Cisco Switching/Routing :: 3750 / Configure Rapid-pvst On Both Blade Switches Or Keep Default Configuration
Nov 14, 2011
3750 switch connects to Blade-switch_1 and Blade-switch_2 Spanning-tree mode is configured as rapid-pvst on 3750 switch, do I need to configure rapid-pvst on both blade-switches or keep the default pvst config.3750 is running VTP domain HQ and transparent mode Both Blade_switches are running VTP domain CLI and transparent mode To configure Etherchannel between 3750 and blade-switch_1 do I need to have all devices in same vtp domain?

We have two L3 3750 switches running HSRP and routing for various Vlans on our corporate network. Rapid PVST is running across our entire WAN. We are introducing a third party solution for remote communications over MPLS. When interconnecting this equipment to our core network, we have experienced less than desirable failover times of 32 seconds and recovery times of 60 seconds. The vendors engineers are telling is that the interoperability between IEEE spanning tree and Rapid PVST is the culprit.
They are suggesting two scenarios - either converting our corporate network to MST (which I prefer not to do but provides us the fastest fail/recovery times) or adjust the timers on our Rapid PVST forwarding timer to 4 seconds. What would the implications be to change these timers on our network, and if I choose to do this, do I only do it at the core (on the two devices that would become root bridge)? I have been doing some reading that says to not mess with the timers, but nowhere do I see reasons why.

Is it possible to configure MST on ASR and have rapid-pvst on 7600? can they interoperate? ASR sees no BPDUs and both are root bridges.

As a part of a major network cleanup/standardization project I have been working on for several weeks, I am now looking at spanning-tree and trying to get my company into line with Cisco Best Practice. I currently have 3 switches in the data center that are spanning-tree root for different vlans. Before I changing vlan priorities in spanning-tree, I feel that I should change from PVST that everything is on now to Rapid-PVST. To minimize the momentary network disruptions from making the change, should I do the edge switches first and do the switches in the data center at the last ?
Related to this process is something that I want to do probably after the PVST to Rapid-PVST change. I am going to manually set the vlan priorities for each vlan on the main core switch. Assuming I set the vlan priority for each vlan on my main core switch (6509) to 4096, should I set the switch I want to be the backup to 8192 for each vlan and then set the edge switches to something like 12288 to keep them from getting up in the spanning-tree hierarchy and for general principle to leave nothing to chance ?

i'm trying to type the command (config)#spanning-tree mode rapid-pvst on my Cisco 2950, but (config)#spanning-tree mode ? only shows me one option - pvst. I've checked the Cisco support page which suggests my version of IOS should support rapid-pvst.

Someone how can i enable to rpvst? You know if is necessary to upgrade IOS, it has

I have two locations DC and Corp connected to each other via Point to Point Circuit. I have forced the two core switches setup as GLBP pair to be primary and secondary for certain VLAN's including VLAN1.I have a switch in our Corporate office 3750 which is where the point to point circuit terminates. VLAN1 SVI is manually shut on that switch. Also the priority on VLAN1 is increased manually like this, "spanning-tree vlan 1 priority 28672".
Now the issue is that the Primarey Root Bridge in the DC is the root bridge for VLAN 1. But this other switch 3750 in our corporate office also is a root bridge for VLAN1. [code]

When I plug in a workstation to 3750 switch - it seems to take about 35 seconds before that workstation (hard coded IP) can ping the switch. You can see the console messages below. I configured RSTP and set this switch to root:
spanning-tree mode rapid-pvst
spanning-tree extend system-id
spanning-tree vlan 22,33,44 priority 8192

I have two switches claiming to be the root bridge for the same vlans. The 3750-X stack was configured to be the root for vlans present and the 2960S was brought online over the weekend to replace another one. This is the command I used to attempt and make the 3750-X stack the root
spanning-tree vlan 1-2,10,50,101,200,900,999 root primary diameter 4
The IOS converted that to this
spanning-tree mode rapid-pvst

My colleague and I have been having a discussion about using rapid spanning tree in the access layer. Most of our infrastructure has been migrated to a routed access layer with 3750s.
The idea was brought up to configure the switches with rapid PVST. On the surface, it seems like a better idea, faster convergence, in the event that spanning tree ends up being used for some reason. My colleague prefers sticking with standard PVST. His argument is that, in the event of a layer 2 loop, some consumer-level switches filter out BPDUs and if the control plane is overwhelmed, the shorter timers of rapid PVST just puts that much more of a burden on the CPU trying to regain control, whereas with standard PVST it will have around 20 seconds before it starts to engage. (It may still be overwhelmed, but the longer timer delays the additional burden.) He says he's seen this problem with rapid PVST and that his opinion is backed up by our Cisco rep. (I haven't spoken to him yet.)
In our model, it should be very rare -- pretty much never -- that we would layer 2 span another switch off of our access stack.
One suggestion I saw is to use BPDU Guard, which is a good suggestion as well.
But we have had experiences with overloading the control plane on a 3750. I believe that concern is valid. If the CPU can't service spanning tree. But I'm interested in hearing about other experiences people have had in terms of rapid spanning tree in the access layer, end users plugging in unauthorized devices and creating loops, and the effects when using rapid spanning tree vs standard spanning tree.

