Cisco Switches :: SGE2000 Not Recognized By Network Assistant
Oct 18, 2012
I'm trying to get a network of SGE2000 switches mapped into Cisco network assistant.It always comes back with the device type unknown and status unsupported device.Is there a way to fix this ? I'm using Cisco network assistant ver.5.7(6)
Is there any management software as the Cisco Network Assistant for smb switch as SLM224G or SRW224G4-K9-NA, or only works with models 2960 and higher?
I have a Campus LAN setup which is layed out using Cisco SRW2024 and SGE2000 SB switches. On the LAN we are running various services. These are CCTV, VOIP(SIP), Public Address(multicasting) and Internet hotspots to various locations. I have attached a layout of the setup. A unique VLAN is setup for each of these services.The problem we have is that the PA audio is breaking up at intervals making the output distorted this is also happening for the SIP phones within the facility. Using the user guide we have tried to setup QoS on the system but we seem not to improve the services.
I'm having trouble getting a stack of three sge2000 switches to connect together and NOT reboot.Two of the switches are older Linksys sge2000s and they stack well together, but as soon as i connect the new Cisco sge2000, it will make them both reboot sequentially, even though it detects that it needs to be #3 in the stack.SW 1 port 24 is connected to SW 2 port 12 and they function correctly (both of the linksys switches). The documentation states they should be connected in a ring topology so I first tried completing the loop with SW3 (the newer cisco sge2000). When that had the aforementioned troubles I just connected SW2 port 24 to SW3 port 12. Still forcing the switches to reboot.I SUSPECT it may be a firmware/software issue, but I wanted to check if they'ed even work together.
I'm having trouble in connecting a SG 300 switch with CCA v3.2. I have already connected the switch with CCA, however I can't see anything in my CCA's Front Panel and Topology view. Here is the view of my Front Panel view after I connect the switch ?
configure a secondary ip address (over the same address range) in a vlan interface on the SGE2000?For example, I want Interface Vlan 10 on mw switch has 172.16.10.1/24 and 172.16.10.2/24. Is that possible? If I try I get an error message with a duplicate IP address error. On Catalyst switches it can be done, but on Small Business?
DHCP Relay on a SGE2000 switch.I have configured two VLANs on the switch, VLAN2 (192.168.10.x/24) and VLAN3 (192.168.9.x/24). I have the switch in Layer 3 mode. I have configured the DHCP relay server of 192.168.10.4 and the DHCP Interfaces as VLAN3. All of the IP Static Routes were generated by the switch.
If I put a client computer on a port that is Untagged VLAN 3 and try to get a DHCP address from the server on an Untagged VLAN 2 port I never get a response back.I have done some packet captures and here is what I have found:
I see the DHCP broadcast on the client computerI see the DHCP Request on the DHCP server coming from the IP assiged to the switch on VLAN 3 (192.168.9.254)I see the DHCP server respond with a DHCP OfferThe DHCP offer never gets to the client computer I can't seem to get a DHCP address to any system not on the same VLAN as the DHCP server. Option 82 is disable and I did try enabling it, which made no difference.
Does the SGE2000 supports NetFlow? I've checked the Cisco docs and also called Cisco support to which no one has been able to answer me.
Anyhow, just in case it doesn't support NetFlow, how to be able to set up something that would be able to check the bandwidth usage on each port?
I've got a problem where I think the SGE2000 switch is failing when I pump around 190~200Mbps through x2 of the ports (Server A on port 1=130Mbps and Server B on port 2=60Mbps) of Multicast traffic (UDP). I can measure the output from the Streaming servers that provide the multicast content, thats how I know the input to the switch and I know that there are no packets lost or any errors departing from the servers, yet when I increase server B to say 80Mbps, I get break up and all sorts of problems on the client end STBs and it is happening on the multicast content provided by Server A too which is a different source, so I'm 99.9% sure its a SGE2000 switch problem which is why I'd like to monitor it somehow.
I´ve got a strange problem with the connectivity within a ring topology.There are five switches from the SGE2000 series and one SG200-50.The SG200-50 is the root bridge and RSTP is configured.From the root bridge switch (Switch 5) I can ping Switch 0.But I cannot ping Switch 0 from PC0.
On the other hand I am able to ping all other Switches (1-5) from PC0.In addition to that I can establish a RDP connection from PC0 to Server0.This tells me that there is no general problem with the connection from PC0 to the Switch0.
Right now when I want to configure Switch0 the only way is to connect to Server0 first.But we have to move Server0 and this is why I want to manage Switch0 from PC0 like any other Switch on that network.
We have a couple of cisco SGE switches connected to a single DELL, between the cisco switches we have a trunk interface. I'm not sure which setting should be configured on the switches to get it working because a loop is occuring.
I currently am using the SGE2000 switches for our datacentre and they have run great. We are looking at replacing them as part of our normal equipment refresh and have questions about what is the best switch for us. We are looking at upgrading to at least 48 port switches which isn't a huge issue.The main purposes of the switches will be for iSCSI traffic between Starwind SANs and Vsphere 5.1 hosts. We had some latency issues with one of the SGE2000s but otherwise they've been great.
We also will use these switches to handle our feeds from our ISP and our normal interserver communications. We have had DDoS attacks in the past of 40k packets per second and 600mbps and the SGE2000 never even flinched. We don't need it for any layer3 routing (which we use virtualized PFsense for). Looking at the Miercom report the SG200 series looks like it would be fine for us but I'm just worried around the part which mentions it becoame unresponsive in a DoS attack and also whther it may be slower for iSCSI. Both series seem to support flow control and jumbo frames.
