Hi,

The module specific im using is CDP only. From the seed devices, I have added 2 more switches using smnp community string xxx rw. I do have "use DCR as seed list" tick.

I have the SNMP credentials correct config as per above.

Under the device discovery summary, i get unreachable devices on all seeds including the existing devices in the DCR and debug on the switch is not showing any snmp request/packets/session while running discovery.

BTW, im using the evaluation version of LMS 3.0.1 and i have 2+ months left as this is a trial if the application is any good.

Please post the CSDiscovery.log.

Hi,

Thanks for your help with this jclarke. As per requested, I have attached the log.

Please post the ngdiscovery.log and the NMSROOT/conf/csdiscovery/CSDiscovery-config.xml.

Hi,

Here are the files you've requested.

BTW, I have change the SNMP to V3 for testing, and I'm still not getting any success with device discovery.

SNMP settings is identical to all the other devices currently in LMS, which worked at the start.

I may be doing something wrong, here is the step I take for device discovery:

- config snmp on device IOS

- add seed to device discovery in CM

- setup snmp credentials (both v2 and v3) CM

- start discovery CM

- CWA server setup

- add device

- add devices to LMS apps

The fact that you are using CWA could be the problem. There is a known bug that starting Discovery through CWA causes database connections to leak. Try this. Shutdown dmgtd. Clear out the CSDiscovery.log and ngdiscovery.log files. Restart dmgtd. DO NOT use CWA. Instead, go to Common Services > Device Discovery, and start a discovery from there.

Thanks again jclarke. I will follow the steps you stated and will update this thread.

Hi,

This is what I got from the Device Discovery:

----------------------------------------------

log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (CTM.common).

log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.

2008/07/14 10:06:30 SnmpSocketManager: Shutting down all SNMP sockets.

Io error while closing SnmpSocket : Cannot assign requested address: Datagram send failed

----------------------------------------------

I'm still getting Unreachable Devices for all DCR.

This doesn't indicate a problem. What about in the ngdiscovery.log?

Nothing on the ngdiscovery.log. I must have miss something. Ive decided to rebuild the server from scratch using the other RAID1 harddrive which only has WIN2k3 SP2 and LMS 3.0.1.

So far this is a blank system with no configs.

I will do the following:

-Load seeds using txt file with all the host IP Address.

-Use CDP and configure SNMP default credentials

-Apply SNMP on the host listed on the seed list

-Run Device Discovery

Please confirm if this is correct?

If successful, I should see the list of seed device on, say Chassis View under CiscoView as a start.

Make sure you also configure the SNMP credentials in Discovery, and DO NOT run Discovery from CWA. This should be fine.

Hi jclarke,

I think I've found the problem previously on this thread where LMS cannot contact the device via CDP SNMP. I've configure both SNMP v2 and v3 on the Discovery Settings. I think user are suppose to be running one at a time. Once I remove SNMP v3 and only configure SNMP v2 on both LMS server and Cisco device, the Discovery results to reachable.

Please confirm if this LMS standard?

Thanks
