General Notes and Known Problems

Note the following:

Your browser must be properly configured. If it is not properly configured, Campus might not work correctly. See the Installation and Setup Guide for CiscoWorks Common Services 3.0 (Includes CiscoView) on Solaris for information on properly setting up client systems.

Campus requires a DNS server to function properly. Many commands operate erratically or not at all, if there is no DNS server on the network.

Running Campus from a browser invoked from an x-window connection is not supported. Install a browser on the client from which you wish to connect.

Virus checker applications on Microsoft Windows systems might slow Campus response time.

You can upgrade your operating system (OS) either before or after you upgrade Campus. However, if you upgrade the OS after upgrading Campus, you will not receive any OS-related patch warnings or service pack-related warnings.

Verify that the latest version of all required OS patches, service packs, and third-party device drivers are installed before proceeding with an OS upgrade.

We recommended that any Windows 2000 server running Netscape Navigator should not also be used as a client.

Visio Caveats:

Do not export an entire topology map to Visio. Instead, select and export particular devices or a segment of the network.

After selecting Export to Visio, you must enter a filename in the Export to Visio dialog box for the file Visio will generate.

Before opening a topology map exported to Visio, you need to download the cm_cisco.vss file and place it in the Visio/Solutions directory.

Table 3 General Known Problems 

Bug ID
Summary
Explanation

None

Cisco Catalyst 3500 series is supported in IP mode only.

Campus supports Cisco Catalyst 3500 series in IP mode only. Cluster mode is not supported. If your network has a Cisco Catalyst 3500 switch in cluster mode, the links display incorrectly.

Workaround:

None.

CSCsb28190

Campus Manager applications fail to start in ACS mode.

Toplogy Services, Path Analysis, VLAN Port Assignment, and Discrepancy Report tasks fail to start when you login to CiscoWorks in ACS mode.

This problem occurs when you assign a CiscoWorks user to a group and when CiscoWorks server is not present in that group.

Workaround:

When you assign a user to a specific group, ensure that the CiscoWorks Server IP address is added to that device group.

CSCsa80727

Launching of Campus Manager UIs fails.

Campus Manager UIs fail to open when the daemon manager is not restarted for a long period of time.

Workaround:

Stop and restart the daemon manager. Campus Manager UIs will now open properly.

CSCsa65685

Online Help for Data Extraction Engine has incorrect details.

Schema for User Tracking Data, Switch Data, and Subnet Data are incorrect in the Online Help.

The servlet for exporting user tracking data is incorrectly mentioned as CMExportServlet.

Workaround:

See Chapter Data Extraction Engine in the User Guide for Campus Manager 4.0 on Cisco.com for the correct information.

CSCsa65131

Campus Manager Data Extraction Engine servlet interface does not work.

The Campus Manager Data Extraction Engine servlet interface (CMExportServlet) displays an error when you try to export User Tracking Data.

The Online Help for Data Extraction Engine has incorrect details on the servlet to be used for exporting User Tracking Data.

Workaround:

Do not use the CMExportServlet to export User Tracking data. Use UTExportServlet to export User Tracking Data. See Chapter Data Extraction Engine in the User Guide for Campus Manager 4.0 on Cisco.com for more details.

CSCsa65130

Online Help for Data Extraction Engine refers to a non-existent logfile element.

In the schema for payload file, the Online Help refers to a logfile element which is non-existent. If this schema is used, an error is displayed.

Workaround:

Do not use the logfile element in the payload file. See Chapter Data Extraction Engine in the User Guide for Campus Manager 4.0 on Cisco.com for the correct schema for payload file.

CSCsa59569

Restoring Campus files fails when path of the backup.pl file is in lower case.

When path of the backup.pl file, is provided in lower case, Campus successfully backs up the files, but does not restore the files.

This is because during restore, NMSROOT verification of the tar file fails, which stops the Campus restore.

Workaround:

You must execute NMSROOT/objects/db/conf/configureApp.pl before backing up the files using backup.pl.

CSCsa47864

After uninstalling Campus, the application does not remove the links to Campus from CiscoWorks Homepage.

