Hi - i'm having two problems, which i suspect are related. I have just installed nav (debian package, version 2+3.0rc1-3) and set it up according to the docs. I have added our router and a few of our switches to the database but when i visit the traffic map, all i see is the router. Ditto for the network explorer. What exactly is required for devices to show up? I then noticed that it wasn't picking up the vlans correctly when i looked in reports. They're all set to blank. I've added one router which is a cisco 7204vxr, one cisco 2900 switch and one dell Powerconnect 5224 switch. Based on previous posts, i looked in the swport table in the manage database and can confirm that it has picked up the correct vlans from one of our switches at least. getBoksMacs.log contains lines like these: Oct 13 16:10:03 2005 getBoksData_01 QUERY_NETBOX-6-MAC_ENTRY Missing swportid for ifindex 25 on boks: cisco0 Oct 13 16:10:03 2005 getBoksData_01 QUERY_NETBOX-6-MAC_ENTRY Querying vlan: 1, MACs: 56 Mappings: 22 Blocked: 0 / 1 Oct 13 16:10:03 2005 getBoksData_01 QUERY_NETBOX-6-MAC_ENTRY Fetching vlan: 2 It has lines like that for all of our vlans. I'm more than willing to dig through logs and show you anything relevant. I really like the look of nav and want to be able to use it properly. Anything you can do to help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, John Allman

hello, i have just installed NAV 3.0 and whats steps are there to use the machine tracker?

I am not sure where you are in the post-install process; but you need to seed the NAV database, of course. More info on http://metanav.ntnu.no/moin.cgi/SeedEssentials After you have given necessary seed info on your routers and switches, gDD (getDeviceData) will start to collect information from the devices. The arp logger and cam logger will in turn collect and store arp and cam data. With this in place you can use the machine tracker to track live and historical data regarding an ip address and in turn (or directly) a mac address. Hope this answers your question. best regards - Vidar
