We have a 2960 stack of 4 WS-C2960S-24PS-L switches.Sometimes, at random, the stack crashes and reboots. I have downloaded the crashinfo file and can see the following error.

We have two switches WS-C2960S-24TS-L running in stack with running IOS c2960s-universalk9-mz.122-55.SE3.We have connected two checkpoint devices on Gi1/0/24 and Gi2/0/24 with a simple configuration:
interface range GigabitEthernet1/0/24, gi2/0/24
switchport access vlan x
switchport mode access
spanning-tree portfast
On the devices log we get the following message:
%SW_MATM-4-MACFLAP_NOTIF: Host 0000.0000.fe21 in vlan x is flapping between port Gi2/0/24 and port Gi1/0/24
The mac-address 0000.0000.fe21 is not found on any checkpoint interface. "Show mac-address int gi1/0/24 or gi2/0/24" does not show the correct mac-address of the checkpoint interface connected to the port, but instead shows 0000.0000.fe21.Is there a bug in the IOS, something wrong with the switch config or does it have something to do with the checkpoint config?
I have a customer with a stack of two switches C2960S-24TS-L that are running 12.2(58)SE2 universal K9, we see that the CPU load increase over time, to 95% and stays there reload solves the problem.the process that akes a lot of CPU is also the SNMP ENGINE, I see that it is running 30 minutes on 95% and then 10 minutes on 35%, this is the only stack were we see this problem. Is there also a SNMP bug in this version ?

After searching online i have no seeing nothing about disable the feature of the stack so i configure the priority for the "switch 1" to 15 and configure it the switches 2, 3 and 4 to no provision, although this switches don´t exist:
SW_ACCESS(config)#switch 1 priority 15
Changing the Switch Priority of Switch Number 1 to 15
Do you want to continue?[confirm]

With this new configuration the switch has rebooted again.Why on a standalone switch the stack is rebooting my system?Is it any feature to disable the stack?

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 1 Replies View RelatedHow would I go about stacking 4 Cisco Catalyst 2960-48PST-L switches? The one switch needs to accept a fiber connection from a distribution switch. Do I have to buy flexstack module and cables? If so where does the module go on the switch? If this switch cannot do this set up, any other switch I should look at.
View 6 Replies View RelatedThis is probably a dumb question, but I have read the 2960 stack administration guide and it does not explain how to configure the stack IP address. It says several times that the stack can be managed from the stack IP address, and that the stack IP address is a system-level configuration item. But it never explains how to configure the stack IP address.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWe 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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedOn first floor, I have two stack switches and each stack has got 4 switches. they all are working fine.Now the client would like to add one more stack on the 2nd floor. But the second floor switches are different when compared to the 1st floor switches.
can you have differnt IOS among different stacks. I knew in a stack we need all the switches should have same IOS version. But in between two stacks to communicate do we need same IOS or they can be on differnet IOS?
1st floor switches have 15.0 version and 2nd floor new switches has 12.2.58. Is this ok ?
1st floor switches are 3500 series ( Note: only one one Vlan 20 we are using on the both stack switches and we would like add same Vlan 20 on to the new stack)
2nd floor switches aew 2 catalyst 2960 switches.
Note: on the second floor switches one is 24 port switch and the other one is 48 port switch. so can i make them as a stack?
We have already done cabling from 1st floor to second floor. So no problem with that at all.
I have two Cisco 48 port Catalyst 2960-S series SI. Instead of buying the pricy stack modules can I only use the SFP+cable to connect them as stack? which type of SFP+cable should I buy? do I need any license to use those SFP ports?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a question for Cisco Cat.2960-s Flex Stack switches which are installing on our sties. Two of 2960-s Stack switches as access switch and two of Cisco ME 3600X Series as distribution layer switches are to be installed in our sites. In case of two stack switches, One is will be a Master and the other one will be a member logically, as you know. So, if the master fails, the other one automatically becomes the stack master following a well-documented election process.
Now, it is my question. How long takes to be a stack master from a member switch ? I cant find it on white paper of Cat.2960-s flex stack .
And also, I heard that sometimes a member switches don't election process when the master fails as a result, all stack members become
a panic. Is that really right ? In addition, I heard that the stack switches have many troubleshooting points than stand alone switches.
I really wanna know if the stack switches are good solution for resilience of huge network site. I'm waiting an answer from those who have experience of maintenance or installation.
Is there a stacking cable that is "bent"?Im using this cable:"CAB-STACK-50CM", "Cisco StackWise 50CM Stacking Cable".But it takes up to much room in the back of the switch, is there such a thing as "bent" stacking cable.

A site that i am responsible for has the following equipment installed:
2 x 3750G Switches configured as a stack using Stackwise - Collapsed Core/Distribution Layer
5 x 2960G Switches as Access Layer switches
WAN connections into the Core/Distribution Layer are all Gigabit Ethernet over Fibre.This is a dedicated CCTV Network with 50 Cameras all streaming video into the Core (decoders connected to access switches)Each 2960G has 2 links to the Core/Distribution 3750G Switches, 1 to each switch - Gigabit.I'm running rapid-pvst on all switches, so spanning tree is blocking one of the ports and effectively halving the 2 gig bandwidth. Next year our customer is going to add in a further 50 - 60 cameras.After monitoring the current loading on the ports in use, we have suggested to the customer that the 2 connections to each should be Ether-channeled together.

First interface takes commands no problem, keep getting the message that etherchannel cannot be configured across different switches in a stack when i try to put the second interface commands on.

I am looking for a reasonable switch but it has do do inter-VLAN Routing. I know I could go with a 3560/3750 with IP Services but I am also thinking the 2960S with IP Base IOS might do?
I have looked up the IP Base IOS and it does list IP Routing but how to actually configure inter-VLAN Routing on a 2960S with IP Base?

I have three new 2960 switches as listed in the title. I configured them as follows:
192.168.1.215 host: whse-c
192.168.1.216 host: whse-b
192.168.1.217 host: whse-a
Switches B and C flow into A before continuing on into the server room switch (distance issues).All three switches are configured for ports 21-24 at 1000 and set as cisco switches. all other ports are undefined as they have a myriad of desktops, printers and non cisco access points flowing into them. side question - should i configure them as access points where applicable even if they are non cisco? I am replacing three netgear switches that currently are in place and have no known issues other than they are old and the fans may fail soon.hooked up .217. was able to get to it from the network. Hooked up 215 and then 216. All the sudden I lost the ability to tap into the switches, any of them. (I think I had done 215 at that point too, before adding 216. I found out later it took the network to its knees as internet was lost, and the MPLS stopped functioning.
I undid the changes and put the netgears back in service and all was right with the world again. At first I thought it was a bad host name as I had used whse-a on switch C in error. I changed that after this issue.Later that day I put 215 in place. checked it from the network and could get to it just fine. Then I put 216 in service. I lost connection to 215. I could no longer get to the internet from my pc and the MPLS went down again. This time I just unhooked 216. 215 is still in place and working on the network at the moment and not causing issues. (btw these switches are not even in my path from my pc to the internet, just on the same network) tomorrow I am going to try 217 again while 215 is still on the network and see if there are any issues adding that swtich. if I can do so, and there are no problems, is this an indication of a faulty switch? what further testing can I do, have I missed something in setup? If this brings the network down again, why cant i add two of these switches to each other/on the same network path (B and C were not even connected to each other yesterday evening when it went down again).