If you have enabled SSL on CiscoWorks server and if you uninstall Campus, the links to Campus Manager application are not unregistered from CiscoWorks Homepage.

Workaround:

None.

CSCsa44629

Campus does not restore Topology Map settings after taking back up and restore in another machine, which has Campus 4.0.

Campus does not save the changes to layout style and background colors in Topology Map settings, which were backed up in another machine.

This occurs when you do the following:

1. Modify Topology Map settings in a machine with Campus 3.3.

1. Back up and restore the files in another machine, which has Campus 4.0.

2. Run Data Collection.

3. Start Topology Services.

Workaround:

1. Run NMSROOT/campus/conf/upgrade/cm/topo/
2cm31maplayout.pl on the machine with Campus 3.3 to generate the map files.

2. Copy the map files to the location on the target system, where you have restored the data: $NMSROOT/campus/etc/users/username/

3. Upgrade Topology Map by selecting File > Upgrade View Layouts from Topology Services.

CSCsa29999

In Campus, User Defined group lists all the devices when you create the group in CiscoWorks Common Services.

When you create Common Services User Defined group in Device and Credential Repository (DCR) Device Management, the User Defined Group in Campus displays all the devices.

Workaround:

None.

CSCsa22708

Campus does not manage existing devices when upgrading from higher device limit to lower device limit.

This problem occurs because Campus performs a fresh discovery of the network to obtain the devices and does not import them from the earlier versions.

Workaround:

None.

CSCin58202

Unable to get XML data using user defined queries or layouts, until you restart User Tracking after creating the user defined queries or layouts.

The is because of an error in the applet where you create user defined query or layout.

The applet does not save the user defined query or layout in the ANI Server until you close User Tracking window.

Workaround:

None.

CSCin23883

Jobs created in Path Analysis or User Tracking appear in the Job Management page even after uninstalling Campus.

If you have scheduled Path Analysis or User Tracking jobs and then uninstall Campus, the jobs are not deleted from the CiscoWorks Job Management page.

Workaround;

Delete the Path Analysis or User Tracking jobs from the Job Management page.

CSCdu51651

You cannot select the first template from the drop-down box, when you create SPVC/SPVP/Advanced parameters.

Under ATM if you create SPVC/SPVP/Advanced parameters, you cannot select the first template from the drop-down box. This is because the traffic parameter fields are not populated.

Workarounds:

1. Go to Select/Edit and select the template.

2. Click OK.

Or

1. Select the second template

2. Select the first template.

CSCdt55303

Starting Campus application with the Print dialog box open in another Campus application results in error.

This problem occurs if you:

1. Select Print from active Campus application.

2. Start another Campus application, with Print dialog box open.

The new application window does not respond to user input.

Workaround:

Close the Print dialog box and restart the application.

CSCdt42318

Cannot copy and paste IP addresses from Topology Services to Path Analysis when you use keyboard shortcuts.

This problem occurs if you:

Enter Ctrl-C to copy address after selecting an IP address in Topology Services,

Or

Enter Ctrl-V with the cursor active in the From field in Path Analysis.

In both cases the following is pasted in instead of the IP address:

java.lang.nullPointerException

Ctrl-X, Ctrl-C, and Ctrl-V (keyboard shortcuts for cut, copy, and paste commands) are not supported by summary tables in the Topology Services main window or most tables displayed by Campus applications.

Also, in applications that support the copying of table cells by selecting Edit > Copy, a carriage return is added to the end of the last cell copied.

Workaround:

None.

CSCdt22462

Download of Java applets on Windows 2000 machines may take longer than expected if virus checker application is enabled.

On some Windows systems, the initial download of large Java applets (or subsequent downloads of the same applets that are not cached locally) might take longer than expected (up to six minutes in some instances).

After the applet has been loaded and cached locally, the problem no longer occurs.

The delay is caused by client side filtering mechanisms such as virus scanning. Some virus scanners are configured to automatically scan content downloaded by browsers. Scanning consumes a lot of memory and results in disk paging on most systems.

