Cisco Switching/Routing :: 6509E - Four Port 10G Blade Buffers 16M
Dec 29, 2011
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?

Configuration as below:

[code].....
Note:Both active blade switch and standby one are connecting to same aggregate switch 3750. Yet the active one, with same config as standby one, has not occurred this issue.
What is the cause of having a huge number ( 875349) of total output drops on one of my gigabit utp port gi 2/12 which is connected to Cisco 1841 fa0/0 router by mean of cat5e cable.I did change the cable from cat5e to cat 6 and tried to increase hold queue to 4096 and to tweak wrr queue bandwidth
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!?
I have one Catalyst 6509E chassis and two SUP720. The bootup sequence on SUP 720 (standby hot) failed . Messages that appear on SUP 720, on the console port indicate o software crash. I don't have a flash card in SUP720.
This is the bootup process:

I have a lot microbursts in my network and i looking 10G switches with big buffers. Which models have biggest buffers ? I think about 1-2U (nax 4U) switch with up to 60-100 10G ports. Something like nexus 3064 (he has only 9MB shared buffers AFAIK). Besides deep buffers i need also:
- trill or another ethernet ring topology like erps,eapsv2, - Multi chassis LAG, - virtual routers, policy routing - dcb - 40G interfaces will be plus
If i replace a card of the same type in the same slot will I lose the configuration for that card or does it live in the backplane of the device?Is there any special command I need to run to replace the card or can i shutdown the 4507r-e and just swap out the blade?
We have 12 Catalyst Blade Switches 3020 for HP running IOS Version 12.2(55)SE. In the configuration of these switches I see the statement shown below.
no spanning-tree vlan 34,45-55,70,600,643,840,843-850
The 12 blade switches are configured as VTP clients and running VTP V2. I did not configure the statement shown above. It appered by itself. And even if I delete it, it will reapper. (The blade switches are interconnected to two 6509s. The two 6509s are the STP root and VTP bridges. I configure Vlans and STP on the 6509s).
why the statement above appers on the blade switches 3020s?
I mean I use other Cisco switches such as 3750s and 3560s and I have never seen the statement above appear by itself.
Im having problems changing a connection between a Cisco3560 and Cisco IBM Blade switch 3012 actually the configuration is access in Cisco 3560 and trunk int Cisco 3012 when i change the connection to trunk i lose conecctivity to the servers connected in the 3012, i have changed the access from vlan 1 to the respective vlan in the access port of the servers
we have 2 WS-X6516-GE-TX, WS-X6516A-GBIC, and a WS-X6748-GE-TX with a WS-F6700-CFC daughtercard
our sup is a WS-SUP720-3B
we are experiencing packet loss for everything connected in the WS-X6748-GE-TX blade, right now we dont have any production device in that blade due to the packet loss we are experiencing.
this switch was running hybrid before it is now running native ios, however I can't recall if we didn't have that packet loss before. do i need to update a firmware of the card or daughtercard (if this is possible, can't say i've done it before).
i have one of my switch modules that shows PwrDown when i issue the command show mod.
Mod Ports Card Type Model Serial No. --- ----- -------------------------------------- ------------------ ----------- 1 9 Supervisor Engine 32 8GE (Active) WS-SUP32-GE-3B SAD09120263 2 48 48 port 10/100/1000mb EtherModule WS-X6148-GE-TX SAL1029VWZ5

i tried disabling the diagnostic monitor for the module, did a power enable module command and then reset it but it still fails. this is the third blade that i am replacing in a few weeks and i still get the same error. i am persuded that it is not a hardware since it is the third blade in a matter of weeks. after the module reset, i receive this error % module 3 is operationally off (FRU-power failed)
could an ios upgrade solve this issue? are there any ios related bugs?
I have a LAP-1142 connected to one of our PoE blade in our 4506 switch, it used to work fine with the following power consumption:
Interface Admin Oper Power(Watts) Device Class From PS To Device --------- ------ ---------- ---------- ---------- ------------------- ----- Gi4/3 auto on 21.5 20.0 AIR-AP1252AG-A-K9 3
However, we had power issue on Apr 28, so it failed and we saw from the log below:
Apr 28 13:57:38.990: %C4K_ETHPORTMAN-3-INLINEPOWEROVERDRAWN: Inline powered device connected on port Gi4/3 exceeded its hardware protection threshold.Apr 28 13:57:39.694: %PM-4-ERR_DISABLE: inline-power error detected on Gi4/3, putting Gi4/3 in err-disable state After the power restored later, the other LAP connecting with the same blade restored without any problem, except this one:

- Incoming frames on three of a blade's four switchports are being put into VLAN 1 even though the ports are either in other access VLANs, or are configured as trunks with different VLAN IDs being tagged by the server. - When the ports go down the access VLAN is removed from the port.

