Cisco Switching/Routing :: 3560 - Portable Redundant Power System For Catalyst Switches?
May 10, 2012
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.
I have a peculiar issue with a router whering I get the message in the Show Environment as below.

I just recieved a new 3560-x switch with the C3KX-PWR-715WAC. It looks like Cisco is now using a different AC power cable. Not the StackPower connector, but the standard AC power cable. My data center is setup to supply 208v using C13 power cables. The switch uses a C15 power cable, and comes with a standard NEMA 5 to C13 power cable. Does Cisco make, or officially support a C13 to C15 power cable? Can I still use a 208v power supply with these switches? I'm using an APC AP8861 power distribution unit, see [URL]
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 know that the 6500 with a Sup 720 reserves power for a redundant 720. If there is no plan to install that redundant Sup, is there a means of releasing that reserved power? I know that one approach would be to insert a card into that slot to cut the reserve down, but I need to reclaim all of that power.
I was wondering if I am able to add a redundant power supply to an asr 1001 router that is in production without losing connectivity or causing any diruption to the Users - is it hotswappable?
The SuperVisor engine in slot 1 of a Catalyst 6513 needed to be replaced because a hardware defect. The SuperVisor engine in slot 2 is active and running CatOS 8.5. The new SuperVisor engine for slot 1 came with CatOS 6.3 and was not syncronized auromatically after insertion. When the customer enter the command "Show boot" he get the output:
AG-A6513-51> (enable) sh boot BOOT variable = bootflash:cat6000-sup2k8.8-5-5.bin,1;bootflash:cat6000-sup2k8.7-6-2.bin,1;

I would like to know if Catalyst WS-C3750G-48TS-E recognizes and understand Cisco VSS ( Virtual Switching System) . Is there a List available which tells us which Old Catalyst Switches or current switches understand Cisco VSS?
We have a IP-phone system connected to port 1 on a 3560 switch, the phone system tags traffic with dscp. The switch uplink is on port 24. Is this configuration correct:
I have 2 x 3560e-24td-s 2 x ASA5510 2 x 2821(no modules) 2 x 2901
I'm trying to figure out power draw in Amps for my new cabinet. I looked at the data sheet for the 2821 and it says 3A for the 110V under the row AC Input Current, Would that be accurate if I did that for all the models and then just added up the total?
let me know the exact meaning of attach ( yellow marked one)? the contractor was saying "it doesn't mean two switches as there is a built in redundancy in Cisco switch)"I don't think he is correct as I never heard about built in redundancy in Cisco Router/switchAny comment as this will affect the numbers from 55 (3750 v2) to 110....
I'm currently configuring per port policing on a 3560 and want to limit inbound traffic to 750mbit:
mls qos access-list 1 permit any class SET_IF match access-group 1 policy-map SET_QOS class SET_IF

When I test the setup with iperf I always get different results when I change the nummber of parallel connections.Isn't there a way to limit the throughput regardless of the number of conns (INGRESS!) like with srr-queue bandwith limit?
We have observed increase of CPU utilization of 50% after upgrade from 15.0(1)SE3 to 15.0(2).The SDM template is "desktop default" template.The increase of CPU utilization in Switches with LAN Base after upgrade is about 10%.
How to find the cause for the 50% increase ?This is command is the output of 15.0(2). The calculated sum for 5min process-utilization is 21% plus 1% interrupt is 22 %. Where is the rest ?

I have an issue with a 3560 in my network, after sometimes it fails to give out power to some ip phones,while others are not affected and below is the message i get
"Power given, but Power Controller does not report Power Good"
output of sh power inline and sh env all : everything seems to be ok on the switch

