I am trying to map the ports on a Cisco Nexus 5596 (layer 2 switch). Layer 3 switch is Cisco Nexus 7000.

The log shows complete but no info about MAC or IP addresses is shown:

I have been running this report as I am in the process of a Cisco switch refresh but I am finding that I am receiving a lot of "Unknown" manufacturer but I can take the mac and drop it into the OUI search at WireShark and it returns the proper name. I use this information to determine the users that need to be informed prior to performing the network closet refresh. Thanks in advance!

On our Cisco switches SNMP is activated and works fine for Solarwinds NPM.

But in the new software Switch Port Mapper I get an error message "Credential Test Failed".

It doesn't matter if I use SNMP v1/2c or SNMPv3

Does anyone know what I have to activate on my Cisco switches that I can use this software?

Running from the Engineers Toolset version 10.7, when I try and map a device, credentials pass, info seems to gather OK, but at the end I get the error "Error during map."

Here is the log file from a scan which looks like the scan actually completed:

Port Map - has to be a better way...

≪ Previous: Export results to excel?

Objective -

Publish available switch ports in Sharepoint for easy reference!

task to meet objective:

1. Run switch port mapper against EVERY switch

Map Layer3 to core arp table

2. Export results to excel

3. Add switch name and location to excel and save as xls.

4. Create Report in NPM with IP, Servername and machine type

5. Save report to excel

6. Import ALL switch spreadsheets to Access

7. Import NPM report to Access

8. Create Make Table Query in access and join on IP address on two tables (PortMap table and servername report table)

9. Export new table with all the joined data to Sharepoint list

10. Create new view in Sharepoint..

11. Grab Beer and a smoke!!! whew.. There has to be a better way.. I'm open to suggestions..

Here is the end result:

Default view; Grouped by Switch name and if operational status, collapsed.

*ifOper Down is operational status Down and it is assumed the switch port is available to be used.

Expanded view:

I have not come up with a solution to automate this, yet! So in order to keep this updated, the entire process needs to be run through again.

I need a layer 2 fixed-configuration access switches, which has 48 10/100/1000 Ethernet Ports. My friend suggested that I can choose WS-C2960X-48LPS-L and WS-C2960X-48LPD-L , But what is the main differences between the two?

We using the WS-C2960X-48LPS-L Cisco Catalyst 2960 Switches, but with the development of the company, we need more bandwidth to support our work. Someone suggest to add a SFP module on the switch to meet my requirements. But as far as I know, the original SFP module is much too expensive. Can I use a 3rd party transceiver on WS-C2960S-24TS-L?

Hello all, I have a switch on a remote site that I need to act as a router. The switch is a cisco WS-C2960S-24TS-S.I understand that in order to do this, the switch needs to have the LANbase SDM. This is my current setup:

SW01#sh sdm prefer
The current template is "default" template.
The selected template optimizes the resources in
the switch to support this level of features for
0 routed interfaces and 255 VLANs.

number of unicast mac addresses: 8K
number of IPv4 IGMP groups: 0.25K
number of IPv6 multicast groups: 0.25K
number of IPv4/MAC qos aces: 0.375k
number of IPv4/MAC security aces: 0.375k
number of IPv6 policy based routing aces: 0
number of IPv6 qos aces: 0
number of IPv6 security aces: 0.125k

What do I need to do to get the LAN base template loaded?

Do I need to upgrade the ios? If so, do I need to purchase a Smartnet in order to download this?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Cheers

≪ Previous: What do I need to do to get the LAN base template loaded?

when using Switch port mapper I noticed that some of my switch interfaces are showing a 1/2/2015 as the "Last Status Change". Does anyone know why I am seeing a 2015 date, and how I can fix this? I have looked at the settings, and just cant seem to find where this date is coming from.

≪ Previous: Switch Port Mapper

HI all,

i'm recently installed the switched port mapper on one of my servers and hoping to start the port mapping of MAC addre. to IP addre. because all of you know the benfite of this mapping.

once i've installed the Switch port mapper and start to use it, i found somthing ware in mapping procedure, i cann't see the ip addresses in the ip addre. field that is corrsponding to specific MAC addre.?

i can see the vlan ID and MAC addres. and other several fields but the ip address associates with specific MAC addre. of Specific port cann't be displayed.

i'm very happy if someone facing this problem before and he could to solve it, then instruct me for the solution.

Regards,

≪ Previous: Credential Test Failed...

I've got one Cisco 6509 out of fourteen that doesn't list ports in order by blade. This particular switch lists blade #1 last instead of first. I've checked the port mapper settings and several switch's SNMP configuration to see where I can affect the order but come up short. Tried reaching for straws: generating the report without the interface index column, target vlan addresses instead of loopback, changing the snmp source address.

The tool has always listed ports on chassis switches in blade order but not this time. I'm stumpedHow it the sequence determined?
