Cisco Switching/Routing :: 3750 / How To Identify Broadcast Traffic Source

Feb 23, 2012

We have 2 switches split across 2 datacentres connected via an interconnect.  Over the past couple of days the interconnect provider's Cisco kit has shut down our port (err-disabled) due to a broadcast storm.  They had the level set at 1 which I thought was a bit low.  They say they tried to set to 2, then 5 but still kept tripping the storm-control feature so they set at 10.  They say they've always had it set at 1% (on a 100Mb switch) and so we must be generating more broadcast traffic.
 
I'm trying to identify where the broadcast traffic is coming from.  On our Cisco 3750 I've clear interface counters and when I do a sh run | i broadcasts there are a few ports which have what seems like a high broadcast count.  The one port that is especially high and the only one tripping the storm-control feature (I've enabled on all our ports to try to identify where the traffic is coming from) is the port connected to the 100Mb interconnect.  I've mirrored that port to another port and connected a server with wireshark so I can capture all the traffic across that port. 
 
What I'm struggling to find is the source of the broadcast traffic.I have a few questions are these broadcasts layer 3 or layer 2 broadcasts.  Also in the output below when it says broadcasts received is this inbound to the port i.e. from the connected device or is this a total of inbound and outbound broadcasts.
 
When I use wireshark and filter the capture on broadcasts (ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff) I see only 200-300 compared to the thousands the switch is reporting.If I filter on the broadcast IP address I also don't see the numbers corresponding to what I see in the show interface output.
 
GigabitEthernet1/0/1 is up, line protocol is up (connected)
  Hardware is Gigabit Ethernet, address is 0014.a93f.7401 (bia 0014.a93f.7401)
  Description: Interconnect
  MTU 1500 bytes, BW 100000 Kbit, DLY 100 usec,
     reliability 255/255, txload 4/255, rxload 44/255
  Encapsulation ARPA, loopback not set

[code].....
 
also I'm currently doing : monitor session 1 source int g1/0/1 both, and also tried just rx incase I just need to be looking at receive traffic but still nothing is standing out.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: 3750 - Tagging Traffic By IP Source And Destination?

Dec 2, 2012

I want to know if there is way to tag traffic with DCSP tags without having to do all the other requirments of QOS setup.  All i want to do is just tag traffic at different DCSP values via source and destination IPs.  We do not have a need to be priortizing traffic on out internal switches.  We just want to tag the traffic so our MPLS provider can distinguish the different types of traffic.
 
Our environments is primarily 3750s in all offices.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Unicast Flood On 3750 - How To Determine Source MAC Address

Feb 27, 2013

There is a unicast flood on 3750 killing slow modem links. How to determine source MAC address of flooder? Is there a rate limit feature for it?
 
I know how to block it completely on port-level, but it breaks normal network operation. (when port goes down for some reason, it's learned MACs got flushed and since other hosts know MACs, they keep flooding untill their arp caches expire).

Cisco Switching/Routing :: 2960G / 3650G - Non-broadcast Traffic Appearing Across VLAN

Jul 5, 2012

We run a network of several 2960G and 3650G switches in a network with a number of VLANs. One one particular VLAN (let's call it VLAN 10) it appears that non-broadcast traffic (i.e. normal unicast traffic) is being copied to every port in VLAN 10 only on one switch . The traffic is not crossing trunk ports and does not appear on other switches that have ports in VLAN 10. We first spotted this by noticing that a UPS port had an unusual amount of activity on our port througput graphs:
 
This traffic at 4 am is not expected and this profile is repeated across all ports in VLAN 10 on this switch (a  WS-C2960S-48TD-L stack running IOS 15.0(1)SE3)\iffed one port using local SPAN (the UPS port) and discovered that this traffic was not broadcast, which was running at a normal low rate at all times. The traffic appeared to be unicast traffic from other ports of the sort you might see on a hub. It was from various hosts that live on VLAN 10, most (not all) of the conversations had one end station homed on the 'problem' switch. There are about 800 non-broadcast packets per hour and this is a busy VLAN so it does not account for all the traffic on the VLAN.

