Cisco Switching/Routing :: 6500 Setup In VSS Configuration - Port Channel ID

Jan 22, 2012

I have a pair of 6500's setup with VSS and there is currently only one link between then. However one end of the link is on Po10 and the other end is on Po25.  If I move the Po25 over to Po10, will things break? It seems to be working fine now. I'm about to add a second link and I'm concerned about the current configuration.  It makes more sense to me to have both ends of the same link on the same port-channel ID.  I've seen documentation which states otherwise however.
 
interface Port-channel10
no switchport
no ip address

Cisco Switching/Routing :: 6500 Redundant Supervisor Port Channel?

Oct 30, 2011

I have a Cisco 6500 series switch with VS-C6509E-S720-10G ,I have two redundant supervisors between two chassis on the LAN with no add-on line cards ?

I need to know if I can use the redundant supervisor 10 Gb uplinks to form a layer-2 Port channel between the two 6500 switches as i do not want to use want to keep the port idle additionally I need more bandwidth between the two switches for my server farm?

Cisco Switching/Routing :: 6500 STP Config On Port-channel Best Practice

Apr 3, 2012

I have 2 cisco 6500 in a VSS configuration , All of my Lan access switches are Stack switches and every Stack is connected to the VSS in a Port-channel so basically this is a loop free environment with no blocked ports .As a best practice I left STP in the Background (mstp)which enhanced cisco features to STP should I configure on the Aggregator (6500-VSS) and on the Access switches ?
 
Because of my topology I dont see the need in configuring most features like Uplink Fast and Backbone Fast but I have configured Loop Guard in addition to UDLD on the 6500 Aggregation Switches (on the port-channels).On the access ports I have configured portfast , bpduguard and guard root (seems a little pointless to configure the two...)
 
1.should I Leave UDLD on and get rid of LoopGuard and configure Guard root instead ? since LoopGuard cannot be configured with Guard Root.
 
2.should I configure GuardRoot on access ports if I already have BpduGuard on them ?
 
3.Is there anything I need to configure on the physicall interface or is everything configured on the port-channel since STP reguards port- channel as a single interface ?

Cisco Switching/Routing :: 6500 - Adding VLan To Trunk In Port Channel

Jan 20, 2012

I need adding a vlan to the trunks bundled in port channel. I know how to add v lans to a port channel with Cisco IOS but with CAT OS.

I have 2 ports bundled to form ether channel in switch which is running CAT OS. There are already few v lans allowed in the trunk of each interface. now I need to add one more v lan.

For Example:- 
v lan 135 needs to be added in addition to the existing v lans.
 
clear trunk1/2 1-112,115,117-134,136-4094
set trunk 1/2 on dot1q 113-114,116,135
 
and similarly on the 2nd interface
  
so if I add vlan135 to the trunk one after another will it cause any service disruption?

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Catalyst 6500 / Port-Channel Down But Correctly Configured

May 23, 2012

I has a issue about etherchannel beetwen 02 Catalyst 6500 switch, i need your comment about it. if you had any similar experience:
 
1.- On Catalyst Switch 6500-1:   I configured interface port-channel 4 and associated it to G6/29 and G6/30 interface Port-channel4description IUU1_Gn1_HLIMSGSN01_Port_channel_6_29_6_30switchportswitchport trunk encapsulation dot1qswitchport trunk allowed vlan 406,408switchport mode trunkswitchport nonegotiatelogging event link-statusload-interval 30mls qos vlan-basedmls qos trust dscp!

and i see output "show interface Po4A" up up on switch-1, "show interface Po4B" up up on switch-2   
 
5.- In the show running-config not appear configured Po4A and Po4B. it only show on outputs
 
6.- Po4A and Po4 was not configured on neither switches, my question is why appear Po4A and Po4B on switch-1 and switch-2 respectively?  and why Po4 appear in down down.
 
7.- I solved this issue by shutdown and not shutdown to the interfaces on both routers, currently all is OK.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Min-Link Configuration On 3750-X Port-channel

Feb 27, 2013

I am building a new network and intended on using the min-link feature on my port-channels between a 3750-X series switch and Nexus 4k.

However reading further into this it seems this feature is only supported on higher end models. I cannot find any reference to the min-links feature in the 3750-X configuration guide. Is this an available feature?

The 3750-X model is WS-C3750X-24T-L running IOS 12.2(55)SE3 IP Services

My thoughts is that the is only an LACP supported feature so I may not see the command until I have entered an LACP specific command on the port-channel but unfortunately I do not have a 3750X to verify this on at present.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Catalyst 6500 BUS EoBC Channel

May 5, 2013

"How to display the EOBC error counters in the Catalyst 6500 series switches and a definition of the EOBC interface" document here on support forum stays that The Ethernet Out of Band Channel (EOBC) is a  half duplex channel that services many functions, which include the  Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and the packets that are  destined for the switch.
 
