Support for Cisco FMC

Hi,Is Cisco FMC supported in NetBrain? We are using NetBrain version 12.1 and FMC version 7.4.2.1., I can see in the NetBrain API server manager there is a built-in API source type called Cisco FMC, but there are no specific instructions nor a guide how to discover the device. Is it necessary after discovering the Cisco FMC to again discover the Cisco FTD devices separately?Would appreciate a step-by-step guide similarly like the one for Check Point management and firewalls.Regards,Hrvoje

Multiple different SSH login attempts to Cisco ISR4300

We have multiple ISR4300 series routers with login on-failure and on-success set up. When I do show logging I see that there are multiple login attempts by NetBrain. That is ok when NetBrain is using the UN and PASS that is setup in the shared device settings. The problem is NetBrain is also using the other 2 username and passwords that are set up in the Network Settings under Telnet/SSH Login. I can see the failed attempts in the logs of the ISR4300. The question is WHY is NetBrain using those when in the shared device settings in the CLI tab I have the correct username and password and when I [Tune] everything check out. I see the login success in the log on the Router. How do I get NetBrain to stop using the other 2 entries on the Network Settings tab and only use what I set up in the Shared Devies???

Request - One-IP Table Duplicate IP Addresses Logic

In order to filter out One-IP Tables for duplicate IP addresses, there is the Domain Option to filter DHCP entries. The issue is that the logic removes all non-unique entries. Rather than only removing duplicate IP entries, it removes duplicate MAC entries.While I should only ever have a single MAC for a given IP, I can have the same MAC do multiple IP addresses. The DHCP remove option should only mess with same IP for multiple MAC addresses, but not multiple IP addresses for the same MAC.

Tune 111 error codes

Hello Everyone, I am looking at the devices under Fine Tune/ CLI Configurations failed.  I have over 1400 devices that can pull CLI Configurations and a few are failing to pull information due to 111 errors.   I tried the setup that worked for the other devices and manually added my own login credentials under the tune process and it fails. I also verified I am able to login to the device with my credentials.   Does anyone know what are the causes for the 111 error? Does Netbrain have a list of error codes and possible fixes? 2023-03-20 09:09:37 Begin tune process via Worker NETBRA11(pid: 6668)..2023-03-20 09:10:12 Connecting failed, error code: 111, error description: [111] Connection refused.2023-03-20 09:10:12 Can not Telnet/SSH to the device.2023-03-20 09:10:12 End tune process

API rate Limit issues

Hello there, I am trying to see if there is suggested practices when doing API calls for Meraki from the Netbrain Server. I get the rate-limit issues and have to wait for sometime before it clears. How does Netbrain usually avoid this when monitoring via API calls? Is the polling cycles longer time? Is it a grab all and then sort the data instead of an api call per device?

Tenant per Front Server or multiple Tenants per front server?

We are looking at deploying NetBrain and managing multiple customer networks from it.My question is, for optimum separation from a security standpoint, must there be a separate front server per customer (tenant)? Or can each front server service multiple tenants whilst maintaining separation?The biggest risk we are concerned with is that if a vulnerability exists in the front server, could an attacker on one customer network leverage a front server to gain access to another customer network?It would be a simple matter to have a separate front server for each tenant, but costly where we have lots of customers with small networks.

How can I ignore a network device's change password prompt?

Hi,My ssh from the Front Server to a network switch fails because the switch responds with a message: Your password has exceeded the maximum lifetime. Please change the password for better protection of your network. Do you want to change it now (Y/N) [N]  ?As the task cannot answer this question, it just times-out the connection.Using the CLI, I can type N and get CLI access.But how can that be done in a discover task? I do not want to change the password.Kind regards,Declan Watts, BT

Domain Clean up

Can someone assist me with the best way of cleaning up the ‘Latest CLI Configuration Retrieval Failed’ section under Fine Tune in Domain Management? All efforts to rediscover the devices in that section within my Domain have proved futile. Thanks!

API call to list all devices against a domain

Hi,Does anyone know how to use the API to return the name and ip address of all the devices held in the database for a single domain?I have no problem using the API to connect, select the tenant & domain, and so on. I can see API calls for returning individual devices (if you provide the name and/or ip address).But what if you want to return all of them.For example:Say my NetBrain has 500 devices against a domain. And I have another IP address source (my company’s single truth list), which has 480. I need to get the list of 500 to compare against the 480 so that I can delete the (now obsolete) 20.Yes, I could manually do the deletion, but that is laborious.regardsDeclan

If users have been synchronized to NetBrain with TACACS, do I need to set up those users manually again?

My NetBrain server is already synchronized NetBrain with TACACS. If TACACS is already running correctly with NetBrain, do I need to set up manually the user in NetBrain "Users" menu? I think this is not necessary. Could somebody please confirm? Thanks.

Tenant Vs Domain selection

I have started using NB recently and working on drafting a solution to multiple customers. Here I am getting confused between use case for tenant / domains. To ensure complete isolation of data of different clients, which should i prefer. It seems both are logical separation , utilising same backend components. Looking at it from Administration perspective which solution offers better benefit.  Moreover what are advantages of using Tenant over domain.

Password Change in SSH Credentials

Just to inform you, I stumbled across this little issue.When you change the password for the SSH user in the Network Settings, the credential in the Network Settings is username + new password. However, the credential saved in the Shared Device Setting of the devices is still username + old password.This means you have to proceed like this:Before changing the password you need to create a Device Group containing all devices using the specific credentials. Change the password. Open the Shared Device Settings of one of the devices and reapply the user to the device AND the Device Group.When you did not create the Device Group before changing the password, that Device Group will be empty.

Existing Domain Setup wrong?

I inherited a Netbrain installation when I was hired and am now coming to the realization that it was setup incorrectly. We are a large company of companies. Currently we have 1 domain under 1 tenant. If I’m wanting to limit the scope that I.T. teams from sub-companies would have to other sub-companies devices and data, I should have multiple domains for each sub-company correct?

Deleting Devices from NetBrain?

Hello!I’ve taken a look at the NetBrain online help and it doesn’t appear as though you guys document how to delete devices from the domain?   How do I do this?  Can this be added to the product documentation?Hopefully someone out there can give me an answer...

Connecting failed, error code: 1080. error description: Timeout.

I just tried to discover a new device in my NetBrain system and I’m getting an error that looks like NetBrain can’t connect to the device with a timeout error.  I’ve confirmed my NetBrain Windows 2012 R2 box can ping it and I can log in with PuTTy, but I just don’t get it.  Should I open a support case?
