ONe Cisco Prime 3 different networks?

Can one Cisco prime deployment be used to manage three physically different Networks without creating a bridge between the networks. It is imperative that the networks remain separated but they will be managed by the same team so can you somehow use one Cisco Prime without the networks becoming connected 

Prime is just a management tool that is used as more of a collaboration tool so you can manage devices in one place instead of physically touching each device so yes it can manage 3 different network as long as those networks are able to reach Prime.
I would create 3 different Virtual Domains for the network and only allow visibility to the specific devices that are in each network so you have complete segmentation.
Hope this helps!

  • One Cisco prime deployment for three physically different Networks

    Hi,
    I believe you can manage any device, if it reachable (ICMP/SNMP) to Prime Infrastructure.
    Just make sure all the 3 different network reachable to PI, it's not required they're reachable among them. 
    PI itself do not do any bridging/routing between your 3 different network , therefore PI doesn't know if you can route between them or if they're separated.
    Since 3 different network are not reachable among themselves, use 3 different seed ip while discovering.
    Also, from management point of view, you can create virtual domain, group the devices network wise, & then while logging in PI, you'll the get feel if you're managing 3 different network by same PI.
    But since we know that PI, all the devices of 3 different network, it'll consume the CPU/RAM/Disc space accordingly. therefore need to pay attention for the resources of PI

  • Cisco Prime - non Cisco devices

    Hi
    We have started using Cisco Prime for our network management. On our sites we have a few devices managed by other vendors which are non cisco devices, we would like to keep these in the diagrams on cisco prime but since we don't manage them we don't want them to use up our licenses.
    Is there a way to retain the device info maybe as a note or something on the side of the diagram without the device using up a seat in the license?

    Which Prime? LMS or Infrastructure? ..or one of the others.
    LMS for example doesn't ever display a non-Cisco device in the Topology view. It does limited management of non-Cisco devices and they do not consume device licenses.

  • Cisco prime syslog alarm

    Is it possible to generate an alarm for especific Syslog Messges sent to Cisco Prime?
    Admin > Network > Notification and Action Settings > Syslog Automated Actions
    Here is possible to send an email. But I would like to see the alarm in the Monitoring dashboard.

    It's a bit kludgey but one of the available automated actions is to run a script. The script could be a homegrown utility to generate a trap which is subsequently forwarded to the server itself. The server will then will parse this new "trap" and then display it on the dashboard.
    See this document for example.

  • Cisco Prime on UCS/VMware

    I have provisioned a VMware environment for Cisco Prime. The Network Engineer has already created the Prime 2.1 VM. However the environment created is a 5.5 environment. Now there is some doubt as to Prime 2.1 is supported on VMware 5.5. At present the VM is running. However is there any compatibility/support constrains ? The Servers are C240M3 s.
    Regards,
    Naleendra

    Naleendra, 
    This is a question to Prime folks, here we'd deal with UCS and vmware compatibility. 
    That being said, quick google search away I found this for prime 2.1 
    http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/net_mgmt/prime/infrastructure/2-1/quickstart/guide/cpi_qsg.html#99048
    This seems to indicate ESX 5.5 is not among the supported by prime 2.1.

  • I have one modem in the house but I need 2 different networks.

    I have one modem in the house but I need 2 different networks that will not communicate or even see each other. The first network is the one that needs to be the most secure. The computers are used for personal information, documents, pictures, Apple TV and iTunes home sharing.(3 Apples, 3 iPads, 3 iPhones and 4 Apple TVs)  The second network needs to be for the 3 computers and gaming systems used for social games on Facebook, PSP, XBox, and a gaming system used for World of Warcraft.  The social interactions seem to be the ones that have picked up most of our computer network issues and I would like to be able to isolate them from any communication with our home network (2 PCs and 1 Mac). Is there a way that I can use 2 different routers along with blocking any bluetooth and/or bonjour connections?  I am not worried about a networked printer for the second network, it is more to try and contain any issues that may slip though virus protection and create a mess with our home systems. It would be nice to still be able to set up a Guest Network for the herds of kids and adults to use when visiting as well.  PLEASE tell me this can be done.
    Thank You
    Christine

