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 :: 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 :: 6509 - Can't Change Native Vlan On Trunk Port?

Jun 6, 2012

I have several closets with Cisco 3560 on the edge that I'd like to change the vlan that's used for the management vlan on each. In the core I have a Cisco 6509 with Sup720's.
 
I'd like to do this by changing the native vlan on the trunk port on the core 6509 interface that connects to the 3560. and leave the management vlan on the 3560 as vlan 1.
 
Seems trivial but what I tried didn't work and I didn't have the window to troubleshoot. I'll paste the simplified configs for  the interfaces  below

6509 configs:

Cisco Switching/Routing :: 6509-E Switches Interconnected On Layer 3 Port Channel

Oct 3, 2012

We are currently designing  Layer 3 to the edge EIGRP solution  for our customers. The network is a hybrid of collapsed  core (Core to access) as well as a three layer design (Core/Distro/Access) for connectivity to the Data Centre, Internet, Wireless Blocks etc.The  core of the network contains two 6509-E switches interconnected on a  Layer 3 Port channel (no VSS). Access Layer switches (3750-X series running Stackwiseplus protocol)  connect to the core switches over p2p routed links and Distribution layer switches (3750X stackwiseplus) provide connectivity to the  Data centre, Internet, wireless blocks etc.
 
The access and distribution switch stacks(Cisco 3750-X) are set up with two or three member switches with uplinks multihomed to the primary and secondary core switch with each uplink included in EIGRP. In each of the stacks, one of the switches controls the operation of the stack, which will be  the stack master.As the Cisco Stackwise architecture is not SSO-capable but NSF aware, all Layer 3 fuctions must be re-established during a master switch outage. To minimize control plane impact and improve Layer3 convergence, uplinks should be diverse and originate from the member switches instead of the Master switches in the respective stack. This is as per Cisco recommended design solution.The above solution can be setup if there are more than two switches in the stack. i.e. uplinks are configured on the backup member switch modules.
 
1.But what about stack with two switches..Which switch should be set up as the Master for a two member stack with uplinks to the core primary and secondary from each switch(Master and Backup)
 
2. For Layer 3 routing, does the routing takes precedene over switch failures? Say for eg. In a two member stack, the master switch with uplink to primary fails, does EIGRP provide a fast convergence to route traffic via backup secondary and does not wait for the control plane on the switch stack to converge? All the access to core links will be set up for ECMP.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: 6509 Jumbo Frames Across Trunk And Sites

Oct 25, 2011

I understand that jumbo frames need to be enabled end-to-end. I have two ESX hosts connected at each site. I want to enable jumbo frames for those ports, but what if not all host on the ESX are using jumbo frames, will I have drops and connection failures? So if i have two sites, each with a 6509 connected via a trunk and need to enable jumbo frames for a vlan between the sites how do I accomplish this?If I enable jumbo frames on the trunk link how does that impact other traffic between the sites?

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?

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Lose Lot Of Bandwidth Over Trunk Port (vs Access Port) 3750g

Feb 18, 2013

I have a 3750g connected to a "core" switch stack of 7 other 3750g's via 2 GigE ports in a trunk.  This is currently in a switchport mode access port- channel so only the default vlan data is sent over. Now we have a need due to physical location of these switches, to allow vlan20 (DMZ) from this 3750g to the switch stack.  I will configure a few ports on the switch stack for vlan20 and they need to be able to talk to the stand alone 3750g.To do this I will change the port channel on both endpoints to

-switchport trunk ecapsulation dot1q

-switchport mode dynamic desirable
 
also making the appropriate change on the interfaces belonging to this trunk.My question is, now that its a trunk port that carries multiple VLANs, how much is the bandwidth reduced on that 2gbps link?I have a very active VLAN (10) on the stand alone switch, but on the core I'm not going to be assigning VLAN 10 to any ports.  So does traffic from VLAN10 even come across the trunk (wasting bandwidth) if no ports on the core side are assigned to it?  I really just need vlan 1 and 20 (for now).

Cisco Firewall :: ASA5580 Port Channel To 6509 VSS?

Dec 17, 2012

Anyway, here's the situation I'm trying to configure several VLANs on my ASA to uniquely allocate to contexts, the VLANs will be trunked from my VSS. Unfortunately I'm not clear on how to achieve this, the configuration guide for 8.4 talks about multiple contexts and routed setups all which don't appear to apply exactly. I've configured the port channel at both ends and I've configured sub-interfaces on the port channel and assigned VLAN IDs. These sub-interfaces are then allocated to the contexts to set 'ip address' etc. I've not been able to successfully test this configuration and I am concerned that it is incorrect..

Cisco Switching/Routing :: 3560 Multiple Switches One Trunk Port

Sep 21, 2012

We have 7 3560's in 7 different locations connected to our providor for wan access.  Our provider has given us a copper cable at each point and we have connected it directly to our 3560 switch at each location.  Each port is configured the same way at each location.  Each switch is running eigrp.All of the switch ports on each switch are configured as a trunk and vlan 299 had the ip address for the eigrp connection: [code] This setup is working as each switch see's all of the other switches as an eigrp neighbor.  We have also made sure that the switch at our head office has spanning tree priority for vlan 299.
 
So the problem is, if there is a change in the topology at one of the locations it usually causes one or more of the other connections to go down for some reason.  We just cannot pinpoint what is causing this change.  There are no log's or anything other than an eigrp hold time expired message.?

