Cisco Switching/Routing :: 6509 (HA) And FWSM (active / Standby) System Upgrade?
Sep 30, 2012
I have 2 6509 chasis with one SUP720-3B in each and current IOS is s72033-ipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-18.SXF4 and 2 FWSM with version is 3.3.1 I need to upgrade FWSM system software to 4.1, after checking FWSM 4.1 release notes, I thought of upgrading IOS to latest version to 12.2(33)SXJ.I got new 2 CF of 512MB and downloaded the new IOS on them and need to upgrade 6509 IOS first to meet the requirement for FWSM upgrade.

Any have experience on triggered failover on VSS deployment with 1 VS-720-10G-3C in each chassis? I tried using "redundancy force-switchover" but after that the 20G VSL is flapping up & down and cannot be up normally, we got 1 FWSM in each chassis, any configuration need to fit in this kind deployment? BTW, if I shutdown the power source of VSS active chassis, both FWSM & VSS can failover normally.

We are planning to upgrade the IOS on our two 6509E supervisors in the next few weeks. We currently run IOS 12.2(33) SXI1 and are upgrading to 12.2(33) SXJ3. At the moment the two supervisors are in SSO mode and after reading many articles it says that when the images are different on the two supervisors they are in RPR mode. When you then reload the active supervisor it will reboot all the line cards.
1. Is above correct? Will my line card reload?
2. We also have a FWSM installed, When/If the line cards are rebooted does the FWSM also reboot?

I have 2 FWSM running on 2 Cat6500 chassis, they work as a Active/Stanby group. Firewall mode is transparent. [code] HA is running well, but I can not ping the standby IP (10.98.1.248). So what could be the problem?

We have a setup of FWSMs configured in single mode in 6509 chassis. Both 6509 are configured in VSS. Recently I have upgraded the firmwre from 4.0(3) to 4.1(3).....before upgradation config sync was not having any problem.
After upgradation...If any one of the FWSM reload..while coming up it gets stuck in config sync and no command we can run on any of the unit and get the error as..
Configuration update in progress by another process. Also on stannby fwsm no running-config displays.
If we used # failover suspend-config on primary and then reloads the standby fwsm...standby boots up with startup config and when # no failover suspend-config command runs on active fwsm..the sync started and completing succssfully within 15 sec..
Also failover works well..with #no failover active..

The 6509 Series Switches support the scenario VSS Active-Active Chassis, I would like to setup both switch's as one virtual switch but working at the same time, not with Active - Stand By Chassis.
My plans it to create PortChannel accross both Switches 6509 in order to have 2 links one connected to one slot/switch and the other connected to slot/switch in the second 6509 for servers redundancy.

I have FSWM active/standby installed in 6509-E core switches running following FWSM Firewall Version 3.1(3) Device Manager Version 5.0(2)F..I want to upgrade to latest FWSM version as well as ASDM, I downloaded asdm-622f.bin and c6svc-fwm-k9.4-1-5.bin from cisco portal. When i checked the show version of FWSM, it says..The Running Activation Key is not valid, using default settings: Running Activation Key: 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x00000000
I have gone through threads on CSC about how to upgrade FWSM in failover mode, now my concern is, Do i have to take care about activation key or keep as it is ? I have maintenance contract with cisco for all devices.

I am working on two Nexus 7010 with 5.1.5 NX-OS version. I configure HSRP traditionnaly, Nexus 1 with a priority of 200 and Nexus 2 with a priority of 100 for all vlan.
When I change the priority of a vlan to 200 to 50 for example, Nexus 2 become active and Nexus 1 standby. The problem is that when I do a traceroute from a PC the packet take the Nexus 1 as defaut gateway all the time.....
For information I have a peer link between the 2 Nexus for vPC.

We are planning to upgrade the ASA license in an A/S pair by adding the ASA5500-SC-20= license. The ASA is 5545 and runs 8.6. According to documentation, after 8.3 version, the ASAs can share a license features and do not require the same license on both boxes. I run a test in GNS3 with 8.4(2) images and I saw that by adding the 'activation-key' command only on the primary unit did the job as the 'show activation-key' output shows. In order to be 100% sure would like to verify the following:
Putting the activation-key only on the primary unit is enough and there is no need to do anything elseIn case the primary unit is standby, again we have to put the actication-key command on the primary unit (I am asking this because the 'activation-key' command is not listed under the commands that are not replicated to the other unitk, but doesn't make sense to be replicated since the activation-key is 'tied' with the S/N of the device).

