Prime Infrastructure 2.1 switch in stack down alert

Hi all,
Have a question regarding the Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1 - How to configure the prime to monitor/send an alert when one of the switches (c3750) from a stack goes down (not the master, so the stack appears as 'up' ) ?
In old cisco LMS i was able to configured a script based on a syslog sent from a switch, but I'm not sure how to do it in Prime.
Thanks for help :]

Pawel,
Unfortunately PI 2.1 (and 2.2) do not yet allow us to define automated actions in the event of a specific syslog message being received.

Cisco Prime infrastructure Change severity Switches and hubs - link down alarm

Hi, I want to change the severity of the link down alarm in the Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3, but in the menu Administration -> System Settings -> Severity Configuration i can not find the alarm. Some body knows where is it? o where i can change the severity of that alarm?
Thanks in advanced.

Hi Rollin and Daniel,
the first test i did changing the severity was with a new installation, with no devices added and it worked, when i did it in a Prime infrastructure with devices added it didn´t work, well, for this Prime with devices i upgraded it with the patch for 1.3 version and now it works too, the alarms is ok as the alarm severity, this is the link for the patch:
http://software.cisco.com/download/release.html?mdfid=284652876&flowid=38562&softwareid=284272933&release=1.3.0&relind=AVAILABLE&rellifecycle=&reltype=all
i hope this helps,

Prime Infrastructure 2.1 switch PoE usage report (is it possible?)

Does anybody know how to get PI 2.1 to report on power availability in switches? I cant find anything so far either in the docs or by trying to run some random reports. I don't want to run show power inline on every switch, this has to be something PI can do surely!
thanks in advance.

AFAIk , unfortunately there is such report exist and even the custom report option is not available.
If anyone has a different view ,kindly share it with us.
Thanks-

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1 Inventory Job

My cisco prime infrastructure performs a switch inventory job every night at 22:00 hrs. When I looked at the syslog of the devices in the inventory, I see some entries that I never saw with other LMS versions.
2014-06-30 22:00:01   Local7.Notice   xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx   5410: Jun 30 22:00:00.623 CST: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx by snmp
2014-06-30 22:00:01   Local7.Notice   xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx   5411: Jun 30 22:00:01.567 CST: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by vty1 (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)

I don't understand what the PI is doing with the switches. Does anyone know what is happening during this inventory background job? TIA

Hello all,
we have the same problem maybe; Cisco Prime IF 2.1 is changing the running-configs and produces out-of-syncs ;
it turns so for us is, as if Cisco Prime IF 2.1 a snmp-server host x.x.x.x community entry writes in the running-config,
so are running-and startup-config are out-of-sync; is this correct? Herbert

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 Alarms (switch port down)

We have a cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 managing switches, routers and AP.
By default, when a port of a switch goes down, the cisco Prime Infrastructre generates a Critical Alarm for that. (this is a problem, because every phone of laptop disconnection will generate a critical alarm for me)
I found out that if we go to Administration --> Alarm Severity --> Link down, I can change the Alarm from Critical to another type of alarm.(ex: warning)
The problem is that I want to keep the Critical Alarm for my Uplinks ports and for some important switch ports, and I would like to make the alarm as warning for the normal user ports.
I know that I can create Port Groupping and add ports to each group and apply monitoring templates on those groups. But This couldn't Help me solving my alarm problem.
So I just need to know how to manage the alarms severity for each group of ports.
Thank you

Hi,
Same problem here.
I am using Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 (evaluation version for 60 days). I want to deploy port monitoring for my trunk ports between switches and some other important ports e.g. servers. Basically I want to get alarms when these ports are down, there are errors on ports and etc.
So in Design>Port Grouping I created User Defined group with important ports. In Deploy>Monitoring Deployment I selected Interface Health (default)>Deploy selected Port Groups and when selected port group I created.
Now the rule shows Deployed: Yes and Status: Active. After that I just pulled out one port which was in monitored group, waited 5min as it is set in Interface Health (default) template, and nothing happened, and worse, alarms started to show up of other ports where regular users are connected (computers was turned off), which I do not want to see at all. I tried redeploy template, I even created my own template but still no desired result.
Any suggestions how to make port monitoring work?

How to mornitor VSS (Virtual Switching System) & Stack (Switch) By Cisco Prime Infrastructure

Dear all,
I have 02 C6504-E with VSS (Virtual Switching System)
and 02 C3750X-24T-L used Stack
How to you Cisco Prime Infrastructure to monitor VSS & Stack tatus?
Thanks.

