We have a scenario where we want to connect 14 access layer 2950 switches to Core switch 3750 via optical fiber in a LAN.What model of 3750 Switch should we use to tackle this situation.I have learnt that WS-C3750X-24P should support it.Isnt it?
Can we use optical fiber SFP module to connect 2950 switches to core switch?Does Cisco 2950 Switch support optical fiber sfp module?
I have three switches:
primary - Cisco Catalyst 3750G-24TS-24
and two SG300-28
I need to apply uplinks as follows:
3750G-24TS-24 SFP (1) -> SG300-28 (first) mini-GBIC (1)3750G-24TS-24 SFP (2) -> SG300-28 (second) mini-GBIC (1)SG300-28 (first) mini-GBIC (2) -> SG300-28 (second) mini-GBIC (2)
I would like to know, What type of mini-GBIC and SFP and cable I should use for SX Multimode?What max speed rate I will get?
I'm looking for switches that support single mode fiber connections and would like to know if "WS-C3750-FS-S Catalyst 3750 24 100BaseFX + 2 SFP" and "WS-C3750G-12S-S Catalyst 3750 12 SFP" can serve the purpose?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI was checking some things on my Cisco 4500 and spot checking some of the ports. Using CNA it says it is at 10. The web browser to the switch says Full-duplex, 1000Mb/s, link type is auto, media type is 10/100/1000-TX on port 6i/18 The CNA says, so what would cause the difference?

View 6 Replies View RelatedWe 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.
We've just purchased a WS-C3750-24FS-S, only to find that the 100baseFX ports will not work over Single Mode fibre, backhaul links. Any way or a device that convert from MM to SM?

View 4 Replies View Relatedthe incoming fiber on ports 9 and 10 are on different subnets. I need to map the subnet on port 9 to ethernet ports 1-9 and port 10 is on its own. I have the device IPv4 address set to a static address on the same subnet as port 9. I don't know if there's an easier approach, but I attempted to map the ports using vlans (See the attached screenshots). We don't yet have the fiber link established for port 10, so I haven't had a chance to test, but I wanted to confirm that my configuration is sound. I used the default vlan for ports 1-9, because I need to manage through that subnet. I added vlan 10 for port 10, but I don't know if I have it configured correctly.

When connected together they do not enable. Are there compatibility restrictions or is it that the Mini-GBIC modules cannot be used to uplink to a LAN?
View 2 Replies View RelatedCompany I work for just moved into a new location. We have two data closets which are patched as independent entities, with no Ethernet tie connection. These closets are roughly 100 feet apart.
There is a fiber connection that runs between both closets, that the previous tenant used to connect the switches. I have placed a Cisco 2960 switch in each location, and added one mini SFP gbic's to each switch. After attaching both sides, neither light up. I do a sh inter gig1/0/49 on each and shows 'down down' (not admin down).
What is the trick on getting these to communciate, do I need to configure these ports, and are they supposed to light up?
What I am trying to accomplish is to get the one closet that is completely cut off, communicating by logically stacking, or 'daisy chaining' via fiber.
I turned off the lights and popped the fiber out, and I do see a faint red light (I did not look straight into it), so I think the fiber is active.
I have issue with connectivity 3750G with Dlink Switch, it cannot connect to non-cisco switch with fiber , But CISCO to CISCO switch it shows connectivity. My question is that is there any configuration on Cisco 3750G switch to connect with non-cisco switch through fiber (SFP) ?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to connect 4 Floor Building with 4 Cisco 2960 - 48 ports switch each other and it needs to be through a fiber. So all PCs connected to each switch would reach the LAN/WAN from the other switch. (attached is the image here with)
I see that the 2960 has 2 SFP ports each port of each switch should connect each other or how?
My simple question is:
1. What cable / patch code I have to use = Single-mode or Multimode? ( distance for each switch will not more then 25 mts)
2. Do I have to use SFP or SFP+ module?
3. What kind of SFP/SFP+ module I have to use = Single-mode or Multimode?
4. What kind of connector should patch code have = LC / SC or ?

The current situation that all existing Fiber Patch Cords cables & fiber cables coming from field are multimode. So, I think we have a compatibility issues. We need clarifications from your, what are the options that we can do to resolve this issue.Can we connect the above switches to multimode Fiber Patch Cords cables?
find out which types of fiber optic that i can connect to three types of switches. the setup that i have that there are:8 access switches (WS-C2960S-24TS-S), in each one there is two SFP connections.2 aggregate switches WS-C3750X-24T-S, in each one there is four SFP connections.and one core switches that has SFP card WS-X4624-SFP-E? Note that the fiber optic that we have coming from filed are multimode.