Can I upgrade Active/standby pair from 7.2(4) to 8.0(5)25 directly or need to upgrade to 8.0.2/4 first? Upgrade an Active/Standby Failover ConfigurationComplete these steps in order to upgrade two units in an Active/Standby failover configuration:Download the new software to both units, and specify the new image to load with the boot system command.Refer to Upgrade a Software Image and ASDM Image using CLI for more information.Reload the standby unit to boot the new image by entering the failover reload-standby command on the active unit as shown below:active#failover reload-standbyWhen the standby unit has finished reloading and is in the Standby Ready state, force the active unit to fail over to the standby unit by entering the no failover active command on the active unit.active#no failover activeNote: Use the show failover command in order to verify that the standby unit is in the Standby Ready state.Reload the former active unit (now the new standby unit) by entering the reload command:newstandby#reloadWhen the new standby unit has finished reloading and is in the Standby Ready state, return the original active unit to active status by entering the failover active command:newstandby#failover activeThis completes the process of upgrading an Active/Standby Failover pair.

I have been asked to look at upgrading two 5520 ASA configured in a HA pair Active/Standby, from version 7.2(4) to version 8.3(1) to bring it in line with some other ASA firewalls in the organisation.
My question is can I simply upgrade straight from 7.2(4) to 8.3(1) or will I have to step the upgrade from 7.2(4) => 8.2(x) => 8.3(1)
Having read a few articles on the forums and the release notes I think I should be able to go from 7.2(4) => 8.3(1) .
The second part of my query is around the upgrade itself, having researched this a little there seems to be various views on how to go about upgrading a HA pair and I cannot find anything specific on the website.
The approach I am thinking of is simply as follows;
- upload images onto both firewalls in the HA pair
- On the standby from the CLI
clear configure boot
[Code].....

I went through the configuration guide for 4500 series switches for NSF/SSO for failover between Sup's. I just wanted to know that that are we supposed to run the SSO command on both of the supervisors? Secondly, are we only supposed to run the nsf process under EIGRP on the secondary supervisor and routing peers and not on the primary supervisor?

We are expanding out LAN network with more 2960 access switches. All the access switches are suppose to be connected to core switch (4507R) but i have less port on the core switch.
On the core switch we have two supervisor engines (WS-X4515 ---description : "Supervisor IV with 2 1000BaseX GBIC ports"). I can see that on each supervisor engine i have two 1 GB SFP ports available and if i calculate for two supervioser engine i will have 4 1GB ports.
But at particular time only one supervisor engine is active and other is in standby mode (redundancy mode used is SSO between two SUP engines).
Can i used all 4 SFP ports for connecting 4 uplinks to the 4 access switch?Will all the 4 SFP ports active at one time or only 2 SFP ports will be active that is for only active supervisor engine.

I was upgrading IOS on 4507 R with dual supervisor.I download the IOS on Active supervisior and did reboot.After reboot i login to switch then i got switch standby prompt.I found that after reboot active supervisior became standby supervisior.
Now new IOS is on standby supervisior.Need to confirm below..So this means that IOS does not syn within the supervisiors as compared to config right ?
-Which command i can use that will copy IOS from standby supe to Active supe??
-Which command i can use that will show both active and standby supe with new IOS?
-Is there any command that i can use to switchover from active to standby supe??

After rebooting a pair of 6504's configured for vss, both switches show active on the sup modules. A show switch virtual redundancy however shows the pair working in an active/standby mode. We have 6509's in vss pairs and they show active on switch1 and standby on switch2 led's. For the 6504's switch 1 was booted first and then the second switch about 30 seconds later. Is there something different with the 6504's? [code]

Configuring FWSM in a 6509. When I set "firewall vlan-group 40 40-42,251", it results in: "No more than one svi is allowed. Command rejected.".
I had "firewall multiple-vlan-interfaces" set for a previous use of this module, but took that off with the "no" command. Suspect that is the issue, but do not see how to resolve. Seems similar to bug CSCsr48563, but I am at the fixed code for that bug.

