NCS 1.0.1.4

I am using NCS 1.0.1.4 and was trying to add
Cisco IOS Software, Catalyst 4500 L3 Switch Software (cat4500e-LANBASEK9-M), Version 12.2(54)SG1, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1). I get a successfully addedd message, but I see the message saying the device is not supported
Reachable and Unsupported device.
This is the status of the device in the Unknown devices list.But the Release note says is 4500 is supported
What has gone wrong while adding the device
Regards
NikhiL

There are issues with 29xx and 45xx devices with NCS 1.0. Ideally it is very old and you should atleast upgrade it to NCS 1.2 where it is fixed. It may be defect such as # CSCtt05823.

NCS reports email as zip files

I recently migrated from WCS to NCS and since the migration all the reports are being sent inside a zip file. I remember having this issue when I first installed WCS many years ago, however I am unsure what was done to correct it. I have checked the Administration section of NCS to try and find the setting but no luck or within the Report Launch pad on any of the migrated reports or the new reports.
I don't want them sent as zip files but as either native CSV or PDF as specified within the appropriate report. The reports are never that big to need compressing into a zip plus the mail server they send through will accept up to 20-25MB attachments which is much greater than the native size of any of the reports generated through NCS or WCS.

I agree, I email quite a few csv reports and the file size is typically under 1k. It is strange they don't making the zip file an option instead of doing it mandantory with every e-mail. I find it very cumbersome when dealing with 10 - 12 reports and having to unzip every file first.

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 is not working https & ncs

Prime NCS floor calibration issues... Has anyone gotten it to work?

I am trying to use NCS floor calibration and collecting data points using my laptop. I am having a problem where over 100% of the time it says "No data points collected starting from location (x,y)" Laptop has Intel 6300 in it.
After spending an hour or two trying to get it to work, I tried another machine. This next machine has an Intel 5300.Neither machine will work with floor calibration. Both machines are on our wireless network and can browse the internet.
Can someone please tell me why this is? or if I'm doing something wrong? Or if this is normal?
Thanks for your help.

NCS 2.1.1 - strange behavior with wired clients

Hello guys!
I have a problem regarding the NCS 2.1.1. I have the NCS 2.1.1 connected with the ISE 1.2.1 patch 1. and have a handful of switches configured into the ncs.
If a client connects, with 802.1x port security the ncs takes AGES to register the fact. If it does, the window often doesn´t show the correct status:
As you can see, the status in the first line ist "disassociated" and in the client attributes field - its associated, authorization succeeded.
If you disconnect the client, it might take a hour or more for the ncs to register the fact. and yes, I have configured the snmp traps up / down / change and what not, on the switches..

Issue with backup NCS via NFS (Cisco Prime NCS 1.2.0)

Hello,
Does someone have issue with backup NCS via externally mounted location (NFS)?
I have Cisco Prime NCS 1.2.0 and tried backup it to external resources, but I have issue with my free space:
NCS/admin# backup ncs repository backup_nfs
% Creating backup with timestamped filename: ncs-130131-0534.tar.gpg
INFO : Cannot configure the backup directory size settings as the free space available is less than the current database size.
You do not have enough disk space available in your repository to complete this backup.
DB size is 25 GB
Available size is 12 GB
Please refer to the command reference guide for NCS and look at the /backup-staging-url/ command reference to setup the backup repository on an externally mounted location
Stage 5 of 7: Building backup file ...

Stage 7 of 7: Transferring backup file ...

I have tried to add additional space and use command backup-staging-url (my configuration: backup-staging-url nfs://server2008:/nfs), but it didn't help me.
NFS share works perfect. I have checked it via NFS repository:
repository backup_nfs

Everytime when I try create backup I receive error message "You do not have enough disk space available in your repository to complete this backup".
Does someone know how can I backup NCS system?
Thank you

How much space is availabe on that NFS mount point? It looks like to me from the error message that there is only 12 GB....
The backup-staging-url is just for a space used to stage the backup before it is written-----

Message on WCS/NCS: Attempted to use IP Address assigned to another device

Hi
i have two WLCs AIR-CT5508-K9, monitored by WCS (in retiring stage) and NCS.
All APs are grouped in HREAP groups based on their locations. The wireless users are getting ip from a dhcp pool running on routers located at each site. All dhcp commands on every routers are the identical. Eg. rtr1, located on site 1 has ip pool for wifi users 192.168.8.0/24. Rtr2 on site 2 has a ip pool for wifi users in range 192.168.8.0/24. Occasionally i am getting bellow message when some wifi users are unable to connect. After creating a HREAP group and associating APs to correct group, this message stops showing for a while but now i am getting them again.
The temp solution to get it all running is to clear ip dhcp pool on router located at affected site.
Any suggestions for a better solution?
Thanks
====================
NCS has detected one or more alarms of category Security and severity Minor in Virtual Domain ROOT-DOMAIN
for the following items:
1. Message: Client '14:5a:05:6c:75:37 (0.0.0.0)' which was associated with interface '802.11b/g/n' of AP 'STV-AP-7198' is excluded. The reason code is '3(Attempted to use IP Address assigned to another device)'. - Controller Name: GEORGE-WLC
===================

