Cisco :: 2950 Network Management Software Options
Apr 15, 2013
Any quick breakdown on the differences between some Network Management software titles. I dont know when you would use each one or what the limitations are of each. [code] I have been looking over the release notes for each product trying to draw some conclusion on which titles support or dont support certain products.
When you would use each and if there are any gotchas or limits to watch out for? It looks like Prime is a paid for product but will any of the free solutions (CNA, CCP, CCA) work with all enterprise level products (2950, 2960, 3560, 3750, 4948, 4900 4500 switches and 1800, 1900, 2800, 2900, 3800, 3900 routers) or do you have to use Prime to get a product that will mange these devices?

spam up the boards with the same basic CCNA level stuff, but I have a couple of questions about ios differences, limitations, and references. I have the following three switches. One appears to be considerably dated in regard to software version. My confusion/ignorance stems from managing VTP settings.
2924XL 12.0 5 WC8
2950 12.1 22 EA6
2950 12.1 22 EA6
When I set either 2950 switch as the VTP server, and the other as a client, the client inherits the server settings as expected. However the 2924 requires that I go into the vlan database from priv exec and manually set vtp client. That's pretty similar to setting any switch to client mode. The problem I am observing is that after setting the 2924 to client, it still doesn't inherit vtp version settings or pruning settings. I still have to manually configure those. Additionally, if I copy run start the 2924 after making these manual settings, and then reload the switch, all the settings are lost and it defaults back to server mode with all features disabled. From my searches, it looks like vlan information is stored in vlan.dat, but all the documentation I've found is on 12.1 ios which doesn't appear to use vlan database for vtp setup, meaning it might still be an issue, but not one I'm focused on at the moment.
Is the vlan database dumped at reload? I've read vlan.dat is stored in nvram and should be saved after a copy run start, but that is not the case for me.I have since set the 2924 as the server, manually configured the server from vlan database, executed copy run start, and reloaded the switch. Oddly, my manual settings saved from the reload, meaning I only lose settings when the switch is in client mode.Am I missing additional necessary client commands to save the config, or is this just a limitation of either the 2924XL or the 12.0 ios?On a related but completed out of scope topic, without a cisco service contract, how am I supposed to make heads or tails of all the different versions of ios, along with the letter-based features and what-not? I can't even find my 2924 in the list of platforms when searching for ios upgrades.

Randomly when I try to access to 2950 from management tools, switch is unreachable, I have to access from other switch and reload 2950.
Problem only is from managemt tool to managament vlan 1 2950.
The strange thing is that management interface is encountering a very fast increase of throttles, broadcast and ignored packets:
2950#show interfaces vlan 1
Vlan1 is up, line protocol is up
Hardware is CPU Interface, address is 0023.3488.fd65 (bia 0023.3488.fd65)
Internet address is xxxxxxxxxx
MTU 1500 bytes, BW 1000000 Kbit, DLY 10 usec,
reliability 255/255, txload 1/255, rxload 1/255
[code]....
It could be a hardware problem?, IOS has been upgraded.

I have been using the old standard networking devices for years, 10/100 over CAT5 with Walmart off-the-shelf routers. Let's say I want to speed my network overall. I notice there are many systems and routers offering ten times that speed over wired and WiFi.I'm primarily interested in wired.

I have a hobby network at home, the structure of which follows:*Modem * - active SPI firewall -- Then the E4200 distributes data via wifi to/between the following machines --*Server - providing services such as http, FTP, VPN, Mail, MySQL, OpenDirectory, Plex media server, etc.*Two other workstations that access their user details/settings from open directory on the server.Now the purpose of this network other than providing standard access to Internet services from within the LAN is to provide access to the services maintained on my server to users on my LAN when they leave it/go mobile.Now with my limited knowledge of networking I have been using port forwarding to direct service requests through the firewall, however I have found with the E4200 that I have a limited number of custom port fields to use (about 15) which is extremely limiting when I have as many potential services that my server can provide.I could move the Server to a DMZ but then dosen't that put all my other services that have no need to be exposed at unnecessary risk.Do I need to invest in a separate hardware firewall and put it after the modem and before the router?

I have an older Dell laptop (Inspiron 4150: 10+ years old) and it has an onboard 3com 10/100 ethernet adapter. I recently switched to a Doccis 3.0 modem from Comcast and the laptop doesn't seem to get along with it too well. Are there any options for me to be able to get a Gigabit ethernet adapter for this older laptop? As far as the expansion slots go, the laptop has a Cardbus controller (Texas Instruements 1420 Cardbus controller) and as far as the PC Card connectors go, it has 2(supports 2 Type I or II cards or 1 Type III card with the PCMCIA being 16 bits and the Cardbus being 32 bits).
Is there such thing as a Gigabit ethernet pc card that this laptop would support? If not, what other options are there?

