9.1 SP2

I am curious if there was ever an answer to reordering the list of elements. We occassionally add sites and would like to get the list back to alphabetical.

 Yes, you can. It's still listed as "experimental", but we are working with VMware on their efforts to make the support official. Yeah, I found out it is definitely experimental. Last month I tried it on one of our VMware hosts and well, it didn't go well. Thankfully I moved off all our production stuff and just left up a…

I have seen the stacking ports have problems. Turns out it was a cable that wasn't connected properly. It worked for months until someone went into the closet and bumped it. NPM alerted us and we had another person dispatched to fix the problem.

No version of IOS on the 3548XL supports Netflow. According to Cisco no device in the 2900, 3500, 3660, or 3750 series supports Netflow. This can be found in the following Cisco document: www.cisco.com/.../prod_white_paper0900aecd80406232.html It can be found in Table 1.

I failed to mention the type of property to monitor is "Custom Node Poller" on the trigger tab.

 I already do that and it works. I was just hoping for something a bit easier. With 20 staff and about 1000 nodes/interfaces to manually select on each staff, I am having to take a bunch of breaks to do the data entry.

 We are new to running NTA here so we are just trying to get up to speed. We set our system to keep 120 minutes of uncompressed data and 185 days of compressed data. Right now we are using it in Category 1 mode. We just implemented some new circuits and are trying to see what chaos is exists. The plan is to begin using it…

2.) Orion on one server, SQL on another server with DB stored on local drive.

Without some more information it will be hard to help identify what the problem exactly is. Questions like how many nodes do you monitor? Do you have the netflow module installed? If you do how many flows/devices do you monitor? Our small implementation with 1400 monitored elements can easily generate 100GB+ LDF file in…

 On our netflow implementation port 1935 is not enabled. With it not being enabled, any traffic would appear as "Unmonitored". You might want to check to make sure that application is enabled and test again. Once you do, the new traffic will appear as monitored while the prior traffic will still appear as unmonitored.

We did it by creating an advanced alert. For the trigger you need at least trigger when at least two things apply. First trigger on the "Poller Name" "is equal to". The value it is looking for is the name of the poller. It can be found in the Universal Device Poller utility. The second thing you need to trigger on is…

There are a few ways to do this I think. In the Syslog Rule editor, on the general tab, there is a Source IP Address field. You can put in here the IP addresses of the devices. This list can get rather long if you aren't careful. My solution would be to suggest setting up another syslog server service and have only those…

Raritan Computer, Inc. Dominion PX 1.3.6.1.4.1.13742

Netflow is not supported on the Cisco 3548XL Switch.

 I personally would like to have a better handle on the traffic that flows across the vSwitches in our VMware environment. We have a number of servers that our application staff swears is our fault for performance. We are looking at additional tools to dive into the server and disk systems in VMware, better network…

 One point to note, to my knowledge Netflow statistics can not be generated by a 3750. We use a number of them and have fairly recent code and do not see it as an option.
