NCS Prime 2.1 LAN switch addition

Hello,
Im exploring adding the wired side of the network into prime(2.1). I have added the range of switches and IOS below. Only some appear to be returning client IP addressing.
Is the IOS im using out of date? Or NCS issue?
thanks

Hi Marvin,
I thought that but I've had mixed results. The 3750x(IOS 15) is L2 and can see the client IP addresses. The other 3750 (IOS12.2) is L3 cannot get Any client data
I have now added the 6509 core, running 12.2(33)SXJ3 and its finding only 4 clients. Im now back to thinking, IOS 15 is required for full client visibility.

Unable to Push the Config Frm NCS prime to CIsco WIreless Lan Controller

Hi Guys,
We have an issue with NCS prime, in our Network.
We run NCS prime 1.3 and Around 10 Wireless Lan Controllers (5508 & 4404) Models.
We are trying to Push a ACL Config Template from NCS to Wireless lan Controllers.
This ACL is already created before in WLCs, now we created the templates in NCS with few rules added and planning to push Configs from NCS template.
We are receiving errors SNMP operation to device failed. I am pretty sure it is not an SNMP issue.
Any inputs on this is much appreciated

Hi Scott.
I
I tried deleting the ACL from Controller totally and tried pushing it. it was not working neither
Raised a case with Cisco. They asked for few trace logs from NCS , told will check and get back to me.
IS there any more inputs, you can provide, which i can try to test it?
Regards
Safwan

you can load you IOS from the tftpd32 , first donload tftpd32 from google its free, run it but make it sure that you have you IOS image bin file in you PC, then , follow these steps ,
STEP 1.
                Store the IOS image on the computer in any drive with its original name .
STEP2.
           Connect the Switch to the Computer through straight cable.
STEP 3.
             Come to the Switch , come in the enable or privilege mode by entering   enable
             Then come to the configuration mode , type config terminal push enter
           Now type interface fast Ethernet or giga Ethernet port what ever the port is connected to the PC , example interface fast Ethernet 0/1 then push enter
Now give ip address, like
Ip address 1.1.1.1 255.0.0.0   enter
No shut   enter
STEP 3 .
                 Come to the PC GO TO THE NETWORk CARD and give the ip address 1.1.1.2 subnet mask 255.0.0.0 gateway 1.1.1.0 nothing else.
STEP 4.
             Now download    tftpd32 you can get it on google download it AND RUN IT . AFTER THAT OPEN THE TFTP WHICH WILL BE ON DESKTOP , DOUBLE CLICK IT AND COME TO current directory and brows the IOS IMAGE FILE where you save that and select that it will then comes to the current directory , now below current directory you will see server interface , in front of that you will have to click show dir and see that the IOS file can be seen .
STEP 5. COME TO THE SWITCH AGAIN , GO in enable mode.
Type this.
                   Copy tftp flash. Push enter
                 It will ask you the name and address of remote host ?
Give the IP ADDRESS of the system , 1.1.1.2 and push enter .
Now it will ask you about the source file name ?
Copy the file name from pc where the IOS IMAGE which is saved on the PC and past on the switch and type.bin in the end and push enter.
Now the SWITCH will ask you about the destination file name , you can create your own name or use the same default name that is saved on the PC which you copy past on switch , after entering the name push enter. NOW WAIT FOR 10 MINUTES IF IT WILL ASK YOU SOMETHING PUSH ENTER AND WAIT FOR THE IMAGE TO UPLOAD.
AFTER THAT COME TO THE enable mode and type wr and the type reload and wait for the reboot process, in case you are using same destination file name as kept on the pc otherwise. Look below
If you have create your own choice name then,
Come to configuration mode , by typing config terminal push enter.
Type this command
   Boot system switch all flash:/new name that you have created and type.bin in the end push enter.
Now type exit come to the enable mode .
Type WR push enter.
Now run these commands for verification.
Show boot. ( after running this command check if the file name of the IOS is there then its ok )
Dir flash. ( after running this command check if the file name of the IOS is there then its ok )
Now TYPE THE LAST COMMAND
Reload and allow the switch to reboot and wait .

Cisco NCS Prime - Possible Database Issue?!

Hello;
I appear to have problems with our NCS Prime database, I am running NCS in HA environment and over the last few months been running on the secondary server and collecting reports fine.
After failing back I have noticed that no data appears when I run reports on have a "flat-line" on all reports which gather data such as Client Traffic, once I failed back again to run on the secondary server in an attempt to gather some data the same problem occurs. I do however seem to have a small peak in data last night for 4 hours but this then dropped off.
Is there any way to see if I have lost the historical data?
Thanks
John

Issues I have seen is from upgrading. Have you upgraded to PI 1.3 or was PI 1.3 a greasy install? Also they might have some commands that they will have you issue or they will issue, but it's better for them to give you those than telling you what to issue because you don't want to loose everything.

How to Re-Install Cisco NCS Prime in vmware appliance?

