I've previously used trunkports and vlans between my ASA and accesspoints, connected directly. Now I want to put a 2960S-24PS-L bewteen. Where should i define the vlans (in the switch or in th ASA?) and what ports to put in trunk mode? (the ones on the switch or the one between the switch and the ASA?)
View 1 RepliesWe have around a dozen Catalyst 3560 and 2960 switches in a ring topology. We are considering adding storm control to our trunk ports. Up until now we have only used it on edge ports with default values and without error-disable.I am proposing that we also add storm control to trunk ports at a lower level and that we error-disable only the redundant links that make up our loops.
-storm-control broadcast level 25.00 20.00
-storm-control multicast level 2.00 1.00
-storm-control action shutdown [only on redundant links]
In a storm all links will restrict broadcast which should work accessing remote switches, but the redundant links should errdisable and block the redundant path. It is important that the action line is not applied to links that are not redundant as we could isolate parts of the network. Any reason not to use storm control on trunks?
I have been experiencing discards and no buffers errors on my 2950 switches. These switches are connected to two core switches 4948 and 3560G. I have noticed previous posts regrading these problems but have been unable to find any cases that were resolved. We are using 12.1(22)EA11 software on our 2950 switches.

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.

switchport trunk allowed vlan add 72

So far so good. But when making the same command for port FastEthernet0/48 my switch stuck.
I have 2 hosts, 1 plugged in fa 0/21 in VLAN 101 and another in fa 0/22 in VLAN 101 on our L2 Cisco 2960. If I try and transfer files from either host the gig 0/1 trunk port on the 2960 leading tot he 3750 fa 0/1 port hits 100mb (using a real time bandwidth monitor tool), but why? This VLAN is on the same switch, why does it go one way up the trunk to the L3 3750 switch? The L3 3750 is the VTP server and the 2960 is a client. I would of thought the traffic stays local. The 2 hosts don't even have a gateway set.To sum up the typology the 2960 and 3750 are trunked using a single cable. The 3750 hangs of a ASA firewall using SVIs.Here is whatthe traffic looks like when copying a file between hosts (2gb file).

I have a 2960 switch connected to another. The I need to verify that vlan0010 on one switch is forwarding tagged traffic between the other switch it is hooked up to through the Gi0/1 port. How do I verify this? I have a server that's multihomed (Broadcom) on the other side an it is supposed to be on this vlan with one of it's network interfaces. We had a pwer outage and now it cannot communicate on this vlan. However, everything else on the vlan can reach all the other nodes accept this server in the front of my building. All the devices in the same room are linked to the same switch which has one port (fa0/17) on vlan0010 and can ping eachother just fine. The server is hooked to port 24 on my server room switch and Gigabit port one goes to a fiber converter all the way to the back. It then gets converted from fiber to cat5e again and links into the switch (2960) in the backroom.

I want to be able to access a virtual server conected to the trunk ports from the switch ports. Ports Fa0/1 to 8 are in a vlan port fa0/9 to 16 another vlan etc. Ports Fa0/47 and 48 are the trunk ports. This is a lab environment so the the switch is the only device being used.
View 4 Replies View Relatedwe have a scenario that consists of a Cisco 4507 series core switch with more than 20 vlans which is connected to a C2960G switch( in a nearby building) using a trunk by a fiber connection. Up to this point everyhting is fine . VTP domain is configured on the core switch and we have all of the 20 vlans present correctly on the edge 2960G wich is part of course of this same VTP domain.the fiber connection goes from core switch to a "in the middle location" where we have a fiber patch panel that is connected in a jumper style to another fiber patch panel going to the destination building where the C2960G sits.
Now imagine that Fiber connection from this middle location to the destination C2960 edge switch is down for any possible reason meanwhile the fiber connection from Core switch 4507 to the middle location is still intact.In the same time, in this middle location , we do have a wireless connection which links 1 Cisco 3750G switche ( a different infrastructure and different VTP domain) to another C3560G switch which sits on the same Room in the nearby destination building where we have the edge C2960G, An idea came to me is to connect one of the fiber port (core) in the intact fiber patch panel coming from Core switch 4507 TO an access vlan configured switchport in the 3750G switch ( this switchport will belong to a vlan designed only to trasmit the vlans on the trunk coming from 4507 core switch say VLAN 10) then connect one VLAN 10 access switchport to the destination C2960 edge switch ( the switchport on the c2960G is still a trunk)Will this solution work and all of the 20- 4507 core switch vlans arrive to the destination C2960G ? Or we do need something that tags the 2 VLAN 10 switchports like switchport dot1q tunnel like QinQ

