Cisco Switching/Routing :: 2960 / 3750 - Best Configuration For This Scenario
Jul 26, 2012
I'm fairly new at trying to create isolated network segments on Cisco switches. What I'm trying to do is have multiple isolated paths that originate from my v Sphere infrastructure travel through a layer 2 link, v LAN, up to a MLS, and ultimately out to to the internet through a firewall. Each sub net might ultimately have a number of hosts on it, but I don't think the make up of those hosts will matter here.
My initial thought was creating v LAN tagged port groups on v Switches on my v Sphere infrastructure. Physical connections will go from my ESXi hosts to the 2900 series Cisco switch connected to trunk ports. Both v LANs would be configured on the switch but not assigned to physical ports. The physical connection to the 3750 would also be a trunk port connection from the 2960. The 3750 would have SVI's created that are attached to VRFs that would control route traffic. This might be totally wrong but from what i've read it seems to be going down the correct path I think.
Two part question, is this the best way to go about designing this network? If so I seem to be really struggling with the SVI/VRF part. Every time I create an SVI all of my hosts on the 10.10.10.x network can ping them, regardless of which v LAN they're on.
I just cannot seem to isolate the 172 network.

I have a 24 port 2960-S that is not communicating with a 2960-LST that it is directly connected to over fiber. The link is up on the LST but will not come up on the -S. What command should I use to bring up this link? I have tried no shut from the (Config-if)# prompt.

I have the following devices :
-1 VM Host
-2 Layer 3 switches
I would like to provide full redundancy for all vlans being used by VM Guests on the VM Host as well as the management vlan being used by the VM Host.I have created two LACP etherchannel connections on the VM Host. Each etherchannel from the host consists of 4 ports spanning a single NIC. One etherchannel connection goes to a trunked etherchannel connection on switch 1, and the other etherchannel connection goes to a trunked etherchannel connection on switch 2.Switch 1 and switch 2 have an etherchannel connection between them that carries all of the vlans in the topology.Vlan 2 is the managment vlan. Vlans 3, 4, and 5 are vlans that VM guest systems will be using for normal data traffic.
I intend to use switch 1 as the VRRP active router and spanning-tree root bridge for vlans 2 and 3.I intend to use switch 2 as the VRRP active router and spanning-tree root bridge for vlans 4 and 5.The spanning-tree configuration is using multiple spanning-tree with two instances. Instance 1 has vlans 2 and 3 associated and Instance 2 has vlans 4 and 5 associated. I would like to have this topology be fault tolerant to the point where if one of the etherchannel links between the host and one of the switches goes down, (for example, if switch 1 was powered off) traffic will be automatically redirected through the other functional link. I believe that my VRRP configuration would allow for a fairly quick failover of layer 3 services, but I am not certain that my design will be functional at a layer 2 level.
What I am uncertain about is how spanning-tree will converge. I am assuming that the virtual switch on the VM host will not be forwarding any BPDUs being sent by either switch. Would either of the links connecting to the host be considered a redundant link by either switch?Would the link between switch 2 and the host be inactive for all vlans in MST instance 1 during normal operation?Conversely, would the link between switch 1 and the host be inactive for all vlans in MST instance 2 during normal operation? Would all links remain active for ALL vlans? Would this mean that some traffic may travel through switch 2 to reach switch 1 instead of going directly to switch 1?

We're in the process of swapping in a new pair of ASA5520s and Catalyst 3750s to support two separate business units. We want Firewall A and Switch A to handle traffic for Org A (VLAN 100). Similarly, firewall B and Switch B should handle traffic for Org B (VLAN200). But we want to be able to fail traffic over in case of firewall or switch failure. Traffic between the two Orgs is being routed at the switch level. [code]
The uplink interface on each switch is currently a routed port with a static address on the uplink subnet. This works fine in a normal state. However, when we fail over one of the firewall contexts to the other chassis, this results in the inability to route internal traffic because the internal interface is now physically connected to a different switch with a different IP port address (obvious in hindsight). The question is, rather than a routed port, what would be the proper way to handle traffic between the switches and firewalls in a failover scenario? If I make the uplink ports into trunks, won't this cause all packets destined for either firewall to hit both both? Seems like that's not the way to go either? [code]

We are going to upgrade our IOS on our WS-C2960G-48TC-L. But before we do that i want to ask whats the best IOS release to choose. Why we want to upgrade is because our switch software now don't support ssh just telnet access
Switch details:
Model: WS-C2960G-48TC-L
SW Version: 12.2(25)SEE2
Image: C2960-LANBASE-M
I was thinking about upgrading the IOS to 12.2(44)SE6 are maybe i should upgrade it to a newer release?
One more thing we have a bunch of stacked 3750 switches, that also need to be upgraded.

