Topology map

Good morning to all!
We have a CiscoWorks LMS 2.6 installation that manage a WAN network architecture (hub-and-spoke architecture). My question is sample: all links are 2 Mbps links and topology map represent these in correct way. In one case topology map draw a numb "2M" to connect the network devices: why?
In general: when topology map uses the numb to represent the links?
Thanks in advance for the answer

I don't follow what you're describing. Post a screenshot illustrating this problem.

Topology map not working in LMS 3.1

Hi,
I recently did a clean installation of LMS 3.1. The topology services is not working returning an error named "Failed to initialize: Java.lang.NumberFormatException: null"in the pop up window.
Any help would be appreciated
with thanks

I can't unse this version of java plug-ins because in a screen of Campus
Manager said you need to install java 1.5. I deinstalled all plug-ins of Java of my notebook an then install only plug-ins that LMS 3.1 have jre-1_5_0_15-windows-i586-p_withvbj.exe
Only with this plug-ins, Topology map is working now.
Thanks.

LMS 2.6 VG202, 202, and 224 Not showing in Topology Map!

Hello,
Would there be a reason for VG202, 204, and 224 not to show in the topology map?
I can see the devices under Device Management in RME, also can see them unde the Topology Services window, however, when the topology map comes up, I cannot see the devices in there, when I try to find them they are not listed, andn ot listed in the Device type within the VTP Domain Topology window that shows a map of the devices on our domain neither!
Do I need to download a MIB for these devices for the topology map to recognise them?
PS: The following is a list of Software Spec I have installed on our network:
LMS 2.6
CiscoWork Common Services 3.0.6
Campus Manager 4.0.13
CiscoView 6.1.5
Device Fault Manager 2.0.13
Integration Utility 1.6.0
Resource Manager Essentials 4.0.6
Many thanks,

Dear Joseph,
Apologies for my late reply, I was away on Holiday.
Checking on our topology map the VG202 and 204 show as a green box with a question mark on it.
I connected to the switch that they are attached to and I can see the devices when I run the sh cdp nei command.
Any advise please?

LMS 4.2 bent or crooked Topology Map links

Hello all,
I'm trying to include as much info as I can, so forgive the lengthy post. I have an ongoing issue with reoccurring bent or crooked Topology map links. Imagine two devices that are in the same region, even installed in the same data closet. The map link between device A may go off across the map, take a 90 degree turn, run a little bit, then take another 90 degree turn back to device B. The bent links are not between all devices and seems to reappear even after I right-click and delete the link(s). The bent links may even reappear between numerous different devices, even after I cleanly log out of my map and LMS. I have worked with at least two Cisco TAC support CSE's who have never seen this issue (scary), and have been unable to provide a solution except to delete my "Layer~2~View.xml" server profile file, but this is no guaranteed fix.
Here is my LMS setup:
> Windows Server 2008 SP1, with all Important updates
> Cisco Prime LMS 4.2.3
> Workstation is Win7 Enterprise, fully patched
> Internet Explorer 9
> Java SE 6 Update 38
This issue was also happening under LMS 4.2.2. Based on another article I found on these forums, I have deleted and recreated all of my LMS databases to defaults, to no avail. I am also fighting another issue where my Topology maps are not saving, producing the "Unable to save map..." message in the lower-left map corner (I added my comments to an existing post about that annoying issue.)
See attached picture for an example.
Any suggestions or comments are welcome.
Thanks!

Hi,
May be is independed of the browser but if i started under IE it was unsuccessfull.
I cleared the java from my computer and opened the LMS by IE. The java was intalled but topology map did not started.

Cisco PI v2.2 Network Topology Maps

Good afternoon,
I have Cisco PI v2.2 installed on a VM and working fine. I want to add my Network Topology Maps to the main dashboard for ALL users, but I can only see them when logged in as root. How can I get a "standard" user to be able to view these topology maps?
Thanks,
John L.

