NeDi FAQ

• I get errors retrieving the ports on Cat3500XL or Cat29x0 using IOS Version 12.0(5), what's wrong?

There seems to be a bug with the bridge mib in this version. Try upgrading the IOS.

• I don't see interface in octets on Cat2950 running 12.1(6)EA2a with snmp v2c, what's wrong?

It seems the switch doesn't like perl Net:SNMP. Upgrade the switch…

• Why do I get the name instead of the serial# on a AP1200 running IOS?

Did you enter the name on the snmp settings page? Try deleting it from there and see what happens… * How about having the same MAC in different vlans? Due to the fact that NeDi now supports different vendors, it's quite impossible to assign vlans to MAC addresses and vtp domains to vlans. Therefore MAC addresses are always unique and Vlans won't be bound to VTP domains.

• How do I use ssh: links from my Windows Browser?

First you'll need to teach windows about the ssh protocol. Create file called ssh.reg with this content:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ssh]
@="URL:ssh Protocol"
"URL Protocol"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ssh\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ssh\shell\open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ssh\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\putty\\putty.exe\" \"%1\"" 

For Firefox you'll need to enter this in about:config:

network.protocol-handler.app.ssh		STRING "C:\Program Files\Putty"
network.protocol-handler.external.ssh		BOOL   true
network.protocol-handler.expose.ssh		BOOL   true
network.protocol-handler.warn-external.ssh	BOOL   false

• Where's nedimap.php?

This PHP script is generated on the fly. If you don't see it after using the map feature, check the file permissions on NeDi's log directory (under html).

• My PHP doesn't generate images or is not capable of doing SNMP queries?

Make sure you have GD and Net-SNMP installed. PHP should then be compiled with: ./configure –with-gd –with-snmp –with-mysql –with-apxs2 –prefix=/usr –with-zlib make make install

• I get a white screen after login in, why?

Install MYSQL and Session for PHP.