Owing to this, downloading is significantly slower than expected. (The effect is less on systems with large amounts of RAM and virtual memory.)

Workaround:

Disable the automatic scanning of all downloaded files, and instead enable the scanning of program files only (specified by file extension).

Exact instructions vary depending on the virus scanner installed on your system.

CSCds88388

Cannot launch CiscoView on an IGX series device.

This occurs if you:

1. Launch Topology Services.

2. Open LAN Edge view.

3. Right-click on IGX series device and select CiscoView from the Context menu.

A dialog box appears.

4. Enter appropriate community strings, and CiscoView attempts to launch.

An error message appears.

Workaround:

Launch CiscoView on IGX series devices via Cisco WAN Manager.

CSCdm88520

Minimized windows are not visible when you select them from a Window menu.

If a window is minimized, you cannot make it visible by selecting it from a Window menu.

Workaround:

On Solaris, double-click the icon of the window on the desktop.

On Windows, click the icon of the window in the task bar.

CSCdm83204

Campus applications do not work when you access CiscoWorks using http://localhost:1741

If you access CiscoWorks applications using http://localhost:1741 from a browser on the same machine that CiscoWorks server is installed on, Campus suite of applications will not work.

Workaround:

Use full DNS name or IP address of server, even when accessing it locally.

CSCdm77812

In Path Analysis, Tools > Path Trace displays an error,
null pointer exception on Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 with the URL of a local host.

If your system has a non-blank CLASSPATH environment variable, your browser might behave unpredictably.

Workaround:

Reset the CLASSPATH variable non-globally:

Solaris— Reset the CLASSPATH variable from the terminal window from where you launch the browser.

Windows—Reset the CLASSPATH variable in MS-DOS prompt window and launch the browser from the prompt.


General Known Problems

Browser Known Problems

Bug ID
Summary
Explanation

CSCin39472

Problems with Campus Manager applications after logout.

When you logout from CiscoWorks, Campus Manager applications will continue to function. However, the following functions will not be available:

Launching Help.

Tasks in Campus, which require user action between applications. For example, highlighting a device in Topology Services using Path Analysis.

Workaround:

1. Close all Campus applications.

2. Login into CiscoWorks.

3. Launch Campus applications.

CSCdt11838

You are not prompted to install the Java plug-in when launching an application that utilizes the plug-in for the first time.

If RealJukebox Plug-in for Navigator is already installed on a Windows client before the first launch of application utilizing Java Plug-in, you will not be prompted to install Java Plug-in.

Workaround:

Uninstall RealJukebox Plug-in. Another option is to rename nprjplug.dll file in Navigator Plug-ins directory with new extension—for example, nprjplug.dll.bak.

After Java Plug-in is installed, you can reactivate RealJukebox Plug-in by changing the renamed file back to nprjplug.dll.

CSCdp43999

Maps and configuration dialogs display offset menus and list boxes in Netscape on a Solaris client.

Sometimes, when you launch a map or a configuration dialog box, menus or list boxes are not displayed below the menu. This offset occurs in Navigator on a Solaris client.

Workaround:

Move or resize window.


Path Analysis Known Problems

Table 5 Path Analysis Known Problems 

Bug ID
Summary
Explanation

CSCsa47939

You cannot start CiscoView from Path Analysis, on SSL server.

You cannot start CiscoView from Path Analysis because of an incorrect URL:

https://CiscoWorksServer:-1/CVng/
chassis.do?deviceip=10.77.209.53

Workaround:

Replace -1 with 443 in the URL, thus correcting the URL to:

https://CiscoWorksServer:443/CVng/
chassis.do?deviceip=10.77.209.53

CSCsa41902

Campus does not display proper error message when ACS is down.

When ACS is down, authentication succeeds but authorization to the server fails. Campus tasks display an error message, which does not specify that TACACS+ login has failed.

Campus must display an error message similar to the message in Common Services: Authentication with TACACS+ fails. You are in the fallback mode. Please go to Server > Security > Login Module > Non ACS to change the Login Module to CiscoWorks Local. You will need appropriate privileges to perform this operation.

