Cisco Switching/Routing :: 3550 / 3560 - Can Multiple Connection Between 2 Switches
Jul 9, 2012
For some special arrangement, I would like to connect 2 access ports from a 3550 switch to 3560 switch.1 port for vlan 200, another port for vlan 201.Will this introduce bad thing to the switches?
We have 7 3560's in 7 different locations connected to our providor for wan access. Our provider has given us a copper cable at each point and we have connected it directly to our 3560 switch at each location. Each port is configured the same way at each location. Each switch is running eigrp.All of the switch ports on each switch are configured as a trunk and vlan 299 had the ip address for the eigrp connection: [code] This setup is working as each switch see's all of the other switches as an eigrp neighbor. We have also made sure that the switch at our head office has spanning tree priority for vlan 299.
So the problem is, if there is a change in the topology at one of the locations it usually causes one or more of the other connections to go down for some reason. We just cannot pinpoint what is causing this change. There are no log's or anything other than an eigrp hold time expired message.?
I have a network with static routes witch I need to convert to OSPF.Never used OSPF, and do not have much experience in routing in general.The netvork is connected via some fiber links, but moastly wireless bridges.I have attached a drawing of how the network is.Routers are 3550, 3560 and 3750s.Each router is on a different physical site.
I have one 3550 switch and i upgraded from 12.1 to 12.2(44)SE . But "tclsh" command is not enabled on this version. As per Cisco, 12.2(25)S is enough to enable TCL interpreter.
Is L3 ip routing on by default in 3550s? If so is the "ip routing" command visible in the config file? If no - I assume that one would enable L3 routing with that config command.In general terms are there any IOS devices where ip routing is enabled and one would not see the "ip routing" command in config. I.E. if that command is not visible in the config could you assume there is no L3 capablity in that device?
I am a fairly basic configs that I just can’t figure out what I am doing wrong. I have what I would consider a fairly basic config that I just can’t seem to get to work and I am sure it is something I am just not doing or grasping. Basically I have two 3560 switches that I would like to connect together with four 1Gb ports and trunk four vlans across said port-channel, I created the port-channel and set it to switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q I then set all four ports to channel-group # mode on. With that setup I can’t ping from switch to switch on the nonnative vlan.
We have a customer that is relocating thier headquarters. They have a temporary requirement to bridge multiple vlans or a router T3 link to the new location as they cannot change the IP subnets. Setup is 3560 switch connecting to a 3845 then T3 to remote 3845 and 3560. I need to bridge multiple VLANs. I have seen a good example on how to do it over sonet but I don't see how to translate that to an HDLC or Frame Relay encapsulation for the T3 Link.
I'm new to networking and was looking for some assistance. First off im using packet tracer to diagram my senario as I will be receiving my equipment next week to deploy.
Hardware to be used:
1. 2 catalyst 3560 switches 2. all connect to a sonic wall router
I have two companies that work in the same office space. I need to keep these companies seperate on their own vlan. They will however need to share the phone system.(Packet tracer file uploaded to give those who have the time to see what I put together.) [code]
i have an OM1 MMF fiber run between two switches, the first being a 3750 and the second being a 3550.
The link currently exceeds the maximum distance for OM1 @ 1000Mb/s (220m) so i would like to downgrade the link to 100FX using the necessary SFP's/GBIC's to extend the maximum distance to 550m and run the link @ 100Mb/s.
I have the part code for the 100FX SFP to install in the 3750 (GLC-GE-100FX) but cant find a 100FX GBIC for the 3550, can I use a 1000SX GBIC (WS-G5484) for the 3550 at one end and the 100FX SFP at the other? Any success with this configuration over MMF?
We encouter problems flow between two switches at work. The first is a Cisco 3550 and the second is an Alcatel 6400. For the tests, I connected a PC on each switches on acces port. The 2 switches are connected by a trunk port (the 24th for each switches).
I forgot to tell that the 2 switches are on the same vlan (5). I made some tests and it takes about 2 minutes to transfer 45mo from one pc to the other one.
I can give a part of the configuration :
! Stack Manager :! Chassis :system name vxTargetsystem daylight savings time disable! Configuration:! VLAN :vlan 1 disable name "VLAN 1"vlan 5 enable name "toip"vlan 5 port default 1/1vlan 5 ip 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0! VLAN SL:!

AAA :aaa authentication console "local"aaa authentication telnet "local"aaa [code] ..............
My cisco 3550 EMI switch is not responding to power connection. I have checked and changed power cable. its still not working.fan is not running and no lights on front panel
Is it possible to have ether-channel across 2 switches? As an example, having a server with 2 ports connect, 1 port to Switch-A and the other to Switch-B and then use those two links on the sepatate switches but to the same server to form an Etherchannel.
