is it possible, to use a Catalyst Switch (in my case a 3560E) as a source for a console session to another Catalyst? In principle to use it as a console terminal server.
View 1 RepliesI want to configure my switch via console cable, the switch boots up normally, and there are no configurations present on the switch. However, anything I type does not appear on the terminal client. I used several terminal clients (TeraTerm, PuTTY, HyperTerminal), all latest versions as well as different PCs. I even forced the switch to rommon mode, still, anything I type does not appear on the terminal client.
Here's the output of TeraTerm:
Boot Sector Filesystem (bs) installed, fsid: 2
Base ethernet MAC Address: e8:40:40:06:f0:80
Xmodem file system is available.
The password-recovery mechanism is enabled.

After the last line, I can not type any command at all. I encountered this on three 2960 switches that we have here in our laboratory.
I planed to configure a new catalyst 2960 switch with console cable.
During the boot, all seems ok. but from my terminal client, I can't have access to configuration mode.Keyboard or Terminal client is not sending commands to the switch.
The terminal is blocked on this line Compiled Tue 28-Sep-10 13:44 by prod_rel_team.what can I do to get access to the switch? [code]
I have a set-up with multiple C2960 and C3750 switches. All these devices are being managed remotely. So basically I login to C2901, which is used as a Terminal Server, and reverse SSH to the console of each device. That's - I have assigned an IP to each port of the terminal server so that I can SSH directly to the desired device through via the mapped IP.
Now, recently I had to restart couple of switches - one C2960 and C3750. I initiated the reboot via console connection remotely. I could see the device logs for some time and then the logs stopped and there was no reaction from the console irrespective of any command I tried to enter.
I tried resetting the line on the terminal server, but that didn't work.
Now when I try to SSH the IP mapped to console of that particular device - i dont get any login prompt and there is no effect on device after giving any command. Although i can see the logs on the console session - but cant do anything.
I have a second way of connecting the device via inband- management, and checked the device config found it correct. It is same as other devices which are working correctly.
Both C3750 and C2960 are behaving exactly same - can see logs on console but see effect of even pressing enter - not getting login prompt as well.
So I have read about proper procedure involving the connection between a console cable and Hyper-terminal. I have also tried plugging into a network port to obtain an IP Address but nothing seems to work. When powering on the switch I see that it lights up, hear fans spin and assume it has booted properly. I'm using Hyperterminal on Windows Xp Pro SP3 and I've also tried minicom in Fedora.
And just FYI Hyperterminal was set to the proper:
Bits per second: 38400
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop Bits: 1
Flow Control: None
I need to know the key functional differences between the Catalyst switches 3560E, 3560X and 3560G.

I've got brand new 3945's with onboard 16-port 3560e switches. On the first power up I see that there are several new vlans added that appear to be default vlans..
vlan 2 name fst2
vlan 3 name fst3
vlan 4 name fst4
vlan 5 name fst5
vlan 6 name fst6
vlan 20 name VLAN0020
vlan 21 name VLAN0021
vlan 22 name VLAN0022
vlan 23 name VLAN0023
vlan 99 name VLAN0099
I deleted the vlan.dat and reloaded the switch but these vlans come back. What these vlans are intended for and is there a better way to get rid of them? What does "fst" stand for?
I implemented the 3560E switch, this one have two Giga bit ethernet/10-Gigabit Ethernet module slots. I used the Twin Gig Converter Modules and one SFP. All configuration was applied in the Ten Giga bit, however the interface giga bit ethernet is UP UP state and the Ten giga down down.

View 10 Replies View RelatedI recently upgraded a remote site of mine to IOS 15-2.SE ipbasek9 on 3 3560E series switches. On switch number 2 I have 5 VG224's running (vg224-i6k9s- m) 12.4(22)T3. After the switches reloaded the VG224's dropped their connection. After doing all basic troubleshooting I reloaded the 12.2 (58)SE2 ipbasek9 image back on to the 3560E's and the VG224's reconnected immediately after reload and all phones registered.
Is the problem a licensing issue with the 15.x IOS on the 3560's or do I need to upgrade the VG224's to IOS 15.x as well for them to connect and operate via the 3560e switch running 15-2?
We have a 24 port and 48 port 3560 E switches with identical IOS the 48 port switch supports private vlan while 24 port switch doesnt
configure private vlans on 24 ports 3560e and is it best practise to configure private vlan on this platform(3560)?

