Cisco Switching/Routing :: 4500 / 2960 - How Layer 2 Switch Works Without Default Gateway
Aug 14, 2012
4500 switch is connected to 2960 switch.
4500 config
Vlan 10
name Data
It has ip helper configured that points to DHCP.From 4500 switch port - port x connects to 2960 port.Port x is configured as trunk between 4500 and 2960.
2960 config
vlan 10
name data
All user ports are configured under vlan 10 and as access ports.Port x is trunk port connected frpm 2960 to 4500 switch allowing vlan 1 and 10 only.This switch has no default gateway configured.
We connected user PC on 2960 switchports and they were able to get the IP from DHCP server and were able to access the network? My question is how users on 2960 switch are able to access the network without ip default-gateway configured on 2960 switch?

I just received a Catalyst 2960-C (WS-C2960C-8TC-L R) switch and I am unable to sign into its web GUI in order to configure it. I've tried both the Cisco Network Assistant and Internet Explorer and I am unable to log in either way. The documentation provided by Cisco states that the default password is simply cisco and that a username is unnecessary. Needless to say, it doesn't work. I've also Googled for other default passwords (such as cisco-cisco as the username-password), none of which worked either. I've also tried resetting the switch back to its factory default a few times.

is it possible to run a Catalyst 4500 as pure Layer 2 Switch, i.e. disabling "ip routing", but still managing the switch via Fa1, i.e. the defautl mgmtVrf vrf ?I tried the following:
!
no ip routing
!
interface FastEthernet1
ip vrf forwarding mgmtVrf
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
!
ip route vrf mgmtVrf 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.254
ip default-gateway 192.168.1.254
I was not able to reach the Switch even from the same subnet. Only after enabling ip routing I could manage the Switch. I haven't found any command to set ip default-gateway for a vrf. Any workaround to keep routing disabled, but still manageable via VRF?

I have a Cisco 2960 ( WS-C2960-8TC-S) running 12.2(46)SE C2960-LANLITEK9-M image.I would like to set an ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 87.101.156.97 but the current image does not allow.Will ip default-gateway 87.101.156.97 work or do I need ip routing ?The ISP has provided a /30 address and we are using an additional /29 for our network devices. I dont think this image can be upgraded. I need to forward routes directly out to ISP. [code]

I can understand it 's one of those very basic questions , but how do I identify a Switch is Layer 2 or Layer 3 ?Looking through # show version command and checking the IOS version to be IP BASE or LAN BASE . Is it the right way ?Cisco 2960 is a Layer 2 or a Layer 3 Switch ? I noticed that access-lists could be configured which means that it 's a Layer 3 Switch , right?

I'm building the below network configuration:
WAN -------- ASA5505 ------<802.1q trunk>----- L3 switch -----<802.1q trunk>----- L2 switch w/ VLAN support
The following VLANs exist on the ASA and both switches: VLAN 10 (10.10.10.0/24), VLAN 11 (10.10.11.0/24), and VLAN 99 (10.10.99.0/24).
The ASA5505 performs the following functions: routing to/from the WAN, firewall, NAT, and DHCP for each VLAN. It has an interface on each VLAN (10.10.x.2) for a DHCP server.
The L3 switch provides inter-VLAN routing and layer 2 switching. The L2 switch provides layer 2 switching, with VLAN support.
What should the default gateway on the L3 switch be? Should I set the IP of the physical interface connected the L3 switch to the ASA5505.

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?

I configured the interfaces individually at L3 and could ping across each link Example:
4500 Switch 2: 6500 Switch 1
int t5/1 - int g3/17 1 Gig fiber link
tore down config
tried second set of interface
int t6/1 - int g8/17 1 Gig fiber link
Ping successful

As of late whenever I, or any of my roommates, browse the internet we have noticed a slower browsing experience, where pages used to load instantly, there is now a noticeable delay in accessing web pages. Also, in playing online video games, whether it be on the PlayStation 3 or PC gaming, high latency is always present. The problem is present whether there is one computer connected, or five, Mac or PC, Wireless a/b/g/n or if connected through the ethernet port. What I ask is: What causes such behavior, and what can I do, if anything, to resolve this issue?

We are about to install a new network consisting of Cat 4500s with Sup7E at the Access Layer, with Nexus 7000 at the Distribution and Core layers. We have 14 floors with at least three 4500s on each floor. Within the office block where the Access Layer and Distribution Layer reside we need to support secure borderless networking using 802.1x to place users from different parts of the business into segregated networks at layer 3.All switches will have the feature sets to support MPLS/ VRF / OSPF / EIGRP / BGP etc.We quickly dismissed the idea of using VRF-Lite due to the sheer number of Vlans we would need to managage and maintain, the point to point links alone just to get one additional VRF on each floor required far too many Vlans.As a result we are now considering deploying MPLS. The obvious benefits include scalability and manageability, the fact that all switch to switch links can now be routed, instead of having to using SVIs.

The internet on my laptop only works intermittently. After a minute or so of initial use, it stops working and when I run the troubleshooter it discovers that the default gateway is not available, and then it says that it has fixed the problem. However, after only a minute or so more, the internet once again fails. I have tried the "run>cmd>enter>ipcongfig>enter" and found that the numbers for the default gateway are the same on my laptop as for a laptop that does work.