We are in a process to replace our old end of life switches( mostly Cisco 2950's) with some new offerings from cisco. Attached is our current network diagram. Anny merit of using Cisco Nexus switches in this design and also what will be the benifit in doing so. Again I am asking about the specific benefits which I will get in my Network not general benifits of nexus.

I've connected a dslmodem/router to a fast ethernet port(fa0/1) on a 2620 router.There is a 2950 switch connected to the other port (fa0/0).I can ping the Internet via the router but and the switch but not from a host connected to the switch.I can't reach the dslmodem from the host pc.I've configured nat(overload) on the router.

I used to be able to set an uplink port with the interface command "port network" so that it would not learn all the mac addresses that are being flooded down to the switch. It does not seem to be there on the 2950's or 35XX switches.
Where did it go and what is replacing it? Interface is a Trunk port as well.

I have two WS-C2950G-24-EI switches each of which were running software version 12.1(22)EA2-C2950-I6Q4L2-M. Both swtiches were viewable from Network Assistant version 5.6(3) and part of a community. I then updated the software on one of the switches to 12.1(22)EA14, and now Network Assistant will not add the new updated device to the community and gives an error of "WS-C2950G-24-EI is not supported as community member". Is the latest version (12.1(22)EA14) not supported by Network Assistant? The release notes indicate the Minimum Software Release is 12.1(22)EA4.

I just picked up a 24 port Catalyst 2950 to expand my home network and learn a bit more about networking. Having just upgraded the IOS software 'm now trying to get this to work as required on my network but I'm having a few issues.
My intentions are to plug my cable router/modem wan connection which is set up as the dhcp server to fa 0/1, then use fa 0/2 - 24 for the rest of my wired network. So essentially all on the same subnet interfacing with the router 192.168.0.1.
So far I have set up all of the security on the switch, and have all switch ports assigned to vlan1 with no IPs. My laptop connected to fa0/2 however is not assigned an ip address. Looking at a few posts I ahve rightly or wrongly played about with dhcp snooping.

Our network feels slow and trying to find the best way to investigate this properly. We have Cisco chassis 4500 with mix of 3560/2950 Edge switches 1GB backbones and WLC/WCS in place. The network is broken into multiple V LANS and IOS on our switches haven't been updated in 3-4 years.
On a wireless laptop (G) with get throughput of 1-2MB/s transfer speed with usually 10 clients per AP and LAN we get anywhere between 7-15 MB/s transfer. Using wire shark on a wireless laptop we see a lot broadcast traffic from other clients and the same for LAN. What is the best way to troubleshoot performance issues on the network and where do I start?

I have a lab setup to take my CCNA and CCNP and I'm having issues trying to get WAN connectivity back to a switch at the end of my network. My lab environment consists of 1 - 2950 switch, 1 - 2620 and 1 - 2621XM. I have 1 Ethernet connection from each router to the switch and 1 serial connection from the 2620 to the 2621XM. I have the serial interfaces in a shutdown state right now so there is no loop since I do not have Spanning tree setup on the ports on the switch yet.
Right now using the fast ethernet ports on the routers and I have no issues its when I shut down those Ethernet ports and try using the serial interfaces when I start having issues. So my network layout is Ethernet from switch port f0/4 to port f0/0 on 2620 and serial from s0/1 on the 2620 to s0/2 on the 2621XM. My 2621XM f0/1 is whats connected to the WAN and I have no issues getting to the WAN from my 2621Xm or my 2620 but when I try pinging any website or even my WAN default gateway from my switch I get nothing!
Ive also noticed that when I do a IP NAT translation (after accessing the WAN from my 2620) on my 2621XM the source IP is of my serial connection not the ip of my 2620 router? I have my default gateway on the 2620 as the the IP of my serial interface on the 2621XM and vice versa because my LAN network is 172.16.1.0 and my WAN is 172.16.9.0. I have a /31 setup between my serial connections 172.16.11.0 (s0/1) is on the 2620 and 172.16.11.1(s0/2) is on the 2621XM. I used the SDM (ver 2.5) to setup NAT to have f0/1 with Nat outside and s0/2 as Nat inside. Encapsulation is HDLC between the serial links. Ive attached the running configs of the switch and routers.

I have recently installed several of the new WS-500 series switches into my networks and much to my surprise they are not supported by the CNA tool as the older 500 series were. I tried using the CCA tool, but my routers and legacy switches are not supported under it. One of the reasons I bought the Cisco switches in the first place is because I wanted to use one tool to manage all components in my network. I feel rather irked about what seems to be a purposeful hampering of functionality of the SMB line of equipment. Is there a management application that will allow me to manage all of my Cisco devices from the same console?

Deploying monitoring systems, typically in NOCs and maintaining them and creating modles of customer networks working with SNMP polling systems. Tools include applications like HP NNM, Netcool, Ciscoworks etc. How far would a career take you if specialising in this area? It seems like a diversion from the typical Routing/Switching side of networking. Not nessacarly from a technical perspective, how about networking? Ie; being exposed to migration/project teams who wanting to 'migrate' more hardware and sites to the care of the NOC, after the design teams have implemented them? This seems like a step towards the design side which in the long term I am wishing to get to.