Workaround:

None.

CSCin37960

VLAN-to-Subnet mapping information is not available for Phone Traces.

Path Analysis does not provide VLAN-to-Subnet mapping information, when you run Path Trace between two IP phones.

Workaround:

None.

CSCin37938

Interface Type displays Unknown for phones in Path Analysis Table.

This problem occurs when you run path traces between IP Phones or between a device and IP Phone.

Workaround:

None.

CSCin36082

Additional hop appears when you perform a trace using HSRP virtual IP address.

An additional hop appears if you perform a trace by providing an HSRP virtual IP address as the source or destination in the path trace.

Workaround:

None.

CSCin35773

Map displays self loop when routing loop occurs.

Occasionally, when the potential first hop learnt by Path Analysis is not discovered successfully by ANI, the map displays a self loop.

Workaround:

None.

CSCin30899

Path Analysis does not work when LSR Traceroute is disabled.

If you disable source route on routers, Path Analysis might not display the route occasionally.

Workaround:

None.

CSCin28223

CORBA related error message is logged into the log file during path trace.

Occasionally, during path trace, a CORBA related error message is logged into the ani.log file.

Workaround:

Close the client browser window and relaunch Path Analysis.

CSCin00624

Path trace involving HSRP router results in an empty If Index entry in the Path Analysis table.

The problem occurs when you run a Path trace which includes the IP address of an HSRP router in the From field of a path trace.

Workaround:

None.

CSCdw15555

Voice trace fails to get Cisco CallManager cluster information if Cisco CallManager HTTPD shuts down.

Path Analysis Voice Trace needs to query call managers known to ANI to see what the cluster membership is.

This is done through a HTTP query.

As a security precaution, you might disable the Web Server on all cluster members except one. This is because Cisco CallManagers use IIS, and can be badly damaged by viruses such as Code Red and NIMDA.

However, if cluster members have Web Server shut off, then Path Analysis cannot obtain information on cluster membership and cannot retrieve CDRs.

Workaround:

Turn the Web Server on the Cisco CallManager back on.

CSCdw03410

Path Voice Trace does not consider transcoding points.

Current Campus Path Analysis Voice Trace is valid only in the case where the two endpoints are IP Phones registered with the same Cisco CallManager cluster.

For other cases (involving transcoding), Path does not get correct path information.

Examples:

Phone call from IP phone to POTS phone off H.323 gateway (e.g. 3640)

Phone call from one Cisco CallManager cluster to another.

In such a case the path would be:

a. From phone 1 to Cisco CallManager 1

b. From Cisco CallManager 1 to Cisco CallManager 2 through H.323 inter-cluster trunk

c. From Cisco CallManager 2 to phone 2

Phone call to gateway (PSTN, analog, etc.)

Phone call to other servers (voice mail, conference, etc.)

This is a very complex issue, and most likely will require new instrumentation from telephony servers, etc.

Workaround:

None.

CSCdt42600

To and From fields may not function properly after selecting Print in Path Analysis.

This problem is caused by Java Virtual Machine bug. After you select Print in Path Analysis, the To and From fields may not accept mouse focus, or focus may appear in both fields, simultaneously.

Workaround:

Resize Java console window. If the problem persists, close Path Analysis window and open another window.

CSCdt42404

Trace tab displays GMT as time zone, although server is set to local time zone.

A number of Java bugs involve incorrect interpretation of time zones. Usually, the correct time zone appears if you set the local time zone to the appropriate three-letter abbreviation—for example, PST for Pacific Standard Time.

This problem is observed on Solaris clients with TZ environment variable set to American/Tijuana.

Workaround:

If the TZ environment variable is instead set to PST8PDT, then Java interprets local time zone correctly.

CSCdt23712

Path Analysis displays the Elvis module of Cisco Catalyst 6000 devices as unknown.

Since Path Analysis depends on ANI for its tracing capabilities, if a device-related discovery problem occurs in ANI, it results in an unsuccessful trace.

Workaround:

None.

