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.
View 1 RepliesI came across this Multichassis EtherChannel Features when read about information from Cisco Smart Business Architecture.After checking further, knowing that Cataly stwitch 6500 supports this feature.provide information that beside Catalyst 6500, is there any other model of Catalyst switch can support this feature?

We are preparing to install a new switching Infrastructure at one of our sites. We have decided that we want to have two separate chassis as a core. My original idea was to purchase 2 - 4500 chassis and install 10Gb and 1GB line cards in each and use STP and HSRP to load balance between the two cores.
We had also contacted a vendor for thier recommendations and they came back with 2 6500 Chassis running VSS. I reviewed what VSS was as I had never heard of it and it looks to me basically to be real close to the same thing as Stacking. I didn't really want to have stacked Cores because I would like to have the flexibility to be able to take one core out and update the software or image, reboot, and such without effecting anything on the network. I can do that with the non-VSS approach but it looks like that would be more of a problem with VSS.
My question is, how to use VSS with the 6500's? How to take one of the VSS pairs off line and not effect normal network operations?
I am trying to setup the WOL for our enterprise. We have a C4500 setup with mutliple Vlans. We are using Microsoft SCCM server to wake up workstations for security update. The workstations are on vlan190 and the Microsoft server is on vlan 441

View 7 Replies View RelatedI've two Cisco 4500 running as core switches for huge and complex network. The two 4500 are going to act as dhcp server for several subnets. The easiest solution would be to split each DHCP pool in two, and assign the first half of the pool to one of the core switch and the second half of the pool to the second core switch. This would be a partial solution since if one of the two fails, the second core switch would not have enough dhcp leases available for all the devices connected for each subnet.For such a reason, I'm wondering if it the 4500 switches support a stateful redundant DHCP servers, so that the two switches can synchronize their DHCP lease tables. If this feature is available, I could define the same pools for both the switches without the risk of having duplicate ip addresses within the network.

View 4 Replies View Relatedis it possible to run a Catalyst 4500 as pure Layer 2 Switch, i.e. disabling "ip routing", but still managing the switch via Fa1, i.e. the defautl mgmtVrf vrf ?I tried the following:
!
no ip routing
!
interface FastEthernet1
ip vrf forwarding mgmtVrf
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
!
ip route vrf mgmtVrf 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.254
ip default-gateway 192.168.1.254
I was not able to reach the Switch even from the same subnet. Only after enabling ip routing I could manage the Switch. I haven't found any command to set ip default-gateway for a vrf. Any workaround to keep routing disabled, but still manageable via VRF?
I was reading the documentation of the Catalyst 4500-X for creating VSS and MEC (multichassis etherchannel).In the VSS specific part, it's written"Cisco Release IOS XE 3.4.0SG does not support Layer 3 MEC".
Can I still use VlanX interfaces ad route through them?In my setup I only have IP addresses assigned to vlanX interfaces (with some VRF-lite magic)[code] Does that sentence only mean that I can't have IP assigned directly to the MEC?
How can I find out the firmware versions for IOS, modules and components of Cisco catalyst 4500 series switch. I can see the firmware version of IOS in show version command but how can I find it out for the modules or components of the switch.

View 6 Replies View RelatedWe want to filter IP traffic by MAC address on Catalyst 4500. Since we are using bonding (active-backup mode) we need those mac addresses appear on different ports. Below are solutions that we have tried: ACL but it does not work since mac acls only match non ip traffic (We CAN NOT use ip acl). Use a static mac address-table entry to ALLOW specific mac addresses. It does not work either since the same MAC address needs to be seen on a different port. Catalyst 4500 does not support auto-learn option (as e.g. Nexus 5000).
View 3 Replies View RelatedI found a bug in Embedded Event Manager, on Catalyst 4500-E platform with supervisor V-10GE, on various IOS releases (in particular 12.2-50-SG IP BASE w/o crypto, 12.2-54-SG1 IP BASE w/o crypto, but also other releases included latest 15.0-2-SG1 ENTERPRISE SERVICES SSH).The problem is that when you set up a EEM applet that monitors syslog pattern matching, and you also configure remote host logging *with* the option "sequence-num-session", when the match occurs, the switch reboots with message:
Sw (sometimes prints a number instead)
VECTOR D00
and in some cases performs a second reboot with message:
VECTOR 0
DOUBLE FAULT
The reload reason message is:
System returned to ROM by abort at PC 0x0
The problem does *not* occur if remote logging has not the option "sequence-num-session". I verified this behavior on various configurations (included our production 130K long *and* factory defaults after erase startup-config).The configuration statements that cause reload are, for expample:
event manager applet prova
event syslog pattern %SYS-5-CONFIG_I
action 1.0 puts "configurazione modificata"