It's solved by a reboot of the switch, i could have suspected a power environnment issue but it's the only equipement disturbing in the network.
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?
I have a 2504 WLC connected to a Catalyst 3560 which has multiple vlans and is connected to a 2800 series router. I know the catalyst is L3 but I am needing nat functions to get outside to the internet. From my 2800 series router I am able to ping out to the internet, also I am able to ping the vlan interfaces on the catalyst switch. Problem is from the catalyst switch I can ping the inside and outside address of the 2800 but I cannot get any further then that. I cannot ping the 2800 router gateway. Not sure what I am doing wrong as far as routing.
The 3560 switch is serving as an access and distribution layer switch. End devices are connected to it and it also implements IP routing via SVI and L3 ports.Auto qos voice cisco-phone has been implemented on applicable access layer ports. SRND4 is being used.
Question 1:Why is the auto qos generated policed-dscp map different on these two switches?The Cisco Smart Business Architecture LAN configuration files guide [URL] does not specifically use the 3560 in their examples, they use the 3750 but it's my assumption that the same techniques, configs apply with regard to my specific feature questions. When using a 3750 in the Access layer, the guide shows (page 15) the same auto qos generated policed-dscp map configuration that is on my 2960. The SBA LAN config guide shows that when using a 3750 as a Distribution layer switch (page 26), the policed-dscp map configuration is the same that I see on my 3560.In the configuration guide for the 3750 distro switch, there is no auto qos applied as there are no access ports, so the mls qos commands are manually input. Since my 3560 does have access ports, auto qos generated the mls qos commands, and the results are the same be it following the guide and manually entering (per distro switch guidelines) or using auto qos. This leads to question 2...
Question 2:Why is the mls qos map policed-dscp configuration different depending on use as an access vs. distribution switch?
Question 3: On the 3560, access ports that have "auto qos voice cisco-phone" applied are put into queue-set 2 (output). Queue-set 2 (output) uses default values (not configured). Is this correct and desirable? If so, why? The 2960 has all ports in queue-set 1, regardless of being an access device port or a trunk port connected to the 3560 (as per the SBA LAN config guide EgressQOS macro commands). The 3560 trunk ports are all also configured to use queue-set 1 (output), again as per the SBA LAN config guide EgressQOS marco commands.
I have one specific trouble with Catalyst 3560CG switch and Stardom reserved industrial controller. Controller has 2 processors, one of them after(!) negotiation become main with IP 192.168.1.1, other one stays in reserve with IP 192.168.1.129. If main one shuts down, spare one becomes main with IP 192.168.1.1. This perfectly works with DLINK and MOXA level 2 switches, but fails with Catalyst 3560, because spare one cannot even connect to switch port. I don't know the exact reason of it, but i suspect, that it happens because of before negotiation both controllers have ip 192.168.1.1 (i know, that it is wrong and weird, but so it goes). First of them correctly connects to switch port, which goes up and passes pings. Second processor tries to connect to switch port, which goes several times up and very soon down, then processor lefts his tries to connect to anybody and become idle. The switch seems to some way check IPs of 1-st and 2-nd port packets, and shuts down 2-nd port. I have connected via hyperterminal and tried to disable some level 3 functions and checks of the switch, but this wasn't useful. how exactly(or at least approximately) should i configure a switch to make this bundle work?
I've just installed 2 of these in my workplace on a PLC network.I'm now looking to set one of the ports up as my diagnostic port and would like to be able to mirror any of the other ports to this port.I believe it is called SPAN on Cisco switches.The only reference I can find to it is configuring via Telnet which I haven't got a clue about.On my old Wiedmuller switches it was just a few clicks away.
I have CISCO RPS 600 (PWR-AC-RPS) is it support Catalyst 2960 and 3560 ? and which type of cable require since i have cable 22-18 pin and on my switch require 22-14 pin.
Scenario: Two buildings connected with a private leased fiber line, so it does operate as a LAN. There are several subnets and everyone at both buildings needs to be able to access all subnets. However the physical machines on those subnets are building specific:
The majority of the traffic between the subnets is specific to the buildings as well (i.e. most of the traffic is between 10.1 and 10.3 or 10.2 and 10.4).
Currently I have a Catalyst 3560 at Building 1 operating as the single "core" L3 router (and then a variety of switches connected to that). I have another 3560 at Building 2 that I'd like to turn in to the "master" L3 router for the two subnets primarily used by Building 2. In other words, make it so traffic from 10.1 to 10.3 doesn't have to run to building 1 just to get back to building 2.
I've got a basic knowledge of adding VLANs, VLAN interfaces and a static routes. The part that I'm getting confused on is that the Building 1 core router needs to make its default route to the firewall (and on to the internet) but "know" that traffic on vlans 10 and 30 gets sent across the fiber line to the other router. So I'm assuming this gets done with some combination of vlan definitions, vlan interfaces and static ip routes on each router.
2. there are multiple mobile sets of equipment(servers and catalyst 3560 switch) which i need to connect at different sites. (i cant use repeated subnets)
3. i cant change the ip address/subnets/configuration of the servers and switch, when deploying at different sites. (big problem to me)
i was previously looking at IP unnumbered + OSPF to apply on the mobile sets of equipment. but noticed that IP unnumbered on non pt-to-pt interfaces (which happens to be a 3560) does not work with dynamic protocols. is there any solutions/alternatives which i can achive mobility on equipment?
