Cisco Application :: ACE SM Indexing In A Catalyst 6500 VSS Environment
Mar 7, 2013
I was asked to mount ACESMs on each of the CAT6K switches of a VSS cluster (one ACESM on each individual switch).On a non-VSS environment, the "svclc module <slot> vlan-group <group>" command is used to bind the VLAN group to the module on a certain slot. But now I am facing a VSS scenario, I will need to combine switch and slot in order to reference each of the individual modules...
How do I "index" each of the ACESMs in a VSS cluster? ¿Is there an extension of the aforementioned command to be able to combine switch and slot information?
Are there any best practices for preventative maintenance on Catalyst Chassis switches. Looking to build a PMI schedule for a customer. Or is there evidence not to perform it at all. Things like re-seating line cards, cleaning fan exhausts, etc.
I have a 1TB hard drive connected to my N600DB that I use as a media server to my kids Xbox... My problem is that I use this drive to back up all my data from my laptop, including movies, pictures and music. I only want to share the movies... I have over 5000 pictures alone so my router never gets to index all the movies I want to share..
I have 2x6500s series catalyst core switch. i configurated vss. all them are working normal. but i have one problem. some of my servers link is down sometimes. I configurated server links as etherchannel.at etherchannel not both of links down only one link down.this modules i used to connect servers to core switch. modules 3 and 7 slot.
Two days ago, a brilliant guy inserted a different ios in a Cisco Catalyst 6500 and erased the original ios. I have twice downloaded the original ios by xmodem (too much time!) and both of them, when I reload the 6500, it doesn't work: I have the following message:
loadprog: bad file magic number: 0x0 boot:cannot load "bootdisk:s72033-ipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-18.SXF11.bin"
Second time, when the ios uploaded, I checked the sup-bootdisk: and the flashboot: and both have the wrong ios listed, but it wasn't there: I've tried to delete it and squeeze it, but had a message saying "can't delete because the ios is not there" or something like this. I finished formatting both (flashboot: and sup-bootdisk:), tftp the ios, double-checked the bootloader, compared with other identical 6500 and reloaded again, just to find the same message I've written before.
Supervisor 720 PFC3B. Slots for disk0 and disk1 are broken or I can't read them from the rommon.
We are facing an issue with the NAM3.Version: 5.1(2-patch4)
we can not login using the GUI. when we try to login we are getting the following warning:
Initializing database. Please wait until initialization process finishes.(see attachment)
we have rebooted the NAM3 module but the issue is not solved. the NAM3 module is running on 6500 Series Switch.(Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Network Analysis Module (NAM-3)
i have a question regarding egress queuing on cat6500 modules. e.g. WS-X 6704 has 1p7q4t is egress-modell. my goal is to limit the priority queue to 15% of the available bandwidth. i can put weights on the wrr-queues and limit their ressources: "wrr-queue bandwidth 50 20 15 0 0 0 0." but this isn´t possible for the priority-queue. only available command is "priority-queue queue-limit 15" but this only restricts the buffer to 15%.
at the end of the day i want to prevent that the wrr-queues don´t have remaining bandwidth when the priority-queue is saturated.
is there an easy way to restrict the bandwidth of the priority queue or do i have to implement additionally some kind of policing?
Does SIP-401 module for 12000 series router supports LI IOS software, or that function can be activated only with sip-600. Can I run Lawfull Interception with sip-401 module on 12406 router ??
and can SIP-200 module for Catalyst 6500 run lawfull interception ios and be used for that purpose ???
We have cisco ace 30 modules installed in cisco 6500 switches. For application availability purpose from the internet, we need to have some global site selector/3rd party devices with similar feature set that of cisco gss.
whether cisco ace is compatible to ge tintegrated with other 3rd party devices like F5 GTM?
I set up Catalyst6500 Quad-SUP VSS system.I have a problem with slow BGP convergence(80sec) on VSS switchover.Each chassis has a bgp peer and "bgp graceful-restart" is disabled.I investigated BGP behavior with "debug ip bgp events" and "debug ip bgp update".I found that BGP process waited a peer to reply until timeout and after the timeout BGP table was calculated.I guess this timer makes the convergence slow.How can I adjust this timer value ?