I am using a 3750 as a default gateway for multiple Vlans on a few 2960 switches. The trunk lines are configured and working and I have assigned ip addresses to each of the Vlan interfaces on the 3750. My issue is that I can only ping the ip address on the Vlan interface of the 3750 if I have a working computer plugged directly into the Vlan on the 3750. I only have 3 vlans on the 3750 that have hosts directly connected (vlans 2, 10 and 40) the other vlans ( 20 and 70) don't have any clients plugged into them on the 3750 but the hosts reside on 2 different 2960s that connect via trunk ports. How do I keep the vlan interface on the 3750 switch pingable when I don't have hosts directly connected in that vlan on the 3750? (yes, I have enabled ip routing on the 3750)

Yesterday Cisco released IOS 15 code into the wild for the 2960 and 3560/3750 families but the link to the release notes is not working. Because I already have a whole bunch of 4500/Sup7's running IOS 15 I am thinking about taking the plunge with 30 3750-X's I have on order but want to review the release notes first. where they might be hiding?

I have switch 2960 and router that connect with one interface to that switch. the link is trunk and Router function is inter vlan routing between 4 vlan. This netwrok has only one ip address space that is 10.10.2.0/24 and work without problem. We connect cisco switch 2960 with optic link to another switch that in stack 3750 which configured as trunk link and allowed only 3 vlan between them. In the other side netwrok which consist the switch 3750 we have different subnet ip address that switch working in layer 3 too. the problem is that when I permit vlan 210 in the switch 2960 only layer 2 between this switch and the 3750 in network that consist th ip address 10.10.2.0/24 devices, if I disconnect and then connect pc to network he says that he has ip conflict and in the log he show mac address of router that has vlan 210 subinterface configured with 10.10.2./24 subnet. But how I gibe back vlan 210 from permited vlan in trunk devices start normaly working. If I again put vlan 210 to permit vlan in that trunk devices again said that there are conflict ip address and show mac address vlan 210 router subinterface.

We have a pair of WS-C3750X-24T-S in a stack and four WS-C2960S-48TS-L in a stack of their own. There is not really anything too fancy configured (no special VLAN configuration/trunks or etc.) but the 3750 do have two ports configured as L3 for routing. We are not trying to use those ports for EtherChannel. These devices are running IOS 12.2(55)SE3 Essentially we are attempting to make an EtherChannel group using port 48 on all four of the 2960's in their stack (four ports). On the 3750 we will configure an EtherChannel group using port 23 and 24 on both switches (four ports). We then connect them up to form a four member EtherChannel.The ports on both ends are configured as mode ON and they are all 1Gb ports. I elected mode on because I understand at least one of the EtherChannel protocols will not work cross stack. What I would like to ask is whether the above configuration is possible or are we hitting some sort of limitation of EtherChannel cross stack, etc..? I cannot find anything to suggest this configration is invalid, but thought I would ask to see if I missed something in the EtherChannel articles.

I am experiencing the same problem described in this post {URL}. I have seen this happen on different networks, with different equipment attached. It happens on both 2960 and 3750 switches. Basically the connection drops, and we see in the web interface "Port is Disabled". This appears to happen every 10 minutes.
On the CLI, the status shows as connected.
Port Name Status V lan Duplex Speed Type
Fa0/38 connected 1 a-full a-100 10/100BaseTX
I have ran cable diagnostics while the drop out is occurring.
Interface Speed Local pair Pair length Remote pair Pair status
--------- ----- ---------- ----------------- ----------- -------------------
Fa0/38 100M Pair A 28 +/- 15 meters Pair B Normal
[code]...
During the outage, I see the duplex fluctuate between full and half. The outage occurs for approx 90 seconds. If I fix the duplex and speed at both ends, the outage reduces to around 30 seconds. If I apply spanning-tree port fast the outage reduces further to around 10 seconds. Before I change any configuration on the port, the logs show the interface going down
Aug 16 13:06:51.875: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/38, changed state to down
Aug 16 13:06:52.874: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface FastEthernet0/38, changed state to down
[code]...
However, once I apply the configuration nothing is logged. However we can still see the connection is disappearing for around 10 seconds. I suspect the issue wasn't resolved for the person reporting the problem in the link above, but because the outage is minimized, and not being logged it is going unnoticed.

I am trying to setup a network using Cisco 2960 switches with vlans configured. One vlan will handle video coming from four cameras that are connected to another 2960.
We have four cameras feeeding one port each on a 2960, that 2960 in turn feeds one port on the main 2960 which is the video vlan for that site. From the site it goes back to a Cisco 3750 to be sent over to a Sonicwall firewall. If we connect to the 2960 that the camera are connected to we can see the video, but not on the main site 2960.