I'm not able to set the mtu on an SVI or routed gigabit port on either model. they are running 12.2(55)SE4.
It comes back as "% ip mtu is not supported on this interface".
Also, is there any reason why when the "ip tcp adjust-mss", (set to lower than default) is applied to the egress SVI on a 3750 or 3560x, the mms value of the SYN packet is not adjusted when captured at the receiving end? It seems as if the setting does nothing.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have two switches, WS-3750-24PS-S connected in two cabs via fiber. Patch panels at both ends with patch leads. Used tester to confirm end to end fiber connectivity. When plugged in, one switch lights up the other does nothing.
Ports are as follows:
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/2
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode trunk
same at both ends. Tried both GI ports same result. swapped transceivers over and the same result, (one switch lit one not - the same switch in both cases). put both transceiver in each switch, (gi0/1-0/2 in a single switch). on the one that lights up in the original scenario we get link on both ports and they come up, on the other nothing happens. shut down both ports on the malfunctioning switch and no shut them, no change.
Show transceivers doesn't show transceivers on the malfunctioning switch, and no attempt is made to bring the ports up if the fiber is removed and replaced.
it is almost as though the two gb ports are kaput. Anything else I can try?
If I have two stackable switches one switch uplinks to one 6509 core switch and the other connection uplinks to another 6509 core switch, and also the other stackable switch does not connect to the core switches. Because I am using hsrp and also we are not using vss then one uplink to the core is not in used only ones is so then how does creating an etherchannel between does two uplinks to both core switches benefit me in anyway such as more bandwith and using both uplinks at the same time or I'm I wrong?
View 7 Replies View RelatedIf I have two stackable switches were only one stackable switch has two uplinks one uplink goes to one core 6509 switch and the other uplink goes to the other 6509 core switch can a Layer 3 etherchannel be used if each uplink go to a different core switch, by the way hsrp is running between both switches and also can you give an example how data will be routed from the stackable switch through the ethernetchannel to one of the core switch accross the WAN to another core switch?

View 3 Replies View RelatedWe recently switched two of our branches to point-to-point fiber connections to our corporate office. Previously they were using MPLS connections. For branch A, the ethernet handoff of the fiber is connected directly to a Catalyst 3750 gigabit port. That port has no configuration on it. The other end of that fiber is connected to a gigabit port on the 3750 switch at our corporate office. That port is configured with an IP address that is within the subnet of branch A, and is operating at layer 3 due to the no switchport command.
Branch B currently has a Cisco Express 500 ethernet port (with no configuration on it) connected to the fiber hand off there. At first we setup a port on the 3750 at our corporate office that is connected to Branch B via the fiber in the same manner. This resulted in us receiving DCHP leases at Branch B from Branch A. Obviously not desired. Now we have the port on the corporate 3750 that is connected to Branch B's fiber configured with switchport vlan 64. I also configured interface vlan 64 on that switch at corporate with an IP address from the branch B subnet. We then set that IP address as the default IP address for devices at Branch B.
We are having trouble with both an ATM and a phone system not communicating properly at Branch B. At Branch A we are experiencing the same oddity with the phone system, but the ATM is able to communicate fully. At branch B, when configuring a Windows Vista or Windows 7 laptop with a static IP address that is known to be available, you get transit failures when trying to ping. Essentially everything seems to be able to route fine, but some traffic even after a full tcp hand shake seems to not transmit properly.
When you configure a point-to-point fiber connection from a layer 2 switch at a location without a router to a location with a Cisco Catalyst 3750 switch as the endpoint, what is the best way to configure both sides?
Currently we only have vlan 64 configured on the port mentioned on our switch at corporate, and then the switch at Branch B is essentially operating as an unmanaged switch at the moment with all ports in vlan 1.
Is there a command to find your optical tx/rx power (dBm) on a 3845? On a 3750 you can do a show int transceiver; looking for a comparable command for ISRs.

Some are desirable on one switch and forced truck on the other switch.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am using a 3750 as a default gateway for multiple Vlans on a few 2960 switches. The trunk lines are configured and working and I have assigned ip addresses to each of the Vlan interfaces on the 3750. My issue is that I can only ping the ip address on the Vlan interface of the 3750 if I have a working computer plugged directly into the Vlan on the 3750. I only have 3 vlans on the 3750 that have hosts directly connected (vlans 2, 10 and 40) the other vlans ( 20 and 70) don't have any clients plugged into them on the 3750 but the hosts reside on 2 different 2960s that connect via trunk ports. How do I keep the vlan interface on the 3750 switch pingable when I don't have hosts directly connected in that vlan on the 3750? (yes, I have enabled ip routing on the 3750)
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a simple design with 3750. I configured a route-map which define a next hop.
