Cisco Switching/Routing :: 6500 Series Switch - TCP Adjustment
Oct 14, 2012
I have a routed interface on a Cisco 6500 Series switch. I am trying to find a way to adjust the tcp mss.To date I have not yet been able to find a way to accomplish this. Is this just not supported?
Is there any challenge to upgrade core switch 6500 series from Nexus 7009 which runs NxOS, because i have 3750X series switches connected at distribution and access layer in my network topology??
Is there any challenge if we place NxOS in core and IOS in distribution and Access layer??? how we are able to match sh run config in existing 6500 switch to Nexus 7009 NXOS?
For intervlan routing, Is 'IP routing' command enabled by default on a 6500 series switches based on the IOS?and on 3750 switches, do we need to enable the "ip routing" command manually for intervlan routing?
For intervlan routing, Is 'IP routing' command enabled by default on a 6500 series switches based on the IOS?hes, do we need to enable the "ip routing" command manually for intervlan routing?
My task is to upgrade a couple of 6500 series switches, 6513 with SUP720/MSFC3 (WS-SUP720) and Policy Feature Card 3 (WS-F6K-PFC3B) installed. How to upgrade those switches if in SSO redundancy mode with two SUPs installed?
I understand that it is good to connect to the MSFC3 via console and upgrade this first, is this correct?
I also have to upgrade some 6509 but I only can test it on one 6509-E, how to get everything up to date. [code]
some of the features of 6500 are enabled by default and woudn't appear in the "Show run". See the command below and how do I make sure whether these featues are enabled by default or not. Would it appear in the config if enabled?
ip verify unicast source reachable-via rx ip verify unicast source reachable-via any
storm-control broadcast level 70
what are the difference between the commands below and can they be enabled together.
spanning-tree guard root vs spanning-tree loopguard default vs spanning-tree guard loop
I am getting the below messages on my Cisco 6500 series switches every 1min. The IOS version is 12.2(33)SXI6 & with SUP32-GE-3B
%ILPOWER-7-DETECT: Interface Fa1/1: Power Device detected: Cisco PD %ILPOWER-7-DETECT: Interface Fa1/1: Power Device detected: Cisco PD %ILPOWER-7-DETECT: Interface Fa1/1: Power Device detected: Cisco PD
These messages are I am recieving on few ports only not on all port having IP Phone connected. I tried changing the phone to some other model but that also did not resolved my problem. Also I tried powering on the phone using power adapter but the issue still persist.
Client are not facing any issues due to this error, but still I would like know what can be the issue which is generating these logs.
I am little confused about the location of FIB table and adjacency table in both cisco 6500 series and fixed ports switches .In case of 6500 series switches
"Central CEF mode:The CEF FIB and adjacency tables reside on the route processor,and the route processor performs the express forwarding. Use this CEF mode when line cards are not available for CEF switching, or when features are not compatible with distributed CEF."
If line cards do no support CEF, then FIB and adjacency tables are built and are located on route processor( control plane ). Data plane operations are implemented in software and route processor performs those operations.
Some Cisco switches actually use different hardware to control the different planes. For example, the Cisco Catalyst 6500 is a modular switch that uses the Multilayer Switch.Feature Card (MSFC) for control-plane operations, and the supervisor Policy Feature Card (PFC) for the data-plane operations.
Supervisor module has has MSFC and PFC. MSFC implements control plane operation where as PFC implements data plane operation.But the first paragraph says in Central cef mode, both data plane and control plane operations are implemented by route processor. [code]
Do these switches implement the Central mode cef in same way as mentioned above. i.e
"Central CEF mode:The CEF FIB and adjacency tables reside on the route processor and the route processor performs the express forwarding. Use this CEF mode whenline cards are not available for CEF switching, or when features are not compatible with distributed CEF."Or fixed ports switches such as 3750 implement data plane operation in hardware where FIB tabe and adjacency table are maintained on Data plane.
how to safely remove the WiSM2 from the Catalyst 6500 series switch? According to the documentation "Catalyst 6500 Series Wireless Services Module 2 Installation and Verification Note":
To remove the WiSM2, perform these steps:
Step1 Shut down the module by one of these methods: In privileged mode from the router prompt, enter the hw-mod module mod shutdown command. NoteIf you enter this command to shut down the module, you must enter the following commands in global configuration mode to restart (power down, and then power up) the module: Router# no power enable module modRouter# power enable module mod If the module does not respond to any commands, press the SHUTDOWN button located on the front panel of the module.
Step2 Verify that the WiSM2 shuts down. Do not remove the module from the switch until the POWER LEDis off.
But, in the case of Step1 (1st methods) I do not see a option "shutdown" in the command "hw-mod module 3"...
All I prompted to enter is: c6500#hw-module module 3 ?
boot Specify boot options for the module through Power Management Bus control register
reset Reset specified component
simulate Simulate options for the module Is it hidden options?
IOS version of c6500 is 12.2(33)SXJ1
In the case of Step2 (2nd methods) there is not any button on the front panel of the module?
And yet, it is better to remove the module configuration manually or use the command module clear-config prior to removing the module?