endpoint,
You are locally switching your networks, yes, but even without HREAP and WLCs, they are still connected networks in your overall topology, correct? I would never have site A with a given network that overlaps with a network in site B. With few exceptions, they should be completely separate, unique, non-overlapping network spaces. HREAP doesn’t even come into it.
The problem you’re likely having is that the WLC is seeing clients coming in from two different sites and because you are duplicating your configurations from site to site, the WLC sees duplicate IP assignment.
That said, you can try to turn off client IP address learning on the WLAN Advanced tab to see if that helps.

How to create a csv file with NCS attributes?

Hi
i installed Cisco Prime NCS and trying to perform bulk update of device credentials with csv file.
How to create a csv file with all required attributes?
This is part of NCS online help talking about this topic:
Bulk Update Devices—To update the device credentials in a bulk, select Bulk Update Devices from the Select a command drop-down list. The Bulk Update Devices page appears.You can choose a CSV file.
Note The CSV file contains a list of devices to be updated, one device per line. Each line is a comma separated list of device attributes. The first line describes the attributes included. The IP address attribute is mandatory.
Bellow is test csv file i created but does not work:
10.64.160.31,v2c,2,10,snmpcomm,ssh,zeus,password,password,enablepwd,enablepwd,60
10.64.160.31,v2c,2,10,snmpcomm,ssh,zeus,password,password,enablepwd,enablepwd,60
The error i am getting while importing this file:
Missing mandatory field [ip_address] on header line:10.64.160.31,v2c,2,10,snmpcomm,ssh,zeus,password,password,enablepwd,enablepwd,60
Assistance appreciated.

It looks like the IP address field is incorrectly set.,
It should be as follows
{Device IP},{Device Subnet Mask}, etc etc
so a practical example of the aboove could be (i dont know if this is completely correct after the IP address / Subnet Mask)
10.64.160.31,255.255.255.0,v2c,2,10,snmpcomm,ssh,zeus,password,password,enablepwd,enablepwd,60

Upgrade WCS 7.0 to PI 1.2 via NCS 1.1

I have done the upload of the XML File from our WCS 7.0 installation to get the License File. But on the NCS 1.1 installation the following License is needed first (Cisco Prime Network Control System 1.1 Config Guide):
NoteBefore adding the licenses that are migrated from your WCS installation, apply the L-WCS-NCS1-M-K9 license. The licenses migrated from WCS are generated as “ADD” licenses, and you cannot apply them unless you apply the L-WCS-NCS1-M-K9 license.
L-WCS-NCS1-M-K9 is the Product Number to do the upgrade from WCS 7.0 to NCS 1.0, R-WCS-PI11-M-K9 is the product number to dothe upgrade from WCS 7.0 to NCS/PI 1.1.
If I try to install just the License File I get from Cisco using the XML file from our WCS 7.0 installation, I get the error "Unable to add any license without an NCS (L-NCS-1.0-K9) license.".
But how do a get this license if I ordered R-W-PI12-M-K9 (WCS 7.0 to PI1.2 Upgrade License)? What is the step to get the right License?
Many thanks in advance for any help on that issue.
Best regards,
Hans

Hello Joe,
no. The information in the deployment Guide (the link i proveded before) is wrong.
You still need to follow the upgrade path WCS 7.0 -> NCS 1.1 (here you have to use for example 1.1.1.24, because 1.1.2.12 cannot be upgraded to PI 1.2), then you can upgrade NCS 1.1 to PI 1.2 (if you upgraded the WCS to NCS 1.1.1.24 you need to install a patch ncs_patch-1.1.1.24-upgrade-12.gz, for other 1.1 releases you need a different patch).
The major problem was the licensing. Because with the order of the Upgrade Licenses from WCS 7.0 to PI 1.2 I got "normal licenses", for PI 1.2, a Base License and Lifecycle Licenses (the number of Lifecycle Licenses matches the number from the order).
Because we ordered the WCS 7.0 to PI 1.2 Upgrade Licenses I also ordered the NCS Appliance with the PI 1.2 (before I thought a direct upgrade from WCS 7.0 to PI 1.2 should be possibel, why not, if you can order the licenses with the description Upgrade License WCS 7.0 to PI 1.2 :-)). So I had to downgrade the NCS Appliance to NCS 1.1. After the downgrade the NCS Appliance came up without any licenses. So the major porblem was that I could not use the PI 1.2 licenses (they are not installable on NCS 1.1). So I got a demo/temporary license from Cisco for NCS 1.1 to do just the migration. After the final upgrade to PI 1.2 I installed the base and the lifecycle licenses and now everything is fine.
Best regards,
Hans

