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.

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.

Cisco Prime Infrastructure and VLAN fetch

I have about a dozen systems which are showing up under the Archive Failed Devices section of Device Work Center -> Configuration Archives. The reason is Fetch VLAN configuration - Command failed. All of the affected devices have something in common in that they are all managed by hitting a publicly routable IP address outside of the network on which the NCS server lives (NCS IP is 172.19.40.51). To the devices, NCS looks like it is coming from an publicly routable IP address (because it is NAT'd by the firewall). I suspected that the issue was that NCS was trying to TFTP the VLAN.dat file to the NCS server but that it was trying to send it to 172.19.40.51 instead of the NAT address. I turned on debugs on one of the affected devices and sure enough I see that the device is trying to TFTP something to 172.19.40.51. Of course that will never work. I can find no way within the Admin UI of Cisco Prime to change this behavior such that NCS will try to collect the VLAN.dat file in some other way or use the NAT'd IP address for the copy attempt.
Is there a way to get it to use something other than TFTP? Is there some way to turn this off entirely so that it doesn't show up in the Archive Failed Devices section? Prime seems to be able to parse the VLANs by way of the configuration file (since we use transparent mode throughout) so it seems like an extra step I don't need.

Marvin,
This is where everything goes off the rails for me when it comes to understanding Prime Infrastruction, Prime LMS and everything that you're talking about. Refer to this link: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/cloud-systems-management/prime-lan-management-solution/data_sheet_c78-697479.html
How should I interpret this?:
"Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.1 bundles campus switch, branch, core routing, and wireless LAN management into a single, easy-to-order solution that enables businesses and enterprises unparalleled operational efficiencies and investment protection. The bundle consists of:
● Cisco Prime LAN Management Solution, which delivers simplified management of Cisco® Borderless Networks and reduces operations costs by aligning network management functionality the way network operators do their jobs
● Cisco Prime Network Control System, which provides complete wireless LAN management with converged user and access management, and integrated lifecycle management of branch routers
For more information about Cisco Prime Infrastructure, please visit http://www.cisco.com/go/primeinfrastructure."
Am I wrong to assume that the first bullet point, which states "Cisco Prime LAN Management Solution" is referring to Prime LMS 4.2?
Thanks,
Steven

Difference between cisco prime infrastructure and cisco WCS

Can you explain me difference between cisco prime infrastructure and cisco WCS.. I'm little bit confuse...
Thanks..

Hi Hasan,
In terms of features...You can say PI is more advanced version of WCS and NCS. All the stuff possible in WCS/NCS can be done on PI as well.
But from the architecture perspective , there are differences. If I remember correctly , WCS is based on 32 bit OS while NCS and PI based on 64 bit OS. For the same reason you cannot do inline upgrade from WCS to PI via any path and will have to change the platform/Hardware itself before moving to PI. However , inline upgrade from NCS to PI is possible if we follow the correct path.

Prime Infrastructure and WLC 2504 N+1 config syncronization

I've setup 2 cisco 2504 WLC's in a N+1 configuration, before we purchased Prime Infrastructure. Now I'm trying to syncronize the configurations between the two devices in PI. I've setup a configuration group, and it seems using templates will keep the configuration syncronized between the two devices. Is it possible for PI to automatically create the templates based on the current configuration of the device. Plus with PI 2.1 it seems like I have to create a template for every section of the configuration, shouldn't there be just one large template that has all the configurations.

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

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-

Cisco Prime Infrastructure and no new events / alarms since update to 2.2.1

Hello,
I have upgraded our Cisco Prime Infrastructure from version 2.1 to 2.2.1 (with a backup and restore). We have round about 700 APs and three 5208 Controller. So far everything seems to work really fine. The only problem is that there are no new alarms/events under "Monitor", "Alarms and Events".
The last entries (events and alarms) are dated before the upgrade. Other informations (like client counts for example) are correct.
Is there a known bug related to my problem? Can anybody help?
Thanks

I have done some research:
I see the following problems in the log-package (downloaded from Prime):

I think that there is a problem with a too small tablespace. But I can´t fix that. Anybody? ;)

Cisco Prime Infrastructure and VMWare Question

We currently do not have any VMWare configurations. Do we need to have an existing VM server to deploy the virtual appliance. I have been told it comes with an instance that I can deploy. We have a server that is new and beefy with plenty of RAM and Xeon 6 core running windows server 2008 R2. I have deployed VMware in the past. I just want the community input - Talking about Prime Infrastructure 1.1 virtual appliance.
Thanks

The virtual appliance needs to have a VMware hpervisor. You can use ESXi as a bare metal hypervisor.

