Prime Infrastructure 2.1 - Deploy Wireless Template

As a test, I set up a simple template to push to one access point. I am doing this in PI2.1. Every time I try to deploy the template, it fails. I cant figure out why. So I am attaching a screenshot of the error and hope that some one else knows how to correct this issue. TIA!

Hello Wilson,
Thanks for joining us.
1841 should just work fine for net flow . Hope you have a valid "PI Assurance license" installed on the server.

NetFlow is also supported by these devices Cisco 800, 1700, 1800, 2800, 3800, 6500, 7300, 7600, 10000, CRS-1 and these Catalyst series switches: 45xx, 55xx, 6xxx.
NetFlow export is also supported on other Cisco switches when using a NetFlow Feature Card (NFFC) or NFFC II and the Route Switch Module (RSM), or Route Switch Feature Card (RSFC). However, check whether version 5 is supported, as most switches export version 7 by default.
You can check the below steps to diagnose the issue::
To verify that NetFlow is exported from a device to PI, follow the steps below:
1)   Browse to Administration > Data Sources page. Check the value in column ‘Last Active Time’ for the ‘Device Data Sources’ table. If the table is empty or the value does not represent recent time, then
it is possible that the device is not exporting NetFlow or PI Assurance license is not applied / expired.
2)   Login to PI console ( via SSH) as root user and run the command:
                netstat –an | grep 9991 – Output of this should be like : udp        0      0 :::9991         :::*
                Check the firewall settings on PI server using the command: firewall -L
1)   Check the configuration on an IOS / IOS –XE device. Run the commands
a)   sh running-config | inc destination
1)   This should list the IP address of the PI SERVER ( along with other outputs if any)
b)   sh running-config | inc 9991
1)   This should list at least one entry.
c)   If the above are fine, then verify that the flow monitor, flow exporter and the flow records are correctly configured on the device.
Refer to the URLs below to configure NetFlow export.

Prime infrastructure 2.1 deploy config task

Hi,
I'm struggling with the cisco prime infrastructure 2.1 again :]
When i create a configuration task (it could be anything like an access list etc.) and deploy that to a switch or group of switches it does not work.
In the Job Dashboards i just see that the job has failed, and there is no details on what would be the reason, just "No data available".
This was working before, and all snmp/cli credentials are up to date, and all devices are sync.
Any suggestion on what could that be ?
Pawel

Hi,
Please create a simple CLI template e.g "snmp-sever community ASHOK RW" as per below navigation:-
Design > Configuration > Feature Design > Templates > CLI Templates > CLI > Save as a New Template
Now, Deploy the same as per below navigation
Configuration Deployment > Configuration Tasks > Templates > My Templates
if still job fails, we need to collect the debug logs

Prime Infrastructure 2.1. Configuration template deploy problem.

Hello! I have a problem with the CLI template deployment on Cisco Prime. PI version is 2.1.
There is the following template, which contains:
logging on
logging 10.10.10.10
When I try to deploy it on the router 1800 IOS Version 12.3(14)T7 all is going well and the report I get the following:
Device
Status
Transcript
10.5.5.1
Success
configlet: logging on logging 10.10.10.10 response: terminal width 0 config t logging on logging 10.10.10.10
But, when I try to deploy the same template on the router 3825 IOS Version 15.1(4)M5, the system issues the following error:
Device
Status
Transcript
10.5.5.2
Failed
Error : Exception while sending interactive commands to device, Expect timeout: Failed to match expected device output due to Expect timeout current timeout 60000. Current output : Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. MAIN_VOICE_gate(config)# Current expects : (MAIN_VOICE_gate:579|MAIN_VOICE_gate:579)$[^$]+\)#\s*\z MAIN_VOICE_gate:579#
In what may be the reason that Prime cannot deploy the configuration on IOS version 15.1?
Thank you!

Good day! Yes, maybe we have the same BUG

but in the status written that it is Fixed and applies to releases 1.2 and 2.0, but we used version 2.1.

Prime infrastructure 2.1.2 cli template "copy tftp://..." error

I tried to copy a new ios image to several 3850 switche via CLI template but it failed.
The template lokks like:
#INTERACTIVE

#ENDS_INTERACTIVE
The error message looks like:

Prime Infrastructure and WLAN Configuration Controller Templates

Hello,
I work with PI v1.2 in customer environment. This app has SNMP relation with 7 controllers (4 controllers in 2 WiSM modules, 3 controllers are standalone). All controllers uses WLANs which I sometimes need to update. I would like to use the PI so that update all of them in one step. But when I use WLAN Configuration Controller Templates and choose given WLAN Template then the PI answer me with error message: "Unknown Exception Occured. If the problem persists send logs to the Tech Support."
Have you anyone had such a problem? Is it any bug of the application?
Thank you.

