I have 6 cisco switches already on my network and I just got a 2960S PoE switch that I need to enable for VoIP. The voice vendor is coming in to setup our phone system for VoIP and I need to enable this new 2960S 48 port switch for the VoIP phones, I don't know how to do that, or other taskes needed for this project.
I was told that I need to uplink the new 2960S with the Catalysy 4507R using an ethernet cable and to "trunk the ports" and enable the 2960S as a VTP client - ok great - how?
I was told I also need to use the switch port voice VLAN command for the new VLAN - again, great - but how?
I actually was able to telnet into the switch and I gave it an IP and I created a new vlan but thats all. We are using non Cisco IP phones.
I read some papers about QoS. The thing is that I have to implement 30 switches with QoS to connect to a lot of Cisco IP phones. The switches are Cisco 2960S with code image "C2960S Software (C2960S-UNIVERSALK9-M), Version 12.2(55)SE3". Should I use autoQoS feature or manually configure them?. How should I treat uplinks between access switchs and core/distribution? I have a lot of doubts regarding queueing, because all the info I had read its for another model/image.
I have a cisco catalyst 2960-s PoE switch. I have a web access to the switch and am able to get statistics on each port. However, I am wondering if there is a way to have a diagram of the trafic on each port?
Also, what is the best way to monitor the trafic on a router ( i have a cisci 1811W)
One of our clients is replacing some of their aging network components with 4 Cisco 2960S switches. Unfortunately in this case, my skills of switch configuration are greater than my skills of network design. I have a really crude network diagram of their basic network layout (4 servers, 4 switches, and a number of endpoints).
How would you experts design the physical connections in such a way as to facilitate some redundancy?
I need to add two additional 2960S switches to my stack. I saw a diagram that showed how a 4 switch stack can be connected, but I couldn't find much detail on adding a switch to an existing stack (besides master election). The output below shows how the existing stack is connected and its state
SW#sh switch detail Switch/Stack Mac Address : 0011.2222.3333 H/W Current
[Code].....
I will need to break one of the stack rings between SW1 and SW2 in order to connect the new switches. Does it really matter which ring I break to connect the additional switches? Does one ring act as primary? If so, I'd rather not break that ring so this process is transparent as possible. Also, is there any benefit to disabling the stack port vs just disconnecting the cable?
I have to add a 2960s PoE switch to an existing stack of two 2960s PoE switches. If The new switch has no configuration on it and the existing stack is broken by pulling te stack cables and then new cables are added and everything re-cabled correctly will the new switch assume the configuration from the stack without any issues?
on my home network I currently only run an Airlink101 AR675W router. We have a couple issues with this. The router for one is in my basement and there are points in my house that have low signal strength, especially upstairs in the far corners of the home. Second is I am currently running my home PC as a media center but it is set-up wirlessly so streaming is clunky and jittery. Also on this network is 3 X-box's wired, a PS3 running wirless, 2 PC's wired in, 2 wirless laptops and the afore mentioned wirless PC. A lot of weight for the network. What I want to do is move the router upstairs, hardwire it into my wireless PC (the one doing the streaming) and connect a second router (an identical make and model I am buying this weekend) downstairs which will be basically used as an "expansion" of the wirless and a switch for the hardwired devices downstairs. would this be better than simply moving the wirless router upstairs (hardwiring my PC) and putting a 5 or 8 port switch in downstairs for the X-box's and 2 wired PC's there?
I have a 2960S Catalyst switch in my LAN, with the firewall and the servers in the same VLAN (vlan 3).All the servers and the firewall are in the vlan 3 are in the "192.168.19.0/24" subnet, the firewall has the IP "192.168.19.1".I can land on the firewall with a VPN (192.168.130.0/24) which has a complete view on the subnet 19/24.I can access, manage and get SNMP information of the Catalyst from the servers but I can't do the same from the VPN.Is there some feature I need to enable on the switch in order to allow 192.168.130.0/24 to access it?
recommendation for a PoE-compliant (802.3af) 10/100 ethernet switch suited for the following use. A client wants a separate [from their data] network dedicated to their new IP CCTV/IP Intercomm system (Stentofon ISO5 Cleanroom Certified). Total of 15 devices, all of which support PoE, 11 of which require it. The intercomm system will be the primary method of communication with personnel inside the clean space, so it must have minimum downtime.
1) 16x RJ45 (Only 15 devices -- anything over 16 ports is waste, SFP/expansion/combo ports not required)
We have a Cisco slm248gt-na smart switch in our office that I am trying to configure to support and optimize for VoIP. We have desktops hooked up off the phones in most cases. Are there any config guidelines to optimize the switch so it has proper QOS set and VoIP gets higher priority over data.
