I have an Extremely Old switch that I need to connect to my network. Because it is so old I don't want it to become the Root Switch.
what is the command to change the priority. (Honestly I don't remember if it has to be a lower number 1 or a higher number ). Always get that mixed up. I've read about root guard, but I would like to prevent it manually. (It is a small network after all)It is a Cisco 2950.
Recently we got a cisco catalyst 4500 and six 2960 access switches. I need assistance on configure spanning-tree and faster convergence on my network to avoid loop.
[code]....
I config vlans 21-23 on 3750 A and B switches.I config B switch to be Root Bridge for all vlansspanning-tree vlan 1,21-23, priority 4096 sh span tree on B switch 3750B# sh spanning-tree.
View 18 Replies View RelatedI have two 6509s both with single FWSMs running in transparent mode with bridged Inside and Outside VLANs.I have my Core A set to STP priority of 8192 and Core B set to 16,384 to make Core A the root for all VLANs.Problem I have is when I look at spanning-tree on Core A for Inside VLAN 324 it states to get to the Root go via PO100 (Cost of 9) and that the Root also has a Priority of 8192, but as the designated Root has a lower MAC address it's pointing to the etherchannel. PO100 is L2 Etherchannel between the Cores.Moving accross PO100 to Core B and running the show spanning-tree command I can see that to get to the Root Bridge I need to go via PO272. PO272 is the internal Etherchannel to get to the FWSM on the Core B Switch. This shows a cost of 6 to get to the Root and a mac address of the Root Bridge which resides on Core A (Outside VLAN 124)To give some perspectibe,theoutside VLAN of the pair has it's STP ROOT on the Core A switch as intended?

RTR-01#sh spanning-tree int gi2/3 rootVLAN0001 0VLAN0010 0VLAN0011 0VLAN0012 0VLAN0013 0VLAN0014 0VLAN0015 [ code]....
Now I thought the command "sh spanning-tree int gi2/3 root" showed cost to the root bridge. So with everything being zero, its implied this the root, which it is but not for vlan 111 and actually all 1XX Vlans have a different root. Why does vlan111 show its root as out int gi 2/3 but the root cost shows zero?
Issue is we have a issue where a 2950 is acting as root bridge for our wireless vlans, wrong....it should be the 6509, but before I change it over, was wondering about the root port/cost question.
I have a 3560G connected to an ASA FW, both running layer 3 and hosting 6 or so VLANs. The switch is the default gateway for all VLANs (client request) and therefore see's all networks as connected. I used route maps to push the traffic from the switch to the FW so that it got firewalled before being delivered, but I cannot use one of the commands for failover should the FW fail (I wanted to route locally should the FW fail). If I placed all VLANs in their own vrf, NETA would not longer see NETB as a connected network and would follow the route to the FW's NETA interface. I could then inject the connected into each vrf but adjust theirf metric so that they are less preferable than the route to the FW. Should the FW route die, the next route would become active and traffic would route internally to the switch.

„A“ is the main building and provides a wired LAN to an AAA server (192.168.1.2) and the WAN gateway (192.168.1.1). There I placed a 1262N with the IP 192.168.1.3 connected to the wired LAN and configured it as Root-Bridge. Let's call it AP01.
„B“ is a pretty large building and has a wired LAN from one end to the other end.
So I placed two 1262N there, each at one end.
The first 1262N is configured as non-root Bridge (AP02) and connects to the Root Bridge (AP01). The IP address of AP02 is 192.168.1.4.
The second 1262N is configured as Access Point (AP03) and connects to the non-root Bridge (AP02) via the wired LAN. The IP adress of AP03 is 192.168.1.5
My Questions:
1. Do I need tell AP02 about the AAA Server in Building A or acts AP01 like a AAA Proxy for AP02 because of it Root Bridge functionality?