However it doesn't seem to work for my 6500. I know the 6500 uses PFC for QOS but I have no idea how it works. how I can guarantee a vlan 100mbps across a 1gig link?
we have cisco 6500 series switch and configured port channel on both switches with 2 gig interfaces on both switches.
When we enable the port channel mode to as desirable to the interfaces on both side and applied the port channel to physical interfaces switch will go down and if we remove on any one side switch will come up. we have enabled globally the following commands. [code]
I have 2 Chassis 6506-E with sup 720. one of them work properly(Switch1) but another(Switc2) not boot form bootdisk and go to ROMMON mode. I Captured IOS from Switch1 with tftp but I cant Copy this image to switch 2 with tftp.
We are using cisco ME 3400 E series switch. Which port we can use as CFM port ? We configured CFM in gig port.Is all the ports will act as CFM port or any separate CLI command is there for enable ?
I have mounted a cisco 2950G series switch in the network. we are working on Multicasting so I have LAN connectivity from one location ot other.
Situation:- 1- we do not have to do anything at remote location. its already done with final configuration and working fine because we other location witch are connected with this same HP switch at remote site and working fine but problem is only with one location where I have changed switch(cisco2960). when i connect cable from MUx to the switch cisco switch (Local) on particular port its does not response (LED continuously glowing amber color and does not go to green color) and communication does not start.for fixing this issue I have done so many things, vlan, duplex, speed- done everything but response.
situation 2:-when I changed this cisco device and use any other vendor's switch whether its manageable not manageable its get start proper communication. so I am unable to figure out whats the issue with. is there new or latest switch are not compatible with other vendor.
ON switch 6500 i have configured an interface vlan x and applied policies on inboud and outbound directions as per below: [code] But the problem i am facing is that the policy outbound works ok , but the policy inbound doesnt work at all. specifically it doesnt match anything. [code]
I am going to change a running 6500 switch. I am missing a best pratice doc for changing a cisco switch configuration. My question is if a startup-config has an error (due to typo mistake, or due to comands not supported on latest IOS) and I do copy tftp startup-config then what will happen ? I want to make sure when I do "reload" the switch then it should boot normally with the latest startup config !
I tried many different things to get the accurate answer for my issue. I wanted to know, will i face any connectivity or looping issue in the network if i connect Broacade SAN switch on a cisco 6500 switch.Also need to know to maintain a DATA DOMAIN which SAN switch is better? Cisco or other vendor.
The switch 6500-E is frequently crashing whenever the pm scp process reach 100% .I got it under the command "remote command switch show proce cpu".How to solve the problem. I opened the TAC and the engineer says to upgrade the image12.2(18) sxf.Is there any other work around that would avoid to reimage the switch and reloading.
I'm in the process of upgrading the IOS of our 6500 switch and unfortunately, the images were messed up by other users. Here's the output of show redundancy. [code] would i have any issues if I reload this slave supervisor engine to load the SXI8 IOS?
one of the most widely deployed switches in the world. The "Swiss Army knife of network", can do routing, switching, security, wireless and almost everything that you would want your core switch to do. Remember to use the rating system to let Akshay know if you have received an adequate response.

We are facing cold start issue on 4500 series switch. The switch is restarting automatically almost weekly twice or thrice.As per show tech. output , there is "cold start log".Please find the attached logs for your reference.After time change , auto restart happening & am not found any log for power failure also.
When i connect two cisco 2960 series switchs via stright trough cable causes delay in transmission sw1 has vlans and having trunk port connected to router all vlans are able to access internet sw2 is connected to vlan5 on switch1 sw2 has factory default configuration computers on sw2 can access internet but I have low bandwith problem on sw2 there is transmission delay problem?
We have a 4500 series switch that is running around 39% cpu utilization but seems to be dragging a bit. I did a show platform health and GalChassisVp-review has a target of 3% but an actual of 17%. All other actual values were at or below target values. I then went to show platform cpu packet statistics and in the "Packets received by Packet Queue" all queue packet values at 5 sec, 1 min, 5 min and 1 hour avg were either 0 or 1 with the exception of Esmp - that averaged 351/377/317 and 313 respectively. I then checked show platform hardware acl input entries static and the entry type InputEsmpToCPU had a whopping 10121370 hit count. All other entry types were well under that number.
We have two 6500 core switches and one(primary) of them is running in VTP transparesnt mode and the other (secondary) one is running in VTP client mode. I would like to change the VTP mode of the second switch to transparent mode. Would it cause any issue. I guess i have to create VLANs onto the switch.
I am planning to migrate the core switch from cisco 3750 to Cisco catalysts 6513 switch. What could be the best approach to minimize the downtime or avoid disrupting the production. I have couple of thoughts, one method is to build the core and then replace the existing core, another option is to build the new switch as the second VTP server and once it recieves all the VTP information then disconnect the old server.
One of my customer had a problem with A/C and the room temperature reached almost 50 C. We came to the site and saved the configuration, took a backup and shutdown the switch.
After the A/C problem is resolved, we tried to power-on the switch .. and we found that it is going to the rommon.
I put "boot" command to boot from the bootdisk, but I am getting the following error:
Code...
I tried to search it, But it is resulting in that most probably it is a hardware failure on the SUP.
