NAV supporting Cisco Voice VLANs
by Mischa Diehm 13 Okt '15

13 Okt '15

Hi, we are looking into using NAV with Cisco IP-Phones (8841/8851 series) and while trying the feature we realized the config put on the port doesn¹t use the cisco proprietary settings but sets the port into trunk. What we want to achieve is using an additional voice-vlan on the port like:: Switch(config)#interface range fastethernet 0/1 - 2 Switch(config-if)#switchport mode access Switch(config-if)#Switchport access vlan 50 Switch(config-if)#switchport voice vlan 10 As stated by Morten via IRC this has not been implemented yet also due to the fact that they lack the devices to test on. I wanted to ask if it was possible to implement this so it becomes part of the main NAV tree. We could fund this development and help with the testing. Maybe you could also give an estimate on how much work this would be? Thanks in advance, Mischa -- Mischa Diehm | Network Team (NINS) UniBasel | IT-Services (ITS) Klingebergstr. 70 | CH-4056 Basel Tel. +41 61 267 1574 | https://its.unibas.ch

Netmap AttributeError

Dear NAV users, I just have a fresh install of NAV In Debian 7. Everything seems to be ok: Graphite is working, I can include objets, I am getting alerts, etc. Nevertheless, the Netmap app function is not working, and as soon as I enter to it, I get the following error: AttributeError: 'QuerySet' object has no attribute 'categories_set' Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py", line 109, in get_response response = callback(request, *callback_args, **callback_kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/views/generic/base.py", line 48, in view return self.dispatch(request, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/views/generic/base.py", line 69, in dispatch return handler(request, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/views/generic/base.py", line 123, in get context = self.get_context_data(**kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/nav/web/netmap/views.py", line 70, in get_context_data NetmapViewSerializer(netmap_views).data File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/rest_framework/serializers.py", line 572, in data self._data = self.to_native(obj) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/nav/web/netmap/serializers.py", line 95, in to_native for view_category in obj.categories_set.all().select_related( AttributeError: 'QuerySet' object has no attribute 'categories_set' Some help would be highly appreciated, Best regards, Gustavo García RedCLARA

Typeoid issues
by ken.livesey＠gmail.com 29 Sep '15

29 Sep '15

So I am using the latest appliance in a vmware environment and I am new to NAV as of two weeks ago. Things started well and I am in love the potential of NAV. I had 20 devices added and those were working well; however I have run into an issue that I cannot seem to wrap my head around. It stated last week when I added a device and it failed to locate the typeoid string after performing an inventory. As I added additional devices I kept getting the same results. Thinking it might be a resource issue I purged all devices, restarted NAV and just added the device where the typeoid string first failed to load. No change. I then started searching the web for other with like errors. Not much except for a singe bridge plugin error which does not match this issue. I then bumped up the logging for ipdevpol plugings and found this warning: [WARNING plugins.typeoid.typeoid] [inventory DA13_SW07.xxxx.xxx] Netbox has changed type from unknown to unknown (sysObjectID 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.367) Each device for where the typeoid failed to load has this warning. So I figure the typeoid just failed to populate the table correctly. So I matched the reporting sysObjectID with the correct Cisco name and created a database seed with this type. I then rescanned and bingo the type field populated. Thinking I was out of the woods I check after the next inventory poll and found the device failed to access the devices inventory. Huh. Logs report this issue: [ERROR jobs.jobhandler] [inventory DA13_SW07.xxxx.xxx] Job 'inventory' for DA13_SW07.xxxx.xxx aborted: Plugin ciscovlan reported a timeout I have verified the system snmp and switch configurations and they are identical. I am using snmp 2c and the same RO community for all switches. There are layer 2 and layer 3 switches with produce this issue. There multiple models and port configurations. These are single function LANS connected with high speed MPLS, broadband, and direct fiber connections. I am guessing this is all stemming from a condition where the device cannot be polled or cannot be polled in a allotted time. There are no network error to these site and I have some sites were devices work well and others do not. All other aspects of the device can be polled and reported on just fine it’s just the inventory which fails. Here is the snmp stats from a L3 device which is subject to this issue.

NAV RAM Usage
by Studart UNI-RN 29 Jul '15

29 Jul '15

Hello guys, I'm running NAV 4.2 in a production environment here at the company I'm working for. I'm using Debian Wheezy (no graph interface installed) with 1GB of RAM and I have about 50 devices in the NAV seed database. I've noticed that almost all the the memory is already in use. It's no problem for me to increase it since it's in a virtual environment. But since I increase it I was just wondering if this is normal for NAV to use such amount of RAM memory. Thank you very much, -- Studart Tavares Analista de Redes Liga de Ensino do RN UNIRN - Centro Universitário do RN 55 84 3215-2917 (r 2818)

Some beginners questions
by Per Andersson 26 Jun '15

26 Jun '15

Hello! I have just started trying NAV, and is running it on a small part of our network at the moment, and have some questions: It finds our vlans and matches them with the correct prefixes but since we don't follow the convention for naming router interfaces the net ident and description fields is either empty (most common) or a bit confusing. Is there a way to edit them manually (directly in the database?)? Any other suggestions? If I want to enter cabling, in which "direction" is it supposed to be, should I enter the wiring closet as "Room" and the office as "Target" or the other way around? /Per Andersson Chalmers IT-department

Announcement: NAV 4.3.0 released
by Morten Brekkevold 19 Jun '15

19 Jun '15

The initial 4.3 series release of NAV is now out, with only minor changes and some bugfixes since the release candidate. A big thanks to those who helped test the release candidate! The source code is available for download at Launchpad [1]. A new package for Debian Wheezy has been published in our APT repository [2] as usual (We have no packages for Debian Jessie yet, due to dependency problems and our own resource constraints). The virtual appliance download has also been updated. Changes ======= This release makes some fundamental changes to NAV's data model to improve support for non-physical devices (like Cisco VSS and Cisco VDC). Please read the release notes [3] for further information. User-visible features and improvements: * LP#744943 (Add switch to toggle display of traffic lines in Geomap) * LP#961212 (Show planned/active maintenance tasks for device in IP Device Info) * LP#1149160 (Auto-recognize HTTP URLs in reports and hyperlink them) * LP#1166695 (PortAdmin available from the toolbox) * LP#1169550 (NAV's data model should reflect modern reality, with virtual device support) * LP#1242872 (Option to turn off traffic stats in Geomap) * LP#1248081 (New interface/tool to browse unrecognized neighbors) * LP#1366895 (Report widget) * LP#1421644 (Support Weathergoose traps from external temperature sensors) Bugfixes: * LP#1233093 (Report pages crash under psycopg2 >= 2.5) * LP#1397257 (Port Admin may not work properly for any non-HP and non-Cisco device) * LP#1447973 (CDP/LLDP neighbor matching fails when multiple ports match the identification) * LP#1447999 (Existing adjacency candidate data in db is not deleted if a device's CDP cache or LLDP remote table becomes empty) * LP#1448086 (Unable to identify LLDP neighbor's port in some instances) * LP#1458826 (1minstats job crashes on invalid ENTITY-MIB references from CISCO-PROCESS-MIB) * LP#1459138 (Ignore Cisco reserved VLANs when collecting BRIDGE-MIB data) * LP#1463724 (Increase frequency of module status verification) Happy NAVing everyone!
