Report info for HP device

keeusa

I'm working on reports to pull back arp and cdp neighbor info from HP core device. Has anyone done this or have any guidance to make these work?

Hi keeusa,

The HP.Switch.2500 device type in CatTools already has support for an ARP report. (Report.ARP table).

Have you tried using this device type with your HP?

With regards to the CDP Neighbors report, this currently is unsupported. I'd therefore recommend opening a support ticket and see about getting this added as a feature request.

My Report is working but it is only pulling certain ports, looks like I get all of my servers and a couple laptops but I agerage interogating 4 ports per switch consistenly the same ports, are there any limitations for the 2500 Device Type?

Thanks

Hi Dana,

Can you verify please which report you are referring to here?

The ARP Report

Spartacus

Dana,

The CatTools ARP table report simply issues a 'show arp' command and then parses the results.

Can you check the 'show arp' output with a manual telnet/ssh session to the device, and compare it to the data shown in the CatTools ARP report.

If you find there is a difference in the data, then please raise a support ticket as this will need to be looked into and we will need to get some device captures from you.

Thanks,

Steve

IC, I was hoping it would interrogate all ports so that we would have a complete report.

Thanks

Spartacus

Could you expand on what you are trying to achieve and I'll see if I can come up with some suggestions for you.

Thanks for the reply...

If I go to the switch and ping an IP I can get it to show up in ARP, in Cat Tools, it may show up but it certainly isn't instant, I was hoping that the report could do something like interrogating each port, as I said i ping would work so that the APRP would would be a complete report with port my port representation.

Thanks

You could try one or both of the following:

- In the first tab of the ARP report activity, uncheck the 'Overwrite existing report' option to build up a master report over time (so it captures the IP's over a period of time).

- Use the Device.Interdevice.Ping activity http://www.kiwisyslog.com/help/cattools/act_devinterdeviceping.htm and ping from a list of IPs from a single device?

Setup this activity to run before your ARP activity (within the ARP TTL limits) and you should see the IP's then in your CatTools ARP report.

Please post back if this works.