Cisco WAN :: 3750G / How To Identify Source Of Runts

Aug 27, 2012

I am getting input errors/runts on 2 of my gigabit interfaces that connect to our WAN service provider's network. In relation to total packets, its not a large number, so its probably not a big deal, but I'd just like to find the source so I stop seeing the errors in Solarwinds. Our service provider says that they don't see any errors on their side, but the errors are incoming to us.
 
I've tried to capture the traffic with Wireshark, but discovered that often these packets are either discarded or padded by NICs so Wireshark will not see them, or at least will not see them as undersized.
 
Is there any other way I can capture these packets so I can find the source and figure out how to stop them? Our equipment is 3750G running 12.2(55)SE. Its not a trunk port. I know there was a bug in prior IOS that would cause some frames to be marked as runts even though they were forwarded successfully.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: VTP Traffic Not Seen On SPAN Port On 3750

Dec 12, 2011

Been dealing with a strange problem for several days now.  It started out with a problem that I thought was VTP related but ended up being something else.  I setup a span port on a 3750 that I am connected to that was mirroring the trunk connection coming into the switch.
 
Never saw an VTP traffic come across the connection but doing a sh vtp status indicated the traffic was arriving and getting processed.  When I found some debug commands (debug sw-lan vtp), I was also able to see the packets go between switches.  Seeing this issue concerns me that there is other traffic that isnt showing up during a span session.
 
I know that doing a span on a switch, especially using a trunk port as a source, isnt a good idea.  Since I didnt have a TAP at time, this was my only choice.  I have since borrowed a NetOptics TP-CU3 tap from a good friend and was able to confirm the VTP traffic was going across the trunk connection between switches.
 
All of my 3750's are running 12.2.55.SE.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: 3750 - Only Allow Specific Traffic To VLAN

Oct 10, 2012

Have a quick question regarding inter-vlan routing on a 3750.  Overview of network is ISP --> ASA --> 3750 (acting as my core and default gw).  I have 5 vlan interfaces on my 3750, all w/ 192.192.x.x subnets, a 6th w/ 192.168.100.x, and a 7th w/ 192.168.200.x.  I have enabled "ip routing" on the switch and can successfully ping from subnet A to subnet B as long as both devices are using the correct DG for their vlan, which is the switch.  I have a few ports that are trunked as well that go to ESX hosts which break out the vlans according to the subnet the vm should be attached to.  The ASA is set to nat internal traffic for all the vlans.
 
Now my question:  short of applying an ACL to each vlan interface to block traffic from other 192.192.x.x subnets is there a better way to accomplish this?  I want my 192.168.10.x subnet to be able to reach all the subnets, but don't want 192.192.10.x to be able to talk to 192.192.20.x for example.  I was thinking to create an acl like this:
 
access-list 120 permit ip 192.192.10.0 0.0.0.255 access-list 120 deny ip 192.192.0.0 0.0.255.255 192.192.10.0 0.0.0.255access-list 120 permit ip any 192.168.100.0 0.0.0.255 192.192.10.0 0.0.0.255
 
and then applying this to the interface for the appropriate vlan.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Keep Traffic Local Between Two Sub-nets Using 3750-X

Nov 13, 2011

We have a remote office with a Cisco 3750-X switch with the IP-Services feature set connected via dark-fiber to a 6509-E at the corporate office. We plan on migrating the remote office to a new network (new acquisition) to subnet 10.10.10.0 on VLAN 20 which has an existing  subnet of 192.168.100.0 and we would like to run both in parallel using their existing switches (Dell) and the new 3750-X.
 
