I want to be sure for this before ordering: is the Enterprise-class stackable switches "WS-C3750X-48T-S" model can be stackable with "WS-C3750G-48TS" model.
If I have two stackable switches one that connects to the 6509 core switch and the other switch does not, do I have to uplink the switch to the other switch so that switch has route to the core switch or because the switches are daisy chain there is not need to cable one switch to to the other switch connected to core switch?
If I have two switches in a stack can both stack able switches be connected to a core switch through gbics or just only one switch can be connected to the core and the other switch connects to the other stack able switch through an Ethernet port which uses as a gateway to the core switch?
I'm building a wired closet to aggregate user's connections, Im planning to have 5x 3750X stacked switches and there is a need to run EIGRP, I'm thinking to order one switch with IP service image while the rest will run IP base image, is it workable scenario and what are the drawbacks of such combination of images ?
can you stack a 3750 switch over fiber.....the answer is no, but the virtual switching supervisor 720-10G for the 6500 can create one virtual switch using two 6500s...
how can we get cisco to come up with a way for access switches to be stacked over fiber similar to above supervisor? i know of few of my site that would benefit from this...maybe they can come up with a vss appliance, similar to a media converter, to convert stackwise over fiber...then of course, you would need the same appliance on the other end....

If I have two stackable switches one switch uplinks to one 6509 core switch and the other connection uplinks to another 6509 core switch, and also the other stackable switch does not connect to the core switches. Because I am using hsrp and also we are not using vss then one uplink to the core is not in used only ones is so then how does creating an etherchannel between does two uplinks to both core switches benefit me in anyway such as more bandwith and using both uplinks at the same time or I'm I wrong?
If I have two stackable switches were only one stackable switch has two uplinks one uplink goes to one core 6509 switch and the other uplink goes to the other 6509 core switch can a Layer 3 etherchannel be used if each uplink go to a different core switch, by the way hsrp is running between both switches and also can you give an example how data will be routed from the stackable switch through the ethernetchannel to one of the core switch accross the WAN to another core switch?
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.
My cisco 4948 switch is generating the below error,how do i troubleshoot this error.
*Mar 13 00:09:33.451: %C4K_L2MAN-6-INVALIDSOURCEADDRESSPACKET: (Suppressed 14 times)Packet received with invalid source MAC addre ss (00:00:00:00:00:00) on port Gi1/37 in vlan 1Gi1/37- to this port another 2950 switch is connected by trunk link.and to this switch end host is connected i.e.thin client
I am updating the iOS for a 4948 the bootflash is empty so all i can get into is the rommon. There is no option for x-modem. How can I put the iOS onto this device? [code]
We had to transport one of our 4948 10 GE to another Data Centre and when we got it there and tried to power up its System Status LED was red and we cannot even get console to the device.
We can try to see if the switch is completely dead and needs replacing or is there something we can do to get it back up and running again?
We purchased two new 4948 with two 10GE uplink ports and upgraded the devices to run IOS 15. My 6506 is running Sup 720 with s77233-adventerprisek0_wan-mz.122-33.SXI9. Currently we have 4948's connected to the same 6506's with no problems. Today I tried to add the new switches with new IOS and it caused of of my 6506 core switches to failover. I can't explain why because it was close to start of business and couldn't do much troubleshooting. Currently we have four 4948 (running IOS 12.2(14) switches running Layer2 connecting dually to each of the two 6506 cores via 10GE fiber uplinks. I tried to add two more to the scenario, again running layer2 and dual-honing them to each of te 6506 switches. there are two 6506 core switches and they run HSRP and spanning tree is manually set to give priority to even vlans on one 6506 and odds on the other 6506. Also the new switches I tried to add did had rootguard applied as well as the uplinks.
We have to get this working and have no test environment to work with. We need to do this late this evening after close of business.
On another note, I have had problems upgrading some of my older 4948's to IOS 15. I followed Cisco's suggestion and upgraded the EPROM first and then the IOS upgrade took on three of the switches that were ordered rather recently. The four that were ordered in one batch will not take the upgrade even following Cisco's instruction and lots of other tricks. Nothing works. Having problems with IOS 15, in general?
I am planning to upgrade Cisco 4948 IOS upgrade. We have few with older code( 12.2(25)EWA7), when issue sh version shows as Catalyst 4000 L3 Switch Software. while newer version of the switch show as Catalyst 4500 L3 switch.
1 Is this/(sh ver output) just because of the Older code ? My 2 question is according to release note : [URL]
You need to upgrade your ROMMON before the IOS . 2 What is the approximate time it take to do this ROMMON upgrade ?
I have 4948E module switch at customer site and below is the show version output. Image on the switch is not supporting 'AUTO QoS' as i need to enable Auto Qos on it to prioritize Voice traffic. Which image supports Auto QoS feature . Image should have L3 functionality also i mean it should support Routing protocols. I tried to enable auto QoS using by configuring "QoS' globally but no luck...with existing image.