CSCdt04978

Highlighted path trace in Topology Services map may be difficult to view.

It may be difficult to view highlighted path trace in Topology Services map, especially you select the Fit to Window view.

Workaround:

Zoom into Topology Services Map view by selecting
Select All Highlighted Objects > Zoom to Selected.

CSCds79693

Voice trace query results always appear using local time zone.

Local time zone always appears in voice trace query results, even if you select GMT time zone when specifying call start time.

Workaround:

None.

CSCds77461

Call Detail Records (CDR) query results are sometimes displayed after pressing Cancel.

Multiple threads are launched to query every Cisco CallManager for information specified in user's CDR query.

Since all query activities can take a second or two to cancel, query results sometimes continue to appear even after you press Cancel.

Workaround:

None.

CSCds77438

Path Analysis Map tab does not refresh properly.

This problem mainly occurs when running both the client and the server on the same machine. It occurs after running a large number of Path traces on client browser.

Workaround:

Close browser and relaunch Campus.

We recommend that you run the client and server on different machines. Doing so does not eliminate this problem. However, it reduces its occurrence because you need to run a large number of traces before problem manifests itself.


User Tracking Known Problems

Information displayed in a row might not reflect the most current network state. This is because User Tracking discovery takes information from routers and switches.

Since these switches collect their information at different times, the information in a row reflects the state of the network or subnet at the time displayed in the Last Seen field.

Table 6 User Tracking Known Problems 

Bug ID
Summary
Explanation

CSCsb17074

User Tracking does not discover hosts connected to devices with SNMPv3 credentials.

When you manage the devices Cisco Catalyst 3750 and Cisco Catalyst 4000 with SNMPv3 Credentials in Campus Manager, and if there are end hosts connected to these devices, the end hosts are not discovered and shown by User Tracking.

Workaround:

None.

None

User Tracking discovery could span more than desired subnet.

When you start subnet discovery of user nodes, devices in that subnet are marked for discovery.

Since switches support multiple VLANs, discovery could span more than the subnet that you selected. User Tracking could discover additional end host nodes that are not in the selected subnet.

Workaround:

Query only the required VLAN option in the subnet discovery window.

CSCsa30812

Job reports are not available after upgrading to Campus 4.0.

Reports for the jobs that are successfully completed in Campus 3.3 are not available after upgrading to Campus 4.0.

This is because of the change in format of the Reports in Campus 4.0. In earlier versions of Campus, job results were stored in plain text, whereas in Campus 4.0, the results are stored in serialized object.

Workaround:

None.

CSCsa27118

User Tracking Report displays Port State as Static for dot1x authenticated ports.

User Tracking Report displays Port State as Static when an end host is connected to the switch port, which is configured for dot1x authentication.

This is because the device populates vmVlanType as Static for dot1x authenticated ports.

Workaround:

None

CSCsa22740

ARP entries are not fetched for Cisco 3550-24 VLAN Interfaces.

ARP entries are not fetched for Cisco 3550-24 VLAN Interfaces. Hence, IP Address is not displayed in User Tracking End Host Reports.

Workaround:

None.

CSCsa20659

Purge Job is created although you delete it from User Tracking Report Jobs.

In User Tracking, Purge Job is created even if you try to delete it from the User Tracking Report Jobs and Common Services JRM pages.

It gets deleted and then recreated immediately. There is no functionality loss because of this.

Workaround:

None.

CSCsa14652

NAM and IDS Modules appear as end hosts in User Tracking.

Cisco Catalyst 6000 devices running native IOS service modules are displayed as end hosts in User Tracking.

This is caused by a problem on the device.

Workaround:

None.

CSCin08287

User Tracking does not recognize change in IP address UTIPChange is set to 1 under DHCP.

In a network using DHCP, with the UTIPChange set to 1, User Tracking does not recognize changes in IP address when an end-host is moved across VLANs. In this case, IP address changes across subnets.

When you set UTIPChange to 0, User Tracking detects the change of IP address across VLANs.

Workaround:

None.

CSCin00365

A change of Cisco CallManager registration adds a new record in phone table.