SNMPv3 on Cisco 2960-S Switch to NCS

[SOLVED] Upgrade from SLES10 SP3 & OES2 SP2 to SP4/SP3 breaks NCS

Hi folks,
(This post was originally meant to be a rant and a request for help, but
while writing the final paragraph i found the solution. It's still a
rant, but i figured i'd post my solution here in case someone else runs
into the same issue.)
I've just spent several hours banging my head against a broken cluster
node. My system is a 32-bit SLES 10 VM running on VMware ESX 3.5.x.
I upgraded from SLES10 SP3 and OES2 SP2 to the next service packs for
each (using the move-to-oes-sp3 script in yast2 online_update).
Everything went well for the first few update/reboot sequences, then
after the final reboot on SLES10 SP4 & OES2 SP3, cluster services would
not load or join the cluster on restart.
I checked dmesg and found errors about "Loading module compiled for
kernel version 2.6.16.60-0.54.5-vmi" into a previous kernel version, so
i tried downgrading to that kernel version, only to find that it was
older than the one i had just upgraded from (it's the original SLES10
SP3 kernel). So i tried upgrading back to the same kernel which is
running on the other cluster node (2.6.16.60-0.77.1-vmi), but that did
not work any better.
<preaching>
I have to say that i'm not impressed that OES2 SP3 isn't even compiled
against the appropriate kernel, and because of SUSE's kernel RPM
overwrite policy there's no way i can select to boot from a previous
kernel to see if that fixes things. Note to SUSE and other distro
builders: if you're not doing kernel package upgrades like Red Hat or
Ubuntu (so that we can select to boot from the previous kernel from the
boot menu), you're doing it *WRONG*.
</preaching>
I then upgraded again to the latest recommended kernel for SLES10 SP4,
and still no joy. Dmesg shows this error before the rot starts:
allocation failed: out of vmalloc space - use vmalloc=<size> to increase
size.
When searching for this error i stumbled across
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132
which pointed me to
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Common_Pr...lloc_too_small
Adding vmalloc=192M to /boot/grub/menu.lst and rebooting solved the
problem for me.
Regards,
Paul

The system in question has kernel-bigsmp and kernel-vmi installed. We
only ever boot from kernel-vmi.

When we installed the system (on OES2 SP1, i believe) it was a while
ago, and kernel-vmi with clocksource=acpi_pm on the kernel command line
was the only solution we could find to get reliable time. If there are
updated best-practice documents, i'd be happy to hear about them.
However, this is a production cluster and my boss is (rightly) rather
reticent to make major changes.
Paul
the official Vmware paper on time is that IF you're using SLES 10.x 32-bit you will use VMI and NO kernel params (ie, get rid of the clockpit and clocksource=blah).
But if 64-bit then you're okay.
The easiest, IMO (especially with vmware) is to use the miggui (migration utility). That's how I'm converting all my 32-bit servers in vmware to 64-bit. Works quite well.

NCS and non US keyboard layout - Guest - Email ID and @

Problem:
The problem is that we cannot email the Guest Account Details to the guest, because the popup where we fill in the email of the guest - Email ID - Does not recognise the @ when using non US Keyboard layout.
When i use my local keyboard layout (Danish) and press AltGr+2 (this is the keyboard "shortcut" for @) it writes nothing.
When i switch to US keyboard layout and press Shift+2 it writes @ fine.
Version:
Tried this in both 1.0 and I just upgraded to 1.1 and it is still the same.
Does anyone know of a open BugID that addresses the following problem on the NCS Lobby Ambasador page ?

Thomas,
Have you tried it from different machines and different OSes and confirmed that the common denominator is NCS and not your specific KB/OS setup?

NCS Prime 1.4 does not display previous AP WLAN-VLAN mappings

Hi,
Just wondering if others have experienced this issue. I upgrade our Prime NCS from 1.3 to 1.4 last night. Upgrade appeared successful but today when looking through the web interface for testing I noticed that the 'Access Point Details' (Configure > Access Points > Access point details" no longer displays the flex connect vlan mappings which previously were shown in 1.3.
When clicking on the WLAN-VLAN Mappings tab nothing appears there too? I tried to apply the wireless configuration template again but received an error.
Has anyone had this issue? On the WLC, these configurations are still intact with the correct vlan-mappings so it only appears to be NCS that is having the issues.
Only thing I can see from the release notes regarding NCS 1.4 Flexconnect VLAN mappings is CSCug17718. But this caveat is under the resolved section.
Cheers,
Wil

Cheers thanks for the reply.
I figured out what the problem was. Appears that Audit status has mismatches but once another audit is done it appears to display vlan mappings with at the access point detail page.
Now... to figure out how to perfect bulk audits..
Anyways thanks for your advice.

Migrate from WCS 7.0.172.0 to Cisco Prime NCS

Is there anyway to migrate off of WCS to Prime NCS? We have a fully built WCS system with maps and all configs and was wondering if there was a way to restore to NCS.

Yes, this is possible. Here is the link from the NCS release notes on the process.