Cisco Switching/Routing :: 3560 - Trunk Port Recovery Time

Jul 10, 2012

I have a pair of 3560's configured with dot1q trunks between them carrying a number of VLANs.
 
Once deployed there will be a requirement for these physical trunks to be disconnected from time to time. Knowing that this is inevitable I am trying to minimise the period of time for the trunks to recover once the physical connectivity is reinstated.
 
All of the VLANs on the switches are configured for Spanning Tree Rapid PVST. Current time for the trunks/VLANs to come up is around the 4 second mark.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Rate Limit Trunk Port On 3750?

Oct 3, 2012

Is it possible to rate limit on a L2 trunk port on a 3750?

switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,172
switchport mode trunk
end

i was wondering if the "srr-queue bandwidth limit 10" command would work to limit the output from this interface to be 10 % of the port bandwidth and then the same command could be done on the other side.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: 4507 Passing A Trunk Through An Access Mode Port

Mar 15, 2012

we have a scenario that consists of a Cisco 4507 series core switch with more than 20 vlans which is connected to a C2960G switch( in a nearby building)  using a trunk by a fiber connection. Up to this point everyhting is fine . VTP domain is configured on the core switch and we have all of the 20 vlans present  correctly on the edge 2960G wich is part of course of this same VTP domain.the fiber connection goes from core switch to a  "in the middle location"  where we have a fiber patch panel that is connected in a jumper style to another fiber patch panel going to the destination building where the C2960G sits.
 
Now imagine that Fiber connection from this middle location to the destination C2960 edge switch is down for any possible reason meanwhile the fiber connection from Core switch 4507 to the middle location is still intact.In the same time, in this middle location , we do have a wireless connection which links 1 Cisco 3750G switche ( a different infrastructure and different VTP domain) to another C3560G switch which sits on the same Room in the nearby destination  building where we have the edge C2960G, An idea came to me is to connect one of the fiber port (core) in the intact fiber patch panel coming from Core switch 4507    TO  an access vlan configured switchport in the 3750G  switch ( this switchport will belong to a vlan designed only to trasmit the vlans on the trunk coming from 4507 core switch say VLAN 10) then connect one VLAN 10 access switchport to the destination C2960 edge switch ( the switchport on the c2960G is still a trunk)Will this solution work and all of the 20- 4507 core switch vlans arrive to the destination C2960G ? Or we do need something that tags the 2 VLAN 10 switchports  like switchport dot1q tunnel like QinQ

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Unexpected Traffic On Nexus 5000 Trunk Port?

Feb 6, 2013

So I took a laptop with wireshark and plugged it into a nexus 5000 port that is configured as a trunk with 3 vlans allowed on it. The laptop was seeing all kinds of traffic on the wire, most of it was not involving my laptop.
 
For example: Server A VLAN 10= 10.10.10.1  Server B VLAN 20= 10.20.20.1 and wireshark laptop is plugged into a trunk port which is allowing those vlan's. The vlan's are routable.
 
10.10.10.3 is seeing the entire conversation when 10.10.10.1 backs up 10.20.20.1 even though it has no reason to see it. It is as if the trunk is spanning traffic to the laptop port. No span is setup however. It's really weird. This is not just broadcast traffic, but actual tcp taffic between Server A and B. Why would a trunk port see traffic between 2 other servers talking to each other on the vlan.
 
Trunk port configuration below:
 
Interface Ethernet 141/1/3 
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan 10, 20

Cisco Switching/Routing :: 3750 - Blocking Selected ARP Broadcasts From Particular Trunk Port Via DAI

May 17, 2012

We  had a core switch (Cisco 4503), distribution switches(Cisco 3750) and access switches in our  network and consists of many vlans. Almost all vlans uses DHCP Pools.  But for few vlans DHCP is not yet configured due to initial design poblems. Recently one of the rogue  user in vlan 1 connected to one of the access switch send rogue arp packets to the network (suspecting arp packet with interface vlan 1 ip of core switch with wrong mac-address (gateway ip of vlan 1)) and resulted in a prolonged network outage for the vlan 1.  Any way we are going to seggregate vlan 1 into different vlans, but  before that we need a temporary plan to block such kinds of attack like enabling DAI in the switch. I have checked the DAI implemenation feasibility with my knowledge and found that it is not possible to configure to the access switches(Cisco 2960) in which the user directly connected. But found that Distribution switch connected to that particular access switch seems to be able to configure since DAI commands are available to configure in switch.
 
Is it possible to block ARP packets with the interface vlan 1 IP Address with rogue mac-address by configuring DAI in the above mentioned Distribution switch and the port connected to the mentioned access switch?

Cisco Switching/Routing :: WCL2112 / Wireless LAN Controller Not Pingable When Plugged Into Trunk Port?

Aug 27, 2012

I have a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller WCL2112 model. It's currently plugged into an HP Procurve switch on a trunk port. That HP switch is plugged into my Cisco stack on a trunk port. I can reach the WCL just fine through the LAN. But when I plug the WCL directly into the Cisco stack on a trunk port, I can't reach the WCL at all, unless I connect to it over wireless. The interface shows it's conneccted and up/up. But no communications are sent across the line. I did a wireshark and can see only ARP request from the WCL. The trunk port on the stack is set to:
                 
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/1
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode trunk 
 
The WCL has 3 VLAN's on it and the SSID of VLAN 1 is our office wireless. If that matters. .The Cisco Stack is 4 switches. cisco WS-C3750X-48P

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.

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.
