Cisco Switching/Routing ::1002 Layer 3 Ether-channel Vs Two Separate Links
May 19, 2013
We were going to create a 2 port, layer 3 etherchannel between a 1002 router and a 3750X layer 3 core switch. We wanted to create bunled link between them but, now we are going to be putting a Riverbed device between the router and core switch. Because of this, would it be best to abandon the idea of creating a layer 3 etherchannel and just have 2 links from the router and core switch and have traffic load balance between the 2 links?The Riverbed will have 2 connections into it from the Core switch and 2 connections into it from the 1002 router. I was hoping to keep the layer 3 etherchannel but, do you think it would be best to create 2, /29 nets and have the router/Riverbed and Core Switch/Riverbed load balance.

I was configured ether channel between two cisco 2960s series switches. It is working properly. I was replaced two cables in etherchannel. Now one link working remaining link is down(both cables are working cables only). Below are ether channel details.

running ether-channel mode on. I have a 3120G Blade Switch (stacked). The blade switch connects to the blade servers (internal). Gi1 /0/1 connects to eth0 and gi2/0/1 connects to eth1 on the blade server. [code]
The issue is when is shutdown eth0 on the server, the corresponding interface on the switch (gi1/0/1) does not go down, show up and running.

I came across a Catalyst 6509 switch configuration and have noticed some strange thing on the ether channel configuration side, it appears that it have interface port-channel 2 and port-channel 2A, what was that mean? its the ether channel not forming and joined together?
What wrong with the below configuration that cause it to automatic created another port-channel (2A) interface in this case?

i want to realize a 20gb ring stp with 6 3750x stacked by 2. I want to install 2 3750x stacked configured in hsrp mode with other 2 3750 stacked. These 2 different stack are interconnected by a cross-stack ether channel 20Gb fiber. On the other side of the room i want to create a new stack with 2 3750x with cross-stack ether channel 20gb connected with the previous 2 stacks. So, in total 3 different cross-stack ether channel 20Gb stacks interconnected creating a ring stp of 20 Gb.

I have an 891W that I initially configured using CCP Express (2.5). So it has a WAN IP set, and through CCP Express I had enabled via the checkboxes the various default settings for security. This includes zone-based firewall. I then added a number of NAT entries in the setup wizard.
What never occured to me at the time was that I should have added entries that allow for remote access. So it seems I've locked myself out of accessing the router via the WAN interface even though I know it's IP. I'm sure it's just a matter of adding port exceptions for SSH and/or whatever port(s) CCP uses.
So I"m wondering what the proces woudl be. In the IOS while showing the running config., I see pages and pages of class-map stuff which at present I don't know enough about to risk editing anything directly. But maybe I don't have to? What would be the best way to, for example, enable SSH access through the firewall? I already have transport input ssh set on the interface itself so I believe it's ready to allow the connection, just that I can't get to it via WAN int. so I assume it's the firewall.

I have 4 cisco 2960 switches to which many users are connected. No vlans are the only default vlan 1 is there. Now I want to make ether channel on switch 1 whcih has 24 fast etherenet ports. Can I make port 1- 8 as one ether channel which are connected to users or i can only make ethere channel of ports that are connectd to other switchs. If I can, how the other switchs will comnicate with the switch ports bundalled in the ether channel in switch 1.

A site that i am responsible for has the following equipment installed:
2 x 3750G Switches configured as a stack using Stackwise - Collapsed Core/Distribution Layer
5 x 2960G Switches as Access Layer switches
WAN connections into the Core/Distribution Layer are all Gigabit Ethernet over Fibre.This is a dedicated CCTV Network with 50 Cameras all streaming video into the Core (decoders connected to access switches)Each 2960G has 2 links to the Core/Distribution 3750G Switches, 1 to each switch - Gigabit.I'm running rapid-pvst on all switches, so spanning tree is blocking one of the ports and effectively halving the 2 gig bandwidth. Next year our customer is going to add in a further 50 - 60 cameras.After monitoring the current loading on the ports in use, we have suggested to the customer that the 2 connections to each should be Ether-channeled together. [code]
First interface takes commands no problem, keep getting the message that etherchannel cannot be configured across different switches in a stack when i try to put the second interface commands on.

