Using Cisco Prime NAM as Netflow collector

Hi everybody,
I would like to know if it's possible to use a Cisco Prime Network Analysis Module for ISR G2 as a NetFlow collector. A draft of architecture is attached. What I need to do is monitor Gi0/0 and Gi0/2 and produce reports about the total amount of traffic to/from two groups of server in the remote data center. My customer doesn't want to use it's NMS neither wants to use a netflow collector. My company can't install and/or operate any kind of new software or hardware to do this job. VRF is not a problem, I can monitor them one at a time.
Reading documentation it seems me that it's possible configuring Netflow as a data source.
Has any body any experience in tis kind of config ?
Thx,
Enrico

The detailed view of the CDR based dashlets displays the CDR or CMR data only for the last 30 days.
The call details of the endpoints prior to 30 days is not displayed by the dashlets, however, the aggregation
of CDR or CMR data for the endpoints is available for the time period of one year.

Cisco Prime NAM 5.1 Data Sources

Hi!,
Im having a bit of a problem configuring the Data Sources for the NAM to monitor.
I have a ISR G2 Router 2911 with a SRE-NAM module with Cisco Prime NAM 5.1 installed. It's up and running.
The Router has 3 interfaces which Ive configured the "analysis module monitoring" so that it can send all the traffic to the NAM module.
However, one of the interfaces is connected to a Switch 6500 which has many ports in use carrying vlans. It has a lot of traffic going on.
I want to send that traffic to the NAM Module so that i can monitor it using the software.
Ive configured in the switch a ERSPAN session with the ... monitor session commands. Ive assigned as sources all of its connected ports and as destination the port that is connected to the 2911.
Then when i go back to the Software, and in Data Sources i create the ERSPNA session, it doesnt work. it doesnt see the traffic.
Is there anything else i should configure both in the switch and in the router??
Please i would appriciate all the help i can get.
Thank you very much
Sincerely,
Dante Verastegui

Alfroj,
I downloaded the NAM 5.1 software to be installed on a SRE Module.
I was wondering if you could help me out with an error.
When i configure the module and then try to install the files from a ftp server, it doesnt work.
It loads all the files and when its installing, theres a crash and the system reboots. It does this all the time. Just keeps rebooting and rebooting.

Cisco Prime NAM 5.1

Hi!!
I have a question!!
I want to build a small demo with the new Cisco Prime NAM 5.1; however, I only have a NM-NAM module for a Cisco Router 2811.
I've read the data sheets and I've come across info that the NAM 5.1 software can be installed on the NME-NAM module which is the replacement for the previous one. Nevertheless, it doesnt say that its not supported on the NM-NAM.
Therefore, my question is, can I install the NAM 5.1 image on a NM-NAM module??
Please I would appriciate your repply. ASAP, the Networkers is coming up and we are deploying a NAM demo!
Thank you very much!!
Sincerely,
Dante Verastegui

Traffic Analyzer is rare with Cisco Prime NAM

Hi,
we see any rare with Traffic Analyzer, see that ip source configured X.X.X.X/24 is as destination X.X.X.X. Where see that source is Y.Y.Y.Y. If we configure as destination X.X.X.X wihout source about Cisco Prime NAM, will have that appear in traffic analyzer as ip Destination correctly, but is backwards.
have a card NAM-2 with last patch (WS-SVC-NAM-2), Version 5.1(2)). We configure about Cisco Prime Network Analisis Module Web where
choose Capture > Packet/Capture Decode > Sessions
Configure Capture Session paramaters correctly, below:
with a Name "Prueba"
Capture Sourceis Data Ports with DATA PORT 1 and DATA PORT 2. (see attach file Configure Capture Session.jpg)
Configure Software Filter Dialog parameters correctly, below:
with a Name "Prueba"
Destination Address / Mask: X.X.X.X/24
select Both Directions
Application or Port: None
(see attach file Software Filter Dialog.jpg)
w
When have all configured about Cisco NAM, we see in Analyzer Packet that ip configure as destination appear as source, and as source other address. We see that is not correctly
(see attach file Nam Traffic Analyzer Packet Decoder.jpg)
It´s normal or is an issue real?

Configuration backup of Nexus 7706 VDCs using Cisco Prime 2.1

Hi all,
Cisco Nexus 7706 with multiple VDCs is not supported on Cisco Prime 2.1 but can be added to monitor the reachability. Is there a way to collect atleast the configuration backup of the VDCs through Cisco Prime 2.1?
Regards, Sohail

The Bulk update option has been started with PI 2.0.
You can either streamline or change the information on the devices, or if you have another set of credentials for a different subnet, you could add that to the CLI section of the discovery profile and rerun the discovery. If you have a handful of changes, you can click the devices with a status of Managed with Warning and then click the Edit button to modify the credentials.
With Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0, there is now an ability to export devices with credentials directly from the GUI. Navigate to Operate > Device Work Center and you should be able to see the “Export Device” button as shown in following figure:
At that point in time, you can export the device credentials, change them using a spreadsheet application, and import them back.
TIP: If you need to change the credentials for devices in bulk, this method can be used to do that.
Importing Devices Manually
If you maintain a spreadsheet that has all the devices and would rather get started with that, you do have this option in Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0. If you to go Operate > Device Work Center > Bulk Import, you get an import pop-up as shown in the figure below:
The configuration is stored in the oracle DB in various table and indexes. Unfortunately, it doesnt allows to see that configuration from the server directory. But you can manage and view from CPI GUI.

