Cisco Switching/Routing :: 3750x - Plug In Powerstack Cables With Switch Power Applied?
Mar 13, 2013
I have a customer that has a stack of 3750x switches installed in production and now would like to install the powerstack cables. The switches are in production and downtime would like to be avoided. Can you install the powerstack cables with the switches powered up? I would assume you can, but wanted to verify before doing so.
Suppose I have a 3 member stack of 3750x switches. Members a, b and c.I have all 3 members stacked with all 3 *data* stacking cables in a daisy-chain topology. The 50 cm data stacking cable from switch a (on the very top) to switch c (on the very bottom) just barely reached.Of course, that means the 30 cm *power* stacking cable didn't reach between a & c. Right now, the power stacking cable goes from a to b, and then another cable from b to c. Leaving me with a useless extra 30 cm power stacking cable.
My question is, can switch "a" receive power from switch "c" through switch "b"? Is this just a big electrical "bus"? What if the power supply in switch "b" is removed?Just wondering if there is a need for me to get a longer power stacking cable (one of the 150 cm power stacking cables).
I have a 3750x 48port POE switch that I installed a second power supply in. But it doesnt power on. Am I supposed to enable it in the switch somewhere? I've plugged it into a couple different outlets so I know that's not the problem.
we're having an issue with the command "cts dot1x" when applied to an uplink interface. It basically kils the connection with this command is applied. Once you remove it, everything is back to normal, the platform is a cisco 3750x.
After stacking two 3750X switches, with four equal power-supply's, with StackWise and PowerStack , still got the next message every few hours %PLATFORM_ENV-1-FRU_PS_ACCESS: FRU Power Supply is not responding (gn4m-rt1p08-04-2)( note that the message revers to the second switch in the stack ) although the stackwise and powerstack on the switches is oke and are working correctly. !
Config : Stack-power in power-sharing mode/strict With CLI on the switch : All the power supply's and stack-power details, prio look OK.
Only: LMS prime /inventory/cisco-view/configure/power supply status result : some power supply's are marked as disabled.with the command > power supply 2 slot a off/on I manage to get the status back to "normal", but after a few hours some power supply's are again marked as "disabled".
In a stand alone 3750x switch configuration, can the secondary power supply only act as a redundant power supply (active/standby), or can it become a "pool" of power similar to power sharing mode for StackPower (somewhat active/active)? I understand there is no stack involved here but I'm curious if this functionality is possible.
Just received a couple of new 4500e chassis with the 2800ACV power supplies installed. I have not seen the cables they come with standard, the plug ends are considerably thicker than normal, what is the deal, do we need an electrician to come out and rewire or purcahse new powerboards?
Does the color strips on C3750X stack power cables mean anything, I mean the green and yellow ones. On all Cisco pictures the green one seems to be plugged in the upper ports. I asked local Cisco representative, but he seems not to be sure. We tried to try different scenarios, and it looks like it does not matter what cable end we use. We do not have any external power supply, only interconnecting C3750Xs.
when am trying to plug a PC into the switch, it takes power as the switch is POE . but when trying to plug IP Camera Device it does not take any power. although i have cisco 2960 - 24 ports both PC and IP Camera getting power. while troublshooting by #show power inline , i get nothing as well.
i just got a couple of these units delivered but have problem. the power supplies (j8712a) have this plastic insert key between the 3 prongs in the female connection. The cheapest nema 5-15p to iec c15 power cable I found in usA coincidentally is through hp for $23.75usd plus shipping (hp part 8121-0973): [code]
I am confused on how acl's respond on normal cisco switch (eg.6500) when applied on respective vlans. this is my scenario:on a 6506, i have 2 main vlans in question: Vlan 100 ( vendor1 - 172.16.100.0/24 ) & Vlan 200 ( vendor2 - 172.16.200.0/24 ). the requirement is,
- vendor1 should be able to access/ping vendor2 end points
- vendor2 should not be able to access/ping vendor1 end points
Now, if i ping from a host 172.16.100.11 in vlan 100 to another host 172.16.200.21 in vlan 200, will i be able to get a successful response ?
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?
I have two WS-C3750X-48PF-S in stack, but every one has just one power supply. In the package of the switches is included one stack power supply cable.does it make sense to use stack power cable if every switch has just one power supply ??
Is the CAB-C15-CBN - Cabinet Jumper Power Cord, 250 VAC 13A, C14-C15 Connector, supported on the Cisco Catalyst 3750X/3560X. I need to plug the switches into a UPS PDU, that requires a C14 plug.
At a customer i've tried to add a new 3750 switch til a running stack.I used the following proccess:
1. connect stack cables to the new switch
2. bootup new switch.
Normally the new switch will become a member of the stack, but here, the switch says its the stack master. I can see that the stack port from the old switches connecting the new is up.The only way i could make it work was to provisioning the new switch as switch nr x, save, power off and then connect it and boot it up.The IOS i the same on all switches.
I'm trying to get some clarity on power stacking 3750X switches. I have a new stack of 6 switches. I know I can only have 4 in a power stack and all 6 in the data stack with a max of 8. I'm trying to find the proper way to connect the power stack cables for the 4 switch power stack.
Looking at the specs for the 3750 power supply - is the WS-C3750X-48P-S model with the 715W power supply referring to the amount for both power supplies per switch or just one power supply per switch? Meaning, is the 715 a accumulative number or, just the watts of one power supply. I would like to purchase a 3750x PoE switch with redundant power supplies. If this model is not the correct one?give me the model that offers 48 port PoE with redundant power supplies?