Normally when we do HSRP with vPC on N7K the device will be Active/Standby in control plane but it will be Active/Active in data plane. In this case any traffic reach to standby device it can forward traffic directly to uplink which is not my desire. My goal is all traffic should pass through active (control plane) device in every case unless active device totally dead. So Is it possible for Nexus 7000 to be HSRP Active/Standby in Data Plane ?

I have cisco 4510R L3 switch with installed 2 Sup on slot 5 and 6. the current active Sup is in Slot5 i want to make active Sup6 in slot 6 which is currently standby sup in chassis. Is there any way to make standby Sup to ACTIVE without reloading any of the Supervisor. however there is two way as per my understanding -
1. we can reload the active Sup so that standby Sup will take charge. - (redundancy reload shelf)
2. we can focefully switchover the state of Sup's by (redundancy forcefully swithover) but in above both cases reload will be performed by one of the supervisor. which i don't want.

I have my hsp setup where switch A and switch B share active/standby roles among several vlans. In the last few weeks, i have seen trouble tickets where connectivity is lost and upon investigation i discover that i can ping physical interface IP addresses for both standby and active devices but not the standby IP. I have also validated configurations and layer 2 paths and they haven't been broken.
What I end up doing is failover to the standby device and back and the problem clears, reachability is restored. My question is whether I am solving this the right way. If so, what is it that would cause the standby IP to not be reachable and how does my solution fix that? N/B the switches are catalyst 6509's.

I have a pair of ASA 5520s operating in failover pair as active/standby, having two contexts on them. I am planning to share the load and make it active/active making first context active on the primary unit and second context active on the secondary unit. My question is if this will disrupt any connectivity thru these firewalls when I do "no failover" on the active/standby and assign the contexts to different failover groups and enable the failover back.

I have (2) Sup 32 configured in a 6509 chassis. I have 1 power supply plugged into the wall and 1 power supply that is not plugged into anything but it is in the chassis and has green light to show that it has been recognized.
My problem is the "system light" on both sup32 remains amber and does not turn green. I have done show modules and sh diagnostics and sh power and everything checks out OK. Also there is an amber light on "active" on the 2nd Sup32 which I am assuming means that it is in standby mode so that would be correct.
Q: My question is could it be the power supply that is not plugged into anything causing the "system light" to stay amber and not turn green?
Q: Will this amber system light on the Sup32 stop the 6509 from running as normal?

I have the Cisco VSS consisting two chassis 6509.I have the system Active-Dual detection via Enhanced PAgP with one neighbor - standalone cisco 3750. All works good.I want to add one more neighbor - cisco stack 3750x with 3 members. Will this scheme work? And what is in danger, if the stack is split into two parts?

I faced one problem in our core switch 4507 R . Active sup lost connection and standby came active. We got lot of errors/alerts on console shown below. [Code] Also when I reloaded the switch with reload command only both sups got reloaded but I want to reload all the modules but reload command do not gives any options for that.

Tonight we were performing an IOS upgrade on our 6509 VSS to 122-33.SXI6. Both 6509's have dual Supervisor cards installed. Initially we had problems with switch 2 slot 5 supervisor returning to rommon however switch 2 slot 6 supervisor loaded correctly. After manually setting the boot var in rommon, switch 2 slot 5 supervisor reloaded correctly.
After all supervisor's were online we noticed when looking at " show switch virtual redundancy" that sw 1 & 2 slot 6 supervisors were running the correct IOS version but sw 1 & 2 slot 5 were running different IOS versions, however when looking at the show version we are running on the upgraded IOS??? See output below...
Why the active supervisor has loaded the incorrect IOS the VSS is running on the upgraded IOS? I have verified the IOS was copied correctly to each supervisor bootdisk, I see no issues.
My Switch Id = 1 Peer Switch Id = 2 Last switchover reason = none Configured Redundancy Mode = sso Operating Redundancy Mode = sso
Switch 1 Slot 5 Processor Information :----------------------------------------------- Current Software state = ACTIVE Uptime in current state = 3 hours, 38 minutes Image Version = Cisco IOS Software, s72033_rp Software (s72033_rp-ADVIPSERVICESK9_WAN-M), Version 12.2(33)SXI9, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2)Technical Support:
