Cisco Switching/Routing :: 6509 SUP720-3B / Dual Link With Failover And Redundant Configuration?
Feb 24, 2013
I have a two fiber connection from our Central Office(6513) to Remote office (6509). I have a requirement that on the remote office if one of the fiber goes down, the second fiber should work as a failover. I am planning to use SUP720-3B SFP to connect to the CO.
Can I connet one fiber to Sup720-3b G5/1 & another fiber connection to G5/2? or Can I connet one fiber to Sup720-3b G5/1 & another fiber connection to G6/2? I am running EIGRP between sites. Any sample config.
I'm fairly new to networking and need to migrate an old core to a new core. I have a 6509-e Switch that I had an RMA on one of my 720 sup cards. After receiving the sup card I swapped my slave out with the new one, expecting it to boot into ios. It booted into Roman. I tried to boot the image manually and it did the same thing. I also tried to boot from my flash and, again, booted into ROMmon.
Question: If i configure and change the boot to boot from image it tells me i need to reset or power cycle first. Will this reset the entire switch? As this is production I'd rather not.
I am at home now, but I can supply any logs/hardware model/configs tomorrow. I thought I would see if this is an easy fix.
below is the current config of link that is already up. I need to add another fiber redundant link between 6509 and 2960 stack. How to work on config Spanning side by not taking 6509 down after the change. 6509 is in distribution.
I have a heck of a time finding this kind of information on the cisco site...Is the WS-SUP720-BASE line card a fully supported module in the 6509-E chassis?
I support an active VSS cluster using 2 x 6509E chassis with single Supervisor 3C modules in each chassis. I want to replace these with Supervisor 2T modules. All my service modules and line cards are supported with the Sup2Ts (I will also be implementing 6908 modules). Is there a document on the Cisco site for this? I haven't found one though I can find plenty that describe how to do a software upgrade.
(Note, I have a 3rd (non VSS) 6509E chassis that is also part of this core network and that will maintain VTP/V LAN's etc).
I would like to add a redundant supervisor to my core 6509. Is this tricky to do? I know they have to be running the same IOS. I am worried if I put the new supervisor in it will write over the exsisting running config.
setting up VRF-lite on redundant 6509-E chassis to account for chassis failure? Let's say I have 2x 6509-Es configured with HSRP for 2 vlans, ServerA and ServerB. So
6509-A# ! interface Vlan10 description ServerA VLAN ip address 10.10.10.2 255.255.255.0 ip flow ingress standby 1 ip 10.10.10.1 standby 1 priority 105
[code].....
I now need to create an environment where the Server VLANs can be provided for two customers and they need to be wholly separate. On 6509-A, I make VRF CustomerA and VRF CustomerB and I assign Vlan10 to VRF CustomerA and Vlan20 to CustomerB. Do I create the SAME VRFs on 6509-B with the same logic?
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.
What I currently have is a Cisco 891W Router as well as two ISP's (both with dynamic IP's) in. I'm currently just running one of my modems into the 891 through the FE8 port and then if for some reason I have an internet failure switching the ISP modems. What I'm wondering is if there is a fairly simple way to configure (and attach) both modems to this router and then set it up to handle this failover automatically?
I am position to migrate from CatOS 6509 switch to native IOS 6509 switch. long time ago, there was some site to convert automatically based on copy and paste onto the tool, but i can not find.
Does anybody know how to convert CatOS configuration to Native IOS configuration ? It is not IOS change, but it is configuration convert.
I have two Nexus 5596UP that will be connected together via VPC-Peerlink. From there I want to connect both 5596UP's to a 6509-VSS via VPC.The Nexus 5596UP's will be essentially layer 2 switches, all routing will be done the 6509-VSS's.
One of the two supervisors in an IOS 6509-E did not come back up after a power outage. The failed supervisor in slot 5 was replaced and it booted successfully. However, the supervisor in slot 5 only booted up to a "Cold" state. I did notice the Hw version of the replacement module in slot 5 is 4.9 while the Hw version in the supervisor module in slot 6 is 4.8. What command do I need to issue to bring the supervisor module in slot 5 from "Cold" to "Hot"? [code]
I am trying to work up a config based on equipment that was ordered before I joined my current employer.
