Dear Cisco community,
this is my first post. Recently I started to work with Cisco Prime Infrastructure product (v2.2 and 3.0).
There is one thing that bothers me. I need to make report for number of interface on devices.
I found report: this is for v2.2 (Reports -> Report Launch Pad -> Device -> Detailed Hardware).
Report outputs many useful info one of them is "Number of Interfaces"
It seems at different devices it shows different numbers of interfaces additionally to ones counted from show interface status/show interface description/show ip int brief
Example:
=======================================
Real status:
3xWS-C3850-12S stacked
show version shows 20 ports per switch:
Switch Ports Model SW Version SW Image Mode
------ ----- ----- ---------- ---------- ----
* 1 20 WS-C3850-12S 03.03.05SE cat3k_caa-universalk9 INSTALL
2 20 WS-C3850-12S 03.03.05SE cat3k_caa-universalk9 INSTALL
3 20 WS-C3850-12S 03.03.05SE cat3k_caa-universalk9 INSTALL
show interface status shows 12 ports per switch
show interface description shows 20 ports per switch (12 onboard, 4 gigabit and 4tengigabit)
show ip interface brief shows 20 ports per switch (12 onboard, 4 gigabit and 4tengigabit)
if I take data from show interface status whole stack should have 36 ports
if I take data from show interface description whole stack should have 60 ports
=============================================
Cisco Prime Infrasturcture report:
when I make above mentioned report in Cisco Prime Infrastructure for switch catalyst 3850
it shows each of the stacks in separate row and Number of Interfaces count is for each of them 72.
Even if I take that prime is counting each switch as a whole stack I cannot get to port number 72.
Question:
does anyone know where is documentation that explains calculation for this report or does anyone know how this calculation is done?
Cisco Prime is making life easier but I want to be sure I`m getting correct data otherwise I can just do everything manually :) which I don`t want.
Perhaps I`m just missing something
thanks
