    Hi All

    I am currently trying to get the newer server setup, but our existing server is running v1.11, I am currently having issues with netdb aligning ip's to mac addresses as some of our core infastructure is Nexus 7000 equipment, now I have setup the device type for the equipment as nxos but that doesnt seem to be correlating the ip's to macs on the access switches

    Hi

    I have done modifications to the nxosscraper.pl file as per https://sourceforge.net/p/netdbtracking/discussion/939989/thread/e58a4925/?limit=25#7385

    However I am getting information on the device now but it doesn't appear to be getting the arp table. I will leave it for a few polls to see what that does

    I seem to have sorted out some of the issues, but I'm not getting any new ips on the access switches, although I am seeing one or two ips on the Nexus 7000 switches and netdb has begun to show them on the GUI.

    When I search for a mac address in the last day on the gui it tells me what port it is on and switch, however it doesn't do that for the ip address, it appears to be showing an old stored one.

    Chris,

    Just a heads up, v1.13 is the latest release and v1.11 is a couple years old. Have you set the ,devtype=nxos on your 7000s? Have you also added the ,arp to them? Are your ARP tables inside of VRFs or in the global table?

    If you setup all of that, you'll probably need to try the latest release since there's been a lot of nxos changes since then.

    Hi Jonathan

    I believe the arp tables are in the global table, I did forget to add arp to the 7000's which I've just done. I will upgrade to 1.13 its just im trying to get the existing netdb instance we have working here in a tight timeframe, and I couldn't figure out what was wrong with the 1.12 instance we have running here, I posted another thread about it here.

    thanks

    chris

      I just saw that, sorry I missed it. Let me know how v1.13 goes by following the instructions and we’ll go from there. Are you installing on Ubuntu or Debian? There’s also a VM image if you have an ESX farm that might be easier to setup and manage.

    I'm installing on ubuntu, in anycase I am now getting arp entries, thanks for that, I feel stupid for not trying that before. I had nxos devices in there before, but only for layer two.

    I will have a look at the other server now the web GUI doesn't appear to be working, as I wasn't involved in the install I may have a look at starting afresh, as I havent been able to track down the problem for it as of yet.

    thanks

      Chris,

      The install is pretty strait forward on Ubuntu, and like I said I have the pre-built VM image as well. I would probably start fresh rather than track down where things went wrong on the other install personally. I think that would be quicker. Once you have it going to can just import your current database and config files to the new box. Note that if you import a database from v1.11 to v1.13, you’ll have to go back and run the SQL upgrade scripts to get your 1.11 database up to the 1.13 version.