We have 12 Catalyst Blade Switches 3020 for HP running IOS Version 12.2(55)SE. In the configuration of these switches I see the statement shown below.
no spanning-tree vlan 34,45-55,70,600,643,840,843-850
The 12 blade switches are configured as VTP clients and running VTP V2. I did not configure the statement shown above. It appered by itself. And even if I delete it, it will reapper. (The blade switches are interconnected to two 6509s. The two 6509s are the STP root and VTP bridges. I configure Vlans and STP on the 6509s).
why the statement above appers on the blade switches 3020s?
I mean I use other Cisco switches such as 3750s and 3560s and I have never seen the statement above appear by itself.

I gave one of my interfaces a IPv6 address the other day and now all of my servers have IPv6 addresses in that subnet.
I'm reading about "ipv6 nd suppress-ra" and I think that's what I need to disable but that's not a valid command on the 3750.
Is there a way to disable this 'automatic IP giving out' thing that I have going on?

This would probably sound like a stupid question but it took at least 2 hours of my time so far. I have a 3750 switch where a router and a server is connected. From the switch I can ping the router and server with no issue (directely connected). But from the server I am not able to ping the router. The router and the server are in the same subnet. The router is configured as the default router for the server. I am not able to ping the server from the router either. Here's the output of the ip route from the router. The server IP address is 10.1.200.21 and the router IP address is 10.10.200.1
10.0.0.0/8 is variably subnetted, 8 subnets, 3 masks
C 10.1.30.0/24 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/0.30
C 10.1.20.0/24 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/0.20

I have a bit of a mystery on my hands. I had a whole campus of Cisco 3750's cache a new default gateway. Example
Cisco3750#sh ip redirects Default gateway is 10.10.10.1
Host Gateway Last Use Total Uses Interface172.16.0.5 10.10.101.179 0:00 185749 Vlan1172.16.0.76 10.10.101.179 0:01 47254 Vlan1192.168.0.154 10.10.101.179 0:00 183090 Vlan1
My question is what generates a IP Redirect packet or how does the switch know what to change the gateway to? As in my case the changed gateway was a dead IP address. So I am at lose how this happened. I this case the Host IP's are network management servers conducting polling.

I have a 3750 at a branch running EIGRP connected to two routers that both have configured:
access-list 1 deny 0.0.0.0
access-list 1 permit any
access-list 2 permit 0.0.0.0
access-list 2 deny any
router eigrp 1distribute-list 1 out FastEthernet0/0distribute-list 2 in FastEthernet0/0
Due to this recently applied config the switch become unreachable from the outside and cannot ping anything. Everything connected to it works fine. I was able to remote into it from a switch behind it and noticed that the 3750 has no default route in the routing table. I do see a default route in the eigrp topology table. How to make the switch learn a default route maintaining the existing configuration on the routers.

I had setup a lan infrastructure with 5 3750 stack swithes. In these 3 of them are in one stack which is acting as access switch, 2 of them in another stack which is as core switch where all the SVI is configured. Now, when i tried to ping from our edge pc which is connected in access switch to default gaeway, which is configured in core switch, the ICMP is getting delayed . But when try to ping from the same edge pc to another user PC, it is getting less tahn 1 millisecond icmp replies.
why icmp is delaying to default gateway , but working with another edge to edge pcs without any delays?

We have a 6509 series of core switches and 3750 series of L2 switches, There is no default gateway or any static routes to any IP.VLAN 1 is made admin down and another vlan is used for all communication here in this environment
Attached is configuration for reference But still I am able to take telnet or SSH. I want to know how telnet or SSH or tacacs authentication happens without any static or default route.

ios in 3750-x core is 3750e-universalk9-mz.150-2.SE.bin. But, client to client communication is happening without any dealy and icmp is less than 1 ms always.
When try to ping default gateway of client vlan, it is getting delayed (variable icmp delays). Is this an ios bug?

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?

If 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?

In our datacenter we have a 3750 stack with IP base image. I have enabled PBR and reloaded the switch. Show sdm prefer says i am using default template. The reason i want to use PBR is that we have 2 firewalls on the same work and want to be able to have granular control over which gateway out of the network they use but still be able to access all internal resouces accross wan and locally.
Created access list to identify traffic:
access-list 10 permit 10.2.3.59 (test workstation on vlan 3)
Created policy:
route-map TestASA permit 10
match ip address 10
set ip next-hop 10.2.0.3
Assigned policy to the user vlan3:
ip policy route-map TestASA
Results:It changed the default gateway to the above gateway but i could not access any resources on any other vlan, could not access resouces accross wan.