At a college we have Ciscos 2960 and are trying to setup VLAN tagging and also using RST or MST. The traffic on the jack should get tagged vlan 248.We were told by the college that Ciscos in the labs will not work with the Alcatel switch that provides access to the lab. That Alcatel is in Bridge 1x1 mode. The college will not change the configuration on the Alcatel.We got the Ciscos to do VLAN tagging and can get network access. However the spanning- tree is not read properly. Cisco does not properly read the Alcatel's RSTP (since the Alcatel is doing tagging on the BPDUs). It places the root of the spanning tree under vlan1 instead of vlan248.
The college strongly recommends HP Procurves and we are using that as test.The following is the configuration on the HP and it works with no effort (it reads the spanning-tree information as MST)We will end up getting HPs instead, if the Cisco cannot work with the Alcatels.

I have a 2960 that bounced several times over the weekend and then appears to have lost its configuration. Using CDP from the backbone switch pulls up the information below. Is there any way for me to configure the downed switch from another switch on the network? I am trying to avoid having someone from the site try to find a console cable and a suitable computer with a serial port. [code]

Using Cisco 2960 series switches (Have 8 . 2 stacks of 4) to replace 6 old switches. 4 old switches had IP ranges of 192.168.6.*** and all new switches have 10.1.*.* addresses. Core switch has 10.1. as well as 192.168 ip addresses but i need to configure one vlan (5?) to route to 192.168 address. PC's on 10. address taking a long time to access 192 range.

We had core(4503), distribution(3750), and access switches(2960) in our environment. Currently we configured the clock manually in each switch, but a reboot of the switch resets the clock also. We are planning to make a single switch as a NTP servers and others are clients to synchronise the correct time even after a reboot of the access switches.

I was wondering if I can force catalyst 2960 to skip startup config stored in NVRAM and boot with no config everytime it is powered. I tried to find it on google and in cisco white papers but still no luck. I found only commands that begin with "set boot config-register ... ", but switch acts like it does not know these commands.

I've recently purchased a Cisco catalyst 2960S-24TS-L & setup 3 V LANS 10 (no current IP),20 (192.168.2.1) and 30 (192.168.3.1) to reflect the router V LAN configuration & ip information. When connecting my PC to the switch to test connectivity on (2.1 & 3.1) I'm unable to connect to the the net but can successfully ping GW (int FE0.20 & FE0.30) 192.168.2.1 & 3.1.
The router is an Cisco 1801 & it seems this is where the configuration issue is but I'm unable to figure out how to complete the setup. It has been quite awhile since I've configured a Cisco router.
Ive never had this router connected to a switch so all router switch ports are in the default VLAN1 (192.168.1.2), with FE0 disabled. In trying to get the switch to communicate with the router I made the following router config modifications.
FE0 enabled with subinterfaces configured
FE0.10-currently no ip
FE0.20-192.168.2.1/27
FE0.30-192.168.3.1/27
I have two issues I want to resolve:
1) I do not know what additional steps are required to allow 2.1.& 3.1 V LANs to access the net.
2) I want to disable VLAN1 if possible & use the network IP for VLAN10 (192.168.1.0). I'm unsure how to do this as any change on VLAN1 immediately breaks router access and the router reconfiguration becomes more complicated with changes to the FW ACL etc.

I am going to creat VLANs very 1st time therefore for test purpose I have following simple scnerio.I have created 2 VLANs , VLAN2 and VLAN3 on Cisco Catalyst 2960 series switch. Ports 1-12 is assigned to VLAN2 and Ports 13-24 are assiged to VLAN3. Now I have configured DHCP on Microsoft Server 2003 defining 2 scopes with following configurations.
Scope 1 for VLAN 2--- Range is 172.16.0.17 to 172.16.0.30 with subnet mask=255.255.255.240 . Server IP address 172.16.0.17
( Note: Address 172.16.0.17 is excluded from dhcp server Scope 1 and give to the MS server itself)
Scope 2 for VLAN 3----Range is 172.16.0.33 to 172.16.0.46 with subnet mask=255.255.255.240 .
Now in Cisco 2960 series switches, under Vlan 2 and Vlan 3, I have following configurations...
interface Vlan2
ip address 172.16.0.30 255.255.255.240
ip helper-address 172.16.0.17
interface Vlan3
ip address 172.16.0.46 255.255.255.240
ip helper-address 172.16.0.17
Now the problem is when i connect a client computer to any port from 1-12, It gets correct IP address from Scope 1 but when I connect a computer to any port from 13-24, it does not get the ip address.
Further I want to do inter VLAN comunication as well for that purpose i Have an ISR 2900 series router. What further configuration i will have to do on router for inter vlan communication.

I am uploading new configurations to my Cisco 3750 stacked switch and noticed that after the load I cannot log back into the switch because my password somehow was changed. After performing password recovery and getting back into the swtch, I noticed the configuration register was 0xF. I have never seen this before. The config-register command does not seem to be supported to change it back to factory default. The switch is on a ship which has several power hits when they switch power from shore to ship power.Can this cause the configuration register to change? What is the best way to change the configuration register?
