I've got mactrack polling devices, and seeing the active ports.. it's just not finding mac addresses, or more than a handful of ip's.

We run Cat 6509 with two MFC rtr blades as core, and C3550's for LAN switching. Multiple VLAN on each switch, for breaking up VoIP (200), printer (4), Desktop (10) traffic for traffic mgt and QOS.

The only switch that sees MAC addresses is the first of our LAN switches, and it's seeing all of the other switches cascaded via the Gig0/0 and Gig0/1 ports.

Is there any IOS commands I should be looking to add to my standard switch config to enable this VERY useful feature.

Oh, and just checked the next page.. the C6509 itself sees three active MACs, 3 servers that are directly connected to it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated..

Steve

*blush*

I'd had to add a few specific 3500's and Rtr blades to match our environment, and.. oops.. had accidentally left the device specific polling to cabletron, instead of IOS.....

Re-running it now and there's LOTS of mac addresses..

*blush*

Workstation tracking?

Post by vedd99 »

Would it be possible to track workstations (PCs) for serial numbers, processor, ram, os type, version, etc in mactrack?

Hello, cigamit
the post was a few days ago, so maybe there is another newer version in the SVN, could you do me a favor to tell me, how to grab the lastest version from SVN?
I really want to install this plugin in our production enviroment.

Force10 E series

Has anyone tried on Force10 E-series?

TIA

It will work on a Force10 E300 600 or 1200 if you are using the default vlan. However, if you use something other than the default such as vlan 20 or something it will not. Instead of using the dot1 forward table it uses the dot1q forward table and the information is different and not formatted the same. I ran into this and used my own scripts to get the mac to port entries then populate the mactrack database

I still get the SQL failed error. Is it corrected, also in the plugin version ?

02/06/2006 10:52:00 AM - CMDPHP: Poller[0] ERROR: SQL Exec Failed "REPLACE INTO `mac_track_ip_ranges` (ip_range, site_id, ips_current, ips_current_date) VALUES (172.30.7,1,2,2006-02-06 10:49:45)"

PS: other little cosmetic error: After a search of a IP address, I have to
click on "clear"
in order to be able to search a MAC

Thanks

Interesting, unfortunately, I am out of town until Friday evening and will not have any time to put into Cacti until next week at the earliest.

fin51,

Thank you for your information. Unfortunately, there are some vlans :)
Now, I can't get the dot1qTpFdbAddress from my E300(FTOS6.2.1.3).
So, what about in your case? Which OID includes the dot1q mac table?

There seems to be no mac address information in the response for qBridgeMIB(1.3.6.1.2.1.17.7.***) query, in my environment.

-----------------
Q-BRIDGE-MIB::dot1qVlanVersionNumber.0 = INTEGER: version1(1)
Q-BRIDGE-MIB::dot1qMaxVlanId.0 = INTEGER: 4094
Q-BRIDGE-MIB::dot1qMaxSupportedVlans.0 = Gauge32: 4094
Q-BRIDGE-MIB::dot1qNumVlans.0 = Gauge32: 6
Q-BRIDGE-MIB::dot1qGvrpStatus.0 = INTEGER: enabled(1)
Q-BRIDGE-MIB::dot1qFdbDynamicCount.1 = Counter32: 0
Q-BRIDGE-MIB::dot1qFdbDynamicCount.20 = Counter32: 105
Q-BRIDGE-MIB::dot1qFdbDynamicCount.21 = Counter32: 34
Q-BRIDGE-MIB::dot1qFdbDynamicCount.22 = Counter32: 0
Q-BRIDGE-MIB::dot1qFdbDynamicCount.31 = Counter32: 0
Q-BRIDGE-MIB::dot1qFdbDynamicCount.255 = Counter32: 10
Q-BRIDGE-MIB::dot1qTpFdbPort.20.'...-..' = INTEGER: 1
Q-BRIDGE-MIB::dot1qTpFdbPort.20.'....y.' = INTEGER: 1
Q-BRIDGE-MIB::dot1qTpFdbPort.20.'......' = INTEGER: 18

Soba,

I had the same issue while scanning Cisco 1200 AP's. Everything else was as it should have been, but the MAC address MIB was not populated.

^

Just tested the new version:

Code: Select all

...
DEBUG: Waiting on 0 to complete prior to exiting.
DEBUG: Interum IP addresses to MAC addresses association pass complete.
DEBUG: Finished transferring scan results to main table.
DEBUG: Finished updating site table with collection statistics.
02/07/2006 01:13:04 PM - SYSTEM MACTRACK STATS: Time:1880.7787 ConcurrentProcesses:7 Devices:195 
Seems that IP-address lookup works.
- Still no domain-lookup
- still no device in the IP-Site-Report

OUCH! I updated my installation and, inadvertantly, cleaned out all of my mactrack data (sites, devices, everything).

I have a recent enough cacti dump - full database - to get the devices and sites and device types back... can anyone tell me how to go about that?

Obviously I don't want to overwrite the entire DB, the dump is less than two weeks old but I've made some changes since then in Cacti, in parts other than mactrack.
