Cisco Switches :: SGE2010 Stacking Versus Link Aggregation?
Aug 14, 2011
answer regarding stacking the SGE2010 switches versus link aggregation if greater than 1 Gb connectivity is required between individual switches? Currently have several switches in a stack configuration but would like to increase the bandwidth between some or all of the switches. Does stacking support a link aggregation configuration? If so what ports can be used and how should the link aggregation be configured in conjunction with the stacking?

I am currently running two SGE2010 in stack and planning to purchase new Sg500 .I have two questions :
1. If these two different products can be managed as one stack.
2. Are the SFP (mini-GBIC) connections compatible and if so what accessories or parts do we need to enable them?

I'm trying to setup Link Aggregation on this switch for an HP server with a 4-port NIC which is teamed. I create the LAG and see in the HP Network Utility where each port in the team disconnects then reconnects and the server has internet access, but workstations cannot access the server (can't browse UNC, RDP, ping, etc.) and vice versa. This is the only switch at the site, all the workstations are plugged into it. Rebooting the switch after creating the group didn't have any effect.

Having issues waking NAS devices using a magic packet when using link aggregation on an SG300-28 switch.
Without link aggregation everything works fine so I know the magic packet is being generated correctly and the NAS device is correctly configured to wake. After configuring link aggregation the device does not wake. Have tried dynamic (LACP) and static link aggregation but neither allowed the device to wake? When the NAS is powered off, the ports in the LAG still show as being connected at 100M but it appears the magic packet is not being transmitted.

I have a Synology 1512+ and trying to setup Link Aggregation but no success. I have configured LAG Management with LACP enable or disable but still failed.
At the Synology 1512+ setting page, there are 2 options: IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic Link Aggregation and Network Fault Tolerance (Non-802.3ad network enirovement), I selected IEEE802.3ad, which i think S200-18 should be able to support. right?

I have several SGE2010P switches connected in a stack. They are working fine as a stack.
Question is - what traffic, besides stack control, is carried over the stacking links?
All unused ports are VLAN 1U. Ports in use belong to VLANs 100, 101, and 105.Since I cannot configure or see the stacking ports, I am unclear if any non-default VLAN traffic passes over those links between switches?

I have 2 switch groups.
2 SGE2010's with VLAN's defined as 10,20 and 30
Vlan 10 is the management VLAN, and it uplinks to our border router.Vlan 20 is the workstation VLAN, and all workstations point to the switch as their default GW? Vlan 30 is the ip phone VLAN, and all phones use this as their gateway.
I would like to put a LAG between said switches, we have some servers on the ip phone switch that need to be accessed by the workstation clients, and the single 100mb link through the router is probably not going to be enough.As I understand it, because the switches have different networks on them, a simple lag will not work. I did create a lag, and assign ip addresses to each side, however in that mode, it doesn't appear I can block vlan 10 from transiting the LAG, and with out that block I will end up with a logical loop, and spanning-tree will block one of the uplinks, or the LAG itself.

I looking to buy SGE 2010 swith, but I have some question:
1. Can I use 4 SFP ports and stack of two switches at the same time.
2. Is it possible to use for stacking ports other than 24, 48?
3. What is maximum possible number of ports to use for stacking (can I get more than 1Gb thruput).

I currently have two SGE2010's with a 4-port LAG configured between them. I'm looking to add another two SGE2010's and I want to add redundancy at the same time. The switches are currently in standalone mode. I don't have fiber connectors and was planning on just using copper for the uplinks.
My questions are:
- Is it possible to use stack mode in conjunction with 4-port LAG groups to create redundant 4-port links between all of the switches? The documentation says that ports 24&48 are reserved for stacking - does that mean I can't specify a LAG instead?
- If 4-port LAGs aren't possible, does that mean that these switches max out at 1Gpbs uplinks if you use stack mode?