Difference between Cisco Prime Infrastructure and Cisco Prime NCS

Dear All,
I am currenctly confused in choosing what type of Cisco Prime.
1.Which one should I choose? should I order Cisco Prime NCS or directly purchase Cisco Prime Infrastructure (since Cisco Prime Infrastructure has the feature of NCS)?
2, Why does Cisco not just remove the Cisco Prime NCS ordering Part Number since Cisco Prime Infrastructure already cover the NCS?
Please advice me

Hortono,
I started to write a long and lengthy msg about my experience with this, but instead, let me direct you to the horses mouth. There have been weekly webinars in regards to Cisco Prime (many differnt products under this headline) including Infrastructure. I believe the Cisco PI is actually scheduled for Thursdays, so hopefully you'll look at this in time to catch it and ask your questions from the gurus.
https://ciscosales.webex.com/ciscosales/j.php?J=200462944&PW=NMzhhNjM5OGU3
Looks like this may be the last week, catch it if you can.

Migrated to Prime infrastructure and now the login on the server doesn't work

We have recently migrated from WCS 7.0.230.0 to Prime Infrastructure 1.3.0.20 and now there is a problem with logging in to our accounts. The problem can be broken down into two parts:
1. We can't logg in using radius (this is still working if we use the WCS or other applications using the same rule)
2. Unless we delete and recreate our accounts we can't even logg in locally
We have re-entered the radiusservers (they disappeared during the migration)
We have tried changing authentication form from pap to chap (in both ends) and then back again
Our radius servers are running Win2k8 R2
Any suggestions on how to solve this? We really need to get the domain-loggin working

mmm, i would say make sure that you have the attributes related to virtual domain appended to the list.
If you have already done that ,
may be you need to try the following:
Step 1)
Open https://NCSIPADDRESS/webacs/dbUpdateAction.do
With root username and password
Step 2)
Execute the Query as below
Query (1)
update WCSDBA.WCSPREFERENCE
set value='ROOT-DOMAIN'
where key ='defaultPartition' and username='a_user'
note-
username should be changed to whichever user is facing issues while logging in
Query (2)
commit work;
or to remove all entries in WCSDBA.WCSPREFERENCE except for SYSTEM, root or ALL_USERS:
delete from wcsdba.wcspreference where username <> '[SYSTEM]' and username <> 'root' and username <> 'ALL_USERS';
commit work;
Step 3)
Restart NCS after the commit changes and try logging back with 'a_user'

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

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.

Ask the Expert: One Management with Prime Infrastructure 1.2

With Tejas Shah
Welcome to the Cisco Support Community Ask the Expert conversation. This is an opportunity to learn and ask questions from Cisco expert Tejas Shah on One Management with Prime Infrastructure 1.2 Combining the wireless functionality of Cisco Prime Network Control System (NCS) with the wired functionality of Cisco Prime LAN Management Solution (LMS), Cisco Prime Infrastructure simplifies and automates many of the day-to-day tasks associated with maintaining and managing the end-to-end network infrastructure from a single pane of glass. The new converged solution delivers all of the existing wireless capabilities for RF management, user access visibility, reporting, and troubleshooting along with wired lifecycle functions such as discovery, inventory, configuration and image management, automated deployment, compliance reporting, integrated best practices, and reporting.

Raun, please see my responses inline:
Can you go over the licensing method with Prime Infrastructure 1.2 please?
Raun, you can check out the following link for ordering guide at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps12239/products_data_sheets_list.html
I currently have NCS and do NOT currently have LMS. I know I can move to Prime Infrastructure through Cisco Product Upgrade Tool. However, what I am confused about is do I still have to buy LMS to have LMS functionality in Prime Infrastructure 1.2?
==> Not at all. The converged product will give you basic management capability for routers and switches that LMS provided in this release. Feature/Functionality will keep on growing with upcoming releases.
If not, do the licenses I transfer into Prime Infrastructure 1.2 from NCS also work for devices to work under LMS?
==> Licensing is different than NCS or LMS. You don't have to transfer the license. Each install of Prime Infrastructure will have a unique UID string on which the licenses are based. A new license will be applied to the product.
Mean, can my currently 350 licenses be used for AP's as in NCS and routers in the LMS portion of Prime Infrastructure 1.2?
==> I would recommend getting a total count of your wired and wireless devices and match the right SKU based on that.
Hope this helps.. Let me know if you have any further questions,
Tejas

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
Vinod