I am testing a ACS 5.2 in our lab environment, I am testing port security for policy based VLAN and ACL assignment. The problem I am having is with the 2960S switches; in my current setup it is working but it doesn't seem to me like it is the way that it should be working. I have a downloadable ACL in the ACS defined and associated to an Access policy and it is working correctly. The problem is, from what I understand, I have to assign a default ACL on the switchport? So what I have assigned on the switchport is ip access-group 10 in. The downloadable ACL from the ACS is also called 10. Do I really need to match the ACL on the switchport with the ACL name I have created in ACS? That doesn't seem like it's dynamic if that is the case? What is the ACL that I should apply to the switch port (if any) in order for the downloadable acls that I configure in the ACS to work no matter what port the user is patched into?
I have a running setup having 2 Cisco 2960s 24 TS switch with Stack configuration. Now I want to add one more same Cisco switch. My questions are:-
1) How can I do this...(Should follow the same process as I did before.
2) Could I do this without impacting the service. i.e. without rebooting the switch.
3) What should be the connection archiecture as of now since there is two switch so it is connected 1 -1 and 2-2. but for 3 switch should we require to change the connectivity.
I use the Switch 2960S support PoE and 10 access points cisco.I have one more question:
-- If all 10 access points cisco use copper cable to connect to 2960S, 5 access points use power adapter and 5 access points use power from Switch. How Switch 2960S will provide power for 10 AP or switch 2960S will understand and only provide power for 5 APs?
I've recently been looking into linking in our Cisco 2960S Gb Switch with RSA SecureID via Radius.I've already managed to link it in for ssh access
but I've not managed to get it working for http / web access to the switchI think this is because we're using "single use" tokens for maximum security with RSA Secure-ID and the web interface attempts to authenticate multiple times against the Radius part of the RSA SecureID server (okay on the first authentication, but each time after it's going to want a different token code)
(if there's a way to get the switch to just authenticate once instead of multiple times against the radius server) For info the switch is a WS-C2960S-24TS-L with IOS 15.0(1)SE2
We have a Cat2960-S Series PoE+ currently running 12.2(55) SE5 ios with SW image C2960S-UNIVERSALK9-M.We want to upgrade the ios to the lastest version but found there are 2 version: 12.2(53) SE2 and 15.0(1) SE.Which is the best & suitable for upgrade?
After i have already configured my cisco switch 2960 , i configured my console as the below [code] after i reboot my switch , i found that the switch asked me for username . However i did not configure username , how can i solve this problem , without password reset . I have already configured 15 switch , 100% this problem will be in all switches.
I have hybrid network in which I want to configure VLAN on Cisco 2960 S switch. I have unmanged switch where my DHCP server and other servers are connected. Now I created two VLANs on cisco 2960S and they don't talk each other, but as soon as I connect unmanaged switch to 2960S switch, both VLANs start communicating which I don't want. I want to listen server traffic from unmanaged switch from both VLANs but simultaneously I don't want to communication between two VLANs.
I have enabled syslog on my Cisco 2960S swtich as shown below -
-logging facility local6 -logging host 10.11.12.122 transport tcp port 514
I have sent the port to TCP since that is what is configured on the SYSLOG server which is a CENTOS 5.8, running rsyslogd.I have tested the rsyslogd locally and it work.However i want to send any and all log messages in the buffer to my syslog server and it is not working.there is no firewall on the CENTOS and the ASA firewall filter is enabled for outgoing traffic.
I have a problem with extending the LAN on a client site . They are looking to extend the LAN with a 2960S-series switch. Already in place is a 4510 switch which the 2960 is connected to via fibre. The 2 switches are both set up but there is no connectivity as I cant ping between them or anything. The management VLAN on the 2960 shows line up, protocol down, which I believe means the VLAN is enabled but there is a form of physical mismtach on the ports. I have attached the configs of both switches. I feel it might be a problem with GBIC module compatibility. The SFP installed on both ends of the switch are GLC-SX-MMD. On the 4510, the SFP sits in a twingig converter (CVR-X2-SFP) but there is no light on it at all when the cables are plugged in.
I am using 802.1x authentication with multi-domain ports; Phone and PC connected to phone. The phones are Nortel (Avaya) and the PCs are Dell/HP Laptops. All are configured for Certificate authentication and this works well. However we sometimes get some ports stuck in Guest mode. when a non certificated laptop connects to a phone port and fails authentication, the data port is placed in the Guest VLAN. However when the laptop disconnects the port isn't reset and remains in the guest state. When a subsequent good laptop connects and attempts to authenticate the switch ignores this and leaves the data port in the Guest VLAN. he switch is a 2960S with Version 12.2(58)SE2 IOS.
The port is configured as follows:
! interface GigabitEthernet1/0/15 description DANS Port switchport access vlan 1807 switchport mode access switchport voice vlan 1855 priority-queue out
[code]....