I will be deploying N2Ks at the top of each rack. Each N2K will be dual homed to two different N5K's. Being new to the Nexus, I understand that the N2K's have no brains and are dependent on the N5K's they connected to. Wasnt sure how to tell each 5K that the 2K that was dual connected to it needed to be able to move between N5K's based on failure/availability. I havent been able to find a sample config of what this will look like anywhere on the Nexus section of the Cisco site.
The next step after this will be to connect N5K_1 to blade on a 6509 and N5K_2 to a different blade on the same 6509. I will be installing two of the 10Gig blades in the 6509. Havent been able to find any sample configs on what this would look like either. We are upgrading the sup engines on the 6509 to the new 2T version.
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?
Our servers are hosted at the Main site, site office A access to the Main site for Internet and servers. We are thinking NextG to take over when the link between sites goes down.
To start with, what is the configuration for 3750 at Site A and the Main site:
1) Trunking for both switches
2) Routing
3) the automatic failover configuration for the switch at Site A.
I have recently implimented an RV016 device into our network. We have a bonded T1 service with Paetec/Windstream (5 static IPs) and also a cable connection with Comcast (no static IP). The T1 has been our primary connection, and our MX and A records all use this IP address. I have the rules set and using a one-to-one NAT setup with our 5 IPs. Everything is working great with the T1 in place and email is flowing with no problems, however when I connect the cable into the WAN2 port and try to send email, its using that outbound connection, rather then the T1 and our spam filter is blocking it. So the email is rejected and we get this message below.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Delivery has failed to these recipients or groups:
xxxx@gmail.com (xxxx@gmail.com)Your message wasn't delivered due to a permission or security issue. It may have been rejected by a moderator, the address may only accept e-mail from certain senders, or another restriction may be preventing delivery.
The following organization rejected your message: (our smtp spam relay) -------------------------------------------------------------------------
The reason for being rejected is just because it doesn't recongnize the IP address/gateway it is coming from.
My question is, how do I define that all email is sent out through our T1 connections IP address in the router?I see options for Advanced Routing or Bandwidth Management, but not sure what one I need to configure as I am not too familiar with these settings. I have Intelligent Balancer(Auto Mode) enabled as well by default.
The reason for adding the second internet connection is strictly for load balencing and getting some more bandwidth in our location.
I have two switch SG300-10 that need to be interconnect togheter with a simple redundant "cable fail safe" configuration.My idea is use the two uplink copper port of the first switch, connected to the two uplink copper port of the second switch.
How to create a working setup configuration? The first setup that i need, is with only one VLAN1 for all ports,
The second setup is with the VLAN1 assigned to the ports 1-2-3-4 of all the two switch, (linked togheter by uplink ports) and the VLAN2 assigned to the ports 5-6-7-8 always linked togheter with the same uplink ports.
Is possible use the two uplink port at the same time, as cable fail safe? or use a uplink port 1 for the first group and the second uplink port for second group?
I need to use this configuration for audio cobranet transport, and i need to test the correct configuration for the primary and secondary audio stream, if can work togheter on the same VLAN or i need to separate the two stream, from start to the end.
In IOS verson 12.X there was a Bidirectional Forwarding Detection configuration however in IOS 15.0 this isn't available at least not with the same syntax. Is this feature not available in 15.0?
In 12.X this was the syntax of the command:switch virtual domain <number>.
I am planning on upgrading my 6509s to use VSS within the next few weeks. I have checked all of the hardware and software prerequisites, and we are good to go from that perspective.I do have more of a procedural question- my switches are already configured and in production, VLANs, HSRP (3 IP addresses per VLAN- 1 per switch plus virtual IP), etc. Does the VSS upgrade take all of this into account and rewrite the configuration correctly, or should I plan on redoing the entire config for the switches after the upgrade?
I have already raised this discussion on "LAN, Switching and Routing" group. But I guess this is the right group for my queries. So I am sending my queries in this group again.
We are using CSS 11503 with one 16FE line card. We have connected 3 servers with redundant link. So FE1-2 in Server1, FE 3-4 in Server2 and FE5-6 in Server3. Our system team has configured APA in their servers as they are using HP-Ux.
