Currently have a pair of 6509 chassis setup with VSS. Only have the Sup and two line cards in each chassis. Would like to replace with a new pair of 6504E chassis. Is it possible to fail one chassis at a time and migrate to the new 6504E?
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe have a backup sup 720 which has a 2 gigabit ethernet though port channel, to another chassis. Suddenly UDLD detected an error and got into err disable, then this err disable didn't let the interface set to DOWN, and created a switch loop, then our Supervisor reloaded. I'd like to know what could have caused this reload. In my opinion could have a been the switch loop, but also I've been checking from the output interpreter the show tech and might have been a bug, the only one that could match in IOS version 12.2(33)SXH, is this one: url...
We're going to disable err-disable next time I guess and recover the link manually, apart from that what could have made the sup for crash and reload?
swapping out a failed supervisor card on a 6509 chassis?
View 6 Replies View Relatedwe have some pairs of 6509-VSS, which partially have old (no more officially supported) 6509-Chassis.All linecards in the VSS are the same (Sup 720-10GE-3C, 67XX).
We now bought some new 6509-E-Chassis and want to change the old chassis by the new ones in a ISSU manner, that means:
1. putting the partner, which chassis changes, in redundancy mode, switch it off, exchange chassis (old "Catalyst 6509", new "Catalyst 6509-E")
2. inserting the line-cards exactly in the same slots and connecting all cables
3. switch on the new chassis, witing to come up in VSS
I'm not sure of having to set the switch number for VSS (is that in the Sup?; configuration? or part of the chassis-memory?)
I've looked up cisco for some hints, but don't found anything.
I have multiple 6509 vss switch. and i notice when the standby chassis reboot I didn't get any snmp trap, but I got when the active one reboot. my question is is there any mib out there for detecting and got a trap when standby reboot?

View 4 Replies View RelatedAny 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.

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?
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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a couple of 6509-E combined in a VSS system. I need to upgrade them to support 8 (or 16 at max) 10G uplinks. I already used the two built-in VS-S720-10G fiber connectors for VSL links. Which Ethernet modules do you suggest to use? are there any related upgrades that I have to do?
supervisor used: VS-S720-10G
Chassis: WS-C6509-E
I have inherited a 6509 VSS switch system as the network core and have the task of ensuring proper redundancy and redesign of the directly connected data center devices. One of the connected devices (WLC 4402) physically appears to be connected to both switches - the WLC is in the same rack as VSS-Chassis1 so I can trace the fiber from WLC port 1 to gi1/1/22, the other fiber from the WLC port 2 goes into the floor and presumably over to VSS-Chassis2 gi2/1/22 (there is fiber connected there, I have link lights on both sides, and the port channel, Po200, on the VSS switch which is configured on gi1/1/22 is also configured on gi2/1/22). My question pertains to the CDP neighbor output I get on the VSS switch: (truncated to include just the WLC) [code]
So my question, arising at least partly from the apparently misleading CDP information, is this: How can I confirm that the WLC is correctly dual homed to both core switches? (short of tracing the cable) I ask because there are several other devices (not WLCs) that need to have the dual homed connections confirmed.I tried a layer 2 trace route but for all macs associated with the WLC, the trace abborts with the error "Device has Multiple CDP neighbours on destination port."
I want to migrate a Cat 6503-E VSS to Cat 6509E VSS. We plan to use the same supervisor that we have on the Cat6503E, for minimizing the configuration change on the Doing this, the vss link will need to be changed, due to the fact that the supervisor slot will change with the Cat 6509, slot 5 instead of 1.
Question: is there a way to just change the vsl-link interface on a existing VSS ?
Currently we have two inter-chassis FWSM redundancy. I would like to configure them for intra-chassis.
Both FWSM's are in slot 7 of 6509 switches and i want to take secondary out from one of the 6509 switch and insert in the slot 3 of primary switch.
I addedd the following commands in my primary switch.
There were commands already present for FWSM in primary switch
firewall multiple-vlan-interfaces
firewall module 7 vlan-group 1
firewall vlan-group 1 2,3,777
to create intra-chassis redundancy i addedd the following command also there.
firewall module 3 vlan-group 1
after adding that, my firewalls worked fine but there was a issue with site loading. People from outside were able to access inside but from inside, we were not able to go outside.
do we need to clear arp from both FWSM's ? is there any other precautionary step, which we need to follow while working on it.
I have a pair of Core VSS 6509E SUP 2T. Two different LANs, two diff. Subnets. larger LAN has been connected to the VSS pair usng normal SVI and Post-Channles (has lots of closets 3750 stacks) and no problem. Second LAN, two closets, stacked and connected to each other via Port channel and trunk + SVI interfaces. Now, I have SVI interfaces for both LANs on teh VSS pair and that is causing traffic from one LAN to jump over to the other VLAN and rightly so because the VSS pair see both subnets as directly connected subnets. I was wondring if I delete the SVI for the second LAN and only keep the L2 VLAN this will be resolved> The reason for the second LAN to connect to the VSs pair is only that It has to go through the VSS pair to get to the WAN router (both LANs will go out through this Same WAN router) but WAN router is not my concern at this time. I need to isolate these two LANs/subnets traffic so no one VLAM traffic jumps over the other.I have also thought about VRF but at this point I am not sure if teh 3750 stacks supports VRF and if it does how to implement VRF on the second and samller LAN to just allow it go through the VSS pair in order to get to the WAn router.

