Howdy Folks,
I have a 2811 fitted with an NME-16ES-1G ether switch module and I would like to manage it using LMS 2.6.
I require the module be managed by a specific IP address, namely the IP address associated with VLAN 1.
The problem is that whenever the switch module responds to polls from CiscoWorks, it responds with the interface IP address closest to the CiscoWorks server ... which in this case is the IP associated with the internal interface GigabitEthernet1/0/2.
Sample config below:
<snip>
!
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/1
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk allowed vlan 1
switchport mode trunk
!
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/2
no switchport
ip address 192.168.201.254 255.255.255.252
!
interface Vlan1
ip address 192.168.9.1 255.255.255.0
!
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 GigabitEthernet1/0/2
ip route 192.168.9.2 255.255.255.255 GigabitEthernet1/0/2
!
<snip>
So at the moment the module responds using IP 192.168.201.254, where as I require it to respond with 192.168.9.1.
Is it possible to set the source IP address of this switch?
I can find nothing that tells me so ...
Many thanks in advance

This sounds like a bug. If you poll the switch as 192.168.9.1, it should respond from 192.168.1.9. Do you have a sniffer trace showing the conversation between LMS and this module?

Hi thanks for the response.
Unfortunately I do not have a trace at this stage and I am making an assumption here about the switching module responding with the IP of the interface closest to the LMS, but this is the only thing that makes sense.
The LMS is successfully managing other Cisco devices connected to the 192.168.9.0/24 VLAN via the EtherSwitch module.
I can attempt to get a trace but it won't happen for a little while as this issue exists on a customer's private network ...
thanks again,
paul

Dear Paul;
Please use snmp-server trap-source {interface} - to specify the source interface for SNMP Traps.
e.g: (config) snmp-server trap-source F0/0
Regards;

Hello Ahmed,
Thanks for the response. I have this already as part of the configuration;
!
snmp-server trap-source Vlan1
where:
!
interface Vlan1
ip address 192.168.9.1 255.255.255.0
I figured that SNMP traps being generated by this device would be using this address ok but am not sure which address is being used when responding to queries from the LMS.
The device appears red and uncontactable in CiscoView ...

I haven't seen your switch's SNMP configuration, and I doubt that you're seeing the switch reply with a different IP (we should have taken care o those bugs a long time ago). The trace and a show run would really be the best thing for troubleshooting this.
If this information is too sensitive to post to an open forum, then please open a TAC service request.