We have a pair of N7K distribution switches connected to a pair of N7K Aggregation switches.We run vPC on both pairs of n7k's.
-n7k-d1 has two interfaces in a Port-Channel connecting to n7k-a1 & n7k-a2. (PC1)
-n7k-d2 also has two interfaces in a Port-Channel connecting to n7k-a1 & n7k-a2. (PC2)
My problem is that Spanning-Tree is blocking PC2 and all traffic from n7k-d2 is traversing the Peer-Link before reaching the Aggregation layer. Is this the best design for connecting two pairs of n7k's with vPC or if a better design would be to connect all 4 links into the same Port-Channel and vPC?

We had a SGE-2010, just purchased 2 (two) SGE-2010P. I want to stack the switches (all 3) (unless there is a better way). Not sure what is needed hardware wise, and how to physically wire the switches. Had switches years ago (diff brand) that used a special cable that connected the switches. It seems that is not the case here. I have not used fiber in networking before so I am new to that part, I’m willing to learn, just need pointed in the right direction.Can all three switches be stacked, (1) SGE-2010 & (2) SGE-2010P? I THINK I need to use the GBIC port 4 to stack, I understand 1 port is enough if two switches are used, but what about three or more switches.What are the other GBIC ports used for? Will I be better off (can I ) use the GBIC ports LAG (2 ports) to the other switches? Or would regular ports work just as well?

what is the difference between "link aggregation" and "STP"?
For example:
I have two switches connected with two ethernet cables together. Why I will use link aggregation on trunk ports (without load balancing) when STP will do same service?

We want a solution for routing between N5K and VSS with aggregated WAN links.
DC1: It has 2 cisco 6509 with VSS. There are 4 server farm cisco4948 switches connected with VSS with redundant uplink via MEC. Server gateway is the VSS. VSS is running Eigrp routing.
DC2: This is a new datacenter we are going to establish soon. We are planning 2 N5K at core layer with L3 daughter card and 4 N2K as server farm switch. 2 N5K will have vPC peer between them. Each 4 N2K will connect with redundant uplink via vPC with this N5K. N5K will run Eigrp routing and will be the gateway of this new DC server.
WAN between DC1 & DC2: DC1 VSS will connect with DC 2XN5K with 2X10G links. we want to do MEC at VSS side and L3 vPC at DC2 side. If we have VSS at both end it might not be a problem. Both the link will work together as 20G aggregated link. But as we are using N5K at one end, so it creates a confusion whether it will work properly is this scenerio or not.Also I would like to know,
1) In VSS I have configured 1 VLAN interface for server gateway. But in N5K do I have to configure at 2 switch seperately?
2) In WAN routing VSS shows as 1 device. Does this 2 N5K will show as 2 seperate hops or L3 vPC will allow them to act as a single device while traceroute from one end to another end.

I am trying to setup a home network where I have multiple low bandwidth or rather lower bandwidth links coming in. They are suppose to be broadband but I do feel the need for a fatter pipe. Since this is in India and we have limited availability of bandwidth options like here in the US I thought if I could double or even get close to doubling my bandwidth using some sort of device for link aggregation or a network / pc setup which can achieve thisThe links I am getting are above 1mbps, possibly even 2mpbs and its relatively cheap, 100$/yr so I can add 3-4 to get desired results. A dedicated 10mbps connection costs nearly 12000$/yr so I have a lot of margin to create a substantial pipe without the cost if what I am thinking is possible.

I've been having some issues lately where if I am copying large amounts of files two and from my NAS and thus saturating my gigabit ethernet, web browsing and internet streaming slows down which is a bit of a bummer. I figured I might fix this with link aggregation.
My switches (Procurve 1810G-24 in basement and 1810G-8 in office) both support 802.3ad Link Aggregation. It works beautifully to connect them together, as well as to connect my FreeNAS box to the switch as well.
how do I set it up to work with my Windows 7 box?
I can't find the options for 802.3ad in the windows menus anywhere, and googling has not led me to the answer yet...
My motherboard has two on board Intel gigabit ports (Intel 82574L and Intel 82579V). Is it possible to link these two, or do I need to pick up another Intel PRO PT dual port copper gigabit NIC like I have two of in my server?

