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 RepliesCan I have two different routers (different subnets) on one cisco 3500XL switch and still be able to communicate between the two? If so how can I do it?

have a Switch I bought off a guy at work. Just to get into the Switching world of Cisco. He doesnt know the password on it and i cant reset the switch. I would like to mess around with it more but it doesnt load the flash or helper. It just sits there and holds. I have tried the password recovery and everything. Trust me, everything is correct, but it wont work for me. I cant load a new image to it because I dont have access to a server to get it from.

I am trying to configure a switch that was given to me. They don't know the password to anything. I have already tried to recover it. The problem is, the switch doesn't load flash, or will copy flash from xmodem either. It also doesnt load the helper or boot. It is user mode and lets me do nothing. It doesnt let me use the enable command to get into it. I would like to start the config from scratch. Its a 3500xl switch, 24 ports. I dont know what to do with it. I am trying to study for my CCENT Exam and would like a switch that worked.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am trying to configure a 3500XL switch (and I know its old). I get to the int fa 0/1 line and thats where it all stops working.
switch#(config-if)#switch port mode access
switch#copy run start
or
switch#(config-if)#switch port mode access
switch#sh run int fa 0/1
It will show the configuration for port fa 0/1 as if I hadn't entered the "switch port mode access" command. Or any other command for that matter. Why the switch is not holding configuration and seemingly loses it as soon as you exit out of each interface?
I have a client whom has asked me to enable web management on some of his 2960 switches. I did not think this was going to be an issue, and so I told the customer I would set this up for him.
Much to my dismay, I have been able to get http and https enabled, and then authenticating locally for the HTTP access. I then come to the screen once authenticated which is shown below:
The issue is that when I select "Web Console", it gives me a "Web Page Cannot be found".
I have three 4506 switches with vlan 4 set as the management vlan. Switch 1 is connected to switch 2 and switch 3.
I can access switch 1 and 2 using telnet from the management vlan and both switches reply to pings. But from switch 1 or 2 I cannot ping or telnet switch 3. If I plug into switch 3 and I can ping and telnet switch 3 but not switches 1 or 2.
It is as if the management vlan 4 is not being passed to/from switch 1 and 3. The configs for the uplinks from switch 1 to 2 and 3 are the same. And the configs for switches 2 and 3 look the same apart from the port settings.
I have over 40 vlans running all that work fine between all the switches.
1. How I can manage those devices, the Switch and the router? What is the BEST SOLUTION to manage this devices?
2. I want to monitor the traffic on this environment, how I can do it? How I can monitor the traffic from customer A, Customer B, and my own LAN traffic, in terms of bandwidth that has passed throught my devices? Is it possible to monitor on MY LAN, or I have to monitor from the EXTERNAL switch?
3. How I can limit the bandwidth? I was trying to configure it using access list, with policy-map, etc....and limit this on each interface. [code]
The interface does not support the specified policy configuration and/or parameter values.Assigning a policy map to the output side of an interface not supported.With I few reading, I could see that the SWITCH 3750 doesnt support this configs.My INTERNET LINK is 30 Mbps, the ports on the Switch (WS-C3750X-48P-L) are Gigabit Ethernet.How I can limit the bandwidth here? For example, How I can limit a interface to 3Mbps..I was thinking about this:
- Limit the interface to 10Mbps: speed 10
- and limit the interface with 30% of this speed: srr-queue bandwidth limit 30
Does this work for both UPLOAD and DOWNLOAD?When the packets passes that 3Mbps limitation, will they be droped?

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

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?

I 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. The other two switches in the other building are running OSPF, I am trying to connect to the other building and access a server which is on a switch running OSPF. I am trying to configure the switch here to run OSPF and be able to see the neighbor, but currently can't although I've identified the networks. Maybe I'm missing something, I've followed the instructions but something is not right.
View 15 Replies View RelatedRACK 1 is the old rack and NEW RACK is the rack which is going to be procurred for some new Servers. All the Servers in the RACK 1 has a default gateway as PIX Inside IP. As of now the 3560 Switches acts as Layer 2 and does not have L3 IP routing enabled. 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 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'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?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a switch layer 6500 series connected to a firewall, the port configuration between them is layer 2, in another words I do not configure an IP address in the Cisco switch port to conected it in the firewall, but when a apply a policy on firewall it lose communication with others vlans, just the vlan that is connected between the switch and firewall works, attachment the design. 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.
