netdump starting problem

[Anirudh Srinivasan <srianirudh@xxxxxxxxx>]

hello friends,

 

I was setting up netdump server in my workplace. I followed the following procedure:

 

Server Configuration:

1. Verify that the netdump server is installed: rpm -q netdump-server. If it is not installed, install it by running the command: up2date netdump-server.
   

2. After the netdump server package is installed change the password for the "netdump" user to something that you know: passwd netdump
   

3. Enable the netdump server: chkconfig netdump-server on
   

4. Start the netdump server: service netdump-server start

Client Configuration:

1. Verify that the netdump client is installed: rpm -q netdump. If it is not installed, install it by running the command: up2date netdump.
   

2. Edit /etc/sysconfig/netdump and add the following line:
   
   NETDUMPADDR=192.168.0.5
   
   **192.168.0.5 should be changed to the ip address of the netdump server.
   

3. Enter the following command and give the netdump password when prompted: service netdump propagate
   

4. Enable the netdump client: chkconfig netdump on
   

5. Start the netdump client: service netdump start

 

Now after doing this i get the following message:

 

# service netdump start
netdump: cannot arp <ipaddress>
netdump: cannot find <ipaddress>in arp cache
netdump: can't resolve <ipaddress> MAC address
netdump server address resolution                          [FAILED]

 

 

What could be the reason for this ? How could i solve this?

 

 

Thanks
