks, Scott

It can do so in a limited way now. You need to enable the SNMP service on your server and set community strings etc.
Once you do that, you can add it as a device in Prime Infrastructure. I doubt it will ever be a complete system monitor like a server management tool. PI is fundamentally a network management tool.
FYI here are the steps for enabling SNMP agent on your Windows server:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb726987.aspx
Make sure to add your Prime server as an authorized host and setup the community string. Once you've done that, you should be able to sync with it as an added device in Device Center. Here is my Windows 2008 R2 server added thus in PI 2.0:

Ask the Expert: One Management with Prime Infrastructure 1.2

With Tejas Shah
Welcome to the Cisco Support Community Ask the Expert conversation. This is an opportunity to learn and ask questions from Cisco expert Tejas Shah on One Management with Prime Infrastructure 1.2 Combining the wireless functionality of Cisco Prime Network Control System (NCS) with the wired functionality of Cisco Prime LAN Management Solution (LMS), Cisco Prime Infrastructure simplifies and automates many of the day-to-day tasks associated with maintaining and managing the end-to-end network infrastructure from a single pane of glass. The new converged solution delivers all of the existing wireless capabilities for RF management, user access visibility, reporting, and troubleshooting along with wired lifecycle functions such as discovery, inventory, configuration and image management, automated deployment, compliance reporting, integrated best practices, and reporting.

Raun, please see my responses inline:
Can you go over the licensing method with Prime Infrastructure 1.2 please?
Raun, you can check out the following link for ordering guide at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps12239/products_data_sheets_list.html
I currently have NCS and do NOT currently have LMS. I know I can move to Prime Infrastructure through Cisco Product Upgrade Tool. However, what I am confused about is do I still have to buy LMS to have LMS functionality in Prime Infrastructure 1.2?
==> Not at all. The converged product will give you basic management capability for routers and switches that LMS provided in this release. Feature/Functionality will keep on growing with upcoming releases.
If not, do the licenses I transfer into Prime Infrastructure 1.2 from NCS also work for devices to work under LMS?
==> Licensing is different than NCS or LMS. You don't have to transfer the license. Each install of Prime Infrastructure will have a unique UID string on which the licenses are based. A new license will be applied to the product.
Mean, can my currently 350 licenses be used for AP's as in NCS and routers in the LMS portion of Prime Infrastructure 1.2?
==> I would recommend getting a total count of your wired and wireless devices and match the right SKU based on that.
Hope this helps.. Let me know if you have any further questions,
Tejas

What are the features supported in Cisco Prime Infrastructure for WLAN for autonomous AP's?

What are the features supported in Cisco Prime Infrastructure for WLAN for autonomous AP’s?

• PI provides visibility for autonomous clients within the same list view as lightweight and wired clients (client list page).
• Rogue AP detection for autonomous AP's is not supported (it's supported in CUWN).
• Alarms/events for client authentication issues (e.g. authentication failure) are displayed in PI.
• Config management for autonomous AP's is via CLI template. Config comparison and archiving functionality in PI leverages these same features that were brought in from LMS, so need to defer to others in terms of whether this is a cross-platform feature in PI or is only supported on a subset of platforms. Config comparison/archive is supported in CUWN.PI supports both infrastructure (e.g. AP Tx Power and Channel, busiest AP, AP utilization, etc.) and client (e.g. client count, client sessions, etc.) reports, and there are extensive reports for CUWN

