Cisco Switching/Routing :: 4507 - Monitoring All Traffic From VLAN To Cloud
Jun 14, 2012
I have a requirement to monitor all traffic going from the internal LAN to the cloud. The LAN is a layer 2 VLAN which spans multiple Cisco 4507 switched and other smaller switches.
The VLAN has an IP address which the hosts use as the default gateway.
The exit port is on a Cisco 3600X switch connecrted to 4507 #1 via a 10G fiber link. 4507 #1 connects the rest of the LAN. Those switches interconnect via 10G fiber and 1G copper links.
Currently the monitor host is connected to a 1G copper port, configured as a monitor port, on one of the backside 4507s The switch manager says he has the switches configured so that I can see all traffic on the VLAN.
Any "best practices" or recommendations on how to migrate from a fixed router (3745) to vlan routing on Catalyst 4507 switches in order to minimize the disruption to the network.
We have a number of 4507s. Most are managed via VLAN 1 address. All have multiple VLANS for traffic control. When I do a show ARP or show IP ARP the command only shows VLAN 1 info. No entries for any of the other VLANS on the switch.
We are trying to setup a new configuration with 2960S as access switchs and a 4507 as a core switch.I want to protect the management IP VLAN of the swich using vrf on the 4507 so we :
SHUT VLAN 1 on every switch (2960 + 4507) CREATE A NEW VLAN 289 (management vlan) -> IP network : 10.32.126.192/26 L3 VLAN on every switch VLAN 289 in the VRF XXX on the 4507 create tunk between the switch and the 4507 : switch mode trunk allowed vlan 200-230 sw trunk native vlan 289
so with this configuration on the 2960 the vlan 289 is UP/DOWN and UP/UP on the 4507 I can access to the 4507 using the IP in the VLAN 289 but i cannot access to the 2960 behind the 4507 CDP connectivity is ok?
I am tring to configure ssh in cisco 4507.After doing so Ican see ssh connection establish from default vlan but getting failed from other vlan.rectify the ssh configuration so that connection estabnlish from any vlan.
I have a L3 core switch with multiple VLANs setup. Is there a way to place an IPS so as to monitor the traffic passing between, lets say, VLANS 1-3 and VLANs 4-10?
I have 2 hosts, 1 plugged in fa 0/21 in VLAN 101 and another in fa 0/22 in VLAN 101 on our L2 Cisco 2960. If I try and transfer files from either host the gig 0/1 trunk port on the 2960 leading tot he 3750 fa 0/1 port hits 100mb (using a real time bandwidth monitor tool), but why? This VLAN is on the same switch, why does it go one way up the trunk to the L3 3750 switch? The L3 3750 is the VTP server and the 2960 is a client. I would of thought the traffic stays local. The 2 hosts don't even have a gateway set.To sum up the typology the 2960 and 3750 are trunked using a single cable. The 3750 hangs of a ASA firewall using SVIs.Here is whatthe traffic looks like when copying a file between hosts (2gb file).
Have a quick question regarding inter-vlan routing on a 3750. Overview of network is ISP --> ASA --> 3750 (acting as my core and default gw). I have 5 vlan interfaces on my 3750, all w/ 192.192.x.x subnets, a 6th w/ 192.168.100.x, and a 7th w/ 192.168.200.x. I have enabled "ip routing" on the switch and can successfully ping from subnet A to subnet B as long as both devices are using the correct DG for their vlan, which is the switch. I have a few ports that are trunked as well that go to ESX hosts which break out the vlans according to the subnet the vm should be attached to. The ASA is set to nat internal traffic for all the vlans.
Now my question: short of applying an ACL to each vlan interface to block traffic from other 192.192.x.x subnets is there a better way to accomplish this? I want my 192.168.10.x subnet to be able to reach all the subnets, but don't want 192.192.10.x to be able to talk to 192.192.20.x for example. I was thinking to create an acl like this:
access-list 120 permit ip 192.192.10.0 0.0.0.255 access-list 120 deny ip 192.192.0.0 0.0.255.255 192.192.10.0 0.0.0.255access-list 120 permit ip any 192.168.100.0 0.0.0.255 192.192.10.0 0.0.0.255
and then applying this to the interface for the appropriate vlan.