I have an environment where i have two nexus 7010 switches, along with 2 nexus 5510's. I need to run OSPF as a layer 3 routing protocol between the vpc peer links. I have 1 link being used as a keep alive link, and 3 other links being used as a VpC link.
1) Is it best to configure a separate Vpc VLAN i.e 1010
2) Is it best to configure a vrf context keep-alive
3) just have the management address as the peer ip's.

I have two Core 6509E SUP2T configued as VSS and has two 48 ports fiber blades. I have two 3750s, I have two gig on each 3750 port-channle to po1 and connected to both the core, one link to each core.Now, I was asked ot add two more links on each 3750 switch to make it a total of 4 gigs on each 3750s (all 4 gig ports/uplinks will be in used an dtwo links to core one an dtwo links to core 2).when i added two additional links on 3750s and bundled them to po1, I created another port channel on core and bundeled the additional two gigs on each core to accomodate for the two additional links (ports on core switches are not consequtives).
adding these two additional ports makes the 3750 switches flap between managemnet vlan and po1.now, i am not sure if I must have added the two additional links on the core to teh current port-channel or core!? I have created another port-channel on core to accomodate for this currently!?

I configured the interfaces individually at L3 and could ping across each link Example:
4500 Switch 2: 6500 Switch 1
int t5/1 - int g3/17 1 Gig fiber link
tore down config
tried second set of interface
int t6/1 - int g8/17 1 Gig fiber link
Ping successful

We are currently designing Layer 3 to the edge EIGRP solution for our customers. The network is a hybrid of collapsed core (Core to access) as well as a three layer design (Core/Distro/Access) for connectivity to the Data Centre, Internet, Wireless Blocks etc.The core of the network contains two 6509-E switches interconnected on a Layer 3 Port channel (no VSS). Access Layer switches (3750-X series running Stackwiseplus protocol) connect to the core switches over p2p routed links and Distribution layer switches (3750X stackwiseplus) provide connectivity to the Data centre, Internet, wireless blocks etc.
The access and distribution switch stacks(Cisco 3750-X) are set up with two or three member switches with uplinks multihomed to the primary and secondary core switch with each uplink included in EIGRP. In each of the stacks, one of the switches controls the operation of the stack, which will be the stack master.As the Cisco Stackwise architecture is not SSO-capable but NSF aware, all Layer 3 fuctions must be re-established during a master switch outage. To minimize control plane impact and improve Layer3 convergence, uplinks should be diverse and originate from the member switches instead of the Master switches in the respective stack. This is as per Cisco recommended design solution.The above solution can be setup if there are more than two switches in the stack. i.e. uplinks are configured on the backup member switch modules.
1.But what about stack with two switches..Which switch should be set up as the Master for a two member stack with uplinks to the core primary and secondary from each switch(Master and Backup)
2. For Layer 3 routing, does the routing takes precedene over switch failures? Say for eg. In a two member stack, the master switch with uplink to primary fails, does EIGRP provide a fast convergence to route traffic via backup secondary and does not wait for the control plane on the switch stack to converge? All the access to core links will be set up for ECMP.

Configured Layer 3 portchannel from 6500VSS enabled switch to two different 6500 standalone switch. Configured first ip on VSS switch, second ip on standalone switch1 and third IP on standalone switch2. My question is
1. Will the portchannel be up?
2. If port channel is up, will I able to ping the connected IP's.

I have trunk etherchannel ports 47,48 which both have Vlans allowed on trunk 70,71. Everything works pretty fine. Now I am trying to add a new VLAN 72 to these ports.
conf t
interface FastEthernet0/47
switchport trunk allowed vlan add 72
exit
exit
So far so good. But when making the same command for port FastEthernet0/48 my switch stuck.

I know there are some line cards on the 6500 that do not play well with each other when trying to setup an etherchannel using two different line cards on the same chassis. I always thought it was line cards of different type, i.e. 6400 with a 6700 but these two line cards are exactly the same model with the same code level.
1) Are the error messages below from this incompatibility between line cards and etherchannel creation?
2) How to fix if the answer to #1 is yes?
3) What line cards work with which for etherchannel creation?

