I found that when I enabled layer 2 auto QoS in 3560 switch, I need to wait so much time to open a file in network drive. Howerver, when I disable the Qos. It can improve a lot. I have used a sniffer to capture the packet to see. Those default packet is in DSCP 0. Therefore, I think majority packet will drop to queue 4. How can I increase the buffer and threshold in order to improve queue 4 performance.
View 1 Replies I been practicing with the configuration of layer 3 etherchannel configuration and i am facing a problem here. I have two 3560 switches and i want a layr 3 ether channel configuration setup between the first 2 ports of bothe the switches. I assign IPs to the Port-channel 1 of both the switches "10.1.1.1 /24 and 10.1.1.2 /24" but i am unable to get a successful ping. what am i doing wrong. below are the configs for bothe of my switches.

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.
RACK 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 am setting up a link between buildings that uses wireless links. I'm using Layer 3 routed ports on 2 3560 switches to handle the routing between sites. Normally I would just put these in a /30 and then the switches handle the rest. However, the wireless access points have a web interface for managing them that I want to be able to access, but it's only available on the single NIC that also carries traffic. What would be the best way of making this work? Should I make the link a /29 and give the access points an IP in the same range? If this is the case what do I use for the default gateway for the access points?
I have included a diagram to try to explain the issue clearer. The IP addresses in black are what I would do if this were a standard cable (and indeed this will work, but I wont be able to access the admin interface of the wireless AP) and the red ip addresses are the alternative if I use a /29 (but as I said, I'm not sure what to use for the default gateways).
My first question is I have an access layer switch which is a single VLAN and I am trunking that VLAN to a distribution layer switch, I can ping the gateway on the distribution layer switch for THAT VLAN, But cannot ping the gateway address for the second VLAN I have on the distribution layer switch. I know it is simple, But I have forgotten and just need a push
Also I have a third VLAN set to route traffic not bound for those 2 VLANs out to a router is the statement "ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 172.16.252.2" good enough and do I actually need to create a VLAN for that traffic? and if so, is an access switchport the best option?
I want to setup VLAN with the switches SG300 and SLM2024. What is the suggestion to connect these 2 switches. We have the Juniper net screen.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have the following scenario. Connected to a Cisco 3560 switch (fa0/9) is another Cisco switch (that is operating at layer 2). On the other side of that second switch is a firewall. I want to send traffic from my Cisco 3560 switch to a network behind the firewall. [code] However, when I try to add the ip address to int fa0/9, I get an error. Right now, the 3560 is operating at layer 2. I think that I need to issue the command: "ip routing" to put it in layer 3, then put the ip address on port fa0/9. However, I am concerned that I will mess up my production environment. Is there any other way of doing this? The "ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0" statement sends traffic out the gateway to the Internet. I just want to send packets to 209.52.62.16/28 out int fa0/9.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently was asked to turn a routed link between our HQ and our DR Site into a trunked link to allow us to span our main Server VLAN up to the DR Site.I was informed by the ISP that owns the 100Mb Leased Line between the sites that the link was configured to pass dot1q traffic and I should just have to configure my links at either end as trunks to get the link to come up.
There is a Cisco 3560 at either end with Layer 3 routing enabled (obviously as this was a routed link previously).So, I scheduled an outage and configured either end as a trunk links as follows and repointed any routes from the /30 routed addresses to the management addresses of the switches on either side:
***For info VLAN 15 is the DR Site and VLAN 11 is the Server range at our HQ and was available on the connected switch***
interface FastEthernet0/24

switchport trunk native vlan 15
switchport trunk allowed vlan 11,15

It is understood that sub-50 ms ERPS convergence can be achieved with certain HW/SW combinations.
1) What are the platforms supported (and with what FW/SW) has this been tested ?any results that can be shared?
2) Link failure detection in GigE on Copper is slower compared to GigE over "pure" Fibre; so no sub-50ms would be possible with Copper ring ports.is sub-50ms convergence achievable with "combo SFP ports" ?
My management has tasked me to give them a high level overview of the different switching we can choose for our new building.

