network switch wizard

Post by zaji_nms »

Dear Expert,

we have nagiosxi 2012R1.7 running on centos. we would like to know what is the best practice to scan a device having more than 10,000 interface and get the result on screen . is there any file parameters needs to be fine tune ( exp : php.ini ) if yes which parameters and what will be the values ?

we have tried but it took more than 2hr and after timeout error or device error.

we have verified snmp response..
[root@c1nms ~]# snmpwalk -v 2c -c xxx jls-xxx-2 sysuptime
DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (413674978) 47 days, 21:05:49.78
[root@c1nms ~]# snmpwalk -v 2c -c xx jls-xx-2 ifName.1
IF-MIB::ifName.1 = STRING: 1-1-1-0

expecting your prompt reply.

Regards.

Most likely it took so long to error as it was unable to process the amount of variables. You should increase your timeout in php.ini to around 300 seconds to start, then also create or modify if already created max_input_vars to around 100k. Restart apache after making these changes, and try the wizard again.