My management has tasked me to give them a high level overview of the different switching we can choose for our new building.
This is what I know so far.4 Closets, each closet has 450 ports,One MDF room that is will contain one UCS Chassis and a Nimble iSCSI SAN.
I am working on the spreadsheet and it looks like this (Not totally filled):
2960s3560x3750x45064510Approx cost (Each, 48PORT, POE+, 10G uplink, Dual PS, IP BASE)

We have 3 layer LAN architecture, layer 1 of 6500(IP routing), layer 2 of 4500(L2 switch only), layer 3 of 2960(L2 Switch)In a Single (2960 and 4500) Switch Port Avaya IP phone and PC are connected.Now, the requirement is that, Qos need to be configured for Voice traffic and Data traffic should be in default class of service.We plan to use COS value in Switch 4500 and 2960. We made a sample configuration as below
### For 4500 Switch
class-map match-all VOIP-Access-2MB
match cos 3 5
class-map match-all VOIP-Uplink-20MB
match cos 3 5
[code].....
check these configurations are correct as per standard and if there is any other method of configuration?What need to be configured in L3 Switch(6500)??In 2960, it doesn't support ingress QoS, what impact it will make when compare to 4500? do users experiance any difference?

In mucking around with my 4500 I accidently deleted the ip address that I use to get into it with telnet and CNA. I have a console cable hooked up to and I'm in that way but the commands I got off the internet did not work. Those commands were set interface sc0 10.x.x.x/xx and set interface me1 10.x.x.x/xx. It didn't like interface and I notices when I did a set ?

I have 1 internet router 2960 and 2 No's ASA firewalls,The issue is Suppose if ASA-1 fails the failover will happen on ASA-2 but The issue is i dont have a layer 2 Switch in between the ASA's and Internet router, i have to manually shift the cable from ASA-1 to ASA-2,what sort of configuration i can do on 2960 router interfaces to support failover from ASA-1 to ASA-2, I have enough interface on 2960 router to occupy ASA-2. These all 3 devices should be in 1 Subnet.

imagine I want to make VLAN200 workstations communicate like the show in the attachment. What would be the default gateway to be configured in the workstation? If I configure 192.168.1.1 as the default gateway (R1 interface fa0/0) is this right?That could be possible because the switch should be configured with command "ip default-gateway 192.168.1.1"?

I have two ISPs. Each is on it's own subnet connected to the 6509 MSFC/Switch. FW1 is on 100.1.100.0/30 and FW2 is on 200.1.200.0/30 subnet. My goal is route all traffice going to the Internet from subnet 10.133.3.0/24 to FW1 and all other subnets across the organization to FW2. I am not sure if I need to use ACL / Static route combo, or just a static routes or ACLS?

We have two catalyst 3560 switches running c3560-ipbasek9-mz.122-58.SE2.bin They are connected using etherchannel using gi 0/21 - 24 interfaces.
on 3560-1 switch, there isn't any ip-default gateway or ip route configured. It only have 1 interface vlan configured.
on 3560-2 switch, there is ip default gateway configured along with 1 interface vlan.
What i dont understand here is that, i can reach out to other subnets from 3560-1 switch in which the routing is not enabled?

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'm trying to configure an IPSEC VPN + tunnel for multicast data. When the default gateway is set on the router (1841) it works fine but if I only set a route to the IPSEC peer via our gateway then the tunnel fails to come up. The end point is to a 3rd party. [code]
I found that if I add a static route for the tunnel destination via fa0/0, the public facing interface, the tunnel comes up..ip route 10.23.4.2 255. 255. 255. 255 FastEthernet0/0
and I can then ping the tunnel IP at the far end - 10.23.0.5.Why would that be? Is there a better way to do this without using a default route??

I have a design hurdle that I cannot seem to cross. I have two sites and I need the same VLAN to span both sites. I have accomplished this using L2TP but my issue is that I can no longer assign a gateway for this VLAN on the router. The 2 routers are 2821's and are connected with a dedicated fiber run.
Ant recommendation for how this could be accomplished? It would be great if I could have the same gateway at both sites by leveraging some sort of bridged interface (BVI so I've heard) but I am at a loss as to where I should start with this. Also, this is not the only VLAN that needs to traverse the link.

Recently we observed that newly installed WS-C3560CG-8PC access switches are able to communicate without a default route or default gateway.The 3650 switches are used as a layer2 access switch behind a layer3 distribution/core. They have only the management VLAN configured for IP with a single address.
The ARP table looks like there is an implicit proxy-ARP request sent for any IP address.
We definitely have no configuration whatsoever which would explain this.
Is this a new feature? We don't observe that with the older 2960-series...
Here is a brief trace of what's happening (debug arp):
host41#ping 1.1.1.1
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 1.1.1.1, timeout is 2 seconds:
Sep 20 14:44:06.706: IP ARP: sent req src 10.1.8.41 1833.9dc9.wxyz,
dst 1.1.1.1 0000.0000.0000 Vlan1
Sep 20 14:44:06.711: IP ARP: rcvd rep src 1.1.1.1 2c54.2dd3.wxyz, dst 10.1.8.41 Vlan1..
[code]....
The mac address if of course the mac address of the layer 3 interfaces of the distribution switch, no surprise here (proxy ARP is turned on by default).
Why is the 3560 sending out proxy arp requests without being told to? As far as I understood proxy ARP on Cisco IOS it only means it will reply to a proxy ARP request but will not send out proxy ARP requests by default.

Using Network Assistant in XP, plugged ethernet cable to first front port and keep getting "Failed to get Default Gateway. Check your security settings to make sure the current Java Virtual Machine is not prevented from running commands.", I have tried reducing secruity to nothing but I still get the same problem.
I also have an official cisco console cable and tried that, but Hyperterminal just does not pick it up when plugged in. I have left the IP dynamic, turned off all netowork adapters apart from ethernet, set the baud rate etc... correctly, still no joy.
