Cisco Switching/Routing :: 4500 Can't Find A Boot File
Jan 6, 2013
I have a 4503-E on my work bench. It's been out of production for a year or so. I started working on it last week. I think I may have cause a boot up problem. It comes up to ROMMON, but then I need to type "boot" to get it to come up all the way.
config-register = 0x2102Autobooting using BOOT variable specified file.....
Could not find a valid file in BOOT environment variable.BOOT variable can be set from IOS. To find currently setRom Monitor variables, please type 'set' command.
For choosing a boot method, type 'confreg' command. rommon 1 >
For choosing a boot method, type 'confreg' command.rommon 1 >
At this point I type "boot" and it proceeds to the normal bootup. (Below are a couple more print outs)

It looks like there is nothing between boot-start and boot-end.
I can see the boot file at 192.168.100.1 but I can never get into the GUI. The unit boots up, fans running. Eventually the power light flashes red. I don't have the unit hooked up to anything else except a laptop to try and configure it.
I have the attached setup. now i would like to limit my ftp transfer to 10 mb from a specific vlan to ftp server on the STM-4 (622) link. what would be the best way to limit ftp traffic to 10 mb .Video_Main#sh verCisco IOS Software, IOS-XE Software, Catalyst 4500 L3 Switch Software (cat4500e-UNIVERSAL-M), Version 03.02.00.SG RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc4)Technical Support:

i recently bought a new Supervisor Engine 720 WS-SUP720-3B and 48-port 10/100/1000 RJ45 EtherModule WS-X6148A-GE-45AF. Once i fired it all up i got this error %C6KPWR-SP-4-UNSUPPORTED: unsupported module in slot 2, power not allowed: Unknown Card Type. the System image file is "bootdisk:s72033-ipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-18.SXE6a.bin".
I have a 6509 up and running the same mods and working fine BUT the System image file is sup-bootdisk:s72033-ipservicesk9-mz.122-18.SXF7.bin. Is the boot image what is causing my isses?
I have a 3560x switch with the flash formatted . I have tried to solve the problem by copying the IOS file to the flash. But the boot failed either .I have tried to copy the same IOS by the Xmodem, The boot failed again.My question is how to fixed the boot issues after the flash was formatted?
On cisco and am having some issues with intervlan routing. I have followed the vids and manuals but just can seem to get this working. I have the following network lab set up.
Vlan 10 = 10.70.1.9/24 Vlan 20 = 192.168.0.1/24 ME2400 firmware ROM: Bootstrap program is ME340x boot loader BOOTLDR: ME340x Boot Loader (ME340x-HBOOT-M) Version 12.2(35r)SE3, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1) [Code]...
I unpacked a new 3560x and went to put our standard code version on it c3560e-ipbasek9-mz.122-53.SE2. Everything seemed to upgraded fine but it won't boot to a console prompt. It seems like it loads the IOS image fine but can't get passed the Front-end Microcode IMG MGR: Programming device 0. [code]
Does the 4500 support VSS (Virtual Switching System) ? On the official product overview page it says: 1.6 Terabits capacity with Virtual Switching System (hardware-ready)What means Hardware ready ? Does it mean that it supports VSS in the same manner as the 6500 ? The reason I'm asking this question is that I didn't find any info on the Internet about this. We would like to upgrade our network by interconnecting the 2 sites with Layer 2 redundant links (Layer 2 extension), but I'd like to use the both links in a load-balancing manner, which can be a real pain in the *** with STP. The choice is between 4500 and 3750 stackable core switches. The 6500s are very expensive.
How to know 4500 SUP7-E's MIB ?Our customer use MS SCOM 2012 SP1 get the OID are 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.1286, but we use IOS MIB locator, we can not find this MIB id.

