MacTrack installed, nothing happen

[copo]

My current setup is Cacti 0.86j/PIA/MacTrack 1.1/PHP5.2.9/MySQL 5.1.35.

I have imported the mactrack.sql and mactrack.sql.0.0.1 and also do the database_upgrade.php, I can use the interface of mactrack admin, add devices and site, But the installation seems not working at all.

I have added a device which is currently monitoring nicely by Cacti using the same IP address and SNMP community, but it either show "Error" or "Down" in the device list view.

I then try to use mactrack_scanner.php to check the added device, it give me the following, either timeout or strange response:

Code: Select all

[mrtg@fractal mactrack]$ php mactrack_scanner.php -d -id=1
Timeout: No Response from 172.24.10.55:.

[mrtg@fractal mactrack]$ php mactrack_scanner.php -d -id=1
Timeout: No Response from 172.24.10.55:.

I have also tried "php poller_mactrack.php -d" but it do not have any output.

Is there anything I'm missing? I'm sure the SNMP polling to the device is working since Cacti is polling such device for traffic statistics.

Any hint will be appreciated, thanks!!

Device Type Not Found in Device Type Table is the key part of the message. Click on the device type link under device tracking and add a device type for your device

Also, snmp timeouts are not good. Sounds like multiple issues.

Looks like I'm on running MacTrack on an old version of Cacti (0.8.6j) which is not supported. I have upgraded my Cacti to 0.8.7e and it is now up and running. Though I will still need to figure out how it works. Thanks.

One of these day's, I'll write complete documentation. Bottom line, you need to define sites. Each site requires at least 1 Layer3 devices. The rest can be layer 2.

Some devices are not very well supported. However, Cisco devices work just fine. Little Caveat's exist for Layer3 devices that don't support an ARP table. So, you have to come up with creative ways to get the ARP table from those types of devices (ssh for example).