I have already raised this discussion on "LAN, Switching and Routing" group. But I guess this is the right group for my queries. So I am sending my queries in this group again.
We are using CSS 11503 with one 16FE line card. We have connected 3 servers with redundant link. So FE1-2 in Server1, FE 3-4 in Server2 and FE5-6 in Server3. Our system team has configured APA in their servers as they are using HP-Ux.
1) Do we need to do any configuration at line card.
2) Do we need to do ether-channel at loadbalancer end. if yes, can you share me any cisco doc on how to do it.

I have been working on redesign of our network which was very challenging but almost there.We have a limited budget of around £20k(32k Dollor) Max. The cabling has been done before my time and it is very messy and cheap so you can not do a proper cisco hierarchical model at all.I can not have multiple links from each access layer switch to the core/distribution and as a result i had to connect some access switches together to introduces redundancy in a nutshell,we have two buildings, main building which has the server room in it and the other building which is just bunch of office. i have introduced a partial mesh on the normal building and have tried to introduce full mesh on the main building .

I am trying to research the possiblity of backing up IOS and configurations from an Etherswitch module, and being able to store the files onto the Host Router's flash (3925 ISR). and then being able to recover that IOS and configuration, in case I have to replace the Etherswitch Module.

we are replacing network equipment at one of our sites. The network will have 12, 3750X switches(6 stacks) - one stack will be the core. A 1002 will be the WAN router to the Main campus. The 1002 will connect to the core via 2 ethernet cables. I'm debating whether to use L3 or L2 between the router and Core. I've heard that routing is more efficient if L3 is used and also I will be able to create an L3 etherchannel between the 1002 and Core switch. See the attached doc.

We are having Cisco router 1002 ASR and 2841 switch. Some times perticular VLAN user will not be able to access the network but from the same switch others VLAN users can able to access. We were getting ARP entries in router but we cannot ping the IP's. Even we clear the ARP entries. Once we restart the switch users can access the network. We have changed vlan ports, uplink too. but problem not solved. and we observed CPU utilization will be going 70-80% some times and at same time switch hangs.

Can any share some useful links on how this works and how to configure it? Do you still need to configure FHRP or does configuring redundancy take care of active/standby relationship between the ASR's?

I was asked to configure a new ASR 1002 today and after successfully puttintg the config on the router (via TFTP) the router will no longer communicate with anything. There is nothing in the config to cause this (it was actually pulled off a working production ASR 1002) and I am unable to ping a local loop back IP while consoled into the router?? I removed the config, reloaded the router and configured a new loop back - same issue cannot ping the loop back or anything else connected to this router.

I know that the ASR 1002 has 4 integrated ports but the problem that I am having is that I need two of those ports to emulate a L2 switched port. Is that doable?
If not than I need to purchase the following module below. Is that price really true?

Checking the logs we have seen the following messages:
%SPANTREE-3-PRESTD_NEIGH: pre-standard MST interaction not configured (Port-channel3). Please, configure: 'spanning-tree mst pre-standard' on ports connected to MST pre-standard switches.
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface GigabitEthernet1/0/1, changed state to down
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface GigabitEthernet2/0/1, changed state to down
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Port-channel3, changed state to down
%LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface Port-channel3, changed state to down
%LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface GigabitEthernet1/0/1, changed state to down
%LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface GigabitEthernet2/0/1, changed state to down
When this happened, the interface that was actually blocked by STP didn't come to forwarding state, and as a result this switch became isolated.This switch is connected to a switch that runs standard MST, and to some switches that run PVST but have bpdufilter enabled as we don't want them to participate on the STP. It is a 3750 switch with software version 12.2(55)SE5.
As far as I knew, when a MST pre-standard BPDU was received, the interface was able to receive more pre-standard BPDUs, but I didn't know it would turn the link down. Why the links went down, and if there is any way we can configure those links to accept only MST standard BPDUs.
I would also like to know if there is any chance a switch running PVST can send a MST pre-standard BPDU if it has a software version 12.2(25)SEE3.