I cannot boot IOS, when i reload this switch it go to ROMMON. I try to uploand IOS but it still has problem. i think i may wrong some point during i did uploand.
I tried to upgrade IOS from SXI2a to SXI9 in cat 6506 VSS. But the problem is that switch always boot with old IOS. I put the new IOS in sup-bootdisk and slave sup-bootdisk, bootvar is ok with new IOS: [code] Show bootvar is ok but switch always boot with old IOS SXI2a, some bug in IOS sxi2a???, I will try to delete de old IOS from sup bootdisk and try with the new one only.
my Catalyst 3750 switch. Following a power cut the switch no longer boots up. The SYST light flashed green but no POST checks are made. I cannot see any boot messages from the console port either. The switch was on a UPS but some thing may have damaged the switch.
What would happen if I installed a 32MB (MEM870-32F=) flash upgrade card in to a Cisco 871 router that already had 28MB flash on-board already? Would the router boot seeing 52MB (the max this router can have) or would it fail completely since the combined total would be over 52MB?
I know you can get a 24MB upgrade card but they are quite expensive.
i want to boot my Router's IOS from TFTP server but when I use the command: boot system tftp c2801-adventerprisek9_ivs-mz.124-24.T7.bin 172.16.10. 200; after that I write-mem, it shows the log:
-Router#wr -Building configuration... -ROMMON: out of room in table, cannot set "BOOT"
And when I reload the router, it cannot boot IOS from TFTP Server, sure my TFTP work well and 2801 can ping to TFTP.
What is the correct way to lic VSS on a 4500 SUP7L-E ? url... Under Table 5 - Support by Image Type; VSS is listed as available on IP Base (SUP7E only) and a plain Yes under Enterprise Services, inferring that you need Enterprise Services lic on SUP7L-E to get VSS? url...Under Table 1 - Minimum License for VSS; IP Base or higher (7-E) or special license (7-LE and Catalyst 4500-X)Can find no option on CCO / configuration tools to list a 'special' VSS license for 4500R+E chasiss with dual SUP7L-E and IP Base.How are you meant to purchase/license VSS on 4500E Chassis + SUP7L-E ?
My 4500 core always in 60 % cpu utility , and when i run #sh proc cpu sorted i find that 55 29725041543795572214 0 39.43% 41.40% 41.39% 0 Cat4k Mgmt LoPri
Which mean that this process is the top one , and when i run #sh platform health i found that Stub-JobEventSchedul 10.00 15.98 10 64 100 500 20 17 12 29269:55 K2 CpuMan Review 30.00 35.60 30 48 100 500 49 46 32 52390:52
Those two process are the top and they already exceed their maximum rang and when i run #sh platform cpu packet statistics i can find that Packets Received by Packet Queue
How i can configure the SFP Ports on my 4500 SERIES CHASSIS with other SFP ports on the connecting switch. I want to connect 15 switches via GLC=SX=MM to my 4506E sfp card.
I am getting a very strange problem where 4500 switch is remarking the packet with dscp 1 to 0.
Let me explaint the setup. I have two PCs connected on same switch but on different modules. PC1 is conencted to Gi4/19 and PC2 is connected to Gi2/43. Both the ports has been configured to trust the dscp. Below are the configuration:
I am trying to setup the WOL for our enterprise. We have a C4500 setup with mutliple Vlans. We are using Microsoft SCCM server to wake up workstations for security update. The workstations are on vlan190 and the Microsoft server is on vlan 441
Here's my config
the config below
interface Vlan190ip directed-broadcast 100 (Enables the translation of a directed broadcast to physical broadcasts) access-list 100 remark ====== Wake-On-LAN ======no access-list 100 permit udp host 10.4.40.98 any eq 9 logaccess-list 100 remark ====== End of ACL 100 ======
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?
read the posts regarding vlans that are administratively down, they suggested that they are down if no ports are assigned to them, however I do have a switchport assigned, and the interface is still down. This is on the vtp server and on the clients. The vlan is not listed when issuing show vlan brief. Other vlans configured in a similar way do show and their interfaces are up. These are two Catalyst 4948-10G.Cisco IOS Software, Catalyst 4500 L3 Switch Software (cat4500-IPBASEK9-M), Version 12.2(53)SG5, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1).
I have installed a WS-X4448-GB-RJ45 on a 4503 chasis. I could not get input or output rate, just shows 0 bit/seg wether or not is forwarding traffic. I would like to know if I have to make any configuration or workaround. The IOS version is 12.2(37)SG1.
When I connect two 4500-x switches in a VSS setup, do I need to have both 4500-x switches equiped with Enterprise Services, or can I mix IP Base with Enterprise Services in one VSS setup in order to save on licensing costs?
I have a Cisco 4500 Sup 6 engine and I have two 48 port fiber line cards installed. When I do a show interfaces I do not see any of the Fiber cards. This is a new out of the box 4500 and I installed the Sup 6 Line card in Slot #1, And the two 48 port Fiber cards in Slots 2 and 3. Am I missing something, is there a command or set up procidure for the line cards. I just assumed they were plug and play
I have a 4510R-E chassis which currently has a single supervisor 5 installed.
We are now looking at upgrading the supervisor to a Sup6. Now the question is this, can I install the Sup6 into the redundant cpu slot and then perform a failover to get the new switch working without any noticable downtime.
I'm not sure what having a Sup V and a Sup 6 in at the same time will do to the backplane.
Otherwise I have to take the switch down and then install the card and software manually.
I am about to configure 4 Gig ports for EtherChannel. I've been reading about EtherChannel and it seems easy enough to configure. I have a host (server)which I am going to connect to these 4 - gig ports. This is new for me and would like some feedback for those that have used EtherChannel on their layer 2 switches. The gig ports will be an access port with VLAN XX.
We are preparing to install a new switching Infrastructure at one of our sites. We have decided that we want to have two separate chassis as a core. My original idea was to purchase 2 - 4500 chassis and install 10Gb and 1GB line cards in each and use STP and HSRP to load balance between the two cores.
We had also contacted a vendor for thier recommendations and they came back with 2 6500 Chassis running VSS. I reviewed what VSS was as I had never heard of it and it looks to me basically to be real close to the same thing as Stacking. I didn't really want to have stacked Cores because I would like to have the flexibility to be able to take one core out and update the software or image, reboot, and such without effecting anything on the network. I can do that with the non-VSS approach but it looks like that would be more of a problem with VSS.
My question is, how to use VSS with the 6500's? How to take one of the VSS pairs off line and not effect normal network operations?
