Yeah, they appear to be correct. I'm collecting data from all of them now. No errors when running the poller manually.

So...I guess my only problem(s) now are that the previous version had the search option and all of that, this tab doesn't provide any of that - or a list of MACs.

So the search and everything is missing? That sounds more like its not finding the /plugins/mactrack/html/ files. You may want to double check those are correct. Just as a safety check, I will make the includes use the full path to these instead of the relative. The mactrack_view.php has been updated to handle this, but just to alleviate any issues, you may want to completely override your mactrack install with all the new files.

Excellent - it not only works but I see that it has been improved! Nice...

So now I'm just back to the old 4006 issue.

Tell me, since I don't think I fully understand it, what ports should I be excluding from the various switches?

We have the big 6500 series switch (which is working in mactrack) and off of it we have the floor 4006 switches (which aren't working) and off of the floor switches we may or may not have one or two more switches. I only have one of the 4006 switches in mactrack right now and its not showing up but it and the two switches hanging off of it do show up in the "devices" window, as do its ports.

Now I'm wondering about the cron job - since I have it runnign from the system crontab, with the full path... well, what's the -f option do (force, I presume) and what does it do differently than when the poller is ran from cron (whcih following the original example does not include the -f)?

Actually, if you are running the plugin version, you do not need a seperate cron job, as it launches itself automatically after the Cacti cron job runs (piggy back style). The -f option is for testing only, as it forces the scan to run, even if its not time yet. Can you run the scanner on the 4006 manually and show us the output. And by that I mean

Code: Select all

php -q /path/to/cacti/plugins/mactrack/mactrack_scanner.php -f -d -id=???

ofcourse replace the path with the full path, and ??? with the Device ID (you can get it from the link to the device on the device page.) I believe Larry is already working on this issue, but any extra info he gets could help out.

So it runs every 5 minutes (time configured for regular cacti poller) for the time period set in it's settings page?

When is the scanner run normally, during device setup or just for debugging? Response is thus:

Hi, I haven't checked for a couple of weeks. Is the latest plugin version still listed as v0.1b? Is the latest version the one that is posted on http://cactiusers.org/downloads/?

Thanks

Hello,

i activated the DNS rev lookup and found in a DNS debug that mactrack is making lookups for all columns, MAC, IP, VLAN-ID and so on. Feature or bug?

Larry,

Do you know how to specify the trunk port on a Cabletron Mac 8 hub? It uses an EMM-E6 card.

Regards,

Willie

Post by **TheWitness** » Wed Jan 11, 2006 3:07 pm

Willie,

Right now, I am re-evaluating how I determine Link/Trunk ports. More to follow.

Post by **TheWitness** » Wed Jan 11, 2006 3:08 pm

knobdy,

Are those 4006 swiches carrying IP phones. The reason I ask is "ports_trunk=130". That number seem's high and is likely the issue you are having.

Larry

It was, but not any longer. The configuration of all the switches on that floor is pretty hokey... Every port is configured:

set vlan 10 2/1-48
set port auxiliaryvlan 2/45 6
set port speed 2/1-11,2/13-48 100
set port duplex 2/1-11,2/13-48 full
set trunk 2/45 off dot1q 1-1005
set spantree portfast 2/1-48 enable
set spantree portvlancost 2/45 cost 99
set port channel 2/1-48 mode off

I haven't worked with IP telephony, trunking of vlans, or even CatOS, enough to know what I need and don't need for sure. Let me run it against our other 4006 and see what you think:

This doesn't appear to be working for me. It only updates when I run it manually with the -f option. I commented it out of cron as well, but nothing...?

Please change your start time and try again.

Did that - though I had changed it after removing it from cron with no help. Will know if it helped this time in 9 minutes.

{update}
No change - last update was still the last time I ran it manually. It's supposed to kick off with the cacti poller correct? I have it configured for every 2 hours starting, now, at 1:00pm - nothing happened though.

Back to the 4006 though, I noticed that at the top of the device page was:

{argghh... looked it up at Cisco...now I really don't understand}
I tried an SNMP walk with that OID and it gave

I have just downloaded and installed the mactrack plugin as I have several others, but I do not ever see the mactrack tab appear on top.

The Device Tracking settings for the plugin appear under the Console settings, but the tab never appears.

To setup, I downloaded the tar.gz archive (version 0.1b) from http://cactiusers.org/downloads/?.

Extracted the archive to:
/var/www/localhost/htdocs/cacti/plugins/mactrack/

And added the following line to:
/var/www/localhost/htdocs/cacti/include/config.php

$plugins[] = 'mactrack';

I am using Cacti 0.8.6h with the plugin architecture installed (and running the monitor and thold plugins with no problem).

Am I missing something somewhere? I've checked all over and I saw where one other person had a similar problem but I didn't see the resolution.

Thanks!
