I would prefer the option that it is not allowed and a warning is displayed saying you cannot do it.

One more thing. If my boss comes down the hall and wants a report of all Cisco routers within the Americas Region, but sub netted to five particular ranges, and I have 9 different policies applied to a report, I have to go into each individual policy and modify the node selection to achieve my desired report results. How…

I opened a support case. Worked with support 2 weeks. Moved the NCM database to a more powerful server so that the front end / application was segmented from the database, and that seemed to make NCM faster for queries, but still a 3 minute wait to just get to the summary page. Our ME folks over satellite links have all…

I reduced the scan times on subnets so that not as many subnets were in queue and seems to help. Jonathan

It would be nice if a user could initiate a scan request without having the give them power user status.

Have you really looked at what is downloaded with your template? I believe what is needed to perform a restore is "sh run-config commands" and not just "sh run-config".

Now that someone had the brilliant idea to make a "feature enhancement" and hide device passwords within NCM, is there a method to export those passwords without access to the DB? I am a SQL num num and prefer not to get our DBAs involved, so how can I find out what password NCM is utilizing to connect to a device?

That worked perfectly, thank you! Jonathan

Hi, thank you! When you mention event log, are you referring to Windows event viewer or a NCM event log? Jonathan

Hi, For example, I have a policy titled "AAA Policy" that is a global policy to be applied to every single Cisco device. Within that policy I have 9 rules. When there is a configuration violation, its a lot easier having your rules very granular so that someone reading the report knows exactly why that device is out of…

Hi, yes it is. But the screen displays 1.5. Jonathan

I'm beginning to think all this "I'll jot this down as a feature request" is just pillow talk. 

Hi, would that be within the report, the policy, or the rules? Jonathan

Hi and thank you for the response. Only issue is the time to modify properties one subnet at at time considering we have over 800 subnets/supernets. The goal is to have IPAM more efficient than using spreadsheets. Jonathan

Thanks Christine. I guess I am confused on the capabilities on the new config change template framework...

Any idea as to the cause of this? I opened a support ticket and nada so far.

Fantastic

I've broken the 10.0.0.0/8 into 256 individual scans comprising of 10.x.x.0/16's. If the Hop count is 0, the scan completes. Hop counts greater than 0, do not, most times. I attempted to scan 10.0.0.0/18, and that did not complete with Hop count greater than 0, either. This should be an easy feature request for SW.

Ok, embarrassing! I meant to post this in NCM..... :-)

So just to verify, Extensible Framework Scripting has been removed from 5.5.2? How can I *today* search for public addressed interfaces that do not contain the "no ip proxy-arp" command and also remediate?

I opened a support case and the response was make a feature request. Since NCM is able to log in and pull the basic config, but not the global F5 ARX config, can NCM not issue a custom copy command configured by me to pull the global config versus having to wait a year to several years for just the possibility a feature…

Thanks, but let's let support give it a shot and then the person asking the question (me) mark the appropriate answer.

Hi - confused. Do I need another SLX license or a failover enginer?

What's up with you verifying my question as the answer? If I ask a question, allow me to check if the answer actually works, then "I" will respond as "Verified".

Apparently you are not running version 6.1.

The root issue appears that SolarWinds development/software is based on small shops and not the Enterprise. Too bad our Enterprise won't pay for Enterprise.

If a scope is removed from the DHCP Server, does IPAM have any mechanism to detect that a scope has been deleted and act upon it? Either with a warning and prompt to remove the DHCP Scope from IPAM or the ability to ignore it? What exactly is the IPAM mechanism with dealing with deleted scopes from a DHCP Server?

Support provided the following, not sure if either will provide what is needed to do a full restore in case of a failure and a hardware swap occurs. <!-- edited with Notepad by "Bill"--> <!--SolarWinds Network Management Tools--> <!--Copyright 2005 SolarWinds.Net All rights reserved--> <Configuration-Management…

Hi, Thank you for the answer. Yes, I do see duplicates within the grid of scopes listed, at this point just two of each scope. Jonathan

This is a big pain in my tukus also. Glad to see we are not the only ones with this situation with redundant DHCP Servers.
