Cisco Switching/Routing :: 2960s - Swapping Connection On Both Ends To Spare Pair Of Fibers

Sep 30, 2012

The school I work at upgraded to Cisco Catalyst 2960-S switches, all connected to each other via fiber.  I am seeing a problem with one such connection.  Cisco Network Assistant showed a "4-Warning" regarding the fiber link port: port was disabled because it was fluctuating between up and down too rapidly.  Possible hardware problem, resolve and re-enable.  (I'm paraphasing the message...it was 'acknowledged', and I can't bring it back up.)
 
This message was only showing on our "SV-Copy-Rm" switch's port 49.  The other end, on "SV-Maint-Rm" port 49 showed a normal green link status.
 
Using Internet Explorer, I logged onto SV-Copy-Rm switch's Device Manager, and  I first tried disabling/re-enabling port 49 on SV-Copy-Rm.  It came back up blinking yellow and showing "port has bad link" when I cursor hovered over port 49.  This continued for a few minutes, followed by port 49 being disabled again.
 
The current thing I'm trying is swapping the connection on both ends to a spare pair of fibers.  I'm pretty certain I've swapped to the same pair on both ends, however, now neither switch shows an active link.  I've disabled/enabled the ports on both ends, but still no link.
 
Question: How do I re-establish the above link? (The active connection has 'fallen back' to the designated ethernet Cat 5e connection and is currently running with that connection.)

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Pair Of N7K Distribution Switches Connected To A Pair Of Aggregation Switches

Mar 11, 2012

We have a pair of N7K distribution switches connected to a pair of N7K Aggregation switches.We run vPC on both pairs of n7k's.

-n7k-d1 has two interfaces in a Port-Channel connecting to n7k-a1 & n7k-a2. (PC1)
-n7k-d2 also has two interfaces in a Port-Channel connecting to n7k-a1 & n7k-a2. (PC2)
 
My problem is that Spanning-Tree is blocking PC2 and all traffic from n7k-d2 is traversing the Peer-Link before reaching the Aggregation layer. Is this the best design for connecting two pairs of n7k's with vPC or if a better design would be to connect all 4 links into the same Port-Channel and vPC?

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Process Of Swapping Out Older 24 Port Catalyst 3525 POE

Mar 6, 2013

I am in the process of swapping out an older 24 port Cisco catalyst 3525 POE switch running IOS 12.0(5) with a 48 port POE catalyst 3560 running ios 12.2(50)The trunk port on the older switch (that currently works) is in port Gig0/1 with as basic of a trunk config as you might find.

In the newer switch I have a 1000BaseSX SFP min gbic with a SC-LC fiber cable attached (8.3/125 – 15 meter.When I make the connections, I get no lights… no connection.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: 4507 Spare Supervisor Licensing

Mar 3, 2013

We have ordered a new 4507 chasis with a supervisor engine.We have also ordered a spare supervisor engine.As per Cisco documentation WS-X45-SUP7L-E is shipped with a default IP base license.My question is that is this a e-delivery or a paper base license.The Cisco documentation also states that we can use the same license to upgrade both the redundant and active supervisor from lan base to IP base.

Split A Single 4 - Pair Ethernet Connection Into Two 2 - Pair Ethernet Connections

Dec 28, 2011

I've got a router on which I run a backup/media/print server, a couple of computers and a voip box. My router has only four ethernet lan sockets which are thus all occupied by the above, but I need to attach at least one further device b

Secondly, could a splitter such as >> this one << do the job? I'm guessing this basically split a single 4-pair ethernet connection into two 2-pair ethernet connections.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: ERSPAN On Nexus 5596 HSRP Pair

Jul 6, 2012

We have HSRP between NexusA and NexusB with access layer switches connecting to the core using VPC, We are trying to setup a VAM  server Voice recording for Siemens phones. We need to span all voice vlan and point it to the VAM server the VAM server connects to a 3750 Stack considering the amount of traffic multiple span session can generate I plan to move the server to the Nexus directly and run a Local Span Session.

1- As we have two Nexus running HSRP and VAM server only connects physically to one NexusA (I can run local span on that nexusA)  the Second NexusB is not directly connected to the VAM server I plan to run ERSPAN so if this is the best design and which path will the span traffic take from Nexus B to NexusA will it go through the access layer switches depending on the vlans allowed on the uplinks or will it go through the 20 Gig uplink between the two Nexus allowing all vlans (VPN peer links) ? WE have approximately 10 voice vlans, Do we an example config for ERSPAN session where the source are vlans (As I am for fimilliar with RSPAN) ?

Cisco Switching/Routing :: VPC Pair Of Nexus 7K And Servers Connected Directly

Jan 9, 2012

My Data Center has one single core switch where is connected several servers, one port is the link to the router wan and other port is the link to the FW, my boss wants to install 2 nexus in order to replace the single switch. All my network has only one address, for example 192.168.10.0/24 if I connect two nexus 7010 in VPC and Domain, each nexus is going to has 2 modules with 48 port 10/100/1000 rj45 and i wan to connect servers directly to each nexus, with this figure i'm going to have a group of servers connected in two different nexus, Do they can have the same network 192.168.10.0/24 considering that the nexus are in the same vdc and vlan and have only one gateway for both groups? If the answer is positive, which nexus would be the gate way for that address, the primary or secondary? Or i must have a different address for both group of servers, i mean for example 192.168.10.0/24 and 192.168.12.0/24?thus each nexus would be the gateway for that new address?
 
