-n7k-d1 has two interfaces in a Port-Channel connecting to n7k-a1 & n7k-a2. (PC1)
-n7k-d2 also has two interfaces in a Port-Channel connecting to n7k-a1 & n7k-a2. (PC2)
My problem is that Spanning-Tree is blocking PC2 and all traffic from n7k-d2 is traversing the Peer-Link before reaching the Aggregation layer. Is this the best design for connecting two pairs of n7k's with vPC or if a better design would be to connect all 4 links into the same Port-Channel and vPC?
We are running 4x n5k and started with the vPC feature. So my question is, if i can connect a vpc-pair to another vpc-pair?In the cisco docs i can find examples for connecting a vpc-pair to a single switch, or server (with and without fex)But there is nothing about how to connect 4 n5k via vPC feature.

I only have a single path through this antenna bridge. I have an SG200-08 switch at each end. What I am attempting to do is utlise the switches to take the two subnets at one office, combine them to one for transfer through the antenna bridge, and then resolve them into the two separate networks again at the other end.

We need to span all voice vlan and point it to the VAM server the VAM server connects to a 3750 Stack considering the amount of traffic multiple span session can generate I plan to move the server to the Nexus directly and run a Local Span Session.
1- As we have two Nexus running HSRP and VAM server only connects physically to one NexusA (I can run local span on that nexusA) the Second NexusB is not directly connected to the VAM server I plan to run ERSPAN so if this is the best design and which path will the span traffic take from Nexus B to NexusA will it go through the access layer switches depending on the vlans allowed on the uplinks or will it go through the 20 Gig uplink between the two Nexus allowing all vlans (VPN peer links) ? WE have approximately 10 voice vlans, Do we an example config for ERSPAN session where the source are vlans (As I am for fimilliar with RSPAN) ?
My Data Center has one single core switch where is connected several servers, one port is the link to the router wan and other port is the link to the FW, my boss wants to install 2 nexus in order to replace the single switch. All my network has only one address, for example 192.168.10.0/24 if I connect two nexus 7010 in VPC and Domain, each nexus is going to has 2 modules with 48 port 10/100/1000 rj45 and i wan to connect servers directly to each nexus, with this figure i'm going to have a group of servers connected in two different nexus, Do they can have the same network 192.168.10.0/24 considering that the nexus are in the same vdc and vlan and have only one gateway for both groups? If the answer is positive, which nexus would be the gate way for that address, the primary or secondary? Or i must have a different address for both group of servers, i mean for example 192.168.10.0/24 and 192.168.12.0/24?thus each nexus would be the gateway for that new address?
To have two nexus connected by VPC in a Domain mean that one computer connected to one nexus can share the same address or vlan with other computer connected to the other nexus????
I currently have two Nexus 5548UP switches in my environment running the latest code (n5000-uk9.5.1.3.N1.1a.bin). Both of these switches are connected via a VPC Peer Link (two ports on each switch in an Ether Channel) and a VPC-Keep Alive Link (a dedicated port). Hosts connect to each switch via a VPC for both IPV4 and FCOE.
As of right now, everything works. I currently have a stack of two 3750 switches that each Nexus is connected to. This stack is doing all the Intra-VLAN Layer 3 Routing for the Nexus Switches. However, I plan to get rid of the 3750s, and move the Layer 3 Routing the Nexus 5548's, so the backplane is 10 Gig instead of 1 Gig.. I have the Layer 3 Daughter Card installed in both switches, as well as the LAN_BASE license.
So, at the moment, I am trying to find the best way to accomplish Layer 3 Routing on these two switches. Since the Nexus switches are not stacked, and the FCOE portion of HA is taking care of by the Multipathing agent on each host, I believe am just concerned with providing Intra-VLAN routing in an HA build where if one switch goes down, VLANs still route through the other switch.
Again, since the Nexus switches are not stacked, I am guessing the best way to handle this is with HSRP, but my experience with that has always been with routers that have a switch in the middle. Can I make HSRP work without having a switch between the Nexus switches? Can I track the VPC peer link, or how do I do it? I guess I am looking for a sample config.
Let's pretend I had two VLANs:
VLAN 20:
10.20.20.254 - GW and 10.20.20.0/24
VLAN 40
10.40.40.254 - GW and 10.40.40.0/24
And I wanted the Nexus switches to route these VLANs regardless of which switch was up / down..
Does the Network Module "C3KX-NM-1G" and "C3KX-NM-10G" for Cisco Catalyst Switch 3750X Comes with a transciever like GLC-SX-MM or SFP-10G-SR or do I need to order in seperately.
View 1 Replies View RelatedThere are two Cisco 4900M L3 switches and two Cisco 2960 L2 switches. I need to configure the two L3 switches to operate as a redundant pair, as the servers connecting to them are connecting using bonded interfaces, which can only have one default gateway. So these two L3 switches need to have the same Vlan interface 1, 2 and 3 IP's set onto them.How are the two L3 switches made aware of each other? via a normal trunk? Is there some special configration for configuring a mated/redundant pair of switches? or are they both just configured as though they were the same switch, but linked?