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.

Is Cisco Prime required to use Cisco MSE?

I recently purchased a Cisco MSE 3355 with locator licenses. I have 2- Cisco ISE's and 2 - WLC 5508s.
Is it required to use Cisco Prime in order to see the location services that the MSE is providing?
If so, what type of license do I need?

Prime Infrastructure is required and you need to purchase enough lifecycle license to have a license for every AP you have. Details of the license options are below:

Cisco Prime Infra 2.1 fails to import an image from file

We have a standard Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1 install. The software repository has been built up by importing the IOS images from the discovered network devices. To implement netflow capabilities on some 3750X switches we need to upgrade the IOS on the chassis and the NM card C3KX-SM10G. I was able to download from Cisco Support the 3750X IOS .tar file and import it from my machines local file system. However, the modules tar file c3kx-sm10g-tar.150-2.SE6.tar fails on the upload from my local file system. When I look at the import rob results they are as follows:
Image collection from source SUCCESS
Copying Image to Staging Location SUCCESS
Copying Image to Repository FAILURE
I've tried to import just the .bin file but this also fails at the same stage as above.
I've also tried to scp the file directly into the backend file structure with no success into the folder /opt/CSCOlumos/conf/ifm/swim/jobs with the other images (oddly noticed the above .tar file for the 3750X isn't listed with the other .bin files - although is available through the webGUI).
I need to distribute the NM .tar file across multiple switches and I'd prefer to use Cisco Prime for the job. Any help would be gratefully received.
Thanks.

I had (still have?) the same problem with it not copying the image over. I put in a ticket and they told me to upgrade to Prime Infrastructure 2.1-Device Pack 4 pi_2.1device_packs_4-40.ubf which helped but it still fails sometimes.
I had read a post from another thread about going through software image management to distribute and that seems to work a little better, but still fails sometimes.
So I think that there are still quite a few issues in Prime that need worked out.
We have over many switches that need software upgrades and I was hoping to do it quickly through Prime but I don't want to send out more then one image at a time to switch because I don't want it to fail. So it's a drawback right now, just doing one at a time to make sure it takes.

Some question about Cisco Prime Infrastructure

Dear all
I have some question about using Cisco prime Infrastructure:
- Can I show how many user access to one Access Point (AP) ?
- If I can. What is display information of user ? etc Ip address, MAC, username access, name of device (notebook, tablet, phone ..)
- How many time do Cisco Prime Infrastructure refesh user informantion .?
Please help me and send picture about it if you can.
Thank you so much.

Hi,
I don't have the Prime Infrastructure to post you image, but you can simply find all the answers you want on the config guide:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/prime_infrastructure/1.2/configuration/guide/clientmgmt.html#wp1232242
1- You can surely find how many clients associated to a specific AP.
- Informaiton of the client usually includes username, SSID, ip address, mac address, RSSI, device vendor...etc. I don't think it contains the device type (ipad or iphone both appear as apple vendor. it does not destinguish between this and that.
3- The time of the refreshment is configurable. You need to configure the corresponding background task for the poll period. (this is also metnioned in the link above).

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?

Cisco Prime infrastructure 1.2.1.012 -- HA issue

Hi All
I will explain the background before, our customer using Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2.1.012 and do HA. However I got error message wcss1 (in attaced file) from HA configuration. (First I had done HA configuration before and it worked. But I get error message wcss1 after i tested failover on cisco prime). I found bug case CSCud12229 that is same error message. But i still confuse with work around "Workaround:Change the database mode to Read-Write by executing query ?alter database open? or execute the shell script - /opt/CSCOlumos/bin/recover_HADeadLock.sh" anyone understand please help.
And another option I tried to upgrade with version 1.3 also but it have a bug no CSCud80157. It is the problem with HA registration fial so, i would like to ask you all that if i need to do HA on Cisco Prime infrastructure which version i should to install ? coz I saw 1.2 or 1.3 also have a bug with HA
Thanks
V

Hi rajeeshp,
Currently I am not allowed to upgrade it because of internal procedures involved in upgrading a specific piece of software (obtaining permissions from various departments). Is it free to upgrade from 1.2 to 1.3 or there is a specific charge for that.

Device discovery in Cisco Prime LMS 4.1

Hi,
im using CISCO PRIME LMS 4.1 for manage my network, i ran a device discovery job using a ping sweep on the ip ranges of my network, ie 192.168.1.0/24, 192.168.2.0/24 and so on... the discovery found all my devices, but it discovered duplicate devices with illegal ip Addresses, ie
ip                                    device
192.168.1.255               S1
192.168.2.0                    S1
192.168.2.1                    S1 (the real address)
all in reachable status.
i dont undestad why the program adds that repeated illegal addresses.. someone can help me with that issue??
how can i run the device discovery to avoid this problem?
Many Thanks.

Julio,
Don't let LMS decide on what IP address it will manage the device.
For example, let LMS do a lookup of the sysname in DNS, then it will use the IP address coming back from the DNS as management IP.
This is what I do to avoid this.
But I also feel that LMS should be bright enough to never manage the same device twice. I think Campus DFM or RME will eventually figure out the 2 devices are the same, but they can't "fix" what is wrong in the DCR.
Cheers,
Michel