Power capacity adjusted to 2671.20W" then will bounce back to normal at random times from 1sec to 10sec. Is there a command to check what each input level of the power supply to try to identify possibly which source is causing the problem? The power supply input lights remains green while this is occuring.

I have found documents that tout how 'cool' and 'awesome' NSF/SSO, and all that is, but haven't found any docs on installing a second sup720 into a chassis that is currently in production and is only running one sup720. In all the years that this chassis has been out, there must me a documented procedure out here to explain this.I have been through the following pages, and have found nothing to this effect.

Looking at the specs for WS-X6704-10GE, it shows the port buffers at 16M per port. This doesn't seem like very much for a 10G port. Is this upgradable or related to how much RAM is in the blade?

We've just invested in a pair of Sup2Ts to upgrade a Sup720 6509 chassis but I'm unsure exactly how the management port(s), aka the Connectivity Management Processor (CMP), should be configured (and patched) in a dual supervisor system?Is each CMP an independent entity or is the management interface configuration (IP address, gateway, etc) replicated between supervisors?If it's the latter then do both management ports need to be physically connected at the same time?

we recently upgraded our 3560 switches to the new 12.2-55 ios version but have not upgraded our 6509 because its ios is on 12.2(33)SXJ1. Not sure if this is related or not but it seems that after we upgraded to the later ios that the latency started.over the last 24 hours the spike is several times an hour and at least one a day that it hits the 90 - 100 % mark.is there a way that we can limit what snmp view but would not effect functionality or network?
On my 6509-E, all the modules show this:
Region F1: INVALID
Region F2: INVALID
Currently running ROMMON from S (Gold) region
Is this alright? Is the Gold region like a default region where ROMMON is always installed. And are F1 and F2 just storage partitions that are available to hold backup copies of the ROMMON? From what I read, it sounds like I can copy ROMMON images to F1 and F2, either the same version as the Gold region or different versions. Is that correct? Why would I want to copy different ROMMON versions to F1 and F2?

View 2 Replies View RelatedWe are preparing to install a new switching Infrastructure at one of our sites. We have decided that we want to have two separate chassis as a core. My original idea was to purchase 2 - 4500 chassis and install 10Gb and 1GB line cards in each and use STP and HSRP to load balance between the two cores.
We had also contacted a vendor for thier recommendations and they came back with 2 6500 Chassis running VSS. I reviewed what VSS was as I had never heard of it and it looks to me basically to be real close to the same thing as Stacking. I didn't really want to have stacked Cores because I would like to have the flexibility to be able to take one core out and update the software or image, reboot, and such without effecting anything on the network. I can do that with the non-VSS approach but it looks like that would be more of a problem with VSS.
My question is, how to use VSS with the 6500's? How to take one of the VSS pairs off line and not effect normal network operations?
Configuring a 4507R classic chassis with redundant Sup 6L-E? TAC told me the Supervisor 6LE was only supported on the 4507R+E or 4507R-E chassis but I have found in Cisco documentation several places that indicate that the Sup 6LE is supported in the classic chassis.