I have a Linksys SGE2000 Switch and I've been trying to get Vlan's to work.How I'm trying to setup is like this
Port 1 - Vlan22 - Plugged into trusted port in firewall Port 3 - Vlan25 - Plugged into DMZ in firewall Port 15 - is plugged into a VMWare host. The network is setup as production is Vlan 22, DMZ is Vlan 25. Port 16 - Internal server so is Vlan 22
Both Vlans have a different IP subnet.I think I have port 3 configured ok as it's only one Vlan. I'm trying to get Port 15 configured properly and it won't work.Servers on VMWare hosts are Windows Server O/S.
We have been set the task of securing a small managed office system which is currently set up with a standard switch allowing each of the offices (containing different companies) to see each other, and in some cases, access each others documents across the network.
Obviously this is a far from adequate set up and our aim is to isolate each office using VLAN's but share a common internet connection provided by the managed offices. We have two Cisco SGE2000-G5 layer 3 switches but we are new to Cisco equipment and VLAN's so we are not quite sure on how to implement this. DHCP would need to be provided by a Router, there is no Server. We are open to suggestions on the Router as we have yet to purchase one.
We've been trying to monitor the used bandwidth of our SGE2000 and SGE2010 switches with Nagios.We've been experimenting with the various OIDs and we've found the OIDs linked to the different switchports.
Though when we use SNMPWalk (to find the OIDs connected to the port) the names of the ports are all the same.
[code]....
Is there a way to change the names of these interface to unique names?We've already given unique names in the description field through the switch's GUI, but it doesn't make any difference for Nagios.
We lost connectivity to the web user interface - it no longer responds on the configured IP address.From the manual we see that by default the switch get its IP address via DHCP - but we find no record of any ip address assigned to this switch.Is there a IP address that this unit defaults to when DHCP is not available? Also - what is the best way to connect to the console using Windows 7?
The switch sge2000-g5 a small business switch, has a redundant power supply port built in the switch. It is a port that handles a 12v power supply. My problem is to find the exact device to supply the power to this port so I can have, obviously, a redundant power in my switch. This switch is actually out of production.
i have managed to create a community of cisco devices however although i can add the pix to the community it does not show up in the topology? HTTPS is enable. I can also access the pix via ASDM.
I'm experiencing considerable difficulties with CNA and my 4948E cat's. Front panel view, vLans and VTP utterly fail...and I have gone to GREAT lengths. I initially configured them all for comprehensive use in a vSphere environment. Storage switch fabric and multi-vlan guest networking. I wiped the config's across the board, factory reset all of them in an attampt to get CNA working. NO GO and it's been wildly frustrating, 80+ hrs spent with no results.
So is CNA truely compatible with the 4948e? And if so, WHAT IN THE **** AM I DOING WRONG!!?!?!?!!!!!?

When I first launch the application, it promots for CCO login information, but then tells me the username or password is invalid. I reset it once, and it appeared to work. Next time I launched the application though, it gave me the same login error and did not store any of the device credentials. This is a new install of CNA and it just has one community setup on it now. I've tried 2 different CCO accounts and they both give the same login failure. I know the passwords I'm using are correct though.
Since I updated a Catalyst 2960 switch to IOS version 12.2(55)SE1 I can't do searchs by MAC address, when I do "Monitor->Search" the following error appears:"The software version of the selected switch does not support some of the CLI commands in read-only mode for this window. You must have read-write access to this switch to display complete information in this window" If packets are captured you can see that the issued command by the CNA host is "GET /exec/show/mac-address-table/", the answer from the switch is:"show mac-address-table ^% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
If I do "Configure->Switching->MAC Address" instead I get the mac address-table correctly. In this case the issued command is "GET /exec/show/mac/address-table/dynamic" and no error is displayed, the answer from the switch is the list of mac-address table.
With my brand new Cisco 3850 Switch, I got it configured with a LAN IP. Then, on my PC I opened up Cisco Network Assistant (version 5.8.5.1 which supports the 3850). I went to add the 3850 to the community by discovering the device, and was prompted with the user/pass box. The password I set was not allowing me to connect, and I realized it's because a username was required and I had not set up a username on the switch. So, I then configured an admin user with level 15 privileges on the switch. However, now when in CNA I try to add the 3850 to the community, it doesn't even prompt me for user/pass, it just says "unable to connect".
What do I need to do to add this 3850 to my community?
I have a Cisco 2948G switch that I am trying to communicate to through this program. It has both an IP address and is hooked up through a cable. I can get Cisco Network Assistant to come up and ask for it's Username and Password, and that it is where I am stuck! I have no clue as to what to put in there as a username and password? I do have a password setup on the switch to login in to it during terminal mode, but that is it.
I have a network running some 20 switches, two controllers and many AP's. All the devices that should be able to connect to cisco network assistant can successfully. However there is one switch that will show in neighbours but will give the message of “unable to connect to device” when I try and add it to the topology.
As far as I can see the config is identically to all other similar switches in the network. I can telnet from a switch (management VLAN) to the switch in question. However when I try to ping or telnet from the PC running network assistant (different subnet) I am unsuccessful. However I can ping/telnet to all other cisco device from this PC. The switch is a WS-C3560-48TS and I have included the config for firstly the switch in question and another switch of the same model and config that works correctly.

Does the latest version of the Network Assistant support the AP1131AG / AP1131G model?
From the "supported device list" documentation it seems yes, but I've tried to import them into the map and received the message indicating that is not supported as a device...AP1242AG/1242G are not having this problem.
I am trying to connect my Cisco 2911 router to my community in CNA. I can see the routers on the topology map, but when I try to add to community I get an error message stating that the router is unreachable (Unable to connect). I can ping device from ame client. I can view Device Properties for map (Device type: CISCO2911/K9). Telenet attempt to connect but we only use SSH for connectivity (the same as all of my switches that are connected to community). 2911 is listed as a supported router on Cisco site.
