RE: NAV on FreeBSD (was: Services)

Superb. I have a 7.x machine that I'll give this a run on today. The production machine that I'm currently trying to get it running on is a 6.x machine though. :-( Factors outside of my control require that it remains a 6.x machine at present.

Re: Problem with NAV 3.3.3 Machine Tracker

Using telnet access to the switch I can see the ARP table (mapping > MAC-IP), so I thought that NAV uses this information for mapping IP->MAC. The switch's ARP cache will only contain entries for addresses that are communicating directly with the switch on layer 3 (i.e. your workstation telnetting to the switch CLI). This information is mostly useless - NAV will only collect ARP caches from routers, which provides us with every active, routed IP address in your network (assuming you're using NAV to monitor all the routers in your network). > So, I need at least one router to search IP->MAC, and once I have the MAC I can > search is Switch/Module/Interface location. Correct :-) -- mvh Morten Brekkevold UNINETT P.S. I'm assuming you accidentally forgot to reply-to-all, so I'm Cc'ing the nav-users list.

Problem with NAV 3.3.3 Machine Tracker
by Helder Vieira Mendes 17 Apr '08

17 Apr '08

Hello, Helder Mendes from ISEP. I am using NAV 3.3.3 in Debian 4.0, but the Machine Tracker is not working well because if I do MAC Search NAV return´s the IP in the correct door / switch (by ARP table search), but if I search by IP does not return the MAC, does not return any thing ... The ARP tables are the same it should work ... Thanks for helpping. Helder Mendes, ISEP / IPP

Migration from Subversion to Mercurial
by Morten Brekkevold 09 Apr '08

09 Apr '08

Hello everyone, Those of you who subscribe to the nav-dev list will already know that last week we migrated from Subversion to Mercurial as our version control software. Each official development branch now has its own repository at http://metanav.uninett.no/hg/ . The development branch named "default" represents what we called trunk in Subversion. If you have been using Subversion to get the latest development version, you should now use Mercurial, and clone the repository at http://metanav.uninett.no/hg/default/ . For more information about Mercurial, please see http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/ . Those of you who monitor NAV commit logs by subscribing to the nav-commit mailing list should now subscribe to the individual RSS or Atom feeds of the branch repositories at http://metanav.uninett.no/hg/ - the nav-commit mailing list will soon be taken offline. Have a great day! -- mvh Morten Brekkevold UNINETT

Announcement: NAV 3.3.3 released
by Morten Brekkevold 28 Mar '08

28 Mar '08

NAV 3.3.3 is now available for download at SourceForge, see http://sourceforge.net/projects/nav :-) This is a bugfix release, the list of bugs fixed can be found in the attached changelog. The bugfixes require manual intervention, as there are two database trigger fixes, and a need to edit Cricket config. I've attached the relevant parts of the release notes to this announcement. If upgrading from other versions than 3.3.2, please refer to the complete release notes on Sourceforge or in the tarball. Binary packages for Debian will be available soon. The Debian package is maintained by Morten Werner Forsbring, on commission from UNINETT. -- mvh Morten Brekkevold UNINETT Upgrading from NAV 3.3.2 and earlier ==================================== NAV 3.3.2 and earlier had some serious bugs in database triggers, which would munge historic CAM and ARP data when IP devices or prefixes were deleted. To fix these bugs on upgrading to this version, you *must* remember to run the SQL script doc/sql/upgrade/3.3.0.sql (unless an automated package installer already did this for you). See doc/sql/README for more info on running SQL scripts. A bug in makecricketconfig would cause 32-bit traffic counters to be used for some non-Cisco devices, such as Juniper routers and switches. This would lead to serious errors in traffic graphs for interfaces with traffic over 500Mbit/s on these devices. The fixed makecricketconfig in NAV 3.3.3 also requires you to add the following three lines to the Defaults file in your top-level cricket configuration directory: targetType subv2-interface ds = "ifHCInOctets, ifHCOutOctets" view = "Octets: ifHCInOctets ifHCOutOctets" Upgrading from NAV 3.3.2 and earlier ==================================== NAV 3.3.2 and earlier had some serious bugs in database triggers, which would munge historic CAM and ARP data when IP devices or prefixes were deleted.

While I've never seen this one before, a quick Google search turned up this: http://www.dscpl.com.au/wiki/ModPython/Articles/IssuesWithSessionObjects Apparently, the module import mechanism has been changed in newer versions of mod_python (such as 3.3, which is present on Ubuntu 7.10). The way in which the status page stores each user's status page preferences will evidently no longer work under mod_python, and that's why you're seeing this error :-( Our dev server still has mod_python 3.2, and we've not seen this issue there, so it apparently occurs only on mod_python 3.3 and newer. Unfortunately, I have no certain quick fix for you. I will have to figure out whether this can be worked around, or whether we need to rewrite the way in which the Status page stores preferences. I'll see if I can get my hands on mod_python 3.3 to reproduce the error. You may however be able to workaround this issue if you can downgrade your mod_python version to 3.2. It is likely that the mod_python package from Ubuntu 7.04 (feisty) is still compatible with 7.10 (gutsy) and can be installed. If you are able to do this, you may also need to purge the stored status preferences from the NAV database. That can be accomplished by running 'psql navprofiles nav', using the database password from /usr/local/nav/etc/db.conf, and then running the following SQL statement: DELETE FROM accountproperty WHERE property='statusprefs'; -- mvh Morten Brekkevold UNINETT

Assuming you installed NAV from source, the easiest way to fix this is to create some symlinks to the needed libraries in Tomcat's library directory: cd /var/lib/tomcat5.5/shared/lib ln -s /usr/local/nav/lib/java/ConfigParser.jar . ln -s /usr/local/nav/lib/java/Database.jar . ln -s /usr/local/nav/lib/java/Util.jar . ln -s /usr/share/java/postgresql.jar -- mvh Morten Brekkevold UNINETT
