Monitoring Brocade Switch Health using Solarwinds Orion NPM

Hi,

 

I have 2 Brocade Switches, model 5100

 

Appl     Primary/Secondary Versions

------------------------------------------

FOS      v6.4.0b

         v6.4.0b

 

I want to monitor their health using the Solarwinds NPM.

 

The default poller is not helping much and I guess I need to create a custom poller.

 

I am not an expert on Orion, so Are there any ready pollers available, which I can import and use

 

I would like to monitor,

 

1. Port Errors

2, Port Statistics

3. Switch Health(all the Physical components)

 

Thanks and Regards,

Question about VWIC2-2MFT-T1/E1 cards

$

I'm trying to setup a lab with 3 routers where I'm using VWIC2-2MFT-T1/E1 cards.  I'd like to really take advantage of these cards being that they came with the routers. I'm having trouble bringing up the interfaces.  I'm showing a serial interface up, line protocol down.  Being that I'm using T1 crossover cables and not a DCE/DTE cable, I don't believe the clock rate command will apply here.  Am I correct in this assumption?  I also tried chaning the encapsulation to PPP, but I still can't bring the interface up.  What am I missing?  I tried using the 'debug serial interface' but I still need to learn to use it.  Any suggestions?

partial IP -> DNS name resolution

$
0
0

I'm currently trying out the 14-day trial of Switch Port Mapper and I'm running into incomplete name / ip resolution issues. 

How is SPM doing the DNS lookup? 
Does it only query the servers primary DNS, or does it walk the list?

Does it check to make sure the mac or ip are available before lookup?

I see instances of failed lookup's that are either;

ip no longer pingable, still in arp & dns, but SPM not resolving

ip is pingable, still in arp & dns, but SPM not resolving

 

I thought perhaps our HSRP/GLBP dual router envrionment was a problem, but i'm seeing this in single router environments as well.

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.

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,

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

$

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

Export results to excel?

Can the results of the switch port mapper be exported to excel? Or exported at all?

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

$

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.

swportmap1.JPG

Expanded view:

swportmap2.JPG

 

 

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.
