Yes.

It appears that our bugfix for problems with hexstring serial numbers on
some Cisco devices introduced a new, similar bug.  Some devices also
return integer values for serial numbers instead of strings - attempting
to encode an integer object as if it were a string will fail miserably,
as in your case.
I've just committed a fix for this to the repository (r3785).  We're
expecting to release NAV 3.2 within a few weeks, so I don't think you
will see this in a bugfix release before that.
Several others have reported this problem, and a workaround has been
suggested:  Use bulk import to insert the devices that cause this error
- the serial numbers are not retrieved and checked in this manner during
a bulk import.

Subject: [Nav-users] Problem with HP 9304m & vlan
Message-ID: 200701081206.48961.barbieri.marco@unimore.it

Hi all,
i'm trying to use NAV 3.1.1 in my environment, my main problem seems to be 
that my network in mainly based on HP router/switches: 9304m (foundry/hp), 
procurve 5304, 5308, 2824 etc.. and a couple of cisco.
I don't have cdp active on any machine, the net is ospf based and snmp 
enabled.

The Cisco machines are fully understood, i can see the vlans that are there 
defined, counters and so on, everything is fine.

Some HP machines are understood too or a sort of mainly Procurve family 25xx e 
53xx even if i can't see the vlans that are defined on those router/switches.

Hp/Foundry 9304m is the worst understood: non only it doesn't show any defined 
vlan but it doesn't show the expansions slots that are fitted in the chassis.
Obviously these are my main router/switches. :)

I've tried to see if there where a problem related to OIDs for this machine, 
but the one that NAV proposes when i add the machine is the same i get 
executing the snmpwalk query that's in the Online Help.

I would like to know what i can do now, what infos you may need to understand 
what's foing on and if there's something i can test/post etc.

Hope to here from you soon.

Marco Barbieri.

P.S.: btw, it looks like a great tool ;-)

Hi All,
I just installed Nav v3 beta on a Freebsd 6.2 from ports.  
Installation went without any major problems and after playing with  
apache config I was able to see the index page.
however, after clicking on Login, I got the following:

<body onLoad="document.getElementById('username').focus();">
<table height=40% border=0 width=100%><tr valign=middle><td  
valign=middle align=center>

<br><br><br>
<font face=verdana size=1>
<form method="POST" action="/index/login">
<img src="/images/login/navlogo.gif"><br>
<br><input id="username" type="text" name="login" style="border: 1px  
solid #99c;"><br><font color=#6699CC>username</font>
<br><input type="password" name="password" style="border: 1px solid  
#99c;"><br><font color=#6699CC>password</font>
<input type="hidden" name="origin" value="">
<br><br><input type="submit" value="Log in">
</form>
</font>
</td></tr></table>
</body>

The url changed from /index/index to /index/login

How do I fix it?
Nav is the only website on that machine so DocumentRoot  is set  to "/ 
usr/local/nav/apache/webroot/"

Thanks,
Peter

Please update your FreeBSD ports !

On 2007/01/15 the nav port was updated to Nav-3.1.0, soon you will
also see the port updated to version 3.1.1 and/or 3.2.

Get error when adding IP device "Gw router - layer 3 device"

I too am getting this error and so I tried to do the bulk add and get the
following.

      HYPERLINK "https://goozzy.ctcweb.net/images/lys/yellow.png"  
    2  
    McCall Closet:66.232.X.X:CTC:GW:ro:*******  
    RO given, but failed to contact IP device by SNMP (IP devices of
this category are required to answer).  

      HYPERLINK "https://goozzy.ctcweb.net/images/lys/yellow.png"  
    3  
    CAM CO:66.232.X.X:CTC:GW:ro:******* 
    RO given, but failed to contact IP device by SNMP (IP devices of
this category are required to answer).  	

My NAV box has a 10.7.x.x addy behind an Astaro Linux firewall and that is
doing the NAT translation.  I have used Zenoss in this same network setup
and not had a problem with SNMP but I found it too hard to configure so am
trying NAV.  I even tried opening up all ports so no traffic coming back
would be blocked.

I see the SNMP traffic leave my NAV box and go across through the firewall.

I can telnet from my NAV box to the router.  I can do a snmpwalk to that
router from the NAV box so I know it can see it and get SNMP traffic back
through the firewall.

I followed the instructions for installation on HYPERLINK
"http://metanav.ntnu.no/moin.cgi/InstallingOnRHEL4%22http://metanav.ntnu.no/m...
in.cgi/InstallingOnRHEL4 - VERY NICE BTW!

It would be nice to be able to add devices with the autodiscovery but I am
not sure it would work since I don't seem to be getting SNMP response from
the routers.  They were sending it to Zenoss so I am really confused.

Thanks for any help I can get on overcoming this issue.
