Configuring a network with Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol. There's a combination of Cisco 3650s, 2950 and 2960 switches. It is a flat Layer 2 network with a single VLAN. CLI configuration?

I need to recover switch enable password, i have already configured AAA also, when i am tryig to follow below proceedure finally saying Authorization failed. how can i recover enable password,If I try to recover password like this description says [URL]
Step 1 Connect a terminal or PC with terminal-emulation software to the switch console port.
Step 2 Set the line speed on the emulation software to 9600 baud.
Step 3 Power off the switch. Reconnect the power cord to the switch and, within 15 seconds, press the Mode button while the System LED is still flashing green.
Base ethernet MAC Address: 00:0x:xx:xx:xx:xx
Xmodem file system is available.
The password-recovery mechanism is enabled.
The system has been interrupted prior to initializing the flash filesystem. The following commands will initialize the flash filesystem, and finish loading the operating system software:
flash_init
load_helper
boot

Im trying to determine the serial number of Gbics already installed and running on a Catalyst 2950 switch. Is there a specific command to do so? There is a command on Catalyst 4506 that gives all info regarding the Gbic ("show idprom interface gi 1/1") Is there something equivalent for 2950?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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.
My switches is still operating but when i ping the switch, there isn't any reply. No icmp reply from catalyst 2950 switch

Currently I'm with a pure Cisco shop, running every LAN Switched infrastructure (even in the HQ datacenter) with PVST+, I'm noticing in the documentation I've read and labs I've created that RSTP is... great, and I've observed that even the uplinkfast functionality seems to be build in by just enabling rapid-pvst. Of course I'll propose a migration plan, document the network, diagram it entirely and provide effective steps to implement the change, but that's assumed from any get'go.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI need to setup a layer 2 network consisting of 14 switches interconnected in a ring. Obviously, the design of 14 switches in a ring network is dumb, not here to debate that. Unfortunately, it HAS to be a ring. I've been researching the best way to configure RSTP for this. From everything I've read all I really need to do is configure Primary/Secondary root bridge in the center, and change the Maximum Age field to at least 16 seconds? From what I've read you want a minimum of 3 second buffer + 1 second for each hop due to message age being added by each switch hop?
View 8 Replies View Relatedi have some ME-3600x. some of version 12.2 and one of version 15.5. te last one hast same config as all other. but if i check for rstp it sends.i know abount global config commands:
-spanning-tree mode rapid-pvst
-spanning-tree extend system-id
but there is no spanning-tree support. this causes many more problems. so it is important to solve spanning tee at first.is it possible without downgrading this device?
My entire switching network is enabled RSTP and I have purchased a new cisco 3560X series switch and I have not found RSTP feature in my switch.Is it available if I change the image? will cisco switches supports RSTP?

When I plug in a workstation to 3750 switch - it seems to take about 35 seconds before that workstation (hard coded IP) can ping the switch. You can see the console messages below. I configured RSTP and set this switch to root:

I have a 7609 with two LAG groups (Etherchannel not LACP) going to two separate devices that DO NOT participate in spanning-tree (Occam gear if you must know). I'm running 802.1w across the LAG groups but the convergence time is terrible! In essence, the 7609 is running spanning tree against itself (between the two blades). What can I do to fix my configuration?
If I disable the ports on the equipment connected to g1/17 & g1/18, it takes ~30 seconds for spanning tree to start forwarding on g2/17 & g2/18.When I bring the ports back up on the other side of g1/17 & g1/18 which are in a lag group, g2/17 & g2/18 immediately go into block mode while g1/17 & g1/18 start learning for another ~30 seconds!!

RSTP port role in the switches are flapping if broadcast data is flowing through the ring. Also I've tried applying broadcast suppression to all the port to 64kbps for ports of 100Mbps/1Gbps, All the devices I'm using are L2 switches.

I have set spanning-tree portfast default on the 4948's. Is it proper to set my uplinks on these switches (g1/1) to shared or does that disable RSTP?
Switch 1 & 2 are 4948's running 12.2(54)
Switch 1 & 2 are connected on port 43
Switch 1 port 1 is connected to the 7609 12.2(33) SRD5 on port g1/2 Switch 2 port 1 is connected to the 7609 on port g2/2
I have a host on Switch 1 port 42 for testing.
We have installed last Network Assistant version, 5.6(3), but we can't add any switch to it.... It says always "Unsopported Device type: unknown".Our switches are all 2950, 2960 and 2970 models.
View 4 Replies View Relatedin the last days i'm encountering some issue about ping on some 2950 access layer.These ones are directly connect (fiber trunk) to 4500 core switches. Ping response is very high between 200 up to 600 ms for a period about 30-40 seconds, then returns to normal valueI tried to ping every host connected to this 2950 and ping responses are normal 1ms or less.
View 7 Replies View RelatedTelco provided a BGP connection on MPLS network. When I connect router directly to Telco switch I can see BGP neighbor, so my router BGP config is OK. However, I need to put this router in a diffferent building and want to bring the connection over on a "trunk"; now I loose the BGP neighbor. I'm sure I did this before and it worked OK. I'm trunking between 2 x2950 switches using this config on each switch. [code]
I also configured the trunk as vlan 1214, which is the encapsulation provided by the Telco (dot1Q 1214).
Is it possible to run VTP V3 on 2950 and 2960 switches. If so what version of IOS supports V3? Our 2960s are running 12.2(25r)SEE1, and 2950s are running 12.1(22)EA4a. Neither of which supports v3.

In ROMmon after the transfer completes text shows up as gibberish, commands seem to work. Text is normal after I reconnect. Dir flash: doesn't show any sys image, only a -rwx file. I have tried various IOS versions. This was purchased used, so it's possible it isn't working. This is my first time configuring a switch, I might have missed something simple.
