Cisco Prime 2.1 - Collection Failure 2950 Series Switch

[Jeffersson Quintero]

Hi All,

I am trying to add various devices in the Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1, but with the followings I get a message: Collection Failure (Inventory Collection Status).

Cisco Catalyst 2950 24 Switch
Cisco Catalyst 2950G 24 EI DC Switch

¿Why I can't sync this devices?

Kind Regards!

Sadly, PI 2.X no longer support legacy switch models like the 2940/2950/2955, 3550 and 2970.

Leo,
I think you are not correct ...

( to be truth - I hope it ;- )  )

in PI 2.2 the Cat 3550 is listed under the supported devices whereas the Cat 2950, 2955 are not:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/net_mgmt/prime/infrastructure/2-2/release/notes/cpi_rn.html#pgfId-43885

But the latter are listed as being supported in PI 2.1 (while the Cat 3550 is not...)
http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/net_mgmt/prime/infrastructure/2-1/supported/devices/pi21-supported-devices-list.xlsx?mdfid=284540974

So hopefully it is just a matter of time to get them ALL on the list of supported devices for the current version of PI 2.2 ...

I just saw that for Prime Network (Management SW for Service Providers) they even have Cat 3500XL on the list of supported devices... (but I do not know for which type of management they do support these devives, e.g. config, alarming,etc)

Martin, 

I hope I'm wrong too but this could be a documentation "bug".

Hello. I also had this issue with 2950s until I installed 2.1.1 maintenance release along with the latest Device Package.