I’m curious as to the best way to keep the traffic local between the two subnets using the 3750-X and if necessary put the 192.168.100.0 network on a VLAN. I thought about routing between the two networks via IP routing on the 3750-X but the new workstations default gateway is the 6509-E and existing workstations is a SonicWALL within the remote office. The default gateway for the new workstations can be moved from the 6509-E as a last resort.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Traffic Within 3750 Slow / But Fast Outside Of It

Jul 15, 2012

I have 2 new 3750g devices in a small environment.  switch1 acts as our collapsed core and has ip routing enabled, and is connected to a ASA 5510. There are 3 HP l2 switches connected to switch1 as well.   switch2 is simply a server switch.  switch1 and switch2 have a 2port etherchannel between them, and a vlan trunk carrying 4 vlan's.  traffic between any 2 hosts on switch2 (same vlan) are slow. (average 300Mbits/sec)  If I move one of those hosts to switch1, speeds increase by 3 times.  (average 900 Mbits/sec).  Additionally, traffic between any 2 hosts on switch1 are quick. testing is done with iperf as well as timing 1gig file transfers.
 
I don't see any errors or drops anywhere, and there are no other symptoms other than slow transfer beteween hosts on switch2. I just got 2 more of these 3750's to put in a 2nd site that we have, put a quick configuration on them, and have the same result.  Other than switch1 having ip routing enabled, the configs are pretty much identical.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: 3750 Switches Doesn't See Traffic From Other Network

May 21, 2012

we have three separated network segments going to one Cisco 3750 switch all is L2 .. from this switch is 100 mbit uplink.we need to apply some Qos mechanism not to saturate line by traffic from one network.. Configuration from various reason CANNOT be done on switch where 100Mbit line is terminated.. so all must be done on SW1,2,3..Correct me if iam wrond but as switches doesnt see traffic from other network iam affraid only think we can do  is limit bandwidth on links going into SW1,2,3 to 33 Mbit.I found commad srr-queue bandwidth limit.But links going to SWs are 1Gbit so if i force bandwidth to 10% (minimum what command allows) its  100 Mbit..If I force speed on those links to 100Mbit and than apply  srr-queue bandwidth limit to 30% doest it work.??. Will  srr-queue bandwidth limit speed to 30Mbit?? Or srr-queue bandwidth limit is calculated from maxim speed of interface?

Cisco Switching/Routing :: 3750 - How To Isolate Fiber Port Traffic

Jun 18, 2012

We would like to setup a link to our DR site that is separate from our main network traffic.  This link will be used by an EMC VNX SAN for replication traffic.  The SAN will be plugged into a fiber port on a 3750 switch and going out from the same switch (going in as multimode, going out as single mode) into a patch panel that runs over to the DR site (about a mile away).  At the DR site it will go from the fiber panel into another 3750 switch which ends up going back out of that switch into our DR SAN.
 
I'm wondering what the best way would be to configure the fiber ports to accomplish this.  I'm affraid that the replication traffic will find it's way over through another route and congest our main network unless configured appropriately.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Switch 3750 / Policy Inbound Traffic Per IP?

Mar 2, 2012

We are using Cisco 3750 switches in our environment as distribution switches.We currently use to police inbound traffic, but we need to find a solution to limit inbound traffic per IP.Something like this “Inbound traffic for each IP can be maximum 1 Mbps” This can be done having, one ACL and one class-map for each IP, but in my situation is not a practical solution, because we have more than 500 IP’s on that site.
 
Is any way to accomplish this without writing 500 ACLs and 500 class-map?

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Setup VLan To Allow Video Traffic Between 2960 And 3750?

I am trying to setup a network using Cisco 2960 switches with vlans configured.  One vlan will handle video coming from four cameras that are connected to another 2960.
 
