Prime Infrastructure 2.0 API maximum client response

Hey guys,
we are using the REST API of PI2.0 to get all the clients we are seeing on our network, the issue is there is obviously a maximum of 50.000 clients in a API call response, due to using guest access with a huge amount of devices I would like to know 2 things:
1. Is there a way to increase the limit on the API calls from 50.000 to something higher
2. Is there a way to filter the clients which are stored in the client and users database? (We would like to filter on devices or interfaces)
Thanks

Hi Philipp,
What is the get you are doing to have "all the clients we are seeing on our network" ?
Thanks.

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2 API not working

Just upgraded to PI 2.2. API got error of "Access is denied to prime Infrastructure". Even assigned the user with 'Super Users' and 'NBI credential, NBI read, NBI', we still got denied error.
We use Perl to access API. Any sample code for authentication and authorization in Perl? Now even URL of https://prime.nm.nd.edu/webacs/api/v1/data got denied error.
Thank you.

PI 2.2 API changed authorization group for API access. We added "NBI Read" and "NBI Credential" to API user, and resolved the access issue.
Cheers.

Prime Infrastructure maps and API

Anyone know of a way to get map info from PI via API that allows you to associate APs to it?
I can get Sites which shows me the map names/structure along with apCount.
AccessPointDetails has a field called <mapLocation> however it only has the string description one liner location such as "default location".
I'm guessing that Sites has the DB links to what APs are associated, I just need a way to pull out which ones they are.
Thanks.

Alex, Suwa
You can still monitor interfaces with the following workaround (which works for me):
Under Design > Monitoring Configuration:
From the tree on the left, expand Features > Interface Health
If needed, select the interface parameters to poll and the polling intervals, provide a name to your template and then click "Save as new template"
Under Deploy > Monitoring Deployment:
Locate your template and click the green "Deploy" button
Select which devices you want to poll, or just select a group like "Routers", Switches etc.
That should do the trick and information should show up after few minutes.
Hope it helps,
Tomer
BTW- you can also perform the same for device health, by using "Device Health" Metrics template under "Design".

Prime Infrastructure API add device

I've been looking at the Prime Infrastructure 2.1 API at /webacs/api/v1/ on my PI instance but I can't seem to find a way to add devices using the API? Looking to write a script for our techs to run after the provisioning of a new device and would love a way to get it added to Prime. Any ideas?

It isn't possible in Prime Infrastructure 2.1 to add devices via API, however, it now is possible with version 2.2. I've used it myself and I can confirm that it works.

Upgrade Cisco Prime LMS 4.0 to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1

My company has asked me to migrate Prime LMS 4.0 to Prime Infrastructure 2.0 for a client and can not find the guide, the questions are? the migration is possible without an intermediate step? and There is a guide to update LMS 4.0 to PI 2.0 ??
Thanks in advance.

Prime LMS 4.2.2 added support for the PI template directly:
Export Data for Prime Infrastructure
Cisco Prime LAN Management Solution supports data migration to Prime Infrastructure 1.2. This feature enables user to export the Device Credentials Repository (DCR) data from LMS 4.2.x versions to Prime Infrastructure 1.2. The data backup status and backup location are displayed at the bottom of the Export Data for Prime Infrastructure page. The data being exported from LMS and the data imported back to PI are listed as follows.
Data exported from LMS
•Device Credentials Repository (DCR)
•Software Image Management
•Config Archive
•Change Audit
•Syslog
Data Imported to PI

ISE integration with Prime Infrastructure,

Hi Team,
I would like to know what are the advantages and Disadvantages of the ISE integration with Prime Infrastructre.Also how the LAN, wifi, and identity management part (guest access etc) will work together.
Cheers!!!
Minakshi

Prime Infrastructure manages the wired and the wireless clients in the network. When Cisco ISE is used as a RADIUS server to authenticate clients, Prime Infrastructure collects additional information about these clients from Cisco ISE and provides all client relevant information to Prime Infrastructure to be visible in a single console.
When posture profiling is enforced in the network, Prime Infrastructure talks to Cisco ISE to get the posture data for the clients and displays it along with other client attributes. When Cisco ISE is used to profile the clients or an endpoint in the network, Prime Infrastructure collects the profiled data to determine what type of client it is, whether it is an iPhone, iPad, an Android device, or any other device.
Cisco ISE is assisting Prime Infrastructure to monitor and troubleshoot client information, and displays all the relevant information for a client in a single console.

Cisco Prime Infrastructure, trial version

I am trying the Cisco Prime Infrastructure, trial version.
In client management I can see only 802.3 clients, but not clients directly attached to the switch ports.
Finding where a client, searched by IP or MAC address, is connected, is a mandatory need for us.
I have enabled trap sending from the switches.
Regards
Donato Colombo

- Please make sure that your switches are defined (added) in Prime, especially matching the
correct SNMP READ community (as it was defined on the switch).

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.

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!

