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.
View 1 RepliesI 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.
We want to get L2 traffic amount (bit/byte) passing through a cisco switch (6500/3560 ...) for a specific VLAN. it can be via SNMP or CLI ...How can we do that?
note: there is no L3 interface on swtiches.
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.
The Switch-A and Switch-B are 3560 series
Zero downtime 3750 stack upgrade?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have to migrate two Cat6K series switches in a Data center to the new Cisco 6509 Series switches with no downtime. i know there are few threads on the same topic but none of them discuss about the downtime.The two Old Cat6K series switches are working in HSRP redundant mode. All access/Dist switches are dual homed to these two switches in downlink direction. In the uplink direction a router is dual homed to both Switches. Now my requirement is to completely migrate the configuration from the old switches to the new one in VSS mode without any downtime. Already VTP server is running on of the old switches so VLAN migration is not an issue. I will update the network diagram in few hours .As per now i am going to follow these steps:
1. Remove active links from switch 1 and shut it down
2. Monitor network and traffic impact on switch 2
3. Install the new 6509 switch along with switch 2 (VSS config already done in Staging)
4. Config HSRP and make it standby
5. Connect all removed links back to new switch
6. Remove old switch 2 and monitor network
7. Connect new switch with VSS config
8. Connect the two new switches together in VSS and move virtual IP to SVI.
During last step i think i will face some minor packet drops.
Is it possible to upgrade a c3750-stack one member at a time to avoid downtime? I need to keep L3-functionality up.
If I have one etherchannel from access-switch (2 channel-ports in 3750, in different stack-members), my 3750-stack as a distribution layer switch, and another etherchannel (also spread over multiple stack members) to core, can I upgrade the entire stack without traffic interruption?
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?

I have seen conflicting information regarding downtime for this upgrade process and still have questions after reading URL. In this scenario, we have a VSS with one SUP in each chassis.
Are the chassis or modules rebooted one at a time? For instance, if I issue an "issu loadversion", will this just load the code on the SUP in the standby chassis, or will it load the code on the modules as well? If it does load the code on the modules, then I will have to wait the longest time from the "show issue outage slot all" before issuing a "issu runversion", correct?
Also, what outage times have people seeen on modules that support pre-loading? I have not been able to find any documented information on this other than it is faster, and the link referenced above still shows a 5 minutes outage for a warm reset on one of the modules.
We have several DMVPN-connected sites that are connected to our 2821 ISR pair.They're all configured as eigrp stub connected summary. Yesterday, a few of the sites went inaccessible, but the VPN tunnels were still up and running. Upon further investigation, we noticed that the remote sites stopped receiving routing updates from our 2821's. As a quick fix, we added static routes to bring the sites back up.Later that night, we removed the static routes and cleared the eigrp neighbors, hoping it would fix the problem. When it didn't, we cleared them two more times.Suddenly, the router lost all downstream adjacencies. While we were adding statics to at least bring the sites back up, all of the adjacencies came back.

View 7 Replies View RelatedWe 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.?
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.
Target notebook ---- Catalyst 3560 V2 switch === Core Catalyst 3750 switch (stack) === Catalyst 3560G switch --- My notebook
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?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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?

View 2 Replies View RelatedWe 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?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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?
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 am trying to find a way using CLI that I can identify the amperage being used by a 6509 chassis. I have looked through all of the sh power and sh env commands and seem to only find the power being used on the DC side (since the output referemces 42V). Ddint know if there was something I was overlooking. To each things from the AC side will take getting an electrician in which is what I was hoping not to have to do.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an 1841 and started to run into an issue which can be resolved but looking to see what you guys prefer to do in this situation. We allow users to connect the laptop via ethernet and wireless to our network at the same time as well as an iPad or any other wireless technology. With that said, for the most part each user has two IP's at any given point. The issue comes in is that I have a large amount of IP exclusions for servers, printers, switches, etc on the exclude list. I am starting to see that the 255 address are not enough to make a long story short. I am also using the 1841 to handle another range for the voice network, which has no isues. What is the best way to fix this issue? Can I run a virtual VLAN off that 1841 for everyone to use and then have the servers, switches, printers, etc on another one? I want to assume no, as both interfaces are used on the back of the 1841 for the two VLANS running now. Or is the only way to handle this with this device to say that as a policy you can only connect assigned company hardware to the network?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been fighting what seems to be an increased number of outqueue drops on our core stack and edge switches for the last 3 or 4 weeks.(The core consists of a stack of 5 3750s in 32-gig stack mode. The wkgrp switches are 3560s. all are at 12.2.52) The wkgrp switches are directly connected to users. We use Nortel IP phones with the phone inline with the user PC. auto-neg to 100/full. [code] However I have tried turning off QOS on a couple of workgroup switches (no mls qos, but left individual port configurations the same) but am still seeing drops.Since I have disabled qos on the switches in question (no mls qos) (not the core tho) I am presuming these commands have no affect on the switch operation and therefore cannot be related to the problem. With QOS turned off one would presume that it is general congestion - especially at the user edge where busy PC issues might contribute. So I wanted to see if I could see any instances of packets in the output queues building up.
I wrote some scripts and macros that essentially did a snapshot of 'show int' every 20 seconds or so, and looked for instances of 'Queue: x/' where x was greater than zero.What I found after several days of watching the core stack, and a few of the workgroup switches that are most often displaying the behavior, was that I NEVER saw ANY packets in output queues. I often saw packets in Input queues for VLAN1, once in a great while I would see packets on input queues for fa or Gi interfaces, but NEVER on output queues. [ code] Additionally, when I look (via snmp) at interface utilization on interfaces showing queue drops (both core and wkgroup), they are occurring at ridiculously low utilization levels (as low as 4 to 8%). I've tried to look for microbursts between the core and a wkgroup switch where the core interface was experiencing drops, but haven't seen any (using observer suite). [code] While the queue-drop counts aren't critically high at this point, they are happening more frequently than in the past and I would like to understand what is going on... In most cases, no error counters are incrementing for these interfaces. Is there some mechanism besides congestion that could cause output queue drops?
We are receiving a large amount of output drops on 4 interfaces that connect to microwave wireless.This is playing up with our Management system. Saw a bug report but that was for 3750, not the IOS version but was a similar issue. [code] The output errors tend to happen at the same time. All ports are trunks however there are other trunks on the switch that are not having these issues. [code]