I'm attempting to do an Eval on NCS to see if it's worth pursuing this year or wait until next budget year and I'm having quite a bit of trouble, which is pushing me towards the "this sucks" category. My initial setup of NCS Prime went by with out a hitch until the NCS service tried to start and threw what looked like and Oracle DB error. Not being able to figure out how to re-install from the vmware appliance it's self, I had to kill the appliance and redo. This time, after asking me the typical and simple question of ip address and etc, it hung on trying to complete the setup of the app and ate up 16gig on my vmware box. Now, I realize that there is a maintenance release available as of last Friday, but my question is, instead of having to redo the enter appliance, how can I force the appliance to attempt a re-installation of NCS so that hopefully I can get to the point where I just do the maintenance upgrade? I would figure there would have be some way to re-install NCS in the vmware appliance with out re-installing the entire appliance in a support scenerio correct?
-Raun

If you mount the DVD image for the Vmware appliance so that it boots "on the dvd", you would have the option to reimage. No need to "recreate" the whole setup then.
Normally once it's installed, the upgrades don't require to re-image but you seem to be having troubles. The problem with Vmware installation is that it's hard to evaluate if the problem comes from the NCS or from the vm setup itself.

NCS Prime prompting for login and password after re-imaging from dvd

Dear All,

Restoring the NCS Database
If you are restoring the NCS database in a high availability environment, see the "Restoring the NCS Database in a High Availability Environment" section. To restore the NCS database from a backup file. follow these steps:
Step 1 To view all local repository backups, use the below command:
show repository backup_repo
Note If possible, stop all NCS user interfaces to stabilize the database.
Step 2 Manually shutdown the platform as root.
Step 3 Using the CLI, perform one of the following:
•Restore the appliance and application backup by entering the following command:
restore testbackup-yymmdd-xxxx.tar.gpg repository backup_repo
•Restore only the application backup by entering the following command:
restore testbackup-yymmdd-xxxx.tar.gpg repository backup_repo application NCS
Step 4 Click Yes if a message appears indicating that NCS is running and needs to be shut down.
Note If the restore process shuts down NCS, a restart is attempted after a successful restore. The appliance will then restart and you will have to again login and restart the dbserver, and the platform manually as root (make sure you do not start with dbclean, else you will loose your recently restored data).
The CLI displays messages indicating that the NCS database is being restored.

NCS Prime Wireless Management

Hello,
We have recently purchased Cisco NCS Prime for our Cisco Wireless project. Before installation we need to confirm that NCS
prime will be compatible with ESXi v5.0, as the release notes refer to
ESXi v4.0 and v4.1 only.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/docs/wireless/ncs/1.0/release/notes/
NCS_RN1.0.1.html
Many thanks
Jonathan.

Hi Chris,
1. No.
2. There is a symptom of the following bug:
CSCtw52442 NCS: Lobby Ambassador user can access the home page.
Installing Chrome frame plugin for IE browser in NCS is a requirement as documented in the release notes. This caveat is to address the issue where lobby ambassador users are getting access to the NCS home page to which they have no privileges for. For your IE users, install chrome frame plugin which should take care of it.

Cisco Prime Infastructure connectivity to Switches

I am running into an issue with Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1 and a couple of our switches. When I initially added these Cisco 2960's to Prime the had connectivity and they discovered everything correctly. After a couple of days I can no longer ping my two switches from Prime and Prime from my two switches, I get an unreachable error. There is no ACL that would be preventing connectivity. Any suggestion on what this may be?

This was caused by interface vlan 1 not being shut down on the switch. Cisco Prime sits on vlan 1 and when it hit the switch it was trying to route back out on vlan 1 which has no ip address assigned.

NCS Prime 1.0 Eval License

I'm trying to get/install the 10 device eval license on a new NCS Prime 1.0 virtual appliance. I downloaded what I thought was the the right eval license but get this error when installing.
udi of file does not match the system
All I can find in the licensing guide is is this:
Cisco Prime NCS Evaluation Licenses
Cisco Prime NCS can be used in a lab or in an evaluation setting with the following license: NCS-10-DEMO. This provides an evaluation license for 10 devices, for a duration of 30 days. If you need a custom device count or duration, please contact your Cisco representative.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
--Patrick

I got it up and running this way :
1. Downloaded the NCS-VA-1.0.1.4-small.ova from cisco.com
2. Got it up and running on VmWare, run the guided setup..
3. Logged into the Gui
4. In the "License Center" you can see "product id" and "serial number" of the virtual appliance.
5. Used the "product id" and "serial number" to request a demo license on : cisco.com/go/license - "Demo and Evaluation Licenses" - NCS Demo 1.0 -
6. Download it and add it in license center
Now you have a 100 device license for 30 days

NCS Prime 2.1 Percentage of Licenses used on WLC2504

Is there an exportable report that can be run on NCS Prime Infra 2.1 that will provide an AP count percentage of licenses used for each controller?
Attached is a screen shot of a visual of what I want in an exportable excel file for WLCs.

Thank you, however, I need to export information that will tell me the percentage of licenses used of the total by each WLC.
I have many hundreds of WLCs and need a spreadsheet that will tell me how many licenses each individual WLC has and what percentage each WLC is using of their total.