We have four cameras feeeding one port each on a 2960, that 2960 in turn feeds one port on the main 2960 which is the video vlan for that site.  From the site it goes back to a Cisco 3750 to be sent over to a Sonicwall firewall. If we connect to the 2960 that the camera are connected to we can see the video, but not on the main site 2960.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: 3750 - Show Interface Vlan (ID) Doesn't Show In / Out Traffic Rate

Its a typical L3 config with one IP on the vllan interface acting as the gateway for the VLAN devices. Is this a normal behaviur ? and if so is there any way to get the traffic in/out stats. The end PC/devices are connected to this switch via an L2 TRUNK and I dont have access to the L2 switch on which the actual devices connect. so cant get the real time stats of those interfaces.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: 891W ISR / Can't Get SSID To Broadcast

May 27, 2012

I'm working with some 891W's that have the internal 800-series AP. I have this router set up initially using Cisco Config Express, then, using Cisco Config Professional 2.5 I set up the firewall and other featuress that CCE doesn't do.  Overall this is a very simple router, meant to be a small business Internet gateway device but is currently in my lab. 
 
The intended WLAN setup is very simple.  One SSID, with broadcast enabled, using WPA2-Personal.  Auth: open  Encryption is both TKIP and AES-CCM. 
 
However no matter what I do I cannot get thhis thing to broadcast . In the past I had sometimes run into issues where if I had more than one AP running independently it would cause a channel conflict and one or both would cancel each other's radio, so I disabled all other AP's in my vicinity. 
 
Also I've had issues in the past where f I enabled both TKIP and AES, sometimes clients can't find the AP as a result.  My solution had been to disable one of them leaving just the other - no change here however. 
 
Via the IOS, ssid config shows mbssid guest-mode which I believce is default. 
 
Interestingly, if I do the following:
 
ap# Config t
ap(config)# dot11 ssid <myssid>
ap(config - ssid)#guest-mode
end
 
I end up with both "guest-mode" and "mbssid guest-mode" in the sh run for the AP, and voila, my AP broadcasts the SSID.  However clients end up joining without any security at all, no prompts for pre-shared key or anything.

Cisco Firewall :: Source-PAT Outside Traffic Through PIX525?

Feb 22, 2013

I have been tasked with building a vpn tunnel with a partner company between our company's PIX firewall and the other company's ASA's firewall.  The traffic flow will be Partner A company users will be accessing my company's Citrix server.  I want to source-pat the partner company user traffic to my company's PIX inside interface as it enters my LAN to access my company's Citrix server.  The partner company will be PAT'ing their user traffic to a single ip address - let's say for discussion purpose it is 68.108.244.25.  So there will be site-to-site vpn configuration and nat configuration required to be performed to enable this traffic flow according to the above requirements.  I am comfortable with the site-to-site vpn configuration tunnel so I don't think it is necessary to post this portion of the configuration to be reviewed by this form.  What I do need is NAT portion of the configuration.
 
{My Company's Citrix Server} ---------<inside ifc>-[PIX525]-<outside ifc>--------(internet)------{Partner Company A host PC's}          
   10.100.12.103                                                                                          68.108.244.25
 
My proposed configuration to enable nat'ing (or pat'ing) Partner A user traffic to my PIX firewall's inside interface is the following:
 
global (inside) 9 interface
nat (outside) 9 access-list PartnerA_source_nat
 
access-list extended PartnerA_source_nat permit host 68.108.244.25 host 10.100.12.103

How A Device Knows To Slow Down Broadcast Of Traffic

Feb 4, 2012

how a device (PC or router, in this example) knows to slow down broadcast of traffic.Say my cable modem from my ISP is coded to only allow 50mbps.My internal network supports the normal 100mbps.How does my router know to not send my cable modem more than 50mbps of data (because anything above, I assume after the cable modems RAM fills, will be dropped).I know TCP/IP has "Autonegotiation" which determines link type, but it's only based around if t's 1000/100/10 ethernet. No custom speed variable, such as 50mbps in this case.Say I put my network uploading data maximum stress to my internet connection, at 100mbps. Will my cable modem ever send some special packet telling me router that's too much or something?I suppose if I knew this, I could also understand how when I upload a file to another computer on my network, it does it at the full 100mbps, but over the internet, limited to my upload speed; but how does my computer or router know to slow down because my ISP doesn't allow 100mbps up? It has to be able to detect link speed somehow, otherwise just constantly sending 100mbps up will result in tons of lost data at my router/cable modem, and give the computer a frequently false sense of upload speed.