Yes, you should be able to discover templates from the WLC
HTH,
Steve

Adding new switch in my network including Cisco Prime Infrastructure

hi all,
if I connect new switch to my network, can I let Cisco PI to apply a specific template of configuration to this switch automatically?
how can I do that ?
thanks in advance

Hi,
i followed these steps :
SWITCH SIDE
- configured Prime Infrastructure as snmp-server host;
- enabled snmp-traps for linkup and linkdown events globally;
- disabled snmp-traps for linkup and linkdown on non relevant interfaces using the no snmp trap link-status command
PRIME INFRASTRUCTURE SIDE
- under "Deploy/Monitor Deployment" i deployed template "Interface Health" for all the interested switches
- under "Administration/System Settings/Mail Server Configuration" configured my internal SMTP server to make Prime Infrastructure able to send e-mails
- under "Operate/Alarms & Events" click on "Email Notifications" , then on "Switches and Hubs"
- check the "critical" box , insert the destination e-mail address into the "To" field then click "Save"
- check the "switches and Hubs" box and then click Save
As i know is possible to avoid to configure every single not-interesting port on the switches with "no snmp trap link-status" command (it's a bit annoying when you have tens of switches), using Port Grouping configuration on PI but i tried it without success.
Hope this helps.
Best Regards,

Including Interface Description in Cisco PRime Infrastructure Alarm Message

Hi all,
i succesfully configured a Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1 applliance to display an alarm and to send me an e-mail when switch uplink ports goes down.
The text displayed in alarm message is :
port 'interface_id' is down on device 'device_ip_address'
I'd like to include in this text also the interface description so the text will display :
port 'interface_id' 'interface_descriprion' is down on device 'device_ip_address'
Is this possible?
Thankyou in advance

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3 - SNMPv3 can´t get CPU, memory info.

Hi,
I have a Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3 deployment with Catalyst 2960S switches. Switches are running IOS 15.0(2) SE2. All switches have SNMPv2 configured, and all appears to be fine. I'm migrating one switch to SNMPv3, and PI have reachability to the switch, but PI doesn´t receive traps from the switch, and neither poll CPU and memory information (all displays 0.00%).
Somebody have a sample configuration of SNMPv3 with Cisco Prime (Infrastructure or LMS)? I cannot find a Cisco official (or unofficial) document related to this version, usually all mention SNMPv2.
Thank you.
Eduardo

Hi Eduardo:
SNMPv3 is indeed supported for general administration. There's a bug with SWIM using SNMPv3 (CSCud92758), but you should be fine for just monitoring. Have you deleted the switch, waited until Prime Infrastructure told you it was gone, then readded it as SNMPv3 natively? Bug CSCug78869 keeps things from working well when changing SNMP versions.
If you don't have the new Update-1 patch for Prime Infrastructure 1.3.0.20 installed (filename PI_1.3.0.20_Update_1-12.tar.gz) installed, I'd suggest you get it. While it's not going to specifically address this issue, there are a lot of really good fixes in it.

Prime Infrastructure 2.0 Importing user-defined group rules

Dears,
I'm looking for a way to import rules to put devices in a user defined group.
I can see how I can create groups and rules manually, but not how I could export or import those rules.
Is this possible, or on the roadmap?
Cheers,
Michel

In the Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 Deployment Guide under LMS 4.2 Data Migration there is a way to import settings from a "special" backup made from LMS.
This should allow for importing userdefined groups.
Does anyone have tried this yet?
Cheers,
Michel

How to deploy prime infrastructure template on selected interfaces/ports

Hi,
So I manged to create an port grouping (all ports which start with the description ACP)
And I also managed to create a CLI-template with the a DB variable setup (see http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/net_mgmt/prime/infrastructure/2-0/user/guide/prime_infra_ug/create_temps.html#60783)
My template:
#foreach ($interfaceName in $InterfaceNameList)
interface $interfaceName
     switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
     switchport trunk native vlan 3
     switchport trunk allowed vlan 3-8
     switchport mode trunk
#end
But when I deploy this template it will apply to all the ports on that switch, I can't apply only to the ports in the port group
Is it possible to fix this somehow?
I can think of 3 ways:
Use other menu than Deploy -> Configuration Tasks -> <select template> -> deploy..., Which is the correct one?
Make an new DB variable which only select ports which start with the description "ACP", but I am on the dark how to create such a DB variable, I know I need to edit /opt/CSCOlumos/conf/ifm/template/inventoryTagsInTemplate/CLITemplateDbVariablesQuery.properties but I can't find the syntax/field description
Use an "if construction" in the cli template, something like #if(${description} == "ACP" ...., but how precisely?
Who can give me any tips?
Thanks,
Emiel Witteman