I placed the AAA, dot1x, eap and auth debug on for all events and then connected a good laptop, the only debug message I got were as follows:
Mar 19 16:17:01.391 GMT: AUTH-EVENT (Gi1/0/15) dot1x_switch_is_restrictive_vlan_open_auth:Multi-Host with Guest Vlan/Auth Fail Vlan or open aut Mar 19 16:17:01.653 GMT: AUTH-EVENT (Gi1/0/15) dot1x_switch_is_restrictive_vlan_open_auth:Multi-Host with Guest Vlan/Auth Fail Vlan or open aut Mar 19 16:17:02.654 GMT: AUTH-EVENT (Gi1/0/15) dot1x_switch_is_restrictive_vlan_open_auth:Multi-Host with Guest Vlan/Auth Fail Vlan or open aut
[code]....
I would have expected the auth function to have reacted to the EAP packets sent by the good client when it connected and performed eap authentication but it didn't, all it did was say the ports in Guest mode and left the laptop in this VLAN.
I have a stack of 2960S (c2960s-universalk9-mz.122-55.SE2.bin) and the master has failed (used to have a priority of 14). The second switch has become master (priority 1) as can be seen below: [code]
If I connect a new blank 2960S (same IOS) through the stack ports, will the master sync its config to the new one without causing problems?As I understand the new blank switch will also have a priority of 1 and will by default be numbered as 1. So if the config is correctly synced and I later on want to make switch 1 the master, I need to set the priority: [code]
im having this strange issue where everytime i plug in a voip phone to my 3550 the switch disconnects another voip phone.then to fix the disconnected phone (7940) i need to power off the phone 5-10 minutes then power it on again.
but the strange thing is, once i have to do that to fix the phone and connect the phone back to the switch, the port link is up, but no macs are seen on that port.
I have a live 28port Catalyst 2960S switch. By live I mean that there is an essential piece of equipment plugged into this switch that can suffer little to no downtime. Over the course of time the number of devices patched into this location has increased to exceed the 24 ports available and we have had to resort to adding unmanaged switches to fill the need. We have acquired an additional 2960 & stacking modules that I would like to stack together, keeping the existing switch as the master. It is my understanding that the stacking modules are hot-swappable and that this member switch can be added without bringing the master switch down, thus creating zero down time for the financial server that is connected.
The steps I believe that need to be followed are as such: write mem to existing switch and backup to our TFTP serverinstall the stack module in the existing (while powered up) and new (while powered down)place the 2 redundant FlexStack link cables on both switchesthen simply power the member switch on After boot the member switch will get it's OS and configuration from the master and I can begin moving CAT5 cables from the unmanaged switches to the stack.
I have a Cisco 2960S stack and I'd like to tune the timers so that packet loss is minimal if a switch fails.To simulate a failed switch I have reloaded it while running a continuous ping to a management address on the stack's SVI: [code] As I see the same results when a ping is directed through the single switch (switched), and through the firewall (routed), I'm inclined to think that this is due to the stack failover timers on the Catalyst 2960S.Is it possible to change the stack failover timers (i.e hold down, failover etc), to speed up the failover process?
We have a Cisco 1522 ap bridge running on a controller and we want to create a wireless bridge from the Cisco AP to a Mikrotik SXT5HPND wireless router to a cisco 2960s switch
How to bridge a cisco device with a mikrotik device, but there are plenty who do mikrotik to mikrotik bridging..
I have several 2960s and 3750s and two 6506 (ws-cac-3000w) recently move to new location The power outlet is the same ,but Volt is different current 2960/3750 use this(one phase 3 wire) 220v and new location change to (from 3 phase 4 wire -> one phase 220v)6506 current using(one phase 3 wire) and will be change to (from 3 phase 4 wire -> one phase 220v)
I had search doc about power supply /cable , only show support single phase 220 v ,but not description vlot between each wire !!Does new location power outlet suit for 2960/3750s power and 6500 ws-cac-3000w ?!? Do I need chane power outlet back to current using?
I've added a number of switches to NCS and some of the switches had the wrong snmp communities, etc so weren't added as switches but instead were put under unknown devices.
I've corrected the information for each unknown device and am now seeing the following inventory status:1951799867 (IP: 10.243.26.22) will not have its features collected due to , device SPT_ONLY
They're still unknown devices and there seems to be no way to get them to show up as switches.I've tried to remove these devices but without success (despite a message appearing below the devices I tried to remove saying "Selected device(s) removed successfully.")
I have a new Cisco 2960 S series switch with a basic configuration that needs to be uplinked or daisy chained to a Cisco 3750 switch. I am not getting any connectivity to the network with either a straight through or crossover cable. the port remains in amber but a 'show interface' indicates that the interface is up. I can manage the switch with a PC patched into any port on the switch with a static IP address. Must be something very simple that I am missing. Outlined below is the configuration.
I have 1 computer, desktop, and would like to hook up a wireless to use for phone and kindle,etc. Question is shoud I use a switch or router? I have a netgear fs105 and hooked it up but was told it's not wireless (that's how much I know). Have Vista. and dsl.