2. How Do I tell AP03 that it should use AP02 as a gateway to building A?
A customer has a wireless PTP bridge using a pair of 1410 bridges. The non-root bridge event log shows the RSSI polling information message indicating the link's signal strength; ie. -42 dBm. It updates every few seconds or so. The root bridge does not show this information in the event log. Both bridges have the event log configuration options set identically, all messages types are enabled. I can't find any reference to this in the documents. Is this by design? I thought that maybe a root bridge if it was set up as a multi-point might be overwhelmed if it was showing/scrolling RSSI from multiple non-roots.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a setup where - I have a cisco stack (4X SGE2010 Switches) trunking over to a 3COM switch. Both switches believe to be the "ROOT" of the network. Note The 3COM is running RSTP as opposed to the Cisco Stack which is running normal STP. To my understanding of STP - Essentially STP is not functioning! Both switches believe to be the "ROOT" so they don't shut ports down. (We are currently having major issues with ports going up and down for seconds at a time on both switches)
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have 2 3550 12G switches that I use as core fiber switches. Switch 1 is the primary for 1/2 the V LANs and Switch 2 is the primary for the others using MST with 2 instances (I am not including the default 0 instance). I am using HSRP to provide redundancy. So far so good.
Recently a tenant in my building would like to use their own switch for data but still needs access to a V LAN on mine for voice. Again not a problem as I can configure a trunk port and give them what they need. My concern is that if they try to configure STP on their switch can they take down mine. Are there some preventions that I can put into place, such as root guard, that work with MST? What happens if they too set up MST can they kill mine?
Switch 1 is the root for 1/2 the v lans and Switch 2 is the backup root. The scenario is flipped for the other 1/2.
is it possible to assign a loopback address to a typical switch port on a 2950 switch? I want to be able to have some devices connected to a switch to test access lists and VLANs.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have two locations DC and Corp connected to each other via Point to Point Circuit. I have forced the two core switches setup as GLBP pair to be primary and secondary for certain VLAN's including VLAN1.I have a switch in our Corporate office 3750 which is where the point to point circuit terminates. VLAN1 SVI is manually shut on that switch. Also the priority on VLAN1 is increased manually like this, "spanning-tree vlan 1 priority 28672".
Now the issue is that the Primarey Root Bridge in the DC is the root bridge for VLAN 1. But this other switch 3750 in our corporate office also is a root bridge for VLAN1. [code]
in my LAN the all access layer switchs/stacks are connected directly to core backbone switch (cisco 6509) via sfp fiber-optic, i want to protect my spanning tree setup with the "root guard" command.
1. where would i set this ? on uplink ports on access layer switches ? or on core backbone ports to which the access layer swithes connect to?.
2. can this be set on active (production) ports without downtime?
I have a cisco 3560 8 port switch. I really would lime to have the webinterface enabled. So i downloaded the archive from cisco. I extracted the archive to the flash of the switch. After rebooting the device everythings looks fine, but the html folder is a subfolder. It looks something like this: flash:c3560.../htmlI my understanding to enable the webinterface the html folder should be here flash:htmlHow do i move the html folder from the subfolder to the root?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to reproduce a Spanning-Tree loop in my lab that occurred on Ops, and for the life of me I cannot break it. The loop is very simple:
Cisco 2960------------FW that doesn't forward STP traffic-----------Cisco 2960
This created an STP loop. In my lab, I am substituting the FW for another Cisco 2960 with STP disabled and BPDUFilter on ingress/egress ports to stop the switch from sending BPDU's to the downstream switch to keep it in the dark, as the FW did on Ops.
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.

View 1 Replies View Relatedwe recently had on our network a simple layer 2 loop problem, with big effects.Here is the situation: we have a C3750 switch, with STP activate on all ports.We don't have total control on this switchs, and for some reasons, it is possible that people connect a 2d switch on it (Cisco or non-Cisco).What happened several times is a classic case: a person interconnect 2 ports of this 2d switch, creating a loop. As the loop is created on the 2d switch only, the 1st switch detect no loop, the the uplink port keeps up.Afer this loop created, a broadcast storm occurs through the link between 1st & 2d switch .. and the storm propgates all over the LAN.I try to find some solutions to avoid that. One thing I would like to do is to find a mecanism on the first switch, which can permit to block the uplink port on the 1st switch if it sees the same MAC address as source in the 2 directions.Note that storm control, even configured to a quite low value (ie: 2Mbps) is not efficient enough to protect equipment (we have had big CPU impact on LAN equipments).
