Cisco Switching/Routing :: 6509s - Differences In IOS Versions
Apr 26, 2012
I am working for a customer on an enterprise site containing many 6509's. We have built a test environment and upgraded a chassis from sup720 running 12.2(18)SXF15 to VS-S2T-10Gb running 12.2(50)SY on the management card. I have noticed and so has the customer that there are many commands missing or added and they want an expalnation of these. I can do some of them easily, change syntax etc but for instance it has added a table-map, 50 vlans with a large MTU and large COPP policy.
What are these ?? and also is there a quick way resource etc to find out why the commands have been added/removed, for instance-mls ip cef load-sharing full is missing--
In my network i have two 6509s connected with L3 etherchannel. i have created saparate vlans in the two 6509s with different switches.now i want to use one vlan in 1st 6509 in the 2nd 6509 how can i use ...
I currently have 3 core switches on my campus. They are 6509 catalyst switches. They currently are not interconnected to each other.I want to interconnect them to each other. The IP addresses of each core sit on a interface Loopback500. [code] How can I interconnect each core to each other and what IP scheme could I use. I want them to be straight L3 to each other.
We currently have 2 6509s with redundant Sup720-3b's and PFC3B daughter cards which are connected together over dark fibre using the Gb fibre connectivity built into the supervisors.
The requirement is to upgrade this connection to 10Gb as inexpensively as possible.
Do I need to purchase new supervisors in order to do this properly or can I use a separate 10Gbe module (we have a spare slot), i.e. can I get away without using the connectivity built into the supervisors?
The other idea I had was putting a couple of 3750-X switches at each end to sit in front of the 6509s and provide the 10Gb connectivity between sites. I could then use the existing Gb uplinks on the supervisors whilst also providing connectivity for some devices that currently connect to the 6509s but could just as well connect here.
We have a number of 6509s which generally have dhcp relay agents configured on the SVIs. The dhcp servers are centralised. Recently we've had one or two faults with misconfigured or faulty devices (blade server chassis and also printers) generating high volumes of dhcp discover packets and causing high cpu on the relevant 6500. I would like to rate limit these discover packets, which are layer 2 broadcasts. Storm control can't discriminate between different types of broadcasts and on a gig link would need to be set down at about 1% to have much effect on the problem. I've looked at CoPP and also mls hardware rate-limiting but as I understand it, these two features don't control broadcast traffic. I also looked at dhcp snooping but if an interface receives a high level of dhcp discover broadcasts, e.g. over 100pps, I don't want it to go error-disabled (as this would knock down the whole edge switch), just to drop the excess packets.
How can I find out the firmware versions for IOS, modules and components of Cisco catalyst 4500 series switch. I can see the firmware version of IOS in show version command but how can I find it out for the modules or components of the switch.
We replaced a 3560 with a new 2960S and I'm only able to configure a single ip sla where before we had three ip sla entries on the 3560. Obviously, one is a L2 switch and the other a L3 switch. This is an expected difference between switches, correct?
We are looking to replace some aging 3560 switches with 100Mb/s interfaces. They service IP phones and workstations.
For having IP phones directly connected to access switches that are also servicing workstations, we don't need L3 routing except in the core, so the question is what would we lose if we used 2960S switches for access switches.
I understand from having spoken with Cisco TAC that a limited subset of QoS is available on the 2960S platform. Does that includes the priority queue that is enabled when you turn on mls qos on a L3 switch?
I am trying to decipher the differences between the two models of the 1921 router. One has an IP Base IOS and the other has a Security IOS. I have an ASA so I don't think I need all the Security IOS bells and whistles on an internal router. Although, does the IP Base IOS allow for trunking and sub interfaces? I definitely need that and on CDW's website it says that the 1921-Sec/K9 w/ Security IOS includes 802.1Q and that spec is not listed on the 1921/K9 IP Base IOS model.
I understand that my questions seems to be rather strange cos supervisors is rather old (Sup1A especially). But i am interested in understanding what puprpose were in production SUP32. I cant find out enough differencies between Sup1A with MSFC2 and Sup32 to understand what reasons lead to deploying new sup in none fabric supervisor series.