Cisco CallManager entries themselves respond with two entries. Make the change in the Cisco CallManager and not in the User Tracking.

Workaround:

None

CSCin00363

End host does not appear if obsolete ANI device IP address is assigned.

If you connect a CDP device to the port and then add a new end host, this new end host is not learnt. This is because ANI is not aware of such a change.

Workaround:

Do the following:

1. Delete the specific device.

2. Perform device specific discovery.

3. Perform a User Tracking discovery.

CSCin00181

Last Seen field gets updated for disconnected IP phones.

The Last Seen field in Phone Tracking corresponds only to the Last Seen field on Cisco CallManager and not to the Last Seen field on Network.

Workaround:

None.

CSCec59408

Campus does not query CISCO-PORT-SECURITY-MIB to verify port security configuration.

In User Tracking, configuring port security for a port makes the CAM entry static. When port security is configured, Campus does not query CISCO-PORT-SECURITY-MIB.

This is because of a device specific MIB implementation problem.

Workaround:

Upgrade to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(18)EW1 or 12.2(20)EW.

CSCdw04499

End hosts are not discovered with Catalyst 3550 running Cisco IOS Release 12.1(6)EA1 or earlier.

Workaround:

None.

CSCdt06183

User Tracking Main Table may not display all entries that are displayed in the phone table.

User Tracking entries shown in the main table are discovered from network. However, User Tracking entries shown in the phone table are read from Cisco CallManager.

If User Tracking cannot discover particular phones in network, entries for such phones in the User Tracking phone table will not have device and port information.

Workaround:

None.

CSCdr85384

Phone entries displayed by User Tracking differ from entries displayed by Cisco CallManager.

User Tracking phone entries acquired through SNMP for each Cisco CallManager may be different from entries in Cisco CallManager.

The Cisco CallManager database displays a historical record of all phones registered to Cisco CallManager.

The SNMP agent retains only records of phones registered since the agent was started. This accounts for any differences.

Workaround:

None.

CSCsa12448

Channel mode is set to desirable on one end, and auto on the other.

This can be seen in switches running Cisco IOS. Channel mode is set as desirable on one end, and to auto on the other end.

Though this combination is valid and the link gets converted to a channel, it has to be set to desirable on both sides.

Workaround:

None.

CSCsa12292

VLANs are not loaded for STP Offline Computation.

This problem occurs in Topology Services when you:

1. Launch STP Offline for PVST From the Topology Map.

2. Go to Reports > VLAN STP > Recommendations > STP Offline

3. Click Select Instance.

No VLANs are loaded.

Devices not supporting CISCO-STP-EXTENSIONS-MIB will not support any STP related functionality.

Workaround:

CSCsa11888

Channel or Trunk cannot be configured due to STP recalculation.

Campus Manager sets the channel mode to Desirable Non-silent on the selected devices to be channelled. However, STP state changes occur when any mode change happens.

So, if one of the two devices of the channel is an end-device and is only reachable through the to-be-channelled links, the device cannot be reached until the spanning-tree converges.

Workaround:

None.

CSCsa10216

Incorrect VTP version displayed in VTP reports.

This problem occurs in Topology Services:

The VTP Report displays the VTP version as 1 while the actual VTP version running on the device is VTP version 2.

CSCin01977

Position of devices connected to switch cloud changed after upgrade.

Switch clouds and fabrics represent the collection of LAN switches and ATM switches, respectively.

These logical entities are very specific to the currently discovered network. That is, if there is a new switch discovered, it can affect either of them to a very large extent.

This means that you cannot uniquely identify a switch cloud/fabric across ANI databases.

Workaround:

None.

CSCin01451

Cannot launch Customer Response Application (CRA) URLs from Service Attributes window.

This problem occurs when you launch Service Attributes from Topology Services. The sysApplInstallPkgLocation MIB returns /AppAdmin/.

The server http://ip-address/AppAdmin does not start the application.

This is because the application Web Server was running in a different port 6293.

Workaround:

Use CRA version 3.0(0.25) or later.

CSCin00665