Prime Infrastructure 2.1 Client Statistic Report Issues

Hello Community,
I hope you can help with a couple of issues I am seeing on Prime Infrastructure 2.1, running an evaluation 60 day license.
My PI 2.1 build is currently managing a WLC 5508 running 7.4.121.0, which has been added successfully. No configuration changes were applied to the WLCs, other than SNMP community. No AVC or medianet configuration is applied.
When looking in the 'Operate>Client and Users' dashboard; I can see connected clients and if I select one of them, I can see further details like session, security and client statistics (showing traffic and 802.11 metrics). These are the table views that show current values, however, further down I see graphs but they do not contain any information for RSSI, SNR or traffic sent & received (packets or bytes).
Question: Should I see this information under an evaluation license and if so, what could be stopping it?
Also, when I run the reports 'Report>Report Launch Pad' and select 'Client>Client Traffic' or 'Client>Client Throughput' the resulting report contains 0 bps, when I select 'Report By' AP by Floor Area. I have created a single floor area and placed three access points into it.
Out of interest if I do a report of the same type using 'Report By' All or AP by Controller, I do see traffic graphs for 3 out of 333 access points. Just not the access points that are in my floor area. Also the amount of traffic utilization is tiny (less than a kbps) for a WLC with 800 users.
For a 'Client>Client Count' report using AP by Floor Area, I do see the client numbers connected to the WLC/APs in my configured floor area.
Question: Should I see reports for client traffic and throughput under an evaluation license for floor areas and if so, what could be stopping it?
I have checked the background task and the 'Client Statistics' task is enabled and run time is being updated.
Kind regards,
Ian

Hi,
here is an update:
There are more than one Report you need to start to get data for Device, FAN, Power Supply, Module - look at these reports:
Report > Report Launch Pad > Device > Inventory
Report > Report Lauch Pad > Device > Wired Detailed Device Inventory
Report > Report Lauch Pad > Device > Wired Module Detail > Wired Module Detail Report Details
SFPs and GBICs cannot be reported til now - there are working on it.

User Name and Password for Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1

Hi all:
I am stuck at the login page of Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1.
I have tried using the user name root and its password (when log in with root at Vsphere Client) and also the login user name "before" get into the appliance infrastructure, all cannot work.
Anybody knows what is the default username or password or any way to set the username and password for this Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1 website?
Thanks!
tangsuan

Hi Tangsuan,
Following is the documented procedure for password recovery..
In order to modify the GUI root user password, you will need to login to the NCS CLI
as an admin user, and enter the command
"ncs password root password <new password>" (without the quotes)
This should set the web interface root user password :
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/ncs/1.1/configuration/guide/manag.html#wp1268889
If you have lost your CLI password , try the default logging that is ,
CLI user is admin and not root, so please try logging in as admin with
the password that was set during setup. If that does not work , you need
the install disk that came with the appliance to recover that password.
Follow these steps:
Recovering a Lost Admin Password
If you lose or forget the admin password for NCS appliance, follow these steps.
Step 1 Reboot the NCS appliance with the ISO DVD inserted. The Cisco Prime Network Control
System Welcome screen appears:

Prime Infrastructure 2.0 Automatically add remove devices

Dears,
I'm basically looking for a dcrcli equivalent to use on prime infrastructure 2.0.
Customer has a central repository of devices that must be monitored. When devices are added or removed there, they automagically appear or disappear in the other systems.
Does something like this exist or is this on the roadmap?
Cheers,
Michel

Hi Scott,
Upto 7.3 config guide it was documented we have to reboot WLC when we configuring SNMP v3 which is wrong. (here is 7.3 config guide link for reference). May be older version (prior to 7.0) had that requirement, not too sure about it
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/7.3/configuration/guide/b_wlc-cg_chapter_0100.html#d16741e4514a1635
From 7.4 onwards config guide does not talk about it all. I deleted the default SNMPv3 user & create a new user in 7.4 & add it to prime without rebooting WLC.
Once you configureed a SNMPv3 user on a WLC, I do no think you can edit/change the password. You have to delete the user & recreate it with modified username/password.Then re-add the WLC to prime
The behaviour you mentioned is with any of later codes of WLC ?

Cisco prime infrastructure not detect IP address of clients

hi all,
I have Cisco Prime infrastructure 1.2 and when move to monitor >> clients tab it lists me all the clients in my network but their IP address list estates "not detected" ?
please any advice?
I appreciate your kindly support.

Just an update that while this appears to have worked fairly well (as far as Cisco Management Planes go), there was one small 'gotcha' I've noticed so far:
After the services came back up, the entries for our RADIUS servers did not function. No, not because I didn't update the clients address record on the RADIUS server itself, but because the RADIUS server record(s) within CPI have a field called 'Local Interface IP' that still reflects the previous IP assigned to CPI. A quick edit/save with the new interface fixes up the issue however.
Cheers!