Both supervisors have same perfomance - 15Mpps and have limitation on backplane bandwith of 32 Gbps (cos both use swithing bus), both supervisors equipped with MSFC2 and etc. Differencies i found:
SUP 32 have 10Gbe ports support (but this seems to be doubtful enhancement - with it perfomance GE ports seems to be more appropriate technology isnt it?) SUP1A equipped with PFC, SUP32 with PFC3BSUP32 deploys CEF (what is benefit of CEF if perfomance same?)
We have two 6509 will active/passive sup 720-3BXL cards in each and 1GB DRAM. Each handles full bgp routing table with 4-5 ISP(eBGP) connections. The problem we are facing is.. 6509 were meant for core/aggregation and seam to be wasted are edge devices. With each ISP added the DRAM creeps up to a point were is it 80% utilized.
I am looking to replace both 6509's with routers which were meant to work on the edge. As mentioned earlier, it will have 4-6 external bgp peers per router. Handle full bgp tables. Should be capable of policy based routing.
I got a few Cisco Aironet 3602i. The minimum WLC version to support these is 7.1.91.0. I am planning to upgrade to 7.2.103.0. The minimum WCS version to support these WAP is 7.0.220.0 and the next available 7.0.230.0. Checking the release notes for both of these WCS versions, there is no mention of support for WLC versions listed above.

Am I missing something here ? What versions would be required on WCS and WLC to make all the three entities (WLC, WCS, WAP) inter-operable ?
I have 3 WLC's currently running version 7.0.116 and a WCS on version 7.0.220. I am looking at upgrading the versions and am uncertain as to the compatibility.
1. Upgrade the WCS to 7.0.240, and upgrade the WLC's to 7.3. Resulting in my WCS just not able to manage the "new features" in the latest WLC code?
2. Upgrade the WLC's to 7.3 resulting in WCS completely unable to manage the WLC's? I am aware there is WLC 7.4 code however I've read there is an issue with 1142 AP's rebooting.
I have to upgrade a WCS from version 6 to 7, here we have a MSE having a 6.0.85.0, the matrix document indicates that you can map or well,having installed only one version or release from MSE to WCS, my question is, do i have to upgrade first the mse to the compatible version to the new wcs version we want to upgrade?
I am in the process of rebuilding our ASA 5540 pair. We are currently on 8.2 code with this set of firewalls and I was going to upgrade it to 8.4 being I have a couple of other firewalls running this code currently and am familiar with it. That said, I saw that the 9.x code is out there now. Are there any major advantages or caveats with the 9.0 code? I plan to use this firewall with SSL VPN and RSA Secure ID integration for the next 2-3 years at least. Any quick pointers on these two code versions and on upgrading to 9 or staying with 8.4 line.
Why do some versions have heatsinks and others don't? The HP branded cards EH352AA always seem to have the heatsink, but very few Intel branded cards have it. I'm talking about the single port NICs - all dual+ port cards have the heatsink.
I am configuring two 2504 controllers, which I ordered together, however they run different software versions and I don't have a contract/ login to download wlan controller software from the Cisco website. The one with the newest version runs 7.2.103.0 while the other one runs 7.0.220.0 I want to run them together in the same subnet and use them for redundancy (10 AP's will connect).
Is there a way I can download the software from the controller, just like I am able to do with an ASA firewall? Then I can upload it to the controller with the older software version.
We have 3200 logical devices configured on CiscoWorks and CiscoWorks is running very very slow. CiscoWorks installed on server with Windows Server 2003 32-bit and this version of windows it can only support RAM up to 4GB, which is already installed. In order to increase the RAM we have to upgrade the windows version as well. Which versions of Window can perform best with CiscoWorks. E.g. Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1 (SP1), Standard Edition 64-bit: or Windows server 2008 etc. We are currently using the LMS 3.2, RME 4.3.0, CM 5.2.1
I have LMS 4.1 and I'm trying to render a Nexus 7010 in Ciscoview. I have downloaded the latest package files. The Sup2 and Fab2 modules (N7K-SUP2 and N7K-C7010-FAB-2) show as "unsupported card".What packages and versions are required to recognize this card with LMS 4.1?
