Announcement: NAV 3.8.2 released
by Morten Brekkevold 07 Mar '11

07 Mar '11

NAV 3.8.2 is now available for download at Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/nav/3.8/3.8.2 This is a maintenance release - here is an excerpt from the changelog: - This maintenance release fixes compatibility with newer versions of Django and Cheetah. - Changelog for 3.8.1 forgot to mention the addition of a new "offline devices" report. The report lists serial numbers of devices known to NAV, but now appear to have been shelved. - NOTE: Users on upgraded installations should update their status preferences. A missing setting in the default preferences assigned to all new users would cause the status system to not display devices on maintenance in the "maintenance" section unless they were actually down or in shadow (as described in LP#723688). After the upgrade, go to `Status` -> `Preferences` -> `IP Devices on Maintenance` and add `Up` to the list of states to display. This choice was previously not enabled. Bugfixes: * LP#591602 (Endtime in maintenance period overwritten by a shorter maintenance period) * LP#720669 (can't add components to maintenance task when existing components have been deleted) * LP#721270 (CSRF Verification Fails on Django 1.2) * LP#721273 (Multiple NAV pages crash on non-ASCII chars under Cheetah 2.4) * LP#723619 (Maintenance crashes when adding multiple netboxes to a task) * LP#723688 (Status doesn't show devices on maintenance) * LP#724266 (MachineTracker inactive search says all IPs are inactive) * LP#724322 (netbox.uptodate is not altered when saving in seeddb) * LP#726402 (Rooms should be listed alphabetically when editing IP devices) * LP#726472 (portadmin should report error when snmp write is not available) * LP#726524 (prefix net type classification may be wrong on first discovery) * LP#728336 (`nav version` cannot find version information in NAV 3.8) Please report bugs at https://launchpad.net/nav/+filebug :-) A binary package for Debian 5 (Lenny) will be made available as soon as possible.

Relations between netbox, user and vlan to make vlans show in PortAdmin?
by Stokkenes Vidar 17 Feb '11

17 Feb '11

Hello there, After reading the release notes of NAV 3.8.0 I was thrilled to see that PortAdmin/vlanAdmin had finally been merged with NAV in this release, and swiftly upgraded our production NAV server to the 3.8.0. Now what I don't get, is the relation required between the netbox you want to "operate" with PortAdmin/vlanAdmin, the user and the VLAN. I have already tested with several switches with the same organization membership as my own account (who also is a NAV administrator) but no matter what I do, I never get any available VLANs on my PortAdmin tab on any switch or port (as you can see here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9962750/portadmin.png) Am I missing something fundamental in terms of relations required between the netbox, user and vlans? Best regards, Vidar Stokkenes

Announcement: NAV 3.8.0 released
by Morten Brekkevold 11 Feb '11

11 Feb '11

NAV 3.8.0 is now available for download at Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/nav/3.8/3.8.0 This is a feature release, which includes the following changes: User-visible features and improvements: * The database schema can now be kept updated automatically using the new `syncdb.py` program. Please see the `NOTES` file, and run the program as soon as you've upgraded. * NAV can now configure descriptions and access VLANs on your switch ports when an SNMP write community is set for a switch. This functionality is accessible through the IP Device Info tool. * SeedDB has been rewritten to use the Django framework (and has subsequently been reduced from nearly 5000 lines of spaghetti code to just below 2000 maintainable lines). * The number of concurrent ipdevpoll jobs can now be limited on a per-job basis, to ease the load on your system if so desired. See the annotated `ipdevpoll.conf` file. Bugfixes: * LP#643550 (Include ipdevinfo links in switch search in machine tracker) * LP#545029 (SmbChecker runs out of available file descriptors) Please report bugs at https://launchpad.net/nav/+filebug :-) A binary package for Debian 5 (Lenny) will be made available as soon as possible.

What does "Traffic in on switchports" show?
by Lars Kulseng 11 Jan '11

11 Jan '11

Hi I use NAV to, among other things, produce a monthly report about the usage statistics in our network. For this I use Statistics -> "Traffic in on switchports" + "Last Month". What does the resulting view show? Is it the average amount of traffic over the last month, or is it the total, or something else? I can't quite make the numbers add up on the different switch ports.

Link surveillance with NAV
by Sigurd Mytting 17 Des '10

17 Des '10

Hi! Wondering how other NAV'ers are doing link surveillance? I'm mostly interested in downed routing-ports, but also normal switch-ports, both host-access and switch-trunks, could of interest. Any input is appreciated! Cheers, -Sigurd