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have two questions for a Cisco 2960 (WS-C2960-24TC-L)
1. I am working to setup a few Cisco 2960 switches for HP iLO access to our servers. We are going to segregate the iLO network (VLAN 40) from the data network (VLAN 10) by using a different VLAN. All of the HP servers will be configured with static addresses. My question is, how do I set all the ports to VLAN 40 so that untagged devices will automatically go onto VLAN 40? I don't want to have to configure the VLAN on each iLO port on the server. I tried to set the port to: "switchport trunk native vlan 40", but that didn't work.
2. Also, how do you access the web GUI for these switches? I get a login box, but putting in the enable password doesn't work. I have the following commands in the config: [code]
We have a 2960 switch which is connected to the core via a VLAN trunk. We have disabled broadcast port suppression but, the 2960 is shutting is shutting 2 ports down on the network and this looks like excessive braodcast.

we recently aquired a managed services job and have to do a overhaul of the vlan configs and have a whole dozen WC2948G's trunk between a set of ports as well as trunk out a LAG channel setup to non cisco equipment. the deal is the lacp-channel works properly on both ends but no routing of vlans between ports and between the lag trunk are working.
theres alot of settings in the config and im planning on clearing it and starting from scratch but before i do i want to know where my problem lies.

I've run into an odd problem - I have connected two 2960s together with copper on FastEthernet interfaces, and STP on the new switch immediately puts that port into blocking mode. I don't understand why this would be, since there is only one connection between the two, in fact, there is only one connection at all on the switch that is blocking.
View 6 Replies View RelatedOn a low-end switch like a 2960 the maximum VLANs is 255, as shown in the output of VTP status:
Maximum VLANs supported locally : 255
Number of existing VLANs : 245
When the VTP mode is changed to transparent, VLANs from the extended range can be added without increasing the number of existing VLANs - e.g. if I create VLANs 3000 - 4000 the number of existing VLANs is still listed as 245.
If MST is used to cut down on the number of spanning-tree instances - and assuming propagation of VLAN configuration via VTP is not required - is there any downside to using transparent-mode VTP to increase the number of available VLANs? It does feel like I'm cheating the maximum listed in the datasheet.
As per the attached diagram: How do I configure the 2 ports on the 3560 (Ports 6 & 7) and the connected ports on each of the 2960 switches (Port 25) to provide redundancy.
If the up link from Switch A dies then I need the traffic to flow through the trunk and utilize the up link on Switch B with minimal delay (milliseconds).
I have a Cisco Catalyst 2960 series switch. When I connect another switch or a VMWare Esx server on one of the ports, the port blinks for few seconds and then goes off. When I connect a desktop or laptop or a windows server the ports stay led and I can access resources on the network. However, when connect another switch or a vmware esx server, the port is disabled.
What config in the switch can I check to make sure the ports stay on regardless when I connect a desktop / laptop, switch or vmware server?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI received the following info from Cisco's TAC and wanted to inquire further before I start reconfiguring the switch:
In a redundant Sup-6E setup, the following configuration is supported :
- 1 TenGig uplink on Active Sup and 1 TenGig uplink on Standby Sup
- 1 TenGig uplink on Active Sup and 2 Gig uplinks on Standby Sup
- 2 Gig uplinks on Active Sup and 1 TenGig uplink on Standby Sup
- 2 Gig uplink on Active Sup and 2 Gig uplinks on Standby Sup
If you invoke shared backplane mode, the following configuration can also be supported:
- 2 TenGig uplinks(blocking) on Active Sup and 2 TenGig uplinks on Standby Sup
- 2 TenGig uplink(blocking) on Active Sup and 4 Gig uplinks on Standby Sup
- 4 Gig uplinks on Active Sup and 2 TenGig uplinks(blocking) on Standby Sup
- 4 Gig uplink on Active Sup and 4 Gig uplinks on Standby Sup

Currently, we have 2 SUP 6-Es(Module 5 - Active and Module 6 - Stand-by) setup in a redundent mode. I am planning on changing the redundent mode to the shared backplane mode so I can use 2 TenGig converters to uplink 2 access-switches. We purchased 2 TenGig converters and here is how I am planning on using them:
1- One will be used to uplink to two 3750 switches(stacked)
2- One will be used to uplink to a 2960 using a Gig SFP
My questions are:
1- Do I have to install the 2 TenGig converters(4-Gig Uplinks) in the same Module? Or can I use one one in module 5 and the second one in module 6?
2- Will changing the redundant mode to the shared backplane mode require rebooting the switch or disrupt the funtionality of the other linecards?

and my question are, whether the "auto" trunk mode in switch layer 3 is a default mode or not? and why i should enter "sw mode dynamic desirable" command before "sw mo trunk" command ?
