Section A. Device Information

Submit a separate device request form for each device Vendor / Family (e.g., Cisco Nexus, Cisco ASR, Juniper EX,
HP, A12000)

VENDOR
FAMILY
CATEGORY (e.g., Switch, Router,
etc.)

List one or more requested device Models within the specified Device Vendor / Family (Cisco ASR 1002, ASR
1004)

SW/OS DEVICE COUNT

MODEL SNMP SysObjectID DESCRIPTION / COMMENT
VERSION (approximate)

Section B. Cross check device support matrix: Select (check) all that apply

Is the device model / sysObjectID listed in “NNMi device support matrix” for your NNMi release?

If device support exists (or is added) in newer NNMi release version, are you willing to upgrade?

Are you willing to test PRE-RELEASE (beta) version of the device support module and provide
feedback?

Section D. Check list of data needed for each support case

 NNMi Device Support Request (DRD) form completely filled

 SNMP walks for all involved devices as per Section E
 Device CLI 'Show Config' output for each device involved, as per Section E
 Connectivity diagram and neighbor walks, if L2/LAG support is needed
 Netconf XML data for Juniper devices only, as per Section E
 DSM Report for the requested device model. See Section H on how to capture DSM report.

NOTE:
1. If any of the above information is missing, progress on the case may be delayed or not possible.
2. Use separate form for each device VENDOR / FAMILY (e.g., Cisco Nexus, Cisco ASR). Multiple device
MODELS within a Vendor/Family may be listed in single form (e.g., Cisco ASR 1002, ASR 1004).

Additional Information needed (if possible): Select (check) all that apply

NNMi Configpoll output (if NNMi is installed run "nnmconfigpoll.ovpl -v device-ipaddr" for all involved devices)

Vendor specific MIBs supported by the device (Vendor-specific MIB files are delivered with the vendor's device
documentation or can be downloaded from vendor's site.)

Section E. How to Collect the SNMP Walks/Netconf XML? Check the following options.

Contact the Support team to obtain copy of the nnmsnmpcapture tool

Any System, with or
Pre-Requisite:
without NNMi
a) Java 1.6 or above and java. Tool does not run on lower version of java 1.6.
b) To check java version run "java -version" command on command prompt
c) JAVA_HOME environment variable should be set
d) If JAVA_HOME environment variable is not set, the script try to use either
NNMi java (if NNMi is installed) or default java. Script will fail and exit in case,
none of the above steps failed to find java 1.6 or above version

Quick start Instructions:

e) Extract nnmsnmpcapture.zip onto your system. Any directory will do.

f) Run either nnmsnmpcapture.bat (for windows) or nnmsnmpcapture.sh (for
Linux).

Refer to the Readme.txt file for more details.

Last resort For each device, execute the following Net-SNMP command (http://www.net-
snmp.org/download.html):
snmpwalk –ObenU –v2c –c community device-ip 1 > nwalk-device-ip.txt
with actual device-ip and associated community string specified accordingly.
NOTE: The –ObenU options and “1” oid argument are required to collect a
complete walk in proper format.
Netconf XML Contact support to get a copy of the netconf xml capture tool.
Quick start Instructions:
1. Extract the tool onto your system.
2. Execute netconf.sh
Usage:
netconf.sh [options] ssh://user:paswd@host[:port][/subsystem] rpc-
commands...
Refer to README.txt for more details.

Section F. Steps to collect Device Assessment Report (DSM) report

DSM Reports can be collected from NNMi 9.2 Patch4 and above.
NOTE: The device for the requested model should be seeded and discovered before launching the DSM report
1. Launch Device from a supported version of Web browser: http://<nnmiserver:port>/nnm-dsm/nnm-
dsm.jsp
2. Under Generate Device Assessment Report for a specific Node (Device IP address)/Nodes by
management address/Range of addresses using (*)/Hostname/sysObjectId. Enter the value as specified.
3. Click Submit. Attach a copy of the displayed report along with the Device Support Request form.
