Need assistance in Ciscoworks LMS 3.2 for enable monitoring of cisco switches

Hello,
I am new to the ciscoworks LMS 3.2. I have a task to add a devices in ciscoworks and configure the SNMP on the devices and ciscoworks both. My company has bought the ciscoworks LMS3.2 in 2009 december since then one engineer has configured some devices in it but not fully. I tried to look into the guides and documentation but has huge stuff. My infrastructure lead also not familiar of ciscoworks tool. I know there is lot of documentation in it but I have very less time say this weekend I have to activate monitoring of devices in ciscoworks LMS 3.2. Can anyone please provide me the screenshots or step-by-step procedure to how to enable a device for monitoring who has prior experience on ciscoworks LMS 3.2.
Regards,
Ahmed

Regarding SNMP reachabilty, you are the man........ thats true the firewall is blocking, because the subnets for the swithces which i m trying to add into the ciscoworks are not added into the firewall. Those subnets are different than the other 20 switches which are shown as reachable.
and regarding the swithces which are already seen reachable, based on the document you have provided me for alert and monitoring of a device. I checked the DFM and configured as it is but still i didn't see any of the alert when I turned off one of the 4506E power supply. Is there something I am missing it.
What do you need from my side to provide information or screenshot so that we can sort out the issue of monitoring of the device. Should I get an alert even if the device goes down?
regards
Ahmed

  • Information needed on having one more CEN system for the monitored systems

    Hi Everyone,
    I need some information regarding configuring of one more CEN system
    system for the systems which are already being monitored by another
    central system.
    1) Do I need to register a new CCMS agent on the monitored system for the NEW CEN system again. As I already have sapccm4x registered in the monitored system for the old CEN system, which i think can't be used for the new CEN system.
    If I can go with configuring NEW CEN system for the same monitored systems, can you tell me how should I proceed.
    Can anyone help me by providing the information for this issue.

    1) yes you can use DSL with what you have, but you want more RAM and I would recommend getting OSX.3 or above because the web browsers for OS9, which I assume is what you are running, are a bit dated and not well supported any longer.
    2) Yes you can add more RAM. The 64meg stick in there can be removed. You can add up to 1 Gig of RAM via two 512Mb PC100 or PC133 DIMMS.
    See here: http://tinyurl.com/qdlo3
    I would add at least 512 Mb if you use OSX and no less than 256 mb if you are using OS9
    3) No you can not use CD-R or CDRW with the hardware you have. That iMac only has a CDRom drive and can not burn CDs. You can buy an external CD burner if you want to back up to CDRs
    PS: You may want to remove your serial number from your post. Granted the warranty has expired but there's no need or reason to list it.

  • CiscoWorks LMS 4.1, syslog analyzer parsing non-Cisco device.

    Hello.
    Can Syslog Analyzer parse syslog messages coming from a Non-Cisco device?
    I'm trying to parse message from a HP Virtual Connect module without success.
    Thanks.
    Andrea

    Hi Andrea,
    You could use syslog-ng to write a generic mnemonic into the message and forward it to LMS.
    Something like:
    syslog-ng->add fac-sev-mne: message->lms
    However, I would also caution you that LMS is *not* meant to be a "syslog" manager - there are usually way to many syslog messages in most environments for it to handle that many - which is why most syslog managers are standalone servers.
    In order to make sure that the NMS systems that syslog-ng forward messages to receive the correct source, syslog-ng needs to be compiled with the source spoof option. This will allow messages received on other NMS’s (such as LMS) to appear to come from the original devices rather than from the syslog-ng server.
    Compiling from source:
    Install the syslog-ng prerequisites from Balabit
    You must configure syslog-ng with --enable-spoof-source in order to enable the spoof source feature (which is disabled by default).
    ./configure --enable-spoof-source
    make && make install
    If you run into any issues during the installation, you can refer to the syslog-ng forum  or you can refer to the syslog-ng knowledge base
    Lastly, here's a great paper on syslog management:

    Thanks Marvin for your advice. Just one last question, there's a statement in the URL that you've provided
    "Ensure that the passwords, HTTPS port and SMTP server details are same in both LMS 3.2 SP1, LMS 4.0.1 or LMS 4.1 server and LMS 4.2 server with Symantec Veritas implementation, while migrating data from non-HA to HA environment."
    Does this mean my client need to purchase Symantec Veritas, as well?

