Alert Profiles, filters and options
by BERGELIN SABADELL, IVAR-ERIC 16 Feb '23

16 Feb '23

Hello, My name is Ivar and I work at Universitat Pompeu Fabra of Barcelona. I sent an email a few days ago asking about the API's options of NAV (no responses yet). Now I'm trying to get the link status of a switch using filters, but I have three questions. - Is it possible to get this information using filters? My idea is to send a daily email with a list of the ports of a specific switch which has link status down through NAV's "Alert Profiles" tool. - What is the difference between these two tabs? [image: image.png] [image: image.png] - Is this second option checking if a port has an ethernet cable plugged to the ethernet card of a computer at that moment?

Fwd: A question about computers connectivity
by BERGELIN SABADELL, IVAR-ERIC 16 Feb '23

16 Feb '23

Hello, My name is Ivar, I work at Universitat Pompeu Fabra of Barcelona and we use NAV 4.5.2. I have a question about the NAV's API functionalities. We are looking to see if it's possible to check whether a group of computers connected to a specific switch have "link signal status" even when they are turned off (all the computers have WOL enabled as well). I found an example to get the state (active) of a computer. Here in this following link of your documentation URL: http://navscc-upf.x.upf.edu/doc/howto/using_the_api.html You show a specific scenario titled: We want to know the interface a computer is connected to right now. We have the ip-address of the computer. So, when it says "We want to know the interface a computer *is connected to right now*" means the computer is turned on or it works even if the computer is off? it would help us a lot. Thank you. -- *Ivar Bergelin* Tècnic de suport informàtic Unitat d'Informàtica del Campus del Poblenou Roc Boronat 138 | 08018 - Barcelona [Tel.] (+34) 93 542 23 58 http://www.upf.edu

How to filter reports on Attributes
by Ingeborg Hellemo 08 Feb '23

08 Feb '23

Filter reports gives you the option to filter on "Attributes". What is the correct incantation to fill in that will give something else than "There was an unhandled SQL error!"? --Ingeborg -- Ingeborg Østrem Hellemo -- ingeborg.hellemo(a)uit.no Dep. of Information Technology --- Univ. of Tromsø

This is the definition of an entry in the ipAddressTable: > IP-MIB::ipAddressEntry > ipAddressEntry OBJECT-TYPE > -- FROM IP-MIB > MAX-ACCESS not-accessible > STATUS current > INDEX { ipAddressAddrType, ipAddressAddr } > DESCRIPTION "An address mapping for a particular interface." > ::= { iso(1) org(3) dod(6) internet(1) mgmt(2) mib-2(1) ip(4) ipAddressTable(34) 1 } `iso.3.6.1.2.1.4.34.1.3` from above is a result from the `ipAddressIfIndex` column (column no. 3). The row index is given as `.1.10.0.2.49.143`. The `.1` indicates an address type of IPv4, which according to spec should occupy 4 octets. However, the remaining row index contains 5 octets - An invalid IPv4 address: `10.0.2.49.143`. This is the type definition: > InetAddressIPv4 ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION > DISPLAY-HINT "1d.1d.1d.1d" > STATUS current > DESCRIPTION > "Represents an IPv4 network address: > > Octets Contents Encoding > 1-4 IPv4 address network-byte order > > The corresponding InetAddressType value is ipv4(1). > > This textual convention SHOULD NOT be used directly in object > definitions, as it restricts addresses to a specific format. > However, if it is used, it MAY be used either on its own or in > conjunction with InetAddressType, as a pair." > SYNTAX OCTET STRING (SIZE (4)) This response perfectly explains the warning/error given by ipdevpoll: > device has strange SNMP implementation of IP-MIB; ignoring retrieved IP > address data: IPv4 address length is not 4: OID('.1.10.0.2.49.143') It seems to me like the Fortigate device appends an actual `ifIndex` value (143, in this case) to all the IP addresses, and is therefore in violation of the MIB definition. We could potentially work around this in NAV by ignoring the extra data and just interpret the first four octets, but this might cause problems with other devices that have faulty IP-MIB implementations, or it could cause potential problems if the same IP address appears multiple times with different ifIndex values attached to it. I would at the very least report this as a bug to Fortigate. -- Sincerely, Morten Brekkevold Sikt – Norwegian Agency for Shared Services in Education and Research

Do you have the NET-SNMP command line tools and basic MIBs available on your system? Might be interesting to get a raw view of that the device presents, using something like these two commands: snmptable -v2c <community> <fortigate-ip-addr> IP-MIB::ipAddrTable snmptable -v2c <community> <fortigate-ip-addr> IP-MIB::ipAddressTable -- Sincerely, Morten Brekkevold Sikt – Norwegian Agency for Shared Services in Education and Research

Fortigate firewall
by Biselx Nicolas 02 Jan '23

Hi, We have a Fortigate firewall that I introduced with the GW category (routers layer 3 device), all information seems ok according to the capture. But when I look at the tools > watchdog there is a problem with the routing interfaces not being recognized ? It's a same with GSW Is there a solution to fix this? Regards, Nicolas

Correcting NAV topology after a physical reconfiguration
by tom.daae＠lom.kommune.no 21 Des '22

21 Des '22

Hi, I'm a new user of NAV and have found it to be a very useful tool. Among other things, it has helped us discover and plan improvements to our network topology. After implementing said improvements however, I find myself in a bit of a predicament. Two of my switches were previously connected via a link (in practice a daisy-chain), which is no longer physically present. NAV, of course, does not know the difference between a link that is temporarily down and one that is never coming back up, so the link remains in our netmap. I have not found a way of removing this link from NAV, short of deleting and re-registering the switches on either end of the link. This would of course mean losing a lot of traffic stats, so I'm wondering if there is any way to tell NAV do forget this specific link? Am I just misunderstanding something fundamental here?

Any documentation about contrib/isc_dhpcd_graphite.py ?
by Ingeborg Hellemo 21 Nov '22

FreeBSD 12.3 python38-3.8.15 isc-dhcp44-server-4.4.3P1 dhcpd-pools-3.1 I try to use isc_dhpcd_graphite.py but stumble quite early: ./isc_dhpcd_graphite.py -n <graphiteserver> Traceback (most recent call last): File "/root/bin/isc_dhpcd_graphite.py", line 205, in <module> main() File "/root/bin/isc_dhpcd_graphite.py", line 194, in main output = render(jsonblob, args.actual_prefix, args.protocol) File "/root/bin/isc_dhpcd_graphite.py", line 134, in render return _render_text(jsonblob, prefix) File "/root/bin/isc_dhpcd_graphite.py", line 139, in _render_text input = _tuplify(jsonblob, prefix) File "/root/bin/isc_dhpcd_graphite.py", line 163, in _tuplify vlan = _clean_vlan(vlan_stat["location"]) File "/root/bin/isc_dhpcd_graphite.py", line 173, in _clean_vlan return regex.group() AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'group' Where to begin debugging? Any flags to dhcpd-pools that are implicit to Linux and I am missing? If I get this to work, examples of how to display the results via NAV are welcome. --Ingeborg -- Ingeborg Østrem Hellemo -- ingeborg.hellemo(a)uit.no Dep. of Information Technology --- Univ. of Tromsø