Is there a way to configure a DHCP server for my internal subnet of 192.168.20.1 which is on a 3550 layer 3 switch from my 5505 ASA Firewall.My subnet of 10.1.1.0/30 is connecting my 5505 to 3550. All I'm trying to do is run a DHCP server down to my hosts. The only options on ASA 5505 is
dhcpd address 192.168.20.1 - 192.168.20.254 outside or inside, which conflicts with my subnet of 10.1.1.0 used to connect my internal subnet of 192.168.20.1 for the whole network.
When I used my router it did not need the (inside, outside) keywords and just an ip helper-address command. How do I configure my my firewall DHCP server to propagate the 192.168.20.0 network through my 10.1.1.0 connection.
Was building a small network in Cisco Packet Tracer and ran in to an issue. I have 4 routers running OSPF, and off one of the routers I have 5 3560 Multilayer switches. The router that the switches hang off of, I have a sub-interface with dot1q encapsulation, set for vlan 10 and an IP Address. 10.14.16.1/24. The switches have interface vlan 10 configures, and have IPs in the same subnet. From that router, I can ping/telnet to all the switches without issue. My problem arises when I try and reach those switches from any other router. OSPF is set to redistribute static and connected subnets.The routing table is populated correctly on all the routers. When I ping and trace the packet, it looks like it makes it all the way to the respective switch, but the packet never makes it back. I've played with the default route on the switches to no avail. Am I trying to implement this incorrectly, or am I just missing something?
whether VSS technology support on 3560 switches.I'm planning to intergrate new Cisco 2x6509 with VSS and all the access swtiches 3560's uplink to core 6509..if not support, what will be the solution or any bug fixing or new IOS releasing
In cisco documentation for the 3560 it is mentioned that blocking appletalk will not work .It shows up in command line but it is not working due to hardware limitation.Is there any other way to block appletalk on 3560 swiitches.
I have a question about RSPAN, is this feature only supported on 6500 and 4500 switchs?
we have 2 3560 switches and want to use RSPAN to monitor different source ports.I checked thorugh the cisco feature navigator and the IOS we have on 3560 has the RSPAN fature listed in them.
OSPF normally only comes with IPservices image and not IP Base image. The 3560-C series data sheet says that it only suport IP Base image, yet it mentions that support for OSPF in included. Are there any restictions in the OSPF support?.
I have a 5K with 5 downstream 3560's. I now have a new 5k that I would like to add to the existing 5K as a HA peer. What is the best way to accomplish this with the least amount of downtime for the downstream switches.On the 3560's, i plan setting up port-channels once HA is setup on the 5k's.
We have a couple of Cisco switches and connected a (Windows 7) laptop to one of them and it gets its IP address from a DHCP server.I can now ping the IP from all of the switches, no problem, also not when I log on to the core switch in the same VLAN as both notebooks. But from my (Windows 7) laptop, which is in the same VLAN as the target laptop, I cannot ping it.
I checked, default gateway is good on both sides, as are DNS servers.
I have a Cisco 3560 connected via fiber to a Nortel 1612G. The connection is up/up, the V LAN's on the switch work as needed, but I can not ping the switch from the Nortel, and as a result I can not remote into the Cisco for management. I see in the configuration for the trunk that it is configured for a native v LAN, but I don't see it defined which v LAN's are allowed, could this be the issue? I will provide some of the config information for the Cisco side, I understand the issue may be on the Nortel end but if the Cisco part looks OK?
Port config for the trunk:
interface GigabitEthernet0/49 description port_6_1612G switch port trunk encapsulation dot1q switch port trunk native v LAN 120 switch port mode trunk
I have a connection between switches, There are a 3560 (Gi0/37) and a 2960 (Gi0/1), the problem is in the port Gi0/37 of the 3560 switch and this is the log. [code]
I dont understand what is the problem, actually i have added the command power inline never on the port and the problem is solved, but we haven´t changed configuration.
We have two Cisco switches with one 3560 and one 3750 we have created a new Vlan 4 with IP 10.1.3.x 255.255.255.0 - no shut then assigne to gi 2/0/46 on the 3560 Vlan 4 ip address 10.1.3.x 255.255.255.0 no shut then assign to FA0/45. All interfaces are up up along with the Vlan up up, we can ping the local IP address bu not able to pint the other switch.
We are in the process of rolling out iPads to our offices. As part of this implementation, we need to print from the iPads to our network printers. Our network printers are mostly HP and Xerox and do not have native Apple AirPrint capabilities. As such, we have been using the FingerPrint software to share out the network printers as Apple AirPrint printers. We have a mixture of switches at our offices. Most offices utilize a 3550 PoE switch. In these offices the AirPrint traffic is being transferred successfully and everything works great. In the offices which are using 3560 PoE switches, the traffic is never seen at the iPads. We are using EnGenius EAP300 access points connected into the Cisco switches to provide wireless access to the iPads. Both 3550 and 3560 switches are running iOS 12.2(25). What might be stopping/blocking the AirPrint traffic on the 3560 switches?