I have problems in my Cisco network until I connected some Moxa devices.This Moxa are models EDS-316 and EDS-208
My principal trouble is the traffic UDP. Suddently the network don't permit the traffic UDP in VLAN where are connected Moxa devices. During an hour the Moxa can send TCP traffic, but can't send UDP. If a Moxa device is unplugged from network, all devices connected to him can work offile from principal network, but if I plugg again the Moxa is like disable.
After one hour (more or less) the system restart all functions and work fine.I catch the logs from TXerrorsInPorts and all the ports where is connected a Moxa have errors all time.
I don't know which is the problem, but I think that problem is in negotiation from Moxa to Cisco.This is the configuration from a port where is connected a Moxa: [code]
We have a switch gc2960. It has ports configured on vlan 27 and vlan 29.It is connected to switch ch3550. It has presence of vlan 27 vlan 29 and also vlan 18 and several other vlans.Our internet firewall is connected to ch3550. It is a fortinet product, so this is not indicated on the diagram.
When the two switches were connected on vlan 29 access ports, pc's on vlan 29 on gc2960 worked as expected. vlan 27 clients of course did not work.When we switched the connecting ports to trunk ports, some weird stuff happened. Clients on gc2960 on vlan 29 could ping and resolve dns, but not browse the intenet. The same was true for clients on gc2960 vlan 27. We verified that packets from the web were coming in through the firewall. What we were thinking, is that they somehow were not being tagged to vlan 29 even though we were trunking.
When we set native vlan 29 on the trunk, then clients on gc2960 vlan 29 operated as expected. However, clients on gc2960 vlan 27 are still having this problem, we can ping and resolve dns but not browse.Consider the other switch ch2960-jstreet which has presence of vlan 18 and vlan 27. It is also connected on trunk to ch3550. We are not using native vlan on this trunk, and traffic works as expected.Is the lack of presence of vlan 18 a factor as to why gc2960 is not receiving the tagged packets correctly? Should the interface vlan18 on gc2960 have an ip address on the vlan 18 network?
I want to know what is the best way to black traffic inside the same VLAN, this VLAN is a user VLAN, it means that I am talking about access layer.I wanted to use private vlan, but C2960S doesn't support this feature. Any other way to prevent any to any traffic in the user vlan, this vlan only have to speak at the Layer 3.
At present we are having a 4900 series switch where we are running one monitor session.Additionaly we are in need of capturing VLAN traffic and set the destination to 2 * GE ports , both are in the same switch.Due to the limitation of two monitor sessions per switch , we thought of putting the destination ports as port channel but it looks like it is not supported.
I have One switch 3750 and many switch 2960 c.I use one ASA 5510 to reach emote branche site (vpn conexion).I use one router 1841 for internet conexion.Router 1841, ASA and catalyst 2960 are connected on the 3750.Default gateway of all user is ASA IP
I configured Vlan 3750 and it work.Now I need to implement security : permit/block specific traffic between vlan [code] From vlan 72 I cannot have remote access on computer in vlan 34 and I cannot ping computer in vlan 34.
We run a network of several 2960G and 3650G switches in a network with a number of VLANs. One one particular VLAN (let's call it VLAN 10) it appears that non-broadcast traffic (i.e. normal unicast traffic) is being copied to every port in VLAN 10 only on one switch . The traffic is not crossing trunk ports and does not appear on other switches that have ports in VLAN 10. We first spotted this by noticing that a UPS port had an unusual amount of activity on our port througput graphs:
This traffic at 4 am is not expected and this profile is repeated across all ports in VLAN 10 on this switch (a WS-C2960S-48TD-L stack running IOS 15.0(1)SE3)\iffed one port using local SPAN (the UPS port) and discovered that this traffic was not broadcast, which was running at a normal low rate at all times. The traffic appeared to be unicast traffic from other ports of the sort you might see on a hub. It was from various hosts that live on VLAN 10, most (not all) of the conversations had one end station homed on the 'problem' switch. There are about 800 non-broadcast packets per hour and this is a busy VLAN so it does not account for all the traffic on the VLAN.