I'm trying to get the VFC up in B22-FEX blade in Dell which is connecting to Nexus 5596UP.
The message I get is

I have a new 6509E with 2 sup 2T cards. The 10GE ports on both sup cards will connect to 2 5548s. Can i connect the management interface on the new 6509E to the old 6509 until i free up space to bring the line cards over?
I 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?
I received 3 GESM cisco blade switches for a HP Blade system. I do not have the chassis. I need to sanitize these blade switches but I have never worked with these. I don't see any removable flash. Where is the config stored?
I have a Cisco Catalyst 4507R+E (with Sup7-E) and two blades; one WS-X4748-RJ45V+E and one WS-X4648-RJ45-E.
When I connect a device to a port on the WS-X4748-RJ45V+E blade the port will not come up, show interface shows the status as "notconnect". When I connect the same device to the WS-X4648-RJ45-E blade the interface comes up.
The WS-X4748-RJ45V+E blade seems to have initialised okay, it appears in the output of "show module" as OK.
I get exactly the same effect on a second, identically configured Catalyst 4507R+E.
The software version is IOS XE 3.1.0SG, which according to the release notes supports the WS-X4748-RJ45V+E blade
I try to connect a cisco blade switch 3020 to Nexus 2232 with etherchannel, but when I connect the second link a obtain flapping on vlans. [code] why the vlans are flapping ? it's something wrong on the config ? [code]
I have 6 of these WS-CBS3012-IBM modules that need to be configured but I cannot access the USB console port. I was told I could just get any DB9- to- USB cable and that would work. I did buy a DB9-to-USB cable and it did not work. I looked up the installation guide for this module and it just said the console cable is DB9-to-USB but with no part number.
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 ?
3750 switch connects to Blade-switch_1 and Blade-switch_2 Spanning-tree mode is configured as rapid-pvst on 3750 switch, do I need to configure rapid-pvst on both blade-switches or keep the default pvst config.3750 is running VTP domain HQ and transparent mode Both Blade_switches are running VTP domain CLI and transparent mode To configure Etherchannel between 3750 and blade-switch_1 do I need to have all devices in same vtp domain?
I will be connecting 9/5 and 9/6 to Cisco 3120G (HP rebadged) Blade Switch in c-Class Enclosure tomorrow.It would be nice to have a rough sample configuration of the above 3120G switch.
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.
I have a 6509E switch with dual 6Kw power supply that is logging "Power supply 1 input has changed. 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.
Trying to find documentation on the proper procedure for installing a second sup720 into our 6509-E chassis for sup redundancy. 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.
upgrade experience with the 6509E on what IOS version to use. This is a new install, so I want the most current version that supports SSH and works with dual supervisors.
Here is some information: WS-C5609-E with 983008K/65536K bytes of memory Current version 12.2(18)SXF17b Slot 5 Supervisor 720 (Active) Slot 6 Supervisor 720 (Hot)
Just need a strong base code, no advanced services. Let me know if you any additional information.
We are experiencing with high CPU input due to ARP input between 20:30 and 22:30 every day At this time we have a lot of backup operations. When I look the netflow report, I can't see anything anormal.
We are changing our backup server's NIC card from 1gig to 10Gig. The backup operation's traffic is high (approx 2Gbps level) but 6509 has to be handle this size of traffic.
We are using two 6509E in VSS mode and our image version is s72033-adventerprisek9_wan-mz.122-33.SXJ.bin
20:00 show ip arp summary -------------- 2588 IP ARP entries, with 166 of them incomplete
I have to upgrade two Cisco Catalyst 6509E from Catos to IOS. I would want to know the requirements hardware or software for upgrading. Which are the recommended images I must download? From cat6000-sup32pfc3k9.8-4-5 to the latest stable version of IOS, is it recomended to pass to another previously version before?
I have viewed the following links,[URL]but, it doesn`t mention anything about that. The image below is the result of the "show version" command of one of our Cisco Catalyst.

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?