What is used DDR memory on DFC on linecards for Cisco 7600 or Catalyst6500? I thought that DFC has copy of TCAMs from PFC. That PFC only has TCAMs, and it doesn't have DRAM on itself?
I've been said that if I have full BGP table in memory on supervisor on 6500 (that should be DRAM on RP on MSFC) that I also need 1GB additional memory on DFC on linecards? Is this true? But that should implied that DFC also has copy from MSFC not only from PFC, is this correct?
I have ACE10-6500-K9 installed in 6513 core switch with below mentioned sh version.
Software loader: Version 12.2[121] system: Version A2(2.0) [build 3.0(0)A2(2.0)] system image file: [LCP] disk0:c6ace-t1k9-mz.A2_2_0.bin
[Code].....
I want to know that can i upgrade ACE10-6500-K9 to c6ace-t1k9-mz.A5_1_0 i.e version5 ? I tried to search cisco website but could not get proper upgrade or user guide.
I have installed ANM 5.2 virtual appliance.I have an issue importing a Catalyst 6500 device.When I try to import it, I get the following error: Device discovery failed: Cannot communicate to the device.Authentication failure while attempting to connect. Verify the device type and credentials. I double verified and the credentials are correct.I user SSH version 2.I use the following special carachters in the password: "!" and space.I don't use enable password to connect to the 6500 device. The 6500 device has a privilege 15 username.In ANM, the enable password is a requirement so I just fill in the regular password.I think the issue is appearing due to one of the following:
1.) The ANM does not support the special carachters I use in the 6500 password.
2.) Then ANM requires enable password, while I don't use enable password in the 6500 switch.
The 6500 runs SXI6 software version.I can't configure an enable password or configure a test username without special carachters beacause it's against the organization's policy.
I have done this in the past but I cannot find it anywhere......how do you display the uptime of a CSM module in a 6500? The chassis has an uptime of over 2 years, but I believe the CSM module was power cycled at some point within that 2 years and I need to find out if we may be running in to the bug that occurs after 828days of uptime. We are running 4.2(6) on the CSM and 12.2(18)SXF1 IOS on the SUP.

I got problem with wake on LAN software.. The software unable to ON all pc's remotely if sitting under different vlan. Everything is ok if using the same vlan. Below are the network diagram & switch configuration.
Layer 3 switch Intervlan routing configuration
ip forward-protocol udp 7 ! interface Vlan4 description vlan Client-WOL ip address 172.22.51.253 255.255.254.0 ip access-group Deny_HTTP_Vlan1 in ip helper-address 172.20.1.246
[code].....
After configured all the switches with the above setting, the software still cannot wake all the pc's using LAN. Base on sniffing, i can't find UDP port usage by the software. Attached here with print screen from wireshark.
1. We now have SupA & SupB in the chassis, due to some mistake we have same IOS version but different feature set on them, although we configured redundancy mode sso, in the "show redundancy" we see Operating Redundancy Mode = rpr due to Software mismat, we now need to fix them as same feature set image, if I use "copy sup-bootdisk0:/xxxx slavesup-bootdisk0:/xxx", then write memory, does this cause any service/network interuption?
Available system uptime = 1 year, 1 week, 4 days, 9 hours, 21 minutes Switchovers system experienced = 2 Standby failures = 0 Last switchover reason = active unit removed
[code]....
2. We did a failover test with this status, found that if we triggered supervisor failover, all modules will reload thus the services if interupped. How about after we make the Operating Redundancy Mode as sso, will this behaviour shows again? Or a stateful failover will happens, then modules no need reload?
3. We are using OSPF as our L3 routing protocol, after reference to the configuration, nsf should be enabled, we want to ask in the OSPF-domain nsf should be configured in all OSPF-enabled router or only 6500 which have dual-sup?
4. We also found that the interfaces(3 * Gig & 2 * TenG) in Standby supervisor cannot be use even enabled & configured, is it because we are running rpr mode now or will be the same even change to sso? Before customer have some older supervisor in 6500 non-e chassis, and they can use the standby supervisor interfaces as traffic forwarding, they use rpr-plus mode before, how about in sso mode?
