Prime Infrastructure Netflow Config

Hi guys,
I am trying to configure Netflow monitoring on Prime Infrastructure. Do you guys know if I can change the port 9991 which Prime listens to another port number?
If possible, how to do that?
I have the 2.0 express.
thanks.

I hear you. Add your voice to the choir. :)
SNMP Traps are just one source of Alarms. You can and should deploy a device health monitoring template (or customize one) for PI to actively query device (or interface etc.) health.

Hi,
I have a report from cisco prime infrastructure, that I don´t know how to interpret, because the fields in the report I don´t know what´s mean them, the difference between them, what are optimal values, the worse values, etc.
Can someone help me with this

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-

Prime Infrastructure 2.0: Running an inventory sync removes "snmp-server location" in running-config

Hello,
we're running Prime Infrastructure 2.0 (version VA-2.0.0.0.294).
I was scared as I figured out one hour ago that running an inventory sync (Device Work Center) removes the command snmp-server location and adds the command snmp-server host "PI-ip address" "snmp rw community" in the running-config.
Has someone the same behaviour or can reenact this scenario?!
Can someone imagine that this behaviour has something to do with a configuration setting in PI?
I'm perplexed and got gray hair now.
Thank you for your answers or tips.
Bastian

Hello Rob,
I just successfully installed the patch. The snmp-server location is not touched anymore while running a inventory job.
But PI still enters this string in the running-configuration:
snmp-server host "PI-IP address" " our snmp RW community- string"
although there already exists the entry:
snmp-server host "PI-IP address" version 2c "community-string (not the snmp rw-community-string)"
Do you or anyone else has the same behaviour that PI adds automaically himself as snmp trap receiver with the SNMP-RW community?
Regards
Bastian

Prime Infrastructure 2.0 sync config tasks

Hi,
I'd like to know few things about PI 2.0 config handling:
1. Can PI save running config to startup config on a scheduled basis? Let's say once a week on all devices.
2. Can PI save running config to startup config whatsoever?
3. Can PI download running config when it receives a config trap from device when user enters/exits config mode?
4. Can PI export running and startup configs to a external location?
Thanks!

Hi ,
1.
*Scheduled-You can schedule when Prime Infrastructure collects the configurations of
selected devices and specify recurring collections by selecting Operate > Configuration
Archives, then clicking Schedule Archive.
like minute ..daily etc...
3. ASAI K ,this feature work on the bases of syslogs .. we do not have complete support in PI 2.0 yet so I think bases on config chnage syslogs or traps ,config will not be fetched.
4. for tihs check the below thread:

Pushing Configs to devices using Cisco Prime Infrastructure

Hi All,
I am trying to push a simple configuration to WLC using Prime Infrastructure. But it is failing as PI doesnot have RW SNMP access.
My question is that can I use PI to push configs without using SNMP. Like do it using ftp or something.
Also do the Wired Devices also need SNMP RW access on PI's part.
All your help is appreciated.
Mukul

You need SNMP RW.
If you use CLI template you need ssh/telnet credentials though.

Default netflow port in Prime Infrastructure 1.3

Is there any way to change the default port Prime Infrastructure Assurance 1.3 listens for Netflow on from 9991 to 9996?

I don't think so.
The PI 1.3 docs are pretty silent on Assurance but the Prime Assurance Manager 1.1 Quick Start Guide notes that port 9991 must be open for the Netflow Data Receiver

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 - Third Party NetFlow

Hi,
is it possible to collect on the Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 NetFlows from Third Party Devices, like a SonicWALL Firewall?
I mean it is possible to poll SNMP informations from a third party device, so maybe it is also possible to get the NetFlow from this Device?
Best Regards,
Sven K.
Sent from Cisco Technical Support iPad App

Hi Sven,
As per my understanding for 3rd party Only below thing are supported:
The following support level is available with Prime Infrastructure :
• Auto Discovery of a 3rd party Device
• Basic Inventory collection
• Basic lifecycle management of 3rd party device
• Ability to show traps and syslog for 3rd party devices
• Device reachability status polling
• Ability to load new MIBs & to create new monitoring templates
• For both Cisco and any SNMP device
More info is available in the link given below:

Prime Infrastructure 2.1 - Config Archive

In PI2.1, is it possible to send the config archive of my devices to a network drive? TIA

PI will always save the configurations into its database. That database is always on the PI server itself.
You can export the configurations from the database via a manual process - you could probably script it and kick it off via cron if you are handy with that sort of thing.
The export process is explained in a post by Vinod Arya in the Prime Infrastructure Ask the Expert thread.

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 config deployment (no copy run start)

I have deployed some CLI templates I have created to configure multiple local accounts on some switches. However the cli templete only appears to accept conf t commands, it will not accept 'write mem' or 'copy run start' at the end to save the altered running config to startup. this results in running and startup being 'out of sync' in the configuration archives, and runs the risk of a power failure causing the config to revert back to startup. Does anyone know how to ensure the altered running config is saved to startup during the config template deployment?

I don't know if this has been fixed in 2.0 or not. By the looks of the bug it hasn't. However, there is a workaround-

Prime Infrastructure - No option to save running config to startup
Conditions:
Prime Infrastructure 1.2/1.3
Workaround:
Create a Configuration Template that runs either:
"do write mem"
Or for devices which no longer support "write mem", use:
"file prompt quiet
do copy run start
no file prompt quiet"

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 2.1 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

Email notification for config deployment jobs in Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 ??

We're upgrading from LMS 3.2 to Cisco Prime Infrastructure ...
In LMS 3.2 we're using netconfig all the time to configure various jobs related to port security
In installing Cisco Prime Infrastructure and working through it's use of templates, I'm having some difficulty finding out how to send out a notification once a configuration job has completed. It's so simple in LMS 3.2 since it's part of the job creation screens.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

HI, Raymond
Just wondering if this problem is resolved?
Thanks!