I'm trying to get ERSPAN working with an ERSPAN source on a Nexus 5548 and the ERSPAN destination on a Catalyst 6500.
The configuration on the Nexus is as follows:
[...]
interface loopback0
ip address 192.168.2.133/32
[Code].....
If I do a netdr capture I can see ERSPAN traffic sourced from the Nexus reaching the C6500, but there doesn't appear to be anything sent out the ERSPAN destination inerface (Gi4/6) and there's nothing being received by the probe connected to that interface. I know the traffic seen with netdr is definitely the ERSPAN traffic sourced from the Nexus as I've changed the TTL and DSCP values within the monitor session on the Nexus and can see those changes reflected on the C6500 netdr capture. The attached is a screen grab of the show netdr capture started with debug netdr capture soure-ip-address 192.168.2.133.
When I look at the interface I see it shown as up/down (monitoring), but no output or counters clocking up. If I run a local SPAN session on the C6500 it works fine.
I've tried changing the destination IP address from that assigned to the C6500 Loopback interface to an IP address assigned to a physical interface, but that still doens't work.
The hardware in the C6500 is WS-SUP720-BASE Hw version 3.2 with WS-F6K-PFC3B Hw version 2.4. The IOS version is 12.2(33)SXI6.
I just purchased a used Catalyst 2900 XL switch and have not been succesful in connecting to the console via minicom 2.5 running on Ubuntu 12.04 or 11.10, I don’t even get junk charecters in the terminal or echo on input. The switch passes POST according to the LEDs on the front and the network ports are fucntional for switching purpouses.
I’m using a Prolific PL2303 USB-Serial adapter, which works with minicom to console into another device. I’ve tried every baud rate available and tried combonations of hardware flow control, software flow control, and niether.I’ve tested the pinout of the console cable and all pins map correctly according to Cisco spec.I’ve also tried Cutecom, putty, and screen. I have not tried HyperTerminal because I do not use windows.Is it possible that the previous owner disabled console access? Do I need to reboot the switch each time I test a different baud rate?
I have a switch(6500) with 2 vlans(2 SUBNETS) and from the other side of my network i have 2 terminal servers.
I want to have a VIP in my 6500 switch which i have the 2 vlans and when the first vlan(network) try to connect to the VIP
my switch will forward to first terminal.When the second vlan try to connect to VIP the switch will forward to second terminal.
I'd like the switch to decide in wich terminal server will forwared the packet based on source network.
I am not sure how i can do this???I use VIP with SLB???I use NAT???PBR?
I am facing switch reboot issue when power of switch restore from RPS to AC.
View 1 Replies View Relatedi have a stack of 3750x, with minimal configuration. there are two vlans, and two vlan interfaces with IP addresses. when i ping out from this switch to another host, it picks vlan1's ip address as the source automatically. i tested this by doing two pings with extended options using each vlan's interface as the source, and got different results. how the switch decided to use the first vlan's ip address as a source.

I can't connect to the console of switch cisco sge2010, I tried several console cables and none worked for me, I followed step by step manuals and nothing.
Also try the web 192.168.1.254 according to the manual but when I connect from the laptop to do ping to the switch doesnt work.
Basically I am trying to use Wireshark to do a packet capture on a Nexus 5010. I want to do a monitor session on on the switch so I can capture from a source port to a destination port on the same switch. I can configure the source port but when I go to configure the destination port I get "ERROR: Eth102/1/4: Configuration not allowed on fex interface". I have tried to reconfigure this port as a switchport but "switchport mode access" command does not take. I don't want to make any changes to any other ports but this one.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have 2 Catalyst 2924 switch in a home lab. Both of them have developed the same problem at the same time (strange). I have tried all that I can think of. I can telnet to them but cannot access via the console port. On a telnet session I execueted a "write erase, reload" on one of them. As I anticipated this threw me out of the telnet session and I presently have no access to that switch.
The console cable is fine, works for all other devices.
I've been assinged a task to connect our branch office with the head office, so that the IP Phones in the branch office can be connected to Cisco Call Manager at head office. To accomplish this they have given a Cisco 877 Adsl router a 10 Port 3-COM POE Switch and 3 Cisco 7911 IP Phones. Currently the there are 7 PC's Connected to 3 COM Switch which indeed is connected to a Internet router(Speedtouch). First I thought of connectiong the IP Phones to the Ethernet Port on Cisco 877 router but had to change my mind as the ports are non POE ports and I do not have adapters for IP phones. So I've decided to connect the Phones to 3 COM Switch and create VLAN's (DATA & VOICE) and pass the DATA traffic through Speed Touch and Voice traffic through the Cisco 877 router, but when I tried accessing the 3-COM Switch via Console I am getting Junk language( See the attachment for reference).
how can I pass through this Junk messeges and access the switch

i'm trying to enable command authorization for ssh as well as console access to a Nexus 7010 box (version 5.0). Following is the config:
aaa group server tacacs+ ACS5-1
server 10.12.19.11
server 10.12.19.12
source-interface loopback0
snmp-server enable traps aaa server-state-change
aaa authentication login default group ACS5-1 local
[code]....
As you can see, the default group configuration ACS5-1 for authenticatoin has applied to both defaults and console. But the command authorization does not appear to be applied to the console. As a result, when i login from the console and get authenticated, the command authorization does not trigger and i can run commands I'm not supposed to. In the configuration, I do not see "aaa authorization console" option unlike we have in IOS.
I have a Catalyst 4006 switch in production and a spare switch of same model. I have to quickly copy the configuration from production switch to spare switch (both L2 and L3 configurations) How do I do that?

My switch has 12 ports where my devices connects directly, they are all on Vlan 1 and they all work perfectly. on Port 12 I have a dlink router that is connected to a cable modem. the dlink router has an Ip address of 192.168.0.20
I created a second vlan (vlan2) and enabled dhcp relay on it. then I assigned port 9 on the switch to (vlan2)my laptop which is connected to port 9 seems to get an ip address fine and able to ping only some devices on my network (vlan1) and is not able to go out to the internet. I think it has to do with the routes. [code]