To have two nexus connected by VPC in a Domain mean that one computer connected to one nexus can share the same address or vlan with other computer connected to the other nexus????

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Configuring Nexus 5548 Pair For VLAN?

Mar 18, 2012

I currently have two Nexus 5548UP switches in my environment running the latest code (n5000-uk9.5.1.3.N1.1a.bin).  Both of these switches are connected via a VPC Peer Link (two ports on each switch in an Ether Channel) and a VPC-Keep Alive Link (a dedicated port).  Hosts connect to each switch via a VPC for both IPV4 and FCOE.
  
As of right now, everything works.  I currently have a stack of two 3750 switches that each Nexus is connected to.  This stack is doing all the Intra-VLAN Layer 3 Routing for the Nexus Switches.  However, I plan to get rid of the 3750s, and move the Layer 3 Routing the Nexus 5548's, so the backplane is 10 Gig instead of 1 Gig..  I have the Layer 3 Daughter Card installed in both switches, as well as the LAN_BASE license.
  
So, at the moment, I am trying to find the best way to accomplish Layer 3 Routing on these two switches. Since the Nexus switches are not stacked, and the FCOE portion of HA is taking care of by the Multipathing agent on each host, I believe am just concerned with providing Intra-VLAN routing in an HA build where if one switch goes down, VLANs still route through the other switch.

Again, since the Nexus switches are not stacked, I am guessing the best way to handle this is with HSRP, but my experience with that has always been with routers that have a switch in the middle.  Can I make HSRP work without having a switch between the Nexus switches?  Can I track the VPC peer link, or how do I do it?  I guess I am looking for a sample config.
 
Let's pretend I had two VLANs:
 
VLAN 20: 
10.20.20.254 - GW and 10.20.20.0/24 
VLAN 40 
10.40.40.254 - GW and 10.40.40.0/24
  
And I wanted the Nexus switches to route these VLANs regardless of which switch was up / down..

Cisco Switching/Routing :: 4900M / 2960 - Two L3 Switches As Redundant / Mated Pair?

Nov 6, 2012

There are two Cisco 4900M L3 switches and two Cisco 2960 L2 switches. I need to configure the two L3 switches to operate as a redundant pair, as the servers connecting to them are connecting using bonded interfaces, which can only have one default gateway. So these two L3 switches need to have the same Vlan interface 1, 2 and 3 IP's set onto them.How are the two L3 switches made aware of each other? via a normal trunk? Is there some special configration for configuring a mated/redundant pair of switches? or are they both just configured as though they were the same switch, but linked?

Cisco Switching/Routing :: 6504 VSS Pair Shows Active / Standby On Led But Not In Config

After rebooting a pair of 6504's configured for vss, both switches show active on the sup modules. A show switch virtual redundancy however shows the pair working in an active/standby mode. We have 6509's in vss pairs and they show active on switch1 and standby on switch2 led's. For the 6504's switch 1 was booted first and then the second switch about 30 seconds later. Is there something different with the 6504's? [code]

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Connecting 5548 Pair To 2 6509 Core Switches / No Vss

Jun 8, 2012

connecting a 5548 pair to our core 6509s.  Just want to be sure we don't introduce any issues into the network.The 6509's are connected and perform all the routing.  Essentially, we're moving away from a 3750 stack in the data center and the 5548s are the replacement.  We'd want to limit the vlans to the specific server network vlans. Our current setup is a port channel between the 3750 and each of the 2 6509s for redundancy. I'd like to use the same functionality when we connect the 5548's but I'm looking for what the config should look like to ensure no spanning tree loops are introduced and that it is configured optimally.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Why Does Routing Work Without Declaring Vlan10 On 2960s-24td-l

Oct 28, 2012

I have recently split the voice vlan (10) from the data network (1), and am wondering why my catalysts and router do not require an interface Vlan10 statement.  In the past I used OpenBSD boxes to do the routing, and I first needed to configure vlan 10 on the interface before I could get inter-vlan communication to work.  With these Cisco devices it works, and I am wondering if it is because of VTP, for the fact that the ports maybe just pass all traffic, or is there some other explanation?  Below is the setup, and firmware is up-to-date on all of the devices.
 
When I plug a phone into the POE SGE, the phone turns on, obtains an address on the proper subnet, and conversations are clear (whereas without the ip nat inside on the new subnet the calls had a lot of static).  Possibly the reason that it works is because the phones properly create the tcp/ip packet, and it hops over the trunks and creates the states so that traffic routes back properly.  I will install wireshark to see exactly what is going on, but is there a simple explanation that I am overlooking?

Cisco Switching/Routing :: 2960S MAC Address Control

Feb 20, 2013

I would like to enable port security to hardcode the MAC address on the ethernet switch. There are 5 ethernet ports in the same ethernet switch to be assigned for one person (one note book), e.g. port 5, 6, 15, 16 and 23. The model of ethernet switch is cisco 2960S and one MAC address is configured on 2960S.
 
1. Does 2960S support this requirement to allow input the same MAC address to 5 different port?

2. If yes, can ethernet switch "smart" enough to forward the packages to "active" ethernet port which is connected to notebook and the rest of four ports are inactive.

3. if no, any solution or any work around to achieve this requirement