I'm connecting the two devices above and I need an LC to SC fiber cable. It should be pretty simple but I've seen two different types of LC/SC cables - one is 8.3/125 and one is 62.5/125. I believe the 62.5 is an older cable type but when looking at the detail sheets for each of the SFPs I see that both of these support a 62.5 or 50 micron core size.
I am trying to setup the management vrf on the 4948 10GE so that my TACACS requests will use that vrf for out-of-band purposes. The vrf is working properly because I can ping the TACACS server using the vrf but the logins do not work. I see this error in the tacacs debug:
TPLUS(00000016)/0: Connect Error No route to host
Looking at the release notes, it states that my version (12.2.54 SG1) does support vrf aware tacacs but the documentation seems to be a bit off because i do not get a server private command option as stated in the configuration doc after configuring a tacacs server group:

Here is my config:
ip vrf mgmtVrf rd X:X ! interface FastEthernet1 ip vrf forwarding mgmtVrf ip address x.x.x.x
In my setup , i have one core switch 4506, 3750 access switches and 4948 server switch.i have created the mngmt VLAN in every switch.the problem is i can ping the every device mngmt ip from any internal network,but my server switch mngmt ip i am not able to ping.trunk link is configure between the core and server,access switches.What is the problem with 4948 switch?
We have Cisco 4948 switches running in production. We want to moniter the trunk link through SNMP.If trunk link fails SNMP need to send notification to server.
I describe an issue when i need to performe an L2 or L3 Etherchannel from a Catalyst 4948 IOS Enterprise and 2 xCatalyst 6506E bandled with VSS.
From the VSS Side when i plug cables i see on the physicals and Etherchannel that Physical and protocole layer are up. On the 4948 side, I see that physical layer is up and protocol and Etherchannel interfaces are down.
On the Etherchannel port summary i see that the port state is supended.
On the first attempt, i have test with a L3 etherchannel on both side using no switchport with two IP addresses one at each side on etherchannel interfaces.
The etherchannel are bundled with LACP mode active and on the second attempt with PAGP mode ON.
The same configured on VSS 6506E work fine with Catalyst 3560E.
ive updated my catalyst 4948-10GE to version 15.0(2)SG1.Now it is not possible to login by ssh or telnet on this switch. the access is established over the mgmt-Interface and vrf.i get a ping reply but login is no more possible now.is there an new feature in this version for vrf or remotelogin that has to be configured? if neccessary i can paste the running-config here.
I have got a new 48port Cisco catalyst 4948 switch, which I configured as a VTP client and connected to Cisco 3750 which is a VTP Server (this switch is on production network). I connected port g1/0/48 from 3750 to port g1/48 on 4948 through a straight cable and made both ports as trunk port (I also tried through cross cable). The problem is these two switches are not detecting. For testing I connected a PC directly to one of the port on 4948 (making that a switch port) still the LED on switch didn’t glow up. Is there any special command needs to be run on 4948 switches to activate its physical ports?
Does anybody know the Maximum Throuput of a Csico 4948 using its Layer 3 capability? Is it 72mpps for Cisco 4948 and 102 mpps for Cisco 4948 10 Gigabitethernet?
I need to connect a 6500 switch with a 4948 switch using 10G optics. On 6500, line card used is WS-X6704-10GE and I am aware that WS-X6704-10GE is a xenpak and 4948 ports are X2. What is the way to make the connection between xenpak and X2 work?
We are running a small network business and as funs of ciscos we own a some of the 4948s.We are facing an issue with couple of them as we get the below error message
C4K_CHASSIS-3-INSUFFICIENTPOWERSUPPLIESDETECTED:Insufficient power supplies present for specified configuration
First thought to replace the power supply didn't actually work as we did that with no result.Power consumption is not an issue as well because all other 4948s work fine with 1 power supply (forgot to mention is 1 power supply in all of them).
I want to choose a pair of switches for our data center.What I need: 48 x 1GE access ports, 2 x 10GE uplink ports.Nice feature of 3750-X is stacking. So what features has 4948-10GE? Why I should prefer that switch?