We are setting up a test lab in our DMZ. The path to the internet is basically like this. Anything past the firewall is irrelevant. For this lab lets assume it is vlan 300.
LAB SW ---> DMZ-SW ---> ASA FW ---> INTERNET
LAB IP Range = 172.16.300.0 /24
GW = 172.16.300.1 (On FW int)
Trunked all the way through.
I have an int vlan set up on the LAB SW. It is being trunked to DMZ SW. DMZ trunks it to ASA FW where there is a failover with a redundant switch.On the ASA the interface 0/2 is a subinterface 0/2.300 being used as the default gateway.
I have DHCP running in a specific range on the LAB SW and do get an ip address when plugged in. I cannot ping the default gateway on the ASA FW.The GW is defined using default-router command for 172.16.300.1 i.e. default-router 172.16.300.1?
We are running ospf on the firewall. There appears to be a pattern with ospf and a similar subnet setup elsewhere. I was wondering based off of this info would configuring ospf for 172.16.300.0/24 allow me to ping the GW from a client on the LAB SW.Secondly. I trunked 300 on the DMZ SW but I didnt add the vlan to the configuration. i.e. conf t <enter> vlan 300 <enter> Does this really matter? Or is having the vlan in the configuration only pertain to access mode on interfaces?
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 have an environment where i have two nexus 7010 switches, along with 2 nexus 5510's. I need to run OSPF as a layer 3 routing protocol between the vpc peer links. I have 1 link being used as a keep alive link, and 3 other links being used as a VpC link.
1) Is it best to configure a separate Vpc VLAN i.e 1010
2) Is it best to configure a vrf context keep-alive
3) just have the management address as the peer ip's.
I got one SF 300-48 layer 3 switch I tried to configure to use it in the office network.Unfortunately I'm unable to configure the VLAN settings.I need port one for input(VLAN2),port 7-15 for another vlan(vlan3) also need to connect with the vlan 4.port 15 is another vlan(vlan4) this is for wireless.Other ports are static.It doesn't get any connections with other vlans.I wish to know how to configure vlans in GUI mode.I tried , But I can't get the Vlan setting correctly.Also,I need to know how to communicate both vlans in GUI mode.
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.
it says that the cisco sg300-28 managed switch default system mode is Layer 2. but i want to change it to layer 3.
i can't get inside the "Console Interface Main Menu" where the switching from L2 to L3 will be done.
I have done the ff:
1. Upgraded firmware to 1.1.2.0 (latest)
2. Reset the switch to factory defaults.
3. The guide stated that in order to perform telnet to the switch, you need to enable it. So I logged in first in to the web GUI and enable telnet service.
4. I can now start telnet on the switch but I can't see the "Switch main menu".
All I can see are these lines from telnet:
User Name:cisco
Password:******
switchd5928c#
I just want to know how to get into the console interface main menu where these lines should appear so that i can change the system mode:
• System Configuration Menu
• Port Status
• Port Configuration
• System Mode
• Help
• Logout
I have a cisco 878 router and I can’t assign ip address to it’s fast Ethernet interface. When I assign ip address give me this message: “you can not assign ip address to layer 2 interface”.
But I can not understand why give me this alert when I use a layer3 device?!
Is it possible to to build a Layer 3 ether channel from two separate physical switches (layer3) that are trunked together?I know you can easily do this on a single switch and on stacked switches which I've done but in this case the customer have purchased two 3560X's which are not stackable yet want redundancy. The purpose of the etherchannel is to connect both switches to a private circuit provided by the hosted partner then route to the same setup in the DR location to different subnets.

Lately I have been noticing mac flap messages on some of our access layer 3750G switches. Just a little background on how this is setup.
These 3750G switches are stacked and uplinked to a distribution layer 3750E stack (2 switches) via cross stacked etherchannel. (Usually 4 links) The access layer switches are stricly layer 2 where the distribution layer 3750E is routing the VLANs at the access layer to to the core 6500 switches.
I have just about ruled out physical loops on these stacks for the reason that the Macs are flapping. I am seeing this on two different stacks now each having 3 switches in the stack at the access layer. The cross stack etherchannel is spanned across the first two switches at the access layer and connected to both switches at the distribution layer. I have checked the etherchannel status and all ports appear to be part of the etherchannel and they appear fine.
The mac addressses that are flapping are just plain old desktop machines that plug directly into the access layer. I usually see this when the mac is learned on a port such as when a machine is plugged into the network or reboots.
I've created a scenario using a 3750 cisco as core switch ad other 6 switch model 2900 in access level.my problem is this, the router is not a cisco router, and this router is not able to make NAT on more than one subnet.Into the core switch I've created 4 VLAN and I must to give internet access to 3 of them, 192.168.0.0/24 (vlan1), 172.16.0.0/24 (vlan2), 172.17.0.0/24 (vlan3).I've connected the switch to router via gigabit ethernet 0/1 and I've assigned to this interface ip address 192.168.10.2, the router ip address is 192.168.10.1, Switch ip default-gateway is router ip address 192.168.10.1, ip default route is 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.10.1 I've enabled ip routing feature and I've set no switchport feature to interface gigabit ethernet 0/1.From core switch I can ping router ip address but I can't make it from all other user, and the users not able to have internet access.

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.

There is very little and quite diverse Information regarding the if, where and how of a Nexus 5000 or 5500 series Switch and support for IEEE 802.1AE Link Layer Encryption (also called MACsec).
For example: the official FAQ denies that the Nexus 5500-series supports 802.1AE at all, while the data sheet says that only "downlink ports" are supported (host access).
On the Nexus 7000 platform the 802.1AE link layer encryption is part of TrustSec (feature cts) and much better documented.
The Question is: If and under which circumstances (configuration, L3 modules, license, NX/OS version) does a Nexus 5k or 5500 series Switch support 802.1AE on 1G or 10G interfaces that are directly connected to a Nexus 7000 (with the necessary cts feature licensed/configured)?