Dashboards are unique to users. Each user need to set his Dashboard accordingly.
If multiple user's share a common username to login, they should be able to see the same topology map.
In case you want to allow the other users with different roles and groups, you can edit the group they belong to and add Network Topology Map to their permission.
You can see the groups and their permissions under :
Administration > Users, Roles & AAA
Roles who has access to Network Topology: The Network Topology menu will be available to users with below roles:
Admin
ConfigManagers
SystemMonitoring
SuperUsers
Root
-Thanks

Problems with LMS 4.1 Topology Maps

Hi
I've just installed LMS 4.1 in my demo lab. Everything is working fine except for the Topology maps. When I click on the topolgy from configuration
I get
I've tried doing what its asked a number of times but with no success and was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and know the fix.
I'm running windows 7 with Java version 1.6.0_26 . Also this is the virtal appliance installation of Cisco LMS 4.1.
Regards

Your problem looks similar to one I have seen with incompatible Java versions. I suggest two things to check it out:
1. Launch Topology directly when logging in from the server desktop itself (via RDP is fine). Does it work there? If so, the issue is client-based.
2. Uninstall Java compeltely on the client. Then launch LMS in a browser. When you navigate to Topology tools you should be redirected to the CiscoWorks server's own Java distribution which is packaged to be the precise version (1.6.0_24) that it prefers. Download and install that version and check if the problem is fixed.
One can work around the Java issues in some cases but it's ugly. This, combined with Sun / Oracle's predeliction to want to upgrade Java to the latest version automatically makes this one of the trickier tools in the LMS toolbag to use consistently from diverse remote clients.

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2: How to rebuild Topology Maps?

Hello everyone,
I have a problem with the Topology Map feature introduced in PI 2.2. There are switches/devices in the topology map wihtout a single managed link. The device just sits there all alone. I think this must be some issue with the topology map building process, since all my switches are connected directly to the core switches and some of them show up with managed links and some do not. All the switches are basically configured the same and run the same software image (15.0(2)EX4, 15.0(2)EX4). I would like to rebuild the topology maps from scratch to see if there is an issue with the topology data already stored in the database. Is there a switch in PI that triggers a rebuild of the topology maps? Of course, any other solution or hint is appreciated as well.
- Benjamin
PS: Google didn't come up with an answer on this one and I couldn't find a solution in the PI documentation, that's why I'm asking here :)

I think I found the solution: All the switches without a managed link are connected via vPC to the NEXUS Core. So obviously vPCs are not shown in the topology maps ...

Network topology map Cisco Prime Infrastructure

Hi just want to inquire if it is possible to create a network topology map on cisco prime infrastructure's dashboard that will display both wired and wireless devices or do we need another cisco product to accomplish it.
Thanks

At long last, Prime Infrastructure 2.2 was released yesterday (17 December 2014) and now includes the Topology map feature:
"Cisco Prime Infrastructure provides a visual map that allows you to view the physical network topology, including the network devices and the links that connect them. The topology maps have indicators that show the current alarm status of network devices and links. By using the network topology maps, you can easily monitor your network by viewing alarms and viewing the interconnection between the devices." (Link)
I'm migrating a system now and will open a new thread with first impressions.

LMS3.2 - Topology Maps not going red

I'm experiecing an issue similar to that in https://supportforums.cisco.com/message/3225665#3225665, whereby device icons on the Topology Services Campus Maps are not turning red when the device goes down, unless I manually close all of the Topology Services windows, and then re-open Topology Services from fresh.
I've followed the steps in the above forum post, including adding entries to my local hosts files and turning on the various status, frontend, core, and corex debugging under Campus Manager > Admin > Debugging Options > Data Collection - but the issue still persists.
Is there anything else I need to configure to get the devices to dynamically turn red/green? According to the logs I can see, the poller knows that the devices are up or down, and the Device Poller is set at 10 minutes, but Topology Services doesn't seem to dynamically refresh the icons.