I'm putting together a lab to start on my CCNA and I've got two 3640s and two 2620s. I want to upgrade all of the units before I start on the CCNA and I'm having trouble working out what the final rommon version is for each of the routers.My 3640's are on version "Version 11.1(20)AA2". Is this the final release ?
One of my 2620's is on "Version 12.2(10r)1" and the other is on "Version 12.2(6r)". Is "10r" the final release for the 2620 ?I've also seen a few sites mention that either version "8r" or "3r" of the 2620 rommon adds support for 32MB flash SIMMs. Is that correct ?Is there a document that describes the differences between the different releases ?
We have Internal Wireless Controllers to be set up for HA (AP SSO) and wireless traffic from Guest SSID will be terminated on a Guest Anchor Controller inside Firewall DMZ. The Internal WLC controllers are installed with software versions 7.3.101.0, and the Guest Anchor controller is installed with software version 7.2.103.0. Just wondering if the Guest Anchor controller needs an upgrade to match the software versions on the HA controllers. Also, Cisco provides a new version of code, 7.3.112.0 now. So is it recommended to install the new software version on the HA controllers as well as the Guest Anchor Controller.
We have a WEB VPN running on Cisco ASA 5510 (SW = 8.2.1 / ASDM SW = 6.2.1). There are multiple internal (Web) applications are published on it and are working. One of the Web Application is working from internal network but from outside (or internet) through Web VPN, it is getting stuck and trying to load JAVA version. It is to be mentioned here, the latter web application is required Java Version 1.4.2 while the working applications are working with Java 1.5.1.
Is it possible to mount the more than on Java version on Cisco ASDM to be worked together ?
I have 2 laptops, one is running VISTA and one is running Windows 8. They are connected to my wireless router. I also have a desktop running Windows 7 that is wired to router. I have searched the internet and cannot find how to set up a new network without using a HOMEGROUP?
I have many of these, many models and versions. I have a WRT54G v1, V1.1, V2....V8, I also have WRT54GS's WRT54GL's and others, Lots of other Linksys stuff, almost all of it in the Blue and Black boxes of varing sizes.I have a heck of a time when I reconfigure my network or the wife changes the furniture. I'd love a single document that lists the power specifications and adapter requirements for thens devices... I can't find them any where on the Linksys site. I Have looked and searched and nowhere can I find a consolidate list.
Any have a list of the DC power Specifications, Barrel sizes, and other stuff needed to buy a replacement Power adapter. This page url...lists a lot of information but does not list this critical information... I am amazed that Linksys does not have it listed some where here. Losing a wall wart should not be a reason to pull you hair out, just a simple purchase, If they don't want to stock them, then at least tell us what they are.
We have installed Cisco Prime 4.1 and we have discovered all the devices of our network. Although all devices appear as known both in Monitor and in Inventory, some of them are not being monitored correctly.For example, in the Known_Device_List Report, I have a device named 'Switch1' with IP 'x.x.x.' but in the monitoring, it shown by the name 'Switch2' with the same IP 'x.x.x.x'.
It seems that the DFM database doesn't get correctly this device from DCR, but in the LMS 4.1 version there is no option to delete this device from the DFM. I already tried to rediscovery devices throught CLI by the dmctl -s DFM invoke ICF_TopologyManager::ICF-TopologyManager discoverAll command, but with no success.
I am setting up my 2nd 1811 router for NAT and VPN. The 1st 1811 works great, completed a few months ago. On this 2nd 1811, I decided to just copy the working startup-config from the good, 1st router to this 2nd, and then change IPs and from there. I did not do the setup wizard, but just erased the startup-config, reloaded, gave temp IP on local LAN and copied good startup-config from TFTP server.
Question: on this 2nd 1811, I show this:
mmi polling-interval 60 no mmi auto-configure no mmi pvc mmi snmp-timeout 180 no ip subnet-zero
I do not have this on the 1st, and I cannot get rid of it. Is this due to IOS versions?