NCS Prime 1.3 Controller Audit Status Mismatch

When performing an audit from NCS Prime 1.3 on our 5508 controllers (500 lic) we are getting mismatch messages from many of our 3602i AP's that say the following...
(Type)Configuration Name Audit Status Attribute Prime Infrastructure Value Controller Value
(AP APname, Interface) 802.11a/n Mismatch Spectrum Intelligence true false
These AP's are not configured as Spectrum Intelligence on the controllers, rather as local. It seems that NCS believes that they are supposed to be SI. We have refreshed the config from controller many times but this does not change.
The 5508's run v.7.2.111.3
Is there a change I can make on NCS or otherwise to make this mismatch go away? Is this a bug? It is not causing any problems (that we can see) but as most would rather not have these mismatches.
Much Thanks!

Well when you do an audit, you specify what templates you want to audit the WLC's against. So take a look at when you perform an audit as to what tempted you have chosen. This could of been an old template and needs to be removed.

LAN switched network

anyone know what the average bandwidth for a company based on LAN games and Online games are?
(it could be any game)
what factors must take into account to design a LAN switched network based on hierarchical model?

Joseph, How can I minimun latency in LAN as well no packet loss? with protocols, switches,...How packet transmission latency is reduced when all of hosts are connected to access switches on 100Mbps? why not 10 or 1000Mbps?
"... or gig." = 1000 Mbps
Why not 10 Mbps? Because transmission latency, for any size packets is reduced as bandwidth is increased.
How no packet loss? With sufficient bandwidth so there's little need to queue, and if you do need to queue (which again we want to avoid), sufferient buffering so packets aren't dropped.
on the other hand, imagine for a LAN game you need 1Mbps bandwidth. There are 4 VLANs(12,24,36,48 users in each VLAN) and you must use hierarchical model( access,distribution and core layers) and just are allowed to use VLAN,Trunk,VTP,DTP and Rapids PVST+.How can I reache to this amount of bandwidth in LAN?
Why must you use hierarchical model? Modern data center designs, which are aimed at minimum latency, often no longer use the 3 layer design.
If you have multiple VLANs, and we cannot route, hosts won't be able to contact hosts on other VLANs.
Don't understand your last question.

NDIS driver for LAN switch

Hi everybody,
we have an i.MX6 processor connected via RMII (ENET) to an LAN switch (KSZ8873MLL) having two PHY ports available.
I am using as basis the NDIS driver included in the Adeneo' WEC2013 BSP for i.MX6. The driver is implemented to be used with only one physical transceiver. In that sense, adjusting the PHY address in the driver I can work with one and only one
port currently. Both are working, but exclusively.
I am a little confused about the steps that I have to do to convert the driver to allow handling two (or more) PHY ports simultaneously.
I hope that someone may give me some hints and advice to achieve that.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Alexander

Hi,
thanks for your reply.
When the driver starts, it iterates different PHY addresses (0...32) until it gets responds via MDIO bus from any PHY device.
When it finds the first PHY (in my case, the first address PHY is one), it uses that PHY address to access the standard MII registers to check status, autonegotiation, speed, capabilities an so on. Since the routine stops when it finds the first PHY,
it does not configure/initialize the second PHY port (address two).
After that, all the media status changes are obtained using the PHY address one. That is the reason, I don't get any notification whe I plug/unplug the Ethernet cable in the second port.
In the past, I while ago, I used another device having a switch and as far as I remember I have to do nothing in the driver to get it working, and I think that is what you are trying to tell me. Actually in the KSZ8873MLL's datasheet it states that
it operates in store and forward mode...
Thanks.
Alex

CER Lan Switch Configuration

We have the following configuration:
Networks:
10.20.1.1 - vlan 1 - default
10.20.2.1 - vlan 2 - voice
10.20.3.1 - vlan 3 - management
10.20.1.1 - 10.20.2.1 - 10.20.3.1 - 3845 router
10.20.3.9 - 3750 switch (connected to router)
10.20.3.10 - 2960 switch (connected to 3750)
10.20.3.11 - 2960 switch (connected to 3750)
10.20.2.x - phones connected to both 2960 switch
I am a bit confused as to how to configure (CER) for the following:
1) Do I need to have both a voice address (10.20.2.x) and a management address (10.20.3.x) on the switches?
2) SMNP Settings - IP Address/Host Name - 10.20.3.* or should it be 10.20.2.* or both?
3) LAN Switch Details - Switch Host Name/IP Address - 10.20.3.9 (3750 switch) or should it be 10.20.2.9. Do I need to enter
10.20.3.10 (2960 switch) and 10.20.3.11 (2960 switch) as well?
4) IP Subnets - Subnet ID - 10.20.0.0. Is this correct or should it be something else?

In local mode, the AP doesn't know anything about dot1q trunking. It tunnels all the traffic back to the WLC.
In FlexConnect, you configure the WLAN to VLAN mapping on a per AP basis.