View 4 Replies View Relatedconnecting a 5548 pair to our core 6509s. Just want to be sure we don't introduce any issues into the network.The 6509's are connected and perform all the routing. Essentially, we're moving away from a 3750 stack in the data center and the 5548s are the replacement. We'd want to limit the vlans to the specific server network vlans. Our current setup is a port channel between the 3750 and each of the 2 6509s for redundancy. I'd like to use the same functionality when we connect the 5548's but I'm looking for what the config should look like to ensure no spanning tree loops are introduced and that it is configured optimally.
View 1 Replies View RelatedThe school I work at upgraded to Cisco Catalyst 2960-S switches, all connected to each other via fiber. I am seeing a problem with one such connection. Cisco Network Assistant showed a "4-Warning" regarding the fiber link port: port was disabled because it was fluctuating between up and down too rapidly. Possible hardware problem, resolve and re-enable. (I'm paraphasing the message...it was 'acknowledged', and I can't bring it back up.)
This message was only showing on our "SV-Copy-Rm" switch's port 49. The other end, on "SV-Maint-Rm" port 49 showed a normal green link status.
Using Internet Explorer, I logged onto SV-Copy-Rm switch's Device Manager, and I first tried disabling/re-enabling port 49 on SV-Copy-Rm. It came back up blinking yellow and showing "port has bad link" when I cursor hovered over port 49. This continued for a few minutes, followed by port 49 being disabled again.
The current thing I'm trying is swapping the connection on both ends to a spare pair of fibers. I'm pretty certain I've swapped to the same pair on both ends, however, now neither switch shows an active link. I've disabled/enabled the ports on both ends, but still no link.
Question: How do I re-establish the above link? (The active connection has 'fallen back' to the designated ethernet Cat 5e connection and is currently running with that connection.)
My management has tasked me to give them a high level overview of the different switching we can choose for our new building.

i cant find any difference in these two devices when i am trying to compare throughput.I need upgrade our new POP and there will be around 4900 MAC adresses in VLAN 150 and 130 MAC adresses in vlan 200.Uplink is 1 gig routed internet connection and there is 14 downlinks to separate villages.i found a few differences for eg stack interface on 3750x but i dont need it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a stack of 2 x 3750X switches these are running 12.2(55)SE5. I needed to add some static IP routes and found that the ‘ip routing’ command is not supported. I came across a document that stated “On switches running the LAN base feature, static routing on VLANs is supported only with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(58)SE and later.” So I have upgraded to 12.2(58)SE2, but ‘ip routing’ is still not a valid command.
The release notes state:“On the Cisco Catalyst 3560-X and 3750-X Series, it adds support for 16 static IPv4 routes in the LAN Base image.”
I have read other posts that talk about running the ‘sdm prefer routing’ command which I have done, but I am still unable to add any routes or run the ‘ip routing’ command.
I have an 1811 with several subnets connected to it.I recently installed a 3750x plant and want to bring my interior routing back to it.
All the routing is handled by the 1811 via secondary interfaces on vlan1?
I have 192 ports, and subnets show up on almost all of them. None of the ports are assigned to any specific vlans. Most ports have several subnets on them.
What is the best approach to getting the 3750x to handle the routing?
my company pay a switch 3750 X. WS-C3750X-24T-E. It uses IP services basically but I failed to configure InterVLAN routing. why interVLAN routing doesn't work on my switch?

The only noteworthy things in my conifg is that the ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.83.6 is referring to a switch stack they have on site, that I will connect this stack to using the first two trunk ports on each switch, that I do not have here in the lab.

How to know whether QoS work on the 3750X or not ? Is it correct about the config in scenario A ?
I have a one question. I am using Cat3750x-48 switch. Suddenly it has occurred following high CPU log message in Cat3750x-48 switch.
%SYS-1-CPURISINGTHRESHOLD: Threshold: Total CPU Utilization(Total/Intr): 62%/0%, Top 3 processes(Pid/Util): 162/40%, 156/10%, 74/1%
What is meaning of PID 162 ?
There seems to be a lot of conflicting information on what can and can't stack together in the 3750X range.
I know that LAN Base can only stack with other LAN Base switches.
Can IP Base stack with IP services in 3750X? I have also heard that the 15.x.x IOS restricts mixed feature set stacks?
I know that Cisco recommends that all switches in a stack have the same IOS and feature set but having all IP Services in a stack can get too expensive.
I'm trying to review a QoS setup, and I'd like to make sure I fully understand the current setup before I change anything. I'm seeing output drops on two different queue-thresholds, but not sure how packets are making it to one of the queues.

I can find queue4-threshold3 in the mappings, but how are packets getting mapped to queue2-threshold1? The priority queue is disabled for this interface, so I'm not sure how this queue is dropping packets, according to the maps nothing is mapped to 02-01.
I am building a switch stack using 4 48 port 3750X switches that will also have the power stacked. If I install a single 715W power supply in each switch will the stack support 802.3af accross all 48 ports on each switch? My calculations are 48 ports x 15.4W which gives me almost 740W needed which is over hte 715W power supply. I was reading somewhere were it mentioned that in a powerstack additional power can be drawn from the stack. I know this will not work if you are trying to support power on all switches accross all ports but would it if say 2 of the 4 switches are needing to provide PoE accross all 48 ports? If I say we can only use 24 ports per switch for PoE that drops the power need down to 370W which I believe should work. Just trying to get a better understanding of PoE consumption. Would the best solution be to just add a second power supply to each switch?

A 1002 will be the WAN router to the Main campus. The 1002 will connect to the core via 2 ethernet cables. I'm debating whether to use L3 or L2 between the router and Core. I've heard that routing is more efficient if L3 is used and also I will be able to create an L3 etherchannel between the 1002 and Core switch. See the attached doc.