"How to display the EOBC error counters in the Catalyst 6500 series switches and a definition of the EOBC interface" document here on support forum stays that The Ethernet Out of Band Channel (EOBC) is a half duplex channel that services many functions, which include the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and the packets that are destined for the switch.
Previously i were thinking that EoBC used only for SCP and SLP protocol. In addition i found other article (but not on cisco site, heh) where stays that The Results bus is a control plane, while the C (EoBC) bus is more of an "admin plane", thus you will never see data packets (such as CDP, SNMP, etc.) going over the R or C bus.
So there is a big contradiction between those two statements. How to prove one of those and if first one right, what meaned under the packets that are destined for the switch in it? SCP and SLP or other traffic as well?
I am migrating services from SUP720-3B to VS-SUP2T-10G= and moving to a VSS configuration between a pair of Cat6506 distribution layer switches. I need to enable QoS on these switches, primarily to trust dscp and also to prioritise voice traffic. The autoqos feature works for some ports but does not work on port-channel interfaces and port-channel member interfaces. How can I apply the qos settings for these interfaces in line with what auto qos would normally provide. My line cards are as follows:
Civic_6506VSS#sho mod Mod Ports Card Type Model Serial No. --- ----- -------------------------------------- ------------------ ----------- 1 4 CEF720 4 port 10-Gigabit Ethernet WS-X6704-10GE
we have applied route-map on vlan interface in the form:
ip access-list extended TEST permit ip 172.16.1.128 0.0.0.127 172.16.0.0 0.0.255.255 route-map TEST permit 10 match ip address TEST set ip next-hop 172.16.111.1 interface Vlan11 ip policy route-map TEST
The problem is in the traffic matching by the rule - there is matches not only for 172.16.0.0/16 prefixes but for the whole traffic in that VLAN.
The diagram below is the configuration we are looking to deploy, that way because we do not have VSS on the 6500 switches so we can not create only one Etherchannel to the 6500s.Our blades inserted on the UCS chassis have INTEL dual port cards, so they do not support full failover.
Questions I have are.
- Is this my best deployment choice? - vPC highly depend on the management interface on the Nexus 5000 for the keep alive peer monitoring, so what is going to happen if the vPC brakes due to: - one of the 6500 goes down - STP? - What is going to happend with the Etherchannels on the remaining 6500? - the Management interface goes down for any other reason - which one is going to be the primary NEXUS?
Below is the list of devices involved and the configuration for the Nexus 5000 and 65000.
Devices
· 2 Cisco Catalyst with two WS-SUP720-3B each (no VSS) · 2 Cisco Nexus 5010 · 2 Cisco UCS 6120xp · 2 UCS Chassis - 4 Cisco B200-M1 blades (2 each chassis) - Dual 10Gb Intel card (1 per blade)
Cisco Catalyst 6509 with Sup720-10GE IOS 12.2(33)SHX7. There are around 30 L3 vlans configured on the switch. I'm only interested for the traffic on one L3 vlan which is the connection to wan cloud.
I wanna see only the traffic that goes to and come from the wan. On other Catalyst where I have routed interfaces i successfully configured netflow. I read a lot in the forums and documentations but i didn't find the right one.

First of all, I want you to know that I do understand that it's not a good design at all, but I still need to implement it.My ACE20 in 6500 works in routed mode with VLAN 101 (10.0.101.0/24) as the client-side VLAN. I therefore have Vlan101 SVI (10.0.101.1/24) on 6500.I also have VLAN 200 (10.0.200.0/24) on 6500 with SVI Vlan200 (10.0.200.1/24) and I want to create a static bidirectional NAT so that clients, connecting to IP address in VLAN 200 (10.0.200.64) would be NATed to VIP (10.0.101.10).Let's say we have clients (10.0.500.0/24) connecting through gig1/0/1.Here is my current setup on 6500.
When we do self diagnostic test for WAE connected to the 6500 switch i get warning as below. Due to this alert there is no major acceleration benfits by the WAAS
Test WARN [tfo] WARN ASYMMETRIC Asymmetric routing is seen in the device Action: Check router's network configuration and WCCP redirection on the router.usevwa1#
6509 switches has only L2 capability and does not do WCCP redirection. The WCCP re-direction is done by 2821 routers.Is there any command which needs to be given in 6500 switch to solve the issue
