New to NAV, supported devices
by Vinsonnaud Ludovic 07 Des '17

07 Des '17

Hello, Sorry about my english, I'm french so everything may not be understood :-) I'm new to NAV and this software seems very interesting for my needs. I'm managing the network in an Engineer School (IOGS) and CNRS Labs (LCF and LP2N) based in 2 sites (near Paris and near Bordeaux). I've got an heterogeneous group of switches because we begin to change our 100Mb switches by 1Gb and 10Gb ones. For the moment we own : - Dell S4048-ON (force10) used for routing - Dell N2048 - Dell N4064 - Cisco 2960s - Cisco 3750 My switches are recognized pretty well after some tweaking. For Cisco 2960, everything works. Sometimes I've got timeout and "failed" changes so I need to wait before trying again (especialy vlan change). For Cisco 3750, it's the same For Dell N2048, I'm a bit confused because if I have this command "switchport access vlan 524" already set in the switch and I ask to change the vlan from 524 to 525 with NAV, it adds this command "switchport general pvid 525" but doesn't delete the old one. So why change a "switchport access" by a "switchport general" ? Is it better to have a "switchport mode general" in default config ? Switchport mode access is the default mode, the 2 combined commands will not work as intended I think ? I've not yet tested S4048 and N4064. -- Regards, IOGS Logo <https://www.institutoptique.fr> *Ludovic Vinsonnaud * - Ingénieur Réseau basé à Bordeaux, bureau F108 (IOA, Rue François Mitterrand, 33400 Talence) *Institut Optique Graduate School* 2 Avenue Augustin Fresnel - 91127 PALAISEAU Cedex Tel. +33 5 57 01 71 52 - Mob. +33 6 08 08 41 05

Ipdevpoll issues
by William Daly - Network Specialist, VUSD Technology 28 Nov '17

28 Nov '17

Hello all, I just updated our installation to 4.8.0. I noticed however, that there seems to be an issue with multicore mode with ipdevpoll. It seems to no longer work. Only one process runs, or it doesn't seem to run at all. Anybody else encounter any issues with this? Thanks William Daly Network Specialist (707) 453-6170

Changing Link Capacities Netmap
by William Daly - Network Specialist, VUSD Technology 08 Nov '17

08 Nov '17

Hello, I have sort of a different question. Here a bit of context: We currently have 17 sites throughout our school district. All of these have a 1Gbps uplink to our main district office. However, most of these sites are throttled at 100 Mbps. Of course NAV sees these links at 1 Gbps. The issue that I have is when viewing our network topology through Netmap it shows bandwidth usage based on 1 Gbps. However, the sites run at 1/10 the actual link capacity. Is there a way to 'change' Netmap to show bandwidth usage based on a different threshold? Thank you William Daly

I am probably missing something in the documentation somewhere but what is the address to access NAV once installed. I followed the installation instructions for Debian but I don't see anywhere what the default website is. Ie http://localhost/something Thanks Gordon Cook