Resolution
For all those who are interested, the answer seemed to be to update to CiscoWorks LMS 3.2.1 - also known as CiscoWorks LMS 3.2 Service Pack 1 (SP1).
This seemed to resolve the issues I was having; although I did also have to rebuild my entire CiscoWorks LMS setup by installing from scratch and re-setting all fifty million variables.
Update all CiscoWorks Application Software versions
It's also worth making sure that your CiscoWorks Suite Software Applications are as up-to-date as possible by going to
Common Services -> Software Center -> Software Update.
At time of writing, the latest CiscoWorks Suite Software Application versions are:
       Bundle Name        Version
1.     LMS                    3.2.1
           Product Name                            Version With Patch Level
1.         Campus Manager                       5.2.2
2.         CiscoView                                  6.1.9
3.         CiscoWorks Assistant                1.2.0
4.         CiscoWorks Common Services    3.3.1
5.         Device Fault Manager                  3.2.1
6.         Integration Utility                         1.9.0
7.         Internetwork Performance Monitor 4.2.1
8.         LMS Portal                                 1.2.1
9.         Resource Manager Essentials      4.3.2
Ensure you have set the Topology Status Poller
By default, only devices in the Critical Device Poller are polled for reachability (red or green), every 2 hours I think. If you want to ensure all devices on the Topology Services Map are polled for reachability:
Go to Campus Manager -> Administration -> Data Collection -> Device Poller and set the checkbox to "All Devices", then set the polling time as appropriate (ours is set for every 10 minutes, or 0:10:00
You'll probably need to completely restart your Topology Services (main Topology Services window, File -> Exit to close all Java Topology Services windows) for any changes to this to take effect.

LMS 4.2 Topology View

Hi
I have installed LMS 4.2 in one of my customer site. We have added all the switches and everything works perfectly. Recently we added all the CCTV cameras in lms.
Issue is that when CCTV camera is down it takes a long time to show in topology map..Any one knows how to make view in topology map as real time. Atleast a delay of 30sec is okay..
Regadrs
-Danish

Topology view is not really intended to be a real time (or near real time) fault management tool. While you can turn up the speed of it's discovery cycle, it will create excessive workload and, depending on the size of your network, may result in polling never stopping due the time to complete one cycle being more than the time you have configured to start over again.
To see near real time faults (such as loss of a CCTV camera), have operators refer to the Fault Monitor display:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_lan_management_solution/4.2/user/guide/lms_monitor/mnt-faultbrowser.html
If you want to customize the polling of devices for fault management, refer to the Fault Management chapter of that same guide:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_lan_management_solution/4.2/user/guide/lms_monitor/mnt-fault.html

Maps SCOM 2012

Hello Guys
I have installed SCOM 2012 R2 and I need to map the monitored servers but no license sharepoint enterprise to create with Visio pluging monitoring views.
I've already posted dashboard in SharePoint but I have not found another way to create a similar topology to what can be achieved with Visio.
I would like your help to know if there is another way to create topologies (maps) and be published by example in html o in sharepoint.
Regards
SAN

No, you will need to create Maps for SCOM 2012 R2 by Dashboards. you can't do it through SharePoint by .html

LMS 3.2 Campus Manager Topology Issue with C450X-E

We replaced catalysts catOS 6509 by c4503-E and C4506-E in the network.
Since that replacement, 2 links gigaethernet bundled in an etherchannel disappeared from Campus Manager Topology maps (vtp and layer maps).
These links were drawn with 6509 in the old maps but not now with 450X-E.
We have also 235 other switches without any problems.
The links are up and each switch is seeing its neighbour by cdp on each link. No discrepancies found for these links.
I have done a reinit of ANI database by reinitdb.pl -restore and restart a complete discovery and data collection.
The issue is the same.
Campus Manager Version is 5.2.1 with CSCtd49439 installed
CMDeviceUpdate Version is 13.0
C450X-E IOS version is 12.2(53)SG2
In the file "campus\etc\cwsi\portsData.xml" the links do not appear that means they are not discovered.
In Device Center, each switch is seeing the other switch as a neighbour.
Do someone has any idea on that issue ?
Thanks.

Hi,
I have the same problem.
I'm sorry but I'm not used to the TAC and I can't find where I can download the patch.
Can you tell me what is the procedure to get this patch ?
thank in advance

Network Topology in Campus Manager

I have two switches that are unsupported in my network topology map. These devices show up as green boxes with question marks. The switches are catalyst 3560's model number WS-C3560-48TS. I can see where the 24 port model is supported but not the 48 port. Is there a way to get support for these devices so that my topo map doesn't have green icons with question marks?

Which campus manager service pack do you have installed? This support was added in CM 3.0.4