In my office we bought 7 cisco 3750X - 48PS switches. We configured Data Stacking between those switches. We also want to configure Power Stacking between those 7 devices.
I found in the Data Sheet that we can only configure 4 devices in power stacking at a time. If it is like that how to configure the rest of 3 devices. Need configuring power stacking between those devices in a better way..
power stack cable part no we have is CAB-SPWR-30CM
When quoting a Catalyst 3750X with PoE (WS-C3750X-48P-E) the Dynamic Configurator Tool allows to include as the secondary power supply option the Catalyst 3K-X 350W AC Secondary Power Supply (C3KX-PWR-350WAC/2), but the default included primary power supply is the Catalyst 3K-X 715W AC Power Supply (C3KX-PWR-715WAC). My questions are the following:
1. Will this combination of power supply work?
2. Will the C3KX-PWR-350WAC/2 be able to power up the switch if the primary power supply of 715W fails?
3. Will the PoE will be lost if the primary power supply fails and only the secondary power supply of 350W keeps working?
4. If this secondary power supply of 350W is not suitable for PoE, why it is available as a secondary power supply option in the Dynamic Configurator Tool for a PoE switch?
It seems I have seen this before (and even done it once a few years ago).. but it has been a while. I have a stack with a Cisco 3750 stack that I have to replace a member.The replacement switch is a 3750X.
I think I have to upgrade the IOS of the older switch to be the same as the 3750X.
Current switch: WS-C3750G-48TS 12.2(46)SE TO BE ADDED WS-c3570X-48 15.0 (1)SE2
It seems to me there was a way to upgrade the older switch IOS from the newer switch or downgrade the newer switch with the older IOS.I dont have the Cisco account to download updated IOSs.
I have 3 switches in my 3750 X stack. I am getting the following error in the logs: %PLATFORM_STACKPOWER-4-PRIO_CONFLICT: Switch 1's power stack has conflicting power priorities. Not sure what I should do next. Below is my Stack-power configuration:
Power stack name: Powerstack-1 Stack mode: Power sharing Stack topology: Ring Switch 1: Power budget: 735 Low port priority value: 20 High port priority value: 10 Switch priority value: 2 Port 1 status: Connected Port 2 status: Connected Neighbor on port 1: c464.1308.7900 Neighbor on port 2: e8b7.4827.e680 Switch 3: Power budget: 729 Low port priority value: 22 High port priority value: 13 Switch priority value: 4 Port 1 status: Connected Port 2 status: Connected Neighbor on port 1: 2894.0fd9.9f00 Neighbor on port 2: 2894.0fd8.e200 Switch 2: Power budget: 690 Low port priority value: 21 High port priority value: 12 Switch priority value: 3 Port 1 status: Connected Port 2 status: Connected Neighbor on port 1: 2894.0fd8.e200 Neighbor on port 2: c464.1308.7900
Each switch has its own 715W power supply in it and all check out OK.
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?
when enabling multicasting on layer 3 interfaces the CPU becomes fully utilized , is there any specific configuration should be enabled to reduce this .
Config :
Inetface vlan 100 ip pim sparse-dense ip igmp version 3
I have a 3750X 24 port switch (with NM-1G network module) running IOS 15.0(1). Is there any benefit or reason to plug in the included Stack Wise cable and loop it back to itself in a single switch installation?
I don't see any recommendation in the documentation. The data sheet indicates a single switch is a non-blocking device so I'd think there's no bandwidth advantage like there is when connecting an actual multi-switch stack and needing to close the loop for the full 32 Gbps stack bandwidth.
About an hour ago I had the master switch on one of my 3750x (WS-C3750X-48PF-S) stacks crash. The only two items we've found that could have caused this issue are the roughly 1.3 million big buffer misses and several of the following in the syslog
SLT:WARN:No exporter configured for smartlog! I do not have smartlogging turned on, nor is there a netflow exporter configured
sh logging smartlogsmartlog is disabledsmartlog exporter:smartlog pkt length: 64 Total pkts processed: 0Total DHCP Snooping pkts processed: 0Total DAI pkts processed: 0Total IPSG pkts processed: 0Total ACL pkts processed: 0
I did not see any traffic spikes prior to the crash.
This stack has been stable since it's last IOS upgrade from 12.2(58)SE1 to 12.2(58)SE2 back in October 2011 so this has me a little worried.
I've 3750X switch that isn't loading email. then I went to rommon mode and accidently for "format flash". after that I loaded 15.0 SE2 s/w on it using tftp server but it doesn't boot up with that image. flash had only .bin file after I loaded it from tftp server.
since it wasn't booting up, I did format flash again and thought to load image again from tftp server but now, it doesn't load image from tftp server.
I have a 3750X four-switch stack acting as the core of a fairly simple LAN. All I need to achieve (and this seems inordinately hard, but it is entirely likely that I'm just being dense) is to get access to the internet through my core switch, through the firewall and out through my VSAT. I've spoken at some length with the firewall providers (Cyberoam) and they tell me all I need to do when I migrate onto my new system (Cyberoam is currently in place at the entrance to our existing LAN) is change the local IP address of the Firewall, plug in the new switch to the LAN port, and away I go. Tried that, didn't work, so obviously I'm missing something.
I am looking for a way to bind between a switch interface (cat 3750X) and a DHCP server reply.The switch can operate as the DHCP server .a PC connected to interface Gi 1/0/1 will lways get IP address 10.0.0.1 because it is connected to interface Gi 1/0/1, a PC connected to interface Gi 1/0/5 will lways get IP address 10.0.0.5 because it is connected to interface Gi 1/0/5 and so on... (no matter the source MAC address who sends the DHCP request).