  • Custom device prompt in Ciscoworks LMS

    Hello,
    In emerging network infrastructure of our client we decided to use some custom promps at device VTY (SSH and Telnet). Console users are network authenticated by means of ACS, and in case ACS is not reachable, we decided to use login prompts as follows:
    Username(local):
    Password(local):
    In this local mode, when CiscoWorks LMS (3.1) tries to collect configuration of switches, VLAN configuration exactly, we got such error messages in LMS interface:
    TELNET: Failed to establish TELNET  connection to 10.52.0.1 - Cause: Authentication failed on device 3 times. VLAN  Config fetch is not supported using TFTP. Command failed VLAN Config fetch is  not supported using RCP.
    Of course, we have checked the possibility to got from LMS host to these devices by SSH and Telnet, credentials are correct, only login prompts are as described earlier.
    I conclude, we need to tell LMS to accept our custom prompts. Is there any possibility and how to achieve this?

    If you're sure the failure is due to the custom prompt, yes, you can simply follow the steps in the following document to let LMS know about that:

  • Ciscoworks LMS 4.0 DFM Custom Traps

    Hello,
    We want to use Ciscoworks LMS 4.0 for Access Control List Monitoring. i.e. if we end the ACLs with "log" entry, we may send  the ACL deny logs to the Ciscoworks as Syslog or Snmp Trap format.
    With "debug snmp packets" command we may observe the packets are sent to the LMS, but the traps don't show up as alarms. Is it possible to observe any trap entry with LMS DFM Fault Manager by customizing the module, because we think the engine of the DFM analyzes the traps and shows some of the traps, not all of the traps are observable.
    The command output is as below:
    Thanks in Advance,
    Best Regards,
    Mar  2 10:28:30.028: SNMP: Queuing packet to 10.10.10.1
    .Mar  2 10:28:30.028: SNMP: V1 Trap, ent ciscoSyslogMIB.2, addr 10.10.20.1, gen  trap 6, spectrap 1
    clogHistoryEntry.2.742 = SEC
    clogHistoryEntry.3.742 = 7
    clogHistoryEntry.4.742 = IPACCESSLOGDP
    clogHistoryEntry.5.742 = list 191 denied icmp   10.10.10.1 -> 10.10.20.1 (0/0),   10 packets
    clogHistoryEntry.6.742 = 69082382

    DFM consumes the traps and decides based on its built-in code-book what to do - rise one of the predefined Events or just silently ignore it. The best DFM can do is forward the trap as-is to another trap receiver.
    Perhaps the LMS Syslog-Server can do what you want and lauch automated actions (like scripts or e-mail) based on certain criteria.
    But you should take care of the underlying syslog file and keep its size under control with logrot.pl utility.
    The online help of LMS should give you more details on the syslog capabilities or this link to the LMS 4.0 Administration Guide:

  • Virtual IP for two redundant PCs in Cisco Switch

    Hi Team,
    We have redundant Computers connected to Switch . There is the third  system also connected to the switch.
    We want the two redundant PC ethernet to look like one for the third system. We want a virtual IP for the third System to get connected to any one of the  two PC’s.
    we have a Cisco Small business switch.Is that possible in this switch to create a virtual IP for redundancy ?
    which cisco switch supports this functionality ??
    Attached is the diagram of the setup.

    Hi,
    That is not possible with just a switch.  You need some sort of load balancer in front of the switch with a virtual VIP.  So when a packet comes from SCATA to PC1 and if PC1 is not available it will send it to PC2. A10 makes pretty good load balancers.

