I can understand it 's one of those very basic questions , but how do I identify a Switch is Layer 2 or Layer 3 ?Looking through # show version command and checking the IOS version to be IP BASE or LAN BASE . Is it the right way ?Cisco 2960 is a Layer 2 or a Layer 3 Switch ? I noticed that access-lists could be configured which means that it 's a Layer 3 Switch , right?
[code]....
Is there a way to identify if a switch port is burned via CLI? I have a 2960-48PST switch and some ports don't provide power to a PoE device connected. When I change the port, the device turns on.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI just received a Catalyst 2960-C (WS-C2960C-8TC-L R) switch and I am unable to sign into its web GUI in order to configure it. I've tried both the Cisco Network Assistant and Internet Explorer and I am unable to log in either way. The documentation provided by Cisco states that the default password is simply cisco and that a username is unnecessary. Needless to say, it doesn't work. I've also Googled for other default passwords (such as cisco-cisco as the username-password), none of which worked either. I've also tried resetting the switch back to its factory default a few times.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI created a lab and I have a few issues. One with a layer 3 switch and another with a ASA 5550.
1. Layer 3 switch: I have created multiple Vlans and I am able to route between them. I can ping the switch IP but not the default gateway to the ASA. I did a tracert of the default gateway of the ASA and once I am past the Vlan gateway it fails.
2. On the ASA 5550 I created the Vlans on sub-interfaces but still cannot get to the internet. ASA config is below the switch config.
I have a 3550 l3 switch configured as follows:
vlan 10 ports 1-10
vlan 21 ports 11-20
vlan 30 port 21-30
vlan 40 ports 31-40
default vlan should be vlan 21
I have the servers, switch and router connected to vlan 21. Vlan 21 works great I can browse the internet, but I cannot ping any other vlans. router is connected to fa0/19

My understanding is that even layer 2 switches like the Cisco 3500XL can have 1 IP address for management. However, I cannot seem to figure out how to configure it to get it working in a router on a stick setup. I can manage the router through SSH, but I cannot SSH to the switch.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have made a topology by using one 3560 switch and 2 2950 switches. I have also made 2 vlans name Clients and other Servers and vlan 1 is for anagement purposes. The left 2950 switch is for clients and the right is for servers. Clients is vlan 2 and servers is vlan3 . Now what i want is that my dhcp is should assign ips to clients in vlans 2 provided that servers are in vlan 3. I am also using a border router and i have introduced a default route on the 3560 to the border router.
Now when i assign static ips to my clients pc and server dhcp then i can ping between vlans but when i try to assign ip through dhcp then it wont work. Also the default route on the switch to the border router doesnt seem to work. I can ping only the border router when i put a default route on the border router instead of the 3560 switch.
is it possible to run a Catalyst 4500 as pure Layer 2 Switch, i.e. disabling "ip routing", but still managing the switch via Fa1, i.e. the defautl mgmtVrf vrf ?I tried the following:
!
no ip routing
!
interface FastEthernet1
ip vrf forwarding mgmtVrf
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
!
ip route vrf mgmtVrf 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.254
ip default-gateway 192.168.1.254
I was not able to reach the Switch even from the same subnet. Only after enabling ip routing I could manage the Switch. I haven't found any command to set ip default-gateway for a vrf. Any workaround to keep routing disabled, but still manageable via VRF?
Configuring OSPF on a catalyst 3560G Switch to connect to our building next door by way of fiber.

How can I enable conenctivity between 192.168.36.0 range and 192.168.57.0 range wihtout making any change to current PIX inside IP address 192.168.57.1?Is it possible that I can enable IP routing on the 3560 Switches , create interface VLAN 36 and since already Switch 2 has it 's default gateway as 192.168.57.1 , Would the traffic from 192.168.36.0 be routed to 192.168.57.1 ? Or do I need to create static route for that ?Since L3 Routing is not enabled and since the 3560 Switches are just acting as L2 , the VLAN 2 - 192.168.57.0 range does not have any interface VLAN configured. When it is changed I would need to create interface VLAN 2 on 3560 Switches?
View 18 Replies View RelatedI'm building the below network configuration:
WAN -------- ASA5505 ------<802.1q trunk>----- L3 switch -----<802.1q trunk>----- L2 switch w/ VLAN support
The following VLANs exist on the ASA and both switches: VLAN 10 (10.10.10.0/24), VLAN 11 (10.10.11.0/24), and VLAN 99 (10.10.99.0/24).
The ASA5505 performs the following functions: routing to/from the WAN, firewall, NAT, and DHCP for each VLAN. It has an interface on each VLAN (10.10.x.2) for a DHCP server.
The L3 switch provides inter-VLAN routing and layer 2 switching. The L2 switch provides layer 2 switching, with VLAN support.
What should the default gateway on the L3 switch be? Should I set the IP of the physical interface connected the L3 switch to the ASA5505.
I would like to know if ip helper-address feature is working on a layer 2 switch (2950,2960) or you should use a Layer 3 switch to do that?

I think that is necessary to configure the connection between the firewall and switch as layer 3 ( a port with IP address in the switch), but I would like to know why? The switch is configured with about 10 vlan and it is a inter vlan routing, a default route is configured in the switch where the gateway is the firewall.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI want to setup VLAN with the switches SG300 and SLM2024. What is the suggestion to connect these 2 switches. We have the Juniper net screen.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Cisco SG 300-20 as the core switch, layer 3. It is 192.168.4.6 on VLAN1 and 192.168.5.1 for VLAN2 (VOIP). All the ports are set in trunk mode. DHCP relay is setup on this switch.
The phones connected into a layer 2, Catalyst 2960-S switch. All ports are set in trunk mode. Default gateway on it is set to 192.168.5.1.
DHCP for both VLANs is provided by a Windows Server 2008 R2 server (the relay IP 192.168.4.15).
There is also an ASA 5510 in the mix which is 192.168.4.1. It has a route added to it for the 192.168.5.0 network to go to the SG 300 (192.168.5.1).
Just the two switches can ping each other on the 192.168.5.x network when I "add vlan 2" to the trunk port that is connected between the SG 300 and the 2960. The phones don't get DHCP on the 2960 switch. And I cannot ping 192.168.5.x from the ASA or anything else on the 192.168.4.x network.
After a bit of reading on intra-vlan routing for the SG 300 switch, I am thinking the SG 300 has to be the "center" of things so I need to make it 192.168.4.1 to be the gateway for both VLANs and change the ASA to 192.168.4.2 for VLAN1, etc. And I really can't do asymmetric routing with this switch.
Does the Model "WS-C2960-24PC-L" Supports IP Routing or not?