Thanks for the reply. Im aware that there are still gaps between LMS and Prime, I didn't see the ability to push a config to a port group as being a compliance feature, but I see what you are saying.
What I don't get though is that your link (thanks again) bears no resemblance to the config/admin guide section in Prime. Which in fact was in the NCS docs too (I haven't gone back any further to check).
If its not supported then that's bad enough, but for Cisco to document what seems to be an NCS/Prime specific way to do this and leave it in when it doesn't work really is appalling.
Im still hoping Cisco finally make a management tool without major gaps in it... :-(

Prime Infrastructure importing templates

Hi all,
We have an existing WCS setup (7.0.240.0).
I have built up a Prime Infrastructure server running release 1.3.0.20.
Originally I was going to look at migrating our existing WCS configure but the two stage process (WCS -> NCS -> Prime) looked prone to errors. Dediced to skip it and concentrate and building up from blank slate.
The only exception was the floorplan maps for Wifi, I was able to export these straight from WCS to Prime without any hicups.
I then added our main WLC and assigned the APs to the correct maps.
Sweet!
Now I would like to get the templates going for our WLCs as i have a couple more to deploy. The issue is that I dont want to manually configure templates in Prime. WCS had the ability to import templates from an existing WLC, a goldern WLC config. I cant seem to find any doco indicating this ability. Anyone come across something similar or another way I might acheive?
Cheers
Chris

Cisco Prime infrastructure template undeploy

Hi,
I am new to cisco prime, I have create the new Trap receiver template and deployed to one of the wireless controller and saved the deployment
Now I want to undeploy the templates, When I tried undeploying the templates for same wireless controller, I got the warning message stating "Failed to undeploy the template"
Please advice on below points
1. How to undeploy the templates in cisco prime infrastructure
2. Where to find the snmp traps ( steps to check the snmp traps) in cisco prime.
Please Help!!!!!

Using System Logs
Prime Infrastructure logs all error, informational, and trace messages generated by all devices that are managed by Prime Infrastructure.
Prime Infrastructure also logs all SNMP messages and Syslogs it receives.
You can download and email the logs to use for troubleshooting Prime Infrastructure.
Step 1 Choose Administration > Logging. The General Logging Options Screen appears.
Step 2 Choose a Message Level.
Step 3 Check the check boxes within the Enable Log Module option to enable various administration modules. Check the Log Modules option to select all modules.
Step 4 In the Log File Settings portion, enter the following settings. These settings will be effective after restarting Prime Infrastructure.
Note The log file prefix can include the characters "%g" to sequentially number of files.
Step 5 Click the Download button to download the log file to your local machine.
Note The logs.zip filename includes a prefix with the host name, date, and time so that you can easily identify the stored log file. Included in the zip file is an html file that documents the log files.
Step 6 Enter the Email ID or Email IDs separated by commas to send the log file.
Note To send the log file in a mail you must have Email Server Configured.
Step 7 Click Submit.

Prime Infrastructure - CLI Template - SmartPort Macro

I'm hoping that someone can provide an example of a CLI Template for deploying a SmartPort Macro in Prime Infrastructure 2.0. I've tried multiple formats and can't seem to get it to work.
Macro to be configured:
macro auto execute TEST_MACRO {
     blah
     blah
     blahdeeblah
Example 1 Template:
#INTERACTIVE
macro auto execute TEST_MACRO {
<IQ><R>
<IQ><R>blah
<IQ><R>blah
<IQ><R>blahdeeblah
<IQ><R>}
#ENDS_INTERACTIVE
The above example runs successfully, however it does not actually produce a result.
Example 2 Template:
<MLTCMD>macro auto execute TEST_MACRO {
blah
blah
blahdeeblah
}</MLTCMD>
The above example fails with the following result:
Error : Exception while sending interactive commands to device, Expect timeout: Failed to match expected device output due to Expect timeout current timeout 60000. Current output : > >blah >blah >blahdeeblah >} mc-t307-acc06(config)# Current expects : blah blah blahdeeblah \}
I'm sure that all my troubles stem from '>' result that is sent to the CLI after each line of the function is entered, however I can't seem to work around the problem.
I've tried many more combinations without success... Any help would be appreciated.

Instead of
#INTERACTIVE
macro auto execute TEST_MACRO {
<IQ><R>
<IQ><R>blah
<IQ><R>blah
<IQ><R>blahdeeblah
<IQ><R>}
#ENDS_INTERACTIVE
Try
<MLTCMD>
macro auto execute TEST_MACRO {
blah
blah
blahdeeblah
</MLTCMD>
This works for me.
