Post by zaji_nms »

Network Switch / Router Monitoring Wizard query cisco port statistics but all interface not displayed in 1 page can't view next option or second page view. please reply as we are deploying our production router/switches using this wizard,

also what is the best practice to re-discover if new interface or port comes ?? do we need to run this wizard again again is their any caching mechanism for the same.

we would like to add our dslam in drop down option as a switch/router vendor how we can do that ??? like when we run wizard it gives cisco / foundry / bluecoat ...etc

Can you check the httpd error log after trying to get to step 2 again to see if any errors come up.

Code: Select all

tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log


I have a feeling that it may be timing out, you may want to look in the /etc/php.ini at the max_execution_time and increase that value, then restart apache

Code: Select all

service httpd restart
As for adding additional ports we have a document outlining the steps

Can you run the following from the command line replacing COMMUNITY_STRING IP_ADDRESS

Code: Select all

snmpwalk -v 2c -c COMMUNITY_STRING IP_ADDRESS IF-MIB::ifDescr
And let me know if this is reporting the new or old addresses

Dear Support,

thanks for your prompt reply ...
this is to inform you that , we have found that if description is written with any special character (# , $ etc )then wizard is not reading, but without special character it's updating.

Best Regards,
Yusuf
