Cisco Switching/Routing :: 7604 - 4 Orange Lights On Supervisor
Sep 2, 2012
I was called into a company today to look at their Cisco 7604 router as it had stopped working. The supervisor has all it LED in orange state, there was no blinking of the lights at power on they went straight to orange. Tried removing all cards, having only supervisor card in, etc but always the orange lights.
I noticed on my new cisco 2960s switches, that all the lights went orange for about 10 seconds then went off again, this was during normal operation, all ports were shutdown at the time apart from a few,the ones that were enabled, the led's went off.
I have a Cisco E4200 router connected behind my Comcast cable modem.
The small LED lights located at each network cable plug-in on my router are continually blinking orange all at the same time over and over.
I also notice on all my computers that are wired to this router the small LED lights near the network card plug-in are also blinking orange.
what these orange lights mean and if I have a problem?
My internet service seems to work OK but I'm not sure what is causing all these orange LED's to blink and is there something wrong that imay be slowing my system down.
I have upgraded my Cisco router to the latest firmware and also power reset my cable modem and router several times with no change in the problem.
We recently had a big storm and lost internet connection to our house. Whilst internet connection has since been restored I've noticed that there are now orange lights above the port where the ethernet cable connected to on our notebook. I also cannot get internet connection using the ethernet cable. Does this mean my internal modem has blown? I can use the wireless modem with no problems.
If the modem has blown, how much are they usually to replace and is it relatively easy? I have a Inspiron 1525 Notebook.
I am having a problem with PBR done on a 7604-S router - It seems like it is not done in harware. I have an Iperf client and an Iperf server, and would like to test the performance of 7600 router for PBR, supervisor is RSP720-3C-G and used interface card is 7600-ES20-GE3C ESM20G.
I have read numerous discussions about PBR that is supposed to happen in hardware when you use it with matching access-list and set ip next-hop.Although, when I start the iperf, the 7600 cpu is hitting the 80-90 % boundary, and transfer bandwidth can't go over 120-130 Mbit/s.The IP Policy is applied on an interface part of vrf ONE maybe this is casing the problem... ?
The diagram and configuration follows: Configuration:
c7604#sh run boot system flash disk0:c7600rsp72043-advipservicesk9-mz.122-33.SRE2.bin ! ip vrf one [Code]...
i have 2 cisco 7604 distrubution routers .Both routers are running 310 hsrp groups.
Sundenly there is hsrp flapping which causes high CPU.
What is the limitation of HSRP group on cisco 7604 router .Below is the show ver from the router
----------------- show version ------------------ Cisco IOS Software, c7600rsp72043_rp Software (c7600rsp72043_rp-ADVIPSERVICES-M), Version 12.2(33)SRC2, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2)
i read alot about password recovery , but when i apply it to cisco 7604 it fails ?i went to rommon mode and typed# confreg 0x2142 then i typed reset when the router startup it request a password form me ,i can enter the user mode , and when i type sh ver command i note that the config resgitser is 0x2102 , not 0x2142 !!!!
i could enter the privilage mode !!!! and seems no thing changed ! does this router has a specific password recovery procedure ? which differes than the classic procedure?
i have the topology :=========want to mention that im using port address translation on the router & not sure if it is making a conflict .
here is the config below :
why the cache is not working ?i mean that i tried going to internet with source ips of the subnet 10.20.30 , but i seems went to internet without any precedence of cahce server
I am having 2950 Cisco switch. After completing the boot process LAN Ports are working for few minutes afterwards Ports are going into Orange Signal Mode.
we've had an issue with our network, we have 2 6509 connected with redundancy, which are connected with 2 x 4900 Switches, from which are connected to a ESX Chassis for visualization, the thing is that the ESX stopped working, and the 4900 switches, and the main core were suffering from overload, they hang on it very well, in order to stop the overload, one of the links to the ESX Chassis were disconnected from one of the 4900 switches. The CPU usage from the 4900 and the core(6509) went down below 40%, and then they started to migrate the virtual servers from the chassis to another 2 chassis that were added right after. They were actually working well, but suddenly the 6509 changed to the other supervisor after everything was OK. We were wondering what could have been the cause of this, maybe the virtual servers migrations, maybe the overload from the ESX ? We also had a few question, is there any need to reload the cores every few months as a planned task ? Because the cores have been up for more than 1 year. And also is there any kind of of tool to monitor the CPU status, or the status overall from the cores or the switches ?
I have a brand new 3650x switch that I was configuring via console and left it on overnight; this was friday night ( I forgot to keep the air conditioner on). When I returned Sunday afternoon and checked the switch I realized that the SYS and STAT lights on the front were not on, however the Leds on the PS module were still on. I powered it down and turn it on again but still there are no lights on the front. The PS OK and AC OK leds on the PS module are on but I noticed the leds on the two fan modules are not green or even amber; they are off.When I first turned on the switch I remembered distinctly that there were loud noice and if all fans were in overdrive mode for a few seconds then the went to normal. I'm not gettgin this loud noise phenomenom.
I have a Cisco catalyst switch 3750G has all LED lights staying amber still without blinking, I cannot console into it and it can’t boot past the POST.