I have a couple of 3560 switches running c3560-advipservicesk9-mz.122-44 and they are randomly experiencing the following:
- The switch locks up with no preceding error message in the log (I am forwarding syslog to Splunk).
- Upon reboot, the switch goes through the normal startup sequence with no error messages, then for some reason reloads the flash and starts all over again. (refer to doc)
This could happen after days or weeks. Sometimes they will go through two of these reloads on boot and be fine for awhile, and other times they will be stuck in the loop infinitely. I am using this same image with all of our 3560s, but am only having this issue with two of them.
I have 3 3560 switches which are configured with trunks between them. They run vlan 10, 11 & 12. I have a 'core' switch (switch 1) of these 3 to which an MPLS router is connected on vlan12. I in addition have another switch hanging off the 'core' switch via a routed link (switch 4). I have EIGRP configured as a stub and as such the IP address on the routed link at the core switch end is of a /24 from v lan 1 on the other switch. This makes the route directly connected and therefore distributed via EIGRP stubs. Switch 1 is then exchanging routes with the MPLS router (via EIGRP).
The problem I have is that from any sub net on any switch (switch 1, 2 or 3) I can ping 192.168.13.1 (switch 4). When I try and ping switch 4 from over the MPLS I am unable to. If I trace to the switch I see it reaches the outside of the MPLS router, but is then unresponsive. The same applies if I try to ping switch 1 on 192.168.13.2. Any of the other IP addresses of switch 1 respond.
The MPLS network is a managed solution to which I have no access. I'm told that the MPLS provider is able to ping switch 1 & switch 4 on the 192.168.13.x addresses from a remote router (192.168.32.2). I have tried from a switch on the same L2 sub net (192.168.32.1) and I don't get a response.
From switch 4 I am able to ping the switch on 1 of it's interfaces (192.168.19.1), but not the interface I mentioned above 192.168.32.1. There are no access lists in place on the switches and no firewalls between the sites.
I have 3560's in my current environment, operating in the core/distro/access layers. The switches are in a star configuration, performs only layer 2 switching, and utilizes copper (no plans on moving to fiber).
With a fairly limited budget, I've been contemplating on upgrading the central node to a stacked 3750X to eliminate that single point of failure, and trunk the rest of the 3560's to the stacked switch. I wanted to be sure that the 3750X switches will be right for my environment (90-100 hosts), and if what I explained above is a good solution.
I'm also looking like to upgrade 6-7 of my servers (and SAN) with 10GB network cards. Do the ports on the 3750X have port densities capable of 10GB? If not, what switches provide that capability?
I need to support a bunch of security cameras mounted on poles in our parking lot and an IP intercom system mounted on some gates. Because of environmental factors the switches at the poles need to be hardened and the spec from the vendor installing the gear is for GarretCom Industrial unmanaged switches which would make sense.
However when Information Security got wind of this scheme they (probably correctly) are requiring me to secure the ports that these unmanaged switches connect to. I have 2 choices: port security w/ MAC filtering or 802.1x. Because all the devices at the poles and gates support 802.1x and because I may need to go out there to troubleshoot stuff (and will invariably forget to add the MAC of whatever device I am using) I would prefer 802.1X multi-auth mode.
Problem: When I ran a quick test on a test 3560 running some 15.0.1 code I could get a laptop to connect via 802.1x EAP-TLS successfully if it was directly connected but when I connected the same laptop via a dumb Netgear switch I confiscated from a luser it would not connect. The 3560 error said that the laptop never responded.
Question: Before I spend a whole lot of time on this, is this something that should work? I don't see any practical use for the feature if it won't however the documentation I am using specifically mentions downstream hubs but I am not sure if they mean real hubs (which I don't think are even made anymore) or if they mean unmanaged switches.
I plan to try a couple of different unmanaged switches tomorrow and digg a little but I would like to know if I am wasting my time on something that will never work or if there is a little gotcha somewhere.
I have two Cisco Small Business SF 100D-16 switches, one was a spare. I have run out of ports on the first one and would like to run the other one in series to new devices across the office. I'd prefer not to buy a bigger switch at the moment, but can I run one switch into the other without any adverse effect on the network.
I'm running an optical broadband connection and so far the system is fast and stable, running 8 VOIP phones, 8 laptops and 4 printers.
Does a portable RPS device either from Cisco or another manufacturer exists, that would allow you to move primary power for a switch without causing an outage? I realize that for the Catalyst 3560 for example, you can get an RPS 2300 or 675, but my understanding is that these are made for a more permanent installation, not to mention rather costly.
It looks like the RPS 675 is rather inexpensive after all, especially in the secondary market, but still rather large for toting around.