1) Do we need to do any configuration at line card.
2) Do we need to do ether-channel at loadbalancer end. if yes, can you share me any cisco doc on how to do it.
I came across a Catalyst 6509 switch configuration and have noticed some strange thing on the ether channel configuration side, it appears that it have interface port-channel 2 and port-channel 2A, what was that mean? its the ether channel not forming and joined together?
What wrong with the below configuration that cause it to automatic created another port-channel (2A) interface in this case?
Last night I've upgraded a catlyst 6509 (non-redundant), during the upgrade I# run into the problem that the 6509 only wants to boot from sup-bootflash, and that it took an old image from sup-bootflash.I deleted this old image and then the node came into rommon mode.There I did the boot command and refered to the correct image on disk1:Now the boot succeeded. Just in time before I run out of my maintenance window.
I did some investigation and looked into the supervisor (using attach 5 and remote command switch show boot) and detected that it's configuration register is on 0X2101 (This is because I run into problems a week ago because of a corrupt flash disk and changed this in rommon mode , without changing it back, I'm afraid I'm not totally known with the 6509)
Question is now how can I change the configuration register back to 0x2102 without any service interruption (It will cost me quit some goodwill if I have to boot the node for the third time in three weeks)?
We recently installed Cisco 6509-E with dual Sup 720-BXL. We are using this switch on internet Edge. Internet connection is terminating on 10GIG fiber port.We do have following line cards installed.
We do have 2 GB internet pipe.We are running load test sending http port 80 request and when load reach to arround 100 to 200 mbps and connections from out side to inside 80,000 switch start reponding very very slow and start packet loss and when I try to ping from one server to second server it show normal ping but if I tried to ping gateway IP of server which is SWITCH IP it show packet loss and very high letancy.
Switch also throw message "No memory available: Update of NVRAM configuration failed"
We have a customer who has a network consisting of two ISPs, one as a primary and the other as a backup. We are trying to create a configuration that would allow the primary link to fail and the secondary link to automatically pick up traffic and begin routing .how to set something like this up. Both routers are non Cisco routers and there for HSRP is out.
I have two ASA 5540s, ver 8.4 configured in Active/Standby failover.I am also using the redundant interface feature for my Inside interface. Gig0/0 is the active primary and Gig0/1 is standby.
I will activate failover monitoring of the Inside interface using the monitor inside command.
My question concerns the failover monitoring of the redundant interface. If the gig0/0 connection were to fail would the Gig0/1 interface become Active, AND simultaneously result in a full device failover?
Or, does Gig0/1 of the Inside interface redundant pair simply become active and not change the Inside interface device failover state? Thus NOT resulting in a device failover.
We are looking into replacing our current Windows NLB configuration with a SLB solution as NLB creates some nasty multicast traffic.
We are currently curious about the limitations for running SLB without a dedicated ACE Module, will it handle line-rate speed (1 and 10 gbit) with SLB?
Does VSS introduce any limitations for SLB? Any other pitfalls/limitations we should be aware of?
Hardware info: 2x WS-C6509-E in VSS with VS-S720-10G (VS-F6K-PFC3C) running s72033-ipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-33.SXI7
does cisco 2811 support?if no, can i make it work for BGP?also, i want to know the configuration of bGP for twoo ISPs for link failover.it will be google if u tell me step by step approach for configuring it
Currently we do not have multicat routing enabled on either of our 2x Sup720-10G 6509 Switches. We have no intention of doing so either. I am looking for clarification on how mutlicasting operates within a Vlan.
IOS: s72033-ipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-33.SXH2a.bin
Our Vlan has IGMP snooping enabled. Here is the output.
6509Switch#sh ip igmp inter vlan 25 Vlan25 is up, line protocol is up Internet address is 10.1.1.254/24 IGMP is disabled on interface
we do not want to disable IGMP due to this one concern that I can't find documented. If we disable IGMP snooping on the vlan, what happens to multicast packets with a TTL > 1. Do they get flooded to the entire switch and all Vlans? Or does it stay within the Vlan?