    Is that what you are trying to do?

  • 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),
    Edit: All of them show up green in the topology window.
    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)
    We are running SNMP v3 on the switches and have added the following configuration items to all the switches:
    snmp-server group readonly v3 auth context vlan-1
    <repeat for all present snmp-contexts as shown in show snmp context output>

    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?

  • Ciscoworks LMS 4.0 – Fault Device Details Issue

           We currently use Ciscoworks LMS 4.0 but when I go into,  Monitor > Fault Settings > Setup > Fault Device Details   
           I get the following message (see attached document with screenshot) and being a LMS newbie am unsure what to do? As have tried to search for this
           file but no luck.
           So thanks in advance for any advice.

    Check if the fault management rediscovery page shows device as discovered and known or does it have any errors?
    Are you able to generate any fault management reports and view other pages?
    Just try to reboot the server/restart daemon to see if it is goes away.
    Else it is mostly corrupt FM DB. Which would need to be re-initialized.
    Fault Mgmt reinitialize is very simple task, which doesnt removes a lot of data, except past 31 days of FM history and custom notifications, if configured.
    Thanks

  • How to get Ciscoworks LMS 4.0.1 serial number

    How to get Ciscoworks LMS 4.0.1 serial number ? I need that to put the product under mainrtenance, and I can't manage to get it.
    Thanks for your help
    Roland

    as LMS 4.0.1 is a service pack on LMS 4.0 you need the serial number of your base installation of LMS 4.0.
    The serial number for software products is called "PAK" ("Product Authorization Key")
    For LMS there are 3 options to get the PAK:
    1) the PAK is printed on a paper sheet in the box in which LMS was sent to you. Sometimes it is also printed outside on the box.
    2) the mail you received from [email protected] after the online licensing process includes the PAK;
        the first lines of the email looks something like this:
    ===========================================================
    DO NOT DISCARD THIS EMAIL.
        Product Name          : R-LMS41-1.5K-MR-K9

        Sales Order Number      : 117yyyyy
        Options Included: No additional features have been selected for this product.
    You have received this email because your email address was provided to
    Cisco  Systems during the registration process for a software license key file  to the CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution (LMS) software. 
    ===========================================================
    3) the license file itself contains the PAK, sourounded by the tags and <\PAK>
    the line looks like this:
        1354Jxxxxxx" SIGN=658Czzzzzzzz
    if you have access to your LMS server you can find the license file at the following location:
        NMSROOT\etc\licenses\1317812nnnnnn.lic
    open it with a text editor and you 'll find the PAK.

  • Adding Device support/definitions in Ciscoworks LMS 3.2

    Hi All
    I am having some issues adding updated definitions for Cisco C3750X-48PS switches.
    We have ciscoworks LMS 3.2 and I need to update the definition/device support for these switches. We are conducting a network refresh and are having some issues with ciscoworks polling these devices correctly.
    I have looked through the various user guides and searched on google with not much luck as to how to actually do this, the links I have found breifly go into it, but not indepth, and the cisco links I have found, of course have redirects to new pages which bear to resemblance to what is in the original document.  Is there a clear guide out there on how to update the switch definiton in ciscoworks? So I can i can try and do this correctly?
    I am new in my current role and I want to ensure I am doing this correctly. Apologies if this has been asked before.
    thanks                 

    First thing to check is the supported device table for LSM3.2. According to it, the 3750X-48P-S is supported pretty much across the board by the LMS tools.
    So you then need to just make sure you update the RME, CM, DFM and CiscoView device packages to integrate the updates into your server. While you can manually download and install the various packages, this task is more easily accomplished via the application GUI itself.
    In LMS 3.2, updates can be done via the Common Services Software Center. The User Guide (here) tells how to use that area in great details. I usually just select "everything" for updating so as to be fully updated for whatever gets installed (as opposed to trying to pick and choose the minimal set of packages).

Maybe you are looking for