    Christine,
    Apple may be able to do some, but not all of what you want to do.
    The dual band AirPort Extreme can create a main, or "private" network and a separate "guest" network. The private network can be configured to handle both wired and wireless clients. The "guest" network works only for wireless clients.
    Computers, devices, etc on the "guest" network cannot "see" or communicate with any of the devices on the main or "private" network. But, it is possible to allow clients on the "guest" network to see other devices on the "guest" network, so a wireless printer on this network would allow anyone on the "guest" network to be able to use the printer if you need that functionality.
    You can "extend" the "main" network using more wireless devices if you need more wireless coverage. The "guest" network cannot be extended.
    Depending on the level of service you have with your ISP, you may have bandwidth issues with two networks and multiple devices all trying to use the Internet connection.  I would think that a 25-30 Mbps connection would be the bare minimum to handle what you want to do and 50 Mbps would be advised.
    If you want to use two separate routers, you are really looking at a commercial type installation best handled by commercial products like Cisco, so that might be the place to look.

  • Does Cisco Prime have a replacement product for NCM or Network Compliance Manager?

    Does the Cisco Prime application development team have a product that replaces the NCM or Network Compliance Manager?

    Both Prime and LMS can do baseline compliance, after a fashion. LMS's is much more mature in my estimation. Prime is more around the lines of deploying templates.
    The regulatory compliance functions as of now are in only LMS's Compliance and Audit Manager (CAAM) function. It's quite useful, matching the baseline compliance features.
    An LMS license is included with PI, but it does need to be on its own server (or separate VM).

  • Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2 - Network Topology error

    He dears,
    My Customer has installed over UCS Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2.
    The network is composed with Switches nexus 93962-px and 2960x. All devices were discovered and inventoried successfully.
    The problems is that Network Topology is not showing the connections between devices. Some devices connections are showed (partially) and another not.
    We've already checked that CDP is run and working fine on all of switches.
    I appreciate your help!
    Tks,
    Regis

    I'm sorry to say that but Prime Infrastructure does not support IP SLA functionality similar to Cisco Prime LMS:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/netmgtsw/ps6504/ps6528/ps12239/guide_c07-729089.html
    It's in the developer's plans but there's no schedule yet for this feature.
    It's possible to manually configure IP SLA on the device and then define Custom SNMP templates in Prime Infrastructure and poll whatever information you might consider relevant.
    This isn't user friendly (exact OID needs to be typed manually) and is a bit quite complicated, though.
    -Thanks

  • Cisco Prime network and cisco prime infrastructure

    Hi,
    What is the difference between Cisco Prime Network and Cisco Prime infrastructure.
    Please advice.

    I assume you are asking about Cisco Prime LAN Management System (LMS) vs. Cisco Prime Infrastructure (PI).
    LMS is currently the leading Cisco offering for wired infrastructure management. It is the evolution of the earlier CiscoWorks LMS, CiscoWorks RWAN CiscoWorks 2000, CWSI, VLAN Director, original CiscoWorks classic etc. products going back almost 20 years.
    PI is the equivalent Cisco offering for wireless LANs and is the successor to NCS and WCS products.
    The overlap and confusion comes from the fact the Cisco is positioning PI as the overall wireless and wired management platform and gradually introducing wired network management features to make it equal (and eventually exceed) LMS's capabilities.
    There is a comparison table here that shows the current differences. A major new release of PI (2.0) is due out shortly which will close many (but not all) of the gaps on that table.

  • Cisco Prime Network 4.0

    Hi,          
    Has someone installed Cisco Prime Network on another distribution than Redhat ? I want to install a local demo and I have only RedHat trial.
    What is the optimal mode of installation Prime Network ? Unit  + GW and DB on the same machine? I would like to install in the same machine, but
    I´m not sure if it will run ok.
    If this is the optimal assembly mode, which is the required bandwidth between  Unit, Gw and DB.?
    Thanks.
    Regards.

    I found the solution is to restart network control services in Prime Network and restart control services in Prime Central from the Linux OS