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a strange issue where spanning-tree is blocking vlans through a mesh network.Here is my set up.
2-Cisco 3560's that have two trunk ports set with do1q and a native vlan of 2. I'm allowing a client vlan (2) and a voice vlan (103) to come over the trunk. They have a native vlan of 2 so the mesh APs can get an address through DHCP. Spanning-tree loop guard is also enabled.
When connected to the mesh network, the voice vlan is being blocked by spanning-tree. I get the following erros:
000129: *Feb 28 19:24:58.289 EST: %SPANTREE-2-LOOPGUARD_BLOCK: Loop guard blocking port FastEthernet0/1 on VLAN0103.000130: *Feb 28 19:24:58.448 EST: %SPANTREE-2-LOOPGUARD_UNBLOCK: Loop guard unblocking port FastEthernet0/1 on VLAN0103.
Eventually the loop is cleared and the port is set back to a forwarding state from a blocking state. I don't want to disabled spanning-tree loopguard since I don't want to create a loop. The mesh network is supposed to act as a P2P connection between two switches. As a test I disconnected the APs from their trunk ports. I then used a cross over cable to connect the switches and no spanning tree loops occured. The mesh doesn't have STP enabled on it and should just be acting as an over-the-air connection from one switch to another.
Do Cisco Catalyst (IOS) and specially Cisco SG300/500 support a similar feature to HP's Loop Protection or DLINK's Loopback Detection? This is an interesting feature to avoid loops caused by unmanaged switches.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a bunch of 3750x switches that each have a 10 gig routed link back to a central 4507 (loopback = 172.30.255.255).We carved up a /24 (of course, the /24 doesn't really exist except in our address tracking spreadsheet) into a bunch of /30's for routed WAN links and /32's for loopback addresses.We started on the low end for /30 subnets (ie 172.30.255.0/30, 172.30.255.4/30, etc.).We started at the high end for the /32 loopbacks (ie 172.30.255.255/32, 172.30.255.254/32, etc.)
Well, when I try pinging 172.30.255.255 from the access layer 3750x switches, the 3750x seems to be treating it as a broadcast ping where it lists each member that responds instead of the regular !!!!! response (this makes think something is odd with the 3750x). Of course, only one member responds (the core). But even the core seems to respond with the other end of the /30 instead of the actual /32 loopback (which makes me think something is odd in the core). I could have sworn that I've setup similar topologies without problems (ie, using 10.0.0.0/32, 10.255.255.255/32, etc as loopbacks) and as long as the mask is a /32, it should work.Also, I can ping/ssh to that loopback if my laptop is on a directly connected subnet. But I can't do it from any of the 3750x switches (which are also directly connected).I've double checked for overlapping subnets, but nope. I don't see any. Routing looks fine. The actual /32 is being propagated everywhere properly.
I have a 3925 Router with a 48 port switch module (part number SM-D-ES3G-48-P). I have no problem accessing the 3925 Router, but when I go into the 48 port, I get an error that reads

I have a couple of 3560 switches running c3560-advipservicesk9-mz.122-44 and they are randomly experiencing the following:
- The switch locks up with no preceding error message in the log (I am forwarding syslog to Splunk).
- Upon reboot, the switch goes through the normal startup sequence with no error messages, then for some reason reloads the flash and starts all over again. (refer to doc)
This could happen after days or weeks. Sometimes they will go through two of these reloads on boot and be fine for awhile, and other times they will be stuck in the loop infinitely. I am using this same image with all of our 3560s, but am only having this issue with two of them.