I am working on two SGE 2010 stacked and in routing mode. Everything work fine but before finishing the job, I wanted to lockdown all the network device so they would not be accessible from some subnets. Problem is, I cannot bind my ACLs to any interface. I get "Cannot apply because lack of HW resources." I am running firmware 3.0.0.18, and 3.0.1 release notes don't address that issue. TCAM utilization is at 3% Routing resources shows host: 200, routes:60, ip interfaces: 50 I have tried from the cli and get the same message.

Is there any issues with accessing the browser based GUI using Windows 7 64bit on a SGE2010 switch? I took the switch home and tried on my XP 32bit machine and works fine, but no luck on any windows 7 64bit pc's. I have tried 3 different new pc's on this new switch and no luck at all.

We have a single SGE2010 in layer 3 mode switch with a Server 2008 DHCP server.
We will be implimenting a Voip netowork where the PC's connect to the voip phone. I would like to create another vlan - 10. I have created the vlan and assigned the IP on the swtich.
Routing seems to be working. I can ping both IP addresses of the switch on either vlan.
I cannot get DHCP working. In the SGE switch I have enabled DHCP Relay, enabled option 82, set my DHCP Interface as VLan1, and specified the DHCP servers IP address. On the ports I have set the port where the DHCP server connects to as a trunk port with Vlan 1 untagged and vlan 10 tagged. I have set the ports where the phones connect as a trunk port with vlan1 untagged and vlan 10 tagged.

I am looking after a mixed collection of Cisco and HP switches and use a Perl script to extract configuration data.I use the ifStackStatus table (OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.2.1.3) from RFC1573 to sucesfully obtain the EtherChannel data from the Cisco switches but, though I do obtain data from the same table from the Procurve switches it seems to bear no resemblance to Link Agregation. I could look at other tables and may have to - but would like to use this one in order to simplify the code.

I have been trying, so far unsucessfully, to trigger backups to a TFTP server of our SGE201 switches. I have testesd TFTP backups via the web interface, and that does work. I need SNMP as I need a scriptable method to trgiger the backups on a regular schedule. I am running the SNMP query from a RedHat Linux server. So far I have the following query work out, but it is failing: [code] The error I am getting is generic, and the same query failed on multiple switches running Software Version 3.0.0.18. The switch is set with the community having full SNMP-admin access from the server's IP address.

I have 5 VLAN's setup in the sge2010. I have one port (uplink for the network) that I want everyone to see. But have separate VLAN's for different departments as to keep them all separate. Everytime i try and Untag that uplink port, i lose my untag in the original VLAN it was tagged in, and it changes to excluded.

We are experiencing bridge storms and network slow downs and we believe we have traced the issue down to users plugging a cat 5/6 cable between 2 ports on the wall both wired back to a SGE2010 switch.
So we did a test - we plugged a single short cat 6 cable between 2 ports on a SGE2010, our access switch. Suprisingly, even with STP enabled, the switch DID NOT block one of the ports and in a few minutes the ENTIRE NETWORK was down, as CDP, STP, and ARP traffic became a multi-gigabit storm throughout the network.
Why on earth does this switch not block a port that is obviosly looped?
Every other cisco switch since I started on 1900XL's did this in 1999.

Id like to set up our AP to push our different vlans depending on which ESSID you connect to.
A few things I am unclear on. The switch port on the SGE needs to be in trunk mode I assume.
Do I marry the Management Vlan ID on the AP to the PVID on the SGE port ? Or is the PVID the untagged vlan ID ?
I set the switches port to trunk mode, it's PVID to 10 and set the management vlan ID on the AP to 10 and I get TTL Exceeded in Route when I try to ping.

I've recently installed an SGE2010 switch, which I have set to 'Layer 3' mode.
I have created 2 VLANs using 192.168.10.x and 192.168.20.x (using .50 for the VLAN IP address in each case) - however, I need to be able to allow certain traffic between the VLANs.Alternatively, to get things started - I'm assuming I need to set up ACLs to allow access between VLANs - how would I configure the switch to allow all traffic from one VLAN to the other?
