Do I have to download it out of SVN (one file at a time) or do you have it packaged somewhere (mactrack plugin I mean)?

The packaged version I had wasn't actually suppose to be there, I was using my file download script to transfer the files from home to work, and forgot to disable it after transferring.

I will attach the latest SVN version until we can get anonymous SVN access kicking for this.

EDIT: Attachment removed since its out of date.

We need to place the newer snmp.php file in the /lib directory off the root of cacti rather than the /lib off the root of the plugin correct?

I appreciate this, if I have to download it from the web I either have to VNC into the box or do it at my workstation and ftp it....not much fun! :)

I've reinstalled the plugin architecture and the updated mactrack plugin. I the searched the poller.php file again for a mention of mactrack, but still didn't find anything.

A diff between the one I unzipped and the one that is installed shows no differences. I must still be confused...

Also of note, with the new mactrack code I'm getting data back from the 4006s again, but on the one I'm still only getting back one blade - and still nothing from the 4000 or switches hanging off of those 4006s.

You will not see any meantion of mactrack, search for

Code: Select all

do_hook("poller_bottom");
as that is the hook that calls it. The plugin architecture doesn't point to any specific plugin, it allows plugins to register with it in real time.

Okay, well this is what was throwing me off - because I didn't see that in any of the versions I had. It's 1:20 now and I have it set to run at 2...we'll see.

I've also gone back and configured all of the devices for v2 - maybe that'll help, if not, I'll move them all to 1 and see what happens....tomorrow.

{UPDATE} It ran! :) WIth v2 the 4006s definately do not want to give anything up, but I did manage to get a couple of MACs from the other side of them. For the next run I'll just change them to v1 and see what happens.


I must say I like the different views. Unfortunate that the attached one doesn't reflect our need for ports.

mactrac_view / Bug with Mac Track Results Filtering

Post by pepj »

Hello

In mactrac_view "Mac Track Results Filtering" the filter doesn't function perfectly:
+ I 've tried "IP Begin with". As you can see in the picture 1 it is the function "contains"
+ I 've tried "Contains". As you can see in the picture 2 it is empty.
+ but "contains" with a whole IP address gives a result like "matches" see picture3

I am using mactrac with plugin from 17/01/2006


Problem has been solved in the next released ...
I have to remove the picture because I have reached the limitation for the post...

TheWitness,

Here is the output of mactrack_scanner for one of my 4006 switches. It is currently only showing MACs for one blade. The output begs the question, what makes an active "user port"?

pepj,

That looks like a codering issue with Mr. Cigamit. It works perfectly on my integrated version. It's likely an issue with the plugin version of the config_arrays.php hook. Cigamit is monitoring this post, he will know what to do.

knobdy,

Please run a full snmpbulkwalk of the OID's. Please verify that you have the correct Cisco MIB's loaded.

The command's will be:

Set Environment Variables
set mibs=all
set mibdirs="/your/mib's/directories"

Commands to Run
snmpbulkwalk -v 2c -c <your_com> <your_ip> .1.3.6.1.4.1.9 > outfile_non_numeric_oids.txt
snmpbulkwalk -v 2c -c -On <your_com> <your_ip> .1.3.6.1.4.1.9 > outfile_numeric_oids.txt

If you don't have the Cisco MIBS, goto the following site and get the bulk of them:

http://www.oidview.com/mibs/detail.html

To get the entire suite of Cisco Mibs, use the following:

http://www.oidview.com/mibs/9/asn1-9.zip

I will need both files. Email might be the best medium. I am assuming that the reason you have 131 trunks is because of IP Phones. Is this correct?

I have noticed that same problem. I have been using the "Contains" to find an exact match and "Begins With" to find a partial.

knobdy,

It also looks as though I am not storing VLAN's correctly into the Devices table.

EDIT: Looks like I have IP addressed where VLAN's should be :oops: What do you expect for free...

Hi,

is the table mac_track_ips used in the new mactrack? At my installation mac_track_ips has no entries.