We have a pair of 6509 working in a VSS configuration (IOS 12.2(33)SX5). The 6509s connect to a pair of ASAs (7.2 code) running in an Active/Standby setup. These ASAs in turn connect to routers going to remote sites. I have configured Netflow on the following VLANS,
VLAN 10 - Servers Vlan VLAN 9 - Transit/ASA VLAN (connects ASAs to 6509s). All traffic originating from any VLAN on the 6509 crosses this VLAN in order to reach remote sites and vice versa
I configured the netflow source VLAN 11 although I am not collecing any netflow from it.Although I have been getting lots of Netflow info, I noticed that netflow for traffic originating from any user VLAN on the 6509s going to any remote site via TRANSIT/ASA VLAN(9) does not get reported, I even tested with 4 GB traffic but no result. Only reverse traffic (i.e. from remote site to user VLAN) is reported as it traverses the Transit VLAN (9).
I read somewhere that egress netflow is not supported in 6500, but isnt traffic originating from a user vlan to a remote site via the transit VLAN (9) considered ingress with respect to the transit VLAN (9)? I would like to know whether bidirectional Netflow is supported on 6500 VLANS. I have mimimum control on routers beyond the ASAs, and since these ASAs run 7.2 code netflow is not supported, and Monitoring this Transit Vlan gives me extremely useful info.
I do get netflow biderectional traffic from the Server Vlan 10, but I think it is correlated by the netflow collector from vlans 9 and 10. [code]
I am trying to setup a network using Cisco 2960 switches with vlans configured. One vlan will handle video coming from four cameras that are connected to another 2960.
We have four cameras feeeding one port each on a 2960, that 2960 in turn feeds one port on the main 2960 which is the video vlan for that site. From the site it goes back to a Cisco 3750 to be sent over to a Sonicwall firewall. If we connect to the 2960 that the camera are connected to we can see the video, but not on the main site 2960.
I'm decommissioning my SonicWall PRO 3060 and upgrading to an ASA5550 (we're increasing our WAN link speed to 1Gig and need the 5550). In any case, I want to copy over the configuration from the PRO to the ASA. I have everything documented and I've started doing the changeover, but in looking at some other network diagrams on the net I'm seeing router symbols between the LAN switches and the ASA and I'm beginning to worry that I might need routers to do this which, of course, would increase cost quite a bit.
So my question is this: If I have a core switch carved into multiple VLANs and I connect each VLAN to a port on the ASA, will I be able to route and filter traffic from VLAN to VLAN through the ASA? If so how, in general, is this accomplished (I'm betting ACLs). I think that the ASA will be able to do this easily, but I just want to be sure before I get too far into the configuration of this unit,.
I have pair of 5596 switches in vPC. One host say "HOST A" is connected to the primary vPC peer and other "HOST B" on secondary vPC peer.Both are in same VLAN 10. Both hosts are vpc orphan ports as their NIC is configured in active/standby mode.I have configured span session on both vPC peers with span source as VLAN 10 in rx mode.Span destination is connected to secondary vPC peer. The issue here is that I am not able to capture the traffic originating from HOST A destined to HOST B which is traversing vPC peer-link.Same issue occurs for the traffic in reverse way and span destination on primary vPC peer. In a nutshell, any traffic which crosses vPC peer-link is not getting captured.
What could be the issue and is there any solution for it. Below mentioned is the span config and relevant interfaces. [code]
We recently extended our access layer using a pair of 5ks with extenders. We have a pair of 6509s at our core and they handle the intra-VLAN routing with SVIs. I recently noticed that access hosts connected to the extenders cannot pass traffic between each other if they are in different VLANs. The strange thing is these same hosts can ping devices in other VLANs as long as the other devices are not connected to the 5k environment.
For example, consider the following hosts. Each host has their gateway set to the appropriate SVI on our core.
HostA - VLAN100 - connected to 5k extender HostB - VLAN200 - connected to 5k extender HostC - VLAN100 - connected to 2960 off our core HostD - VLAN200 - connected to 2960 off our core
Each host can ping each other with the exception of HostA and HostB. As for specifics, we use HSRP (no VSS) between our cores.