Previously i were thinking that EoBC used only for SCP  and SLP protocol. In addition i found other article (but not on cisco site, heh) where stays that The Results bus is a       control plane, while the C (EoBC) bus is more of an       "admin plane", thus you will never see data       packets (such as CDP, SNMP, etc.) going over the R or C bus.
 
So there is a big contradiction between those two statements. How to prove one of those and if first one right, what meaned under the packets that are  destined for the switch in it? SCP and SLP or other traffic as well?

Cisco WAN :: 6500 Port Turns Amber After Unbind Channel

Sep 12, 2012

We have one cisco core switch 6500 series which was configured portchannel on several gig interfaces. This port is used as a trunk to enable communication between VLANs. The VLANs is where several high-end servers/hosts reside.After we disable / unbind the portchannel, the port turns amber. The following is what we did on the interface
 
1-no switchport command
 
2- make the port as access mode #switchport mode access
 
3- shut and no shut
 
4- clear arp
 
5- clear mac
 
what else can we do on that particular interface. It is just on that particular interface, the rest are ok.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Convert Switch Port To Router Port On 6500

On the supervisor card of a cisco 6500 series, according to the following link, [URL] it only has 2 uplink ports on the card. Would I be correct in assuming that I only have those to ports that I can configure IP addresses on?
 
The cisco that is being devlivere is coming with a 48 port switch and 24 port fibre switch. Could I change any of those ports into a router port and configure IP addresses on those?
 
The supervisor card is a ws-sup-720-3b the 48 port switch is a ws-x6748-ge-tx the 24 port fibre switch is ws-x6724-sfp

Cisco Switching/Routing :: 6509 Trunk To Port Channel

Apr 22, 2012

I have 2 Cisco 6509 switches linked together via single Fibre as a trunk.I want to change this to a port channel where I will add another 3 fibre ports to the port channel but what order do I do this to minimise any disruption.

1-Configure PortChannel and add the 3 new ports, this will bring up the Port Channel but what effect will this have on traffic currently going over the single Trunk link? Will spanning tree go mad, how will switches react?

2-Convert existing Trunk link to Portchannel then add in new ports to PortChannel, I guess in doing this there will be a small hit on traffic as it changes to a port channel.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Can Port Channel In 3825 Connect To Two Different Switches

Jan 17, 2012

We have one 3825 router used as voice gateway. For redudancy, we want to connect it to two different switches which has STP and HSRP running. Can I create a port-channel with two Giga interfaces in 3825 and connect to two different switches? Should I configure port channel in switch with only one port in each port-channel? I know server can be connected to different switches with NIC teaming. I just want to mimic that kind of setup. I did one time for port-channel in 3825, but it was connected to a stacked 3750X. So it's different case now.

But when i add a another server on different ports and port channel them the same way as the above server on nexus 2k1 and nexus 2k2, the first server stops pinging. so i have to sht down the first port channel and reopen them - then it works, however it says NO NETWORK ACCESS on the servers (running windows 2008). the only way is to reboot the server  i cant be doing this on a production network.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: 6509E Port-channel Flapping When Two More Links Are Added?

Sep 11, 2012

I have two Core 6509E SUP2T configued as VSS and has two 48 ports fiber blades. I have two 3750s, I have two gig on each 3750 port-channle to po1 and connected to both the core, one link to each core.Now, I was asked ot add two more links on each 3750 switch to make it a total of 4 gigs on each 3750s (all 4 gig ports/uplinks will be in used an dtwo links to core one an dtwo links to core 2).when i added two additional links on 3750s and bundled them to po1, I created another port channel on core and bundeled the additional two gigs on each core to accomodate for the two additional links (ports on core switches are not consequtives).
 
adding these two additional ports makes the 3750 switches flap between managemnet vlan and po1.now, i am not sure if I must have added the two additional links on the core to teh current port-channel or core!? I have created another port-channel on core to accomodate for this currently!?

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Nexus 5k Adding And Removing Vlans In Port-channel (vpc)

Dec 4, 2012

I am a bit confused by the output of 'show run' and 'show run switch-profile' that pertains to a port-channel interface configured in a switch-profile. My main gaol is to find out how can I add/remove the allowed vlans the port-channel (configured as trunk) carries. The setup is like this. I have 2 N5k in vPC domain and Etherner1/11 on both switches is configured as trunk vPC that connects to a core switch. When I issue ‘show run’ for the port-channel and physical interface I get the following output. [code] From above it seems the switch-profile configuration is missing the 'switchport trunk allowed vlan' in the port-channel interface. If want I to remove vlan 30 from the allowed vlan, should I go under the switch-profile mode and remove vlan 30 from the allowed list even though the switch-profile configuration seems to be missing this.
