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.
View 3 RepliesCompany I work for just moved into a new location. We have two data closets which are patched as independent entities, with no Ethernet tie connection. These closets are roughly 100 feet apart.
There is a fiber connection that runs between both closets, that the previous tenant used to connect the switches. I have placed a Cisco 2960 switch in each location, and added one mini SFP gbic's to each switch. After attaching both sides, neither light up. I do a sh inter gig1/0/49 on each and shows 'down down' (not admin down).
What is the trick on getting these to communciate, do I need to configure these ports, and are they supposed to light up?
What I am trying to accomplish is to get the one closet that is completely cut off, communicating by logically stacking, or 'daisy chaining' via fiber.
I turned off the lights and popped the fiber out, and I do see a faint red light (I did not look straight into it), so I think the fiber is active.
I need to connect 4 Floor Building with 4 Cisco 2960 - 48 ports switch each other and it needs to be through a fiber. So all PCs connected to each switch would reach the LAN/WAN from the other switch. (attached is the image here with)
I see that the 2960 has 2 SFP ports each port of each switch should connect each other or how?
My simple question is:
1. What cable / patch code I have to use = Single-mode or Multimode? ( distance for each switch will not more then 25 mts)
2. Do I have to use SFP or SFP+ module?
3. What kind of SFP/SFP+ module I have to use = Single-mode or Multimode?
4. What kind of connector should patch code have = LC / SC or ?
5. How to connect each switch with redundancy like ...each switch should be interconnected with each other or I have to choose Cisco 3750G which has more then 2 SFP ports (option#1 & opetion#2 = attached here with) =

I have two 2960-s switches with GLC-FE-100FX fibre modules in and I am seeing packet loss over the link that is connected to the modules. When the interface is shutdown and brought back up it always comes up in half duplex even thought it is set to full in the config. I've seen other posts where you have to use the command no duplex then full duplex to get it to come up int full duplex. This does appear to work when I do a show int it says its full duplex however I'm stil seeing 20 - 40% packet loss on the link which suggests to me there is still a speed/duplex issue. The device at the other end is a Cisco 7200 which is set to 100Full. If I plug a Cisco 2811 into the fibre link I get zero packet loss which suggests its a problem with the switch.
I have changed the modules and fibre cables which makes no difference. As I stated at the start I have two 2960's both are showing exactly the same issue. Details of the switch are below the SFP are cisco branded:

I want to connect a Cisco small business switch (sf302-8) to a Cisco catalyst 2960S over a multi mode fiber. The transceiver I am using in the catalyst is a GLC-SX-MM. I presume in the SF302, I will have to use a MGBSX1. My question is "are these transceiver compatible with each other and if not, is there a transceiver that will suit both pieces of hardware?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI had a strange issue yesterday when onsite installing a new access switch.Port capacity full on a two switch stack of 3750 x48 PS switches (WS-C3750- 48PS-E)- New 2960 x48 PS - WS-C2960S-48FPS-L racked, with the plan of using it just as an edge switch via SFP Stacking cable.Setup the two connecting ports with simple initial config: - switchport mode trunk- no encapsulation option on the 2960, default dot1q- dot1q set on 3750 port- no shut on both sides.Connected the SFP Stacking cable but it didnt work:- %PHY-4-SFP_NOT_SUPPORTED: The SFP in Gi1/0/1 is not supported
This is ok as I had a backup:- Next step tried using 2 x Short Haul SFP SX GBIC's with LC - LC OFNP 50/125 fibre patch lead - no joy- Extra backup of 2 x Long Haul SFP LX GBIC's with the same fibre patch - no joy- Checked the fibre and it was not a cross over so transmit and receive going down the same side, switchedand still would not come up.- Used Fibre as a straight through and still the same.In all cases there was no indication of any life in the connection.It is pointing to a faulty fibre patch lead but I know it has worked in the past. Could it be something to do with the config or device incompatibility? Or any setting I need to activate?
I have an existing stack of 4 x 2960-S switches connected by stack cables.I would like to add another 2960-S switch to the stack but am unable to as the 2960-S will only allow 4 x 2960-S switches per stack.how I would add the 5th 2960-S switch to the existing stack of 4 x 2960-S switches.
View 12 Replies View RelatedAt 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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'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.
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 am able to create above smartport macro on Catalyst 3760 & 6500, but not on 2960 & 3750 (see below):switch(config)#macro ? auto Macro autoexecution settings global Enter global macro configuration
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'm working with a customer who has an SGE2000P and a Catalyst 2960 to setup and configure a single mode fiber link. The SGE2000P has an MFELX1 fiber GBIC and the 2960 has a GLC-LH-SMD GBIC. When I have the customer plug in his fiber, there is a power light that comes on on the MFELX1 GBIC. Neither GBICs/switches show that a link or activity is occurring, but the presence of that light makes me think that they are connecting somehow. Are these two switches/GBICs compatible?

I thought there is some configuration on Cisco switch to block "MAC discovery" but i just can not remmenber what was that and google also failed me this time.