I'm trying to add an extended ACL (120) to an 800 series router (887) using Network Objects to allow the management user IP range full access to IP services and restricted access to email only for standard user IP range. However as soon as I apply the ACL to the outbound of my Vlan no matter what is in the ACL my PC looses internet connectivity. I've tried adding an explict allow for my IP address and still no access so I'm thinking possible a NAT issue, please have a look at my attached config and let me know what you think. Would I be better trying to control data flow with ZBF? I want to restrict standard users to email access only during the work day with web access and IM access after hours along with blocking all P2P programs for standard users at any time. Management group will have unrestricted access to all IP protocols. My original plan was to use time based ACL's!

I would like to push route for admin services (Vlan20) to bypass the firewall via an other connection (CSI to CSE). So my first choice was to create a route-map in (CSI) but I don't know how to do it. On my Firewall ASA, I don't have any Context License, that is why I would like to do it like this.
I have included some part of my initial configuration CSI and CSE and diagram.

I just recently got out of school and started my first job in the IT field. I'm at a small company and part of a 2-man IT team.One of our current projects is to look into upgrading our software based firewall (ClearOS free version) for a better hardware one. I was wondering what would be some good options?Our company has around 120 users that access our network. We have one 10Mbps internet line that comes to our head office, and is then shared with our six other branches. We're hoping to just get one device we put at our head office.some of the nicer features we'd like are AD integration, usage reports by user, easy to use interface, spam-filtering, and ability to block specific applications on websites (eg, only chat on Facebook).

I'm putting together a design for a new office with the following requirements:
10 VPN users.For Ethernet – 24 ports POE 10/100/1000
Probably go with VZ FIOS so EthernetAbout 2000 square feet so 2 WAP's should do it I'm thinking a CISCO881W-GN-A-K9 ISR with a SRW224G4P-K9-NA switch should do the trick. This will give me an integrated AP but I need a second one. Do I need to order an autonomous one or does the 881W do some sort of WLC function?

I was pondering on getting a certificate fro ma public CA to maintain easier configuration for end users. There will be a multitude of devices on this wireless network configured with 802.1x PEAP. (iPhones, iPADs, Droids, and PC's of course).
If you were to get a certificate from a public CA, I'm assuming this would be just a regular server certificate from GoDaddy, or Verisgn?

After moving my PC for the 3rd over the past year ive decided that having a more wire-"less" option may be the better option as supposed my previous method of having a 10m ethernet cable from my switch to my PC. ive looked at two options, first the powerline HD (was drawn toward the belkin 1gigabit ones as i have a gigabit switch) or to remove the cable completely and using a USB wireless dongle (similar to the Edimax EW-7811UN Wireless 802.11b/g/n 150Mbps Nano USB Adaptor) . i havent had much experience with these USB wireless things as i used be put off by the compatibility and config (software stuff). i have a 3com wireless 54mbps.. PCI card but i cannot install the drivers for it on my xp 64bit machine.

So my router, the "Siemens Gigaset SE567", doesn't seem to want to allow me to access the router page.
Everywhere I've looked online tell me that the IP is http://192.168.1.254/ and default PW "default" and "telus". But no matter how many times I reset the router...going to http://192.168.1.254/ loads nothing.
The router SAYS Gigaset SE567 on it, and looks identical to the one in the picture...so theres no mistaking it for another router.

I brought a friend's computer home, thinking I could solve her problem but I'm at my wit's end. I cannot open Internet Explorer and Internet Options does not open from Control Panel. I followed other suggestions I found on your forum and on the net but nothing works. I cannot access the internet in any way (on that computer) and therefore cannot even supply you with a HiJack file. I tried several restore points and the only malware pgm on that computer is MalmareBytes (which found nothing). I cannot even run a anti-virus scan because that is no longer running - which is the reason I brougth her computer to my house in the first place. After several attempts of trying to open IE some times it stays open for a few seconds but most times it just flashes, then closes.

which option do you think is better? The idea is to use them as the core of the network,to route between several VLANs.
Options:
1 - Two 3560 with HSRP
2 - Two 3750 stacked with cross-stack etherchannel to the access switches

I recently upgraded an ASA 5505 that has the Advanced Endpoint Assessment License to 8.4(3) and ASDM 6.4(7). Now there are no options in ASDM for adding AV, Firewall or AntiSpyware versions and definition levels etc? I have checked Host Scan Extensions and enabled 'Advanced Endpoint Assessment ver 3.5.3.1' however when I click configure and attempt to add any AV etc there are none to select - the 'Add Products' box is just blank.I have AnyConnect 3.0.5075, CSD 3.6.4021 and have tried with the integrated AnyConnect Host Scan image and with the standalone Host Scan image (3.0.5077) and the behaviour is the same ?