When I ping between hostA and hostB, I see the egress packets on either 5k1 or 5k2. I then see ingress AND egress on Core1. There are no ingress packets on 5k1 or 5k2.The egress packets from Core1 show the correct destination MAC address of the target host. The mac address table shows the mac address on po31.
i'm going mad on following problem. I'm trying to get 2 networks seeing each other while one of the network is a non VLAN network and the other one is a VLAN network.They should use the same interface so i added VLAN e0/0.122 to the interface e0/0.Send a ping from my asa to both gw-IP's made me happy at first. In second in figured out that i cannot reach any client in the other network. For testing purpose i created an permit acl to any/any for both networks, but the packets still get dropped by the default implicit rule. (deny any/anyMaybe i'm to stupid for this
I need to confirm internet access from remote network through MPLS cloud to another site. Let me explain. We have a MPLS network with Wind stream as listed in the visio drawing; site 1 has internet access through the Time-Warner cloud for all users. Site2 has internet access through the Wind stream MPLS router. Site three has no internet access, and only has LAN access layer2 through Windstream routers to Site1 for networks 192.168.0.0/24, 10.1.1.x/24. My question is can we give everyone at Site 3 internet access through the MPLS network down into Site 1 using the Time-Warner ISP cloud.
I placed routes on the Site 3 3750 stack IP route 192.168.50.x 255.255.255.0 to the interface of the MPLS router at site3, then at site 1 we have IP route 192.168.50.x 255.255.255.0 to the MPLS interface, and able to ping all anything on the 192.168.50.0 network. I added the IP route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.50.x the MPLS router interface, we do not have internet access at Site 3 using Site 1 network.
I confirmed at Site 1 from the Cisco 3750 switch we can ping 4.2.2.2 = Google. How to confirm this will work and what’s required to complete this connection to give everyone at site 3 internet access through Site 1 Time-Warner.
I have configured a vlan interface on a 3750 switch. there is aprox 4Mb active traffic flowing through the interface, but when I do a "show interface vlan (vlanid)" the output show zero bits in and zero bits out. Its a typical L3 config with one IP on the vllan interface acting as the gateway for the VLAN devices. Is this a normal behaviur ? and if so is there any way to get the traffic in/out stats. The end PC/devices are connected to this switch via an L2 TRUNK and I dont have access to the L2 switch on which the actual devices connect. so cant get the real time stats of those interfaces.
I am having a Cisco 4507 switch. The CPU on the switch is running between 50% to 60% constantly. To troubleshoot I collected some logs using debugs & show commands.
debug platform packet all receive buffer show platform cpu packet buffered debug platform packet all count show platform cpu packet statistics show processes cpu sorted | exc 0.00 show platform health show platform cpu packet statistics
show platform health output shows the below process crossing the target value.

We have recently purchased a 5Mbit line with a second ISP and will have the line activated tomorrow. In addition, we recently obtained our AS number through ARIN. How would I configure the second ISP to be used for load balancing/failover?
We will deploy several 4507 with 2xsup7 as a L2 access switches for our office.Does LAN_Base IOS version support SSO or we need purchase IP_Base IOS (L3)?
SSH has been enabled on our one and only 4507 switch for several months and working fine. A few weeks ago the switch had to be reloaded and when it was back online I couldn't SSH to it. When I connected via the console and typed "show ip ssh" it came back saying I needed to generate the keys. Did that and it starting working again. The same switch had to turned off and on the other day due to a power down in the server room and when it came back the same thing happened again!!
The version of IOS is: cat4000-i5k91s-mz.122.20.EW
QoS design problem that I have. I have a client that is deploying new 4507 series switches with SUP6Es. The client will be running lots of voice, streaming video, and video conferencing over the LAN and want to base QoS on Cisco Media net recommendations.
I need to design a new QoS policy with focus on the above media services with basic queuing for critical data services. I have read the Media net design guide and the suggested 12-class model will be too complex to start with but I have seen references to start with a 8-class model with the ability to easily migrate to 12-class in the future. The 8-class model meets all of our requirements but I need to understand how this will work with the 4507 queuing model? [URL]