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2 Rest API XML does not add LF

I am using several scripts that dig the data from XML files created through Cisco Prime Infrastructure Rest API. It worked fine until 2.1. Now, with 2.2, seems Cisco stopped adding LF to each line and everything is 'one' line.
Here is an example with 2.1, there is a LF to the end of each line:
?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<queryResponse type="AccessPointDetails" rootUrl="https://server/webacs/api/v1/data" requestUrl="https://server/webacs/api/v1/data/AccessPointDetails?type=contains(UnifiedAp)&.full=true&.maxResults=1000&.firstResult=0" responseType="listEntityInstances" count="715" first="0" last="714">

                    <platform>cisco WS-C3560-8PC</platform>
                </cdpNeighbor>
Now, with 2.2, there is not LF anywhere:
?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?><queryResponse type="AccessPointDetails" rootUrl="https://server/webacs/api/v1/data" requestUrl="https://server/webacs/api/v1/data/AccessPointDetails?type=contains(UnifiedAp&.full=true&.maxResults=1000&.firstResult=0" responseType="listEntityInstances" count="715" first="0" last="714">

<accessPointDetailsDTO id="1505569" displayName="1505569"><adminStatus>ENABLE</adminStatus><apType>AP1240</apType><cdpNeighbors><cdpNeighbor>
Does anyone know, is this intentional or a mistake? Or is there a way how I control this?
I am reading on-line CPI Rest API docs, but seems cannot find anything.
Thanks,
Vlad

PI 2.0 is in Beta mode for testing in closed group already. However it may still take some time to get released on CCO for FCS.
I think it is expected to be released between aug-sep. BU has also started working on CPI 2.1, which you can see test uploads on CCO.
For what does it have for customers?
> As Cisco have a vision of one network Management software for both wired and wireless infrastructure, which started getting real partially with Cisco PI.
As WCS got evolved to NCS and eventually to Cisco Prime Infrastructure, but it doesnt yet have full Management capability for wired infra., which is there with LMS.
With CPI 2.x Cisco plans to blend entire LMS and WCS features together.
-Thanks

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2 clients and users IPs not detected

Hi all,
I have cisco PI2.2 and discovered all the network and i notified that there are some clients' IPs (Servers or PCs or Laptops or ....) not detected.
please advice what may be the issue ?

Hi,
does anyone happen to know if that problem is fixed? My currently setup looks like this:
1. Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1 with updated device pack.
2. Assurance license
3. ASA5510 which has enabled netflow. Netflow is being sent to Cisco Prime 2.1
I do receive netflow raw data within Cisco Prime 2.1 but any graphical display of netflow data is not working. Does anybody has an idea where the problem is? Could it be that the graphical data is only displayed when sending netflow 1, netflow 5 or netflow 7?
regards
Maurus

Hi ,
Prime infrastructure uses MIB to collect the Mac address of the clients; this MIB collects
the information per vlan.
So we need to configure SNMP context for all vlans to view the wired client.
Try configure SNMP context on devices , then delete and re-add the device and check the issue.
For e.g:
snmp-server group gcobergroup v3 auth context vlan-1
snmp-server group gcobergroup v3 auth context vlan-71

Prime Infrastructure "Current Associated Clients" No Data Available

We have prime infrastructure 1.3 and the "Current Associated Clients" always shows No Data Available. Any suggestions as to what would cause this?

End host Tracking needs the Bridge mib data, i.e, the Mac addr table/Cam table entry from device to show end hosts. With the error it is clear that LMS is not able to poll the bridge mib.
Bridge MIB is not as simple as directly polling device for data. It needs SNMP string indexing, which means it has to include @ sign after community to poll each vlan for mac addr's.
For example, the Catalyst switch includes one instance of the standard BRIDGE-MIB for each Virtual LAN in the switch. If the read-only community string is "public" and the read-write community string is "private", one could use "public@25" to read the BRIDGE-MIB for VLAN 25 and use "private@33" to read and write the BRIDGE-MIB for VLAN 33. If just "public" or "private" is used, the BRIDGE-MIB for VLAN 1 is accessed.
This is different when SNMP v3 is used. You have to configure snmp context than, as SNMP string indexing doesn't work on SNMP v3.
If you are using snmp v3, please check the following doc to see how contexts are created :
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/datacenter/sw/4_2/nx-os/system_management/configuration/guide/sm_9snmp.html#wp1070467
If using SNMP v1/v2c please manually poll the device by adding @ on community string and see it works.

Prime Infrastructure 2.2 - Wired Clients and Trunk Ports

We have our VMWare ESX hosts connected to our server access switches via trunk ports. Prime doesn't seem to track clients on trunk ports (to avoid showing clients on uplink ports between switches, I'm sure). Since these are not switch-to-switch connections, is there a way to enable Prime to track wired clients on these specific trunk ports so we have MAC/IP client info in Prime for our virtual environment?

Hi,
PI discards all the MAC table entries that are on trunk ports for a switch. This enhancement was added from PI 2.1 & later.

Hi Jeremy,
SNMP traps are shown in the events and alerts section of PI.
SNMP config looks fine. Can you run the SNMP debug (debug snmp packets ) .check the logs and see if the device is actually sending the TRAPS to the PI server.
Thanks-
