End Device Tracking Add-On for Cacti

[TheWitness]

If you have a device that has 48 user ports, but reports 52, say with a Cisco 3750, and you wish to ignore ports 49-52, you would specify a low port of 1 and high port of 48.

Greetings!

I have been trying to determine where I can get the latest version of the addon (mactrac). Is it an addon? I'm so confused! I was also unable to find any documentation and on that end I'm volunteering to cook up a howto to get it running ( I'll even maintain it)

Are there any instructions/documents available? Cacti is running beautifully and I would really like to get mactrac functioning as well
Thanks!

Hi,

just found an entry in the mac-table:
2 identic entries, only the ip-desc is not the same. It would be nice if cacti recognices the entry with the missing IP and replaces this entry with the one having an IP-address.

hello

i am doing test with one switch (sw2 : 192.168.0.108 / hp procurve 2524) and one router (r1 : 172.22.1.1 / cisco 2611)

(my switch is not on the same subnet than workstations so that users can't touch it...)
(my cacti box as 2 ip : 172.22.0.195 and 192.168.0.254)

mac_track doesn't work...


what i have in mac_track_temp_ports is :
site_id device_id hostname description vlan_id vlan_name mac_address ip_address port_number port_name scan_date
2 2 192.168.0.108 sw2 N/A N/A 00:50:DA:59:B7:0A 15 N/A 2005-12-13 16:09:11
2 2 192.168.0.108 sw2 N/A N/A 00:60:B0:00:E8:CE 24 N/A 2005-12-13 16:09:11
...

what i have in mac_track_ips :
site_id device_id hostname description port_number mac_address ip_address scan_date
2 2 192.168.0.108 sw2 29 NOT USER 192.168.0.254 2005-12-13 14:20:54

2 3 172.22.1.1 r1 1 NOT USER 172.22.0.73 2005-12-13 14:20:54
...


why NOT USER ??


thanks for your help.

Guiles,

The reason for NOT user is that the ARP table of whatever router you are polling is returning a zero length string for the MAC address. Please keep in mind, from a site perspective, you need to have the router who is acting as the access router for the site added for that site. If it's a third party such as AT&T, they will need to provide you access to both the System MIB and the AT MIB.

Torsten,

What can happen is the following:

1) Arp Expired on Router Clearing Cache After Switch had been scanned, but before router had been scanned.
2) Your router did not respond to the SNMP query
3) Your router snmp query timed out.

Larry,

I am about to start testing the mac track. I have noticed several files over the course of the past few weeks. Do I apply them in sequence to the beta of 0.8.6h?

Willie

Sorry if I missed this, but is there a way to run the mac-tracker manually from the command line for testing purposes?