Virtual Switching technology is the process of combining two standalone distribution switches found in the local distribution layer into a single management point.
The Virtual Switching System functions and appears as a single switch to the wiring closet and the core layer. You can also create Virtual Switching Systems with a pair of standalone switches available in the core layer.
For configuration please check the below link:

Prime Infrastructure- switch interface up/down history statistics.

Hi. Does Prime Infrastructure support a way of showing when some specific interface was last seen up/down?
For example I need to know which interfaces are not used very often (that are in the down state most of the time).
Thanks!

Cisco Prime Infrastructure - Is there a report of unused switch ports?

Hello,
Is there a report in Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.4 showing the unused switch ports?
There used to be one in Cisco Prime LMS (Reclaim Unused Up/Down Ports Report).
Thank you,
Luke

Hello,
I now have Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 running, and I don't see a report like the "Reclaim Unused Up/Down Ports" report that existed in LMS.
I found one called "Interface Capacity", but it only shows the number of ports that are "connected", "notconnect" or "disabled".
Does anyone know if a report of Unused ports exists in Prime Infrastructure 2.0 or if it will be available later on?
Thank you,
Luke

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 not showing alerts from switch

Hello,
I have a prime infrastructure 2.0 running at a customer place and the customer now complains that he is not receiving link up/down messages from the switch. When i checked I have seen that if I shut down a port in the switch the prime identifies after a long time, but its not generating an alarm still. How can I fine tune the prime to fix this issue. Please help on this.
Thanks in advance

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,

Prime Infrastructure and C2948G-GE-TX switches?

I'm trying out Prime Infrastructure, but can't get the SSH to work with our C2948G-GE-TX switches. The SNMP works, but when the correct SSH credentials are entered for Password and Enable, I get "Wrong CLI Credentials" when attempting to sync. I can SSH with Putty to the switches just fine. We have 12 of these switches, and all behave the same way. Doing a "show version" on the switch gives this:
WS-C2948G-GE-TX Software, Version NmpSW: 8.4(11)GLX
Copyright (c) 1995-2006 by Cisco Systems, Inc.
NMP S/W compiled on Apr 27 2006, 12:46:44
GSP S/W compiled on Apr 27 2006, 11:47:52
System Bootstrap Version: 6.1(6)
Any suggestions for troubleshooting?

If I remembered correctly, PI will no longer support Catalyst OS.

Prime Infrastructure 2.1 - Power supply alarms on switchs

Hi,
How can i manage to get a email if one of my power supply on a switch die (see the attached file).
I tried to activate all snmp traps possible on my switch and all i can get is configuration management events on PI.
I changed the Severity Configuration on PI for Environmental monitor detects a testpoint reaching a critical state to critical.
Any ideas?
Sorry for grammar, english is not my native language.

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2: Catalyst 2960X-24TS-LL Switch Collection Failure

Hello,
I've Upgraded Prime Infrastructure to Version 2.2.0.0.158. Now our Catalyst 2960X-24TS-LL switches show an error message, when they are added to the inventory. The error is as follows:
Partial Collection Failure; Collection Status : Failed feature(s).
The 2960X-24TS-LL is listed under the supported devices list and other switches (e.g. WS-C2960X-48FPS-L) got inventorized without any problems.
Did anybody see this issue and can tell me how to solve it.

- Getting that one too, since running 2.2 (Failed Features) ; suggest opening a TAC case.

Prime Infrastructure 2.0 - Alert on Switch Config Change

We are in the process of testing out Prime Infrastructure 2.0, is there a way to get an alert when a device's configuration has changed, and send out what has changed in email? I have scheduled Config Archiving for all of my devices, and i can see the config differences when a changes is made in the Prime GUI, but we currently use Kiwi CatTools to send out emails that show what devices had configuration changes and what those changes were, it would be nice if Prime would do that so we could do away with that service. I have looked through all of the reports but do not see anything.

Hi,
I know this feature is there is LMS ,where you can configure the AUTOMATED Action based on Syslogs to get an Alert for config change or any other changes ,however I do not see this option available in PI 2.0.
Syslogs are not compltely supported in 2.0 but in PI 2.1 we should have the complete support for syslogs.
Thanks-
Afroz