THE ISSUE HAPPENED ON THE NETWORK AND IT WAS ISOLATED FROM THE NETWORK, SO NOW I AM TRYING TO RESOLVE IT OUTSIDE THE NETWORK
We recently installed 15 of these switches, and we're having a few odd, random network issues. But before I enumerate those issues, I have a simple question: are the connection lights on these switches *supposed* to blink rapidly? Or are they supposed to blink *normally*?On all other switches I've ever seen / worked on / worked around, when a cable is plugged into a port, the connection lights blink upon network activity. sometimes they blink a little faster when there's lots of activity, but mostly it's an almost lazy, random kind of blinking. When you look at a switch and every light on every port that's connected is blinking very rapidly, your first instinct is "No *wonder* nothing works around here!" and you find the port that's chattering and unplug it...all the blinkies go back to normal.Well, on the 15 switches we've installed, every light that's on blinks rapidly, as if there's an uncontrolled storm going on. Is that the "new norm"? Did I miss the memo, and there is nothing to be worried about here? Or are the rapidly blinking lights telling me there is, indeed, a problem?
I have installed and configured 2 new WS-3750E-24TD in the last 30 days, that have software version 12.5(50)SE2-universalk9, on our flat Development LAN (currently 7 existing WS-3750E-24TD with 12.5(35)SE2-universal)The new switches have shutdown, 1 has shutdown twice and I just had the other one shutdown on the weekend, all the status lights on the left are lit up but no port lights are on, I am not able to console in to the switch all I can do is cycle power. I am planning on upgrading all switches to the latest software release universalk9-mz.150-1SE
could this problem be a version incompatibillity between the switches?
i have a standalone SUP720, no traffic is passing through it. only one port connected for remote telnet, its kind of backup device.today i checked its log, and there are some wiered message.is it a software bug or my SUP has gone bad? [code]
We've been mocking up a test lab to test VSS on two 6500's. Each 6500 has one sup720 and a 6708-10ge blade and we've established the two 10ge links between the two chassis; the first from the each chassis' sup and the second from each 6708.My question is, what happens when the supervisor fails on one of the chassis?
How the port numbering would be on Sup 7-E and Sup 7L-E? I mean, on Sup-6E and Sup-6LE, if I used a twin-gig converter, I used ports gi3/3,gi3/4,gi3/5 and Gi3/6 [If the sup is in 3rd Slot]. I know there are now 4 ports on the Sup 7 which can either be used as Gig ports or TenGig ports. So, how will the port numbering change ?
I have a 4510R-E chassis which currently has a single supervisor 5 installed.
We are now looking at upgrading the supervisor to a Sup6. Now the question is this, can I install the Sup6 into the redundant cpu slot and then perform a failover to get the new switch working without any noticable downtime.
I'm not sure what having a Sup V and a Sup 6 in at the same time will do to the backplane.
Otherwise I have to take the switch down and then install the card and software manually.
We have a scenario with 2 chassis, both with 2 supervisor Engine 2T, we try to make a configuration of VSS with the chassis and would link to know if is possible have 2 supervisor on chassis one and 2 supervisors on chassis 2 with VSS?
Router#sho switch virtual redundancy My Switch Id = 1 Peer Switch Id = 2 Last switchover reason = active unit removed Configured Redundancy Mode = sso Operating Redundancy Mode = sso
[code]....
would like to use the second supervisors for obteind the local redundancy en chassis 1 and 2, this is possible?
the actually version on four supervisors is: s2t54-ipservicesk9-mz.SPA.150-1.SY3.bin
I'm having a trouble with a 4510R+E switch. The WS-X45-SUP7-E supervisors are constantly rebooting, and we can see a 'critical software exception reload' reason. We have checked the logs
______ uptime is 5 weeks, 1 day, 19 hours, 3 minutes Uptime for this control processor is 37 minutes System returned to ROM by reload
[Code]....
What can we do to solve this incident?. Everything was working fine, and suddently the problem arose.
I am trying to understand the implicit limit to the priority queue. I know you can define an explicit policer but if you don't I can't find out what the rate limit really is.
I'm working on deploying a new 4510R+E for our organization. This is my first experience with a modular switch. I'm trying to enable SSO, however in the redundancy configuration mode, the sso command is not available. Is SSO only available with certain software images / licensing levels? [code]
We are trying to upgrade the IOS on one of our 6509 switches. We have two 720 10GE supervisors running in SSO. Our procedure is reload the standby supervisor with the new IOS. We understand that you can only use one console connection when in RPR mode so we rely on the active supervisor giving us information that the standby unit is up and running.
The problem we have is that when we do a "show Module" on the switch the online diagnostics for the standby supervisor comes back us unknown. [code] We believe the active supervisor can see the standby supervisor because when we save the configuration we get a message saying that the config is sync'd with the standby router. We have a TAC case raised to investigate. We are upgrading from 12.2(33) SXI1 to 12.2(33) SXJ3
I have a 3750-48P when plugged in has fans that spin up, but no lights on the front of the chassis. Does this mean the power supply is bad? If its bad, why do the fans power up? Also, i am not receiving any data through the console.
I have a Sup32 that I suspect has faulty NVRAM (e.g., I am unable to "wr mem" on the device - it states resource is busy but no other active connections exist). Prior to replacing the supervisor engine I'd like to take a crack at formatting NVRAM to see if it resolves the issue. This supervisor does not have a CF card installed, thus no Disk0:. Within the CLI, I am presented two options with the "format" command - bootflash: and sup-bootflash:. Bootflash: does not have any data on it, however, sup-bootflash: contains my IOS image. I believe that both of these locations are simply directories within NVRAM.
I have configured the VSS in two cisco 6509-E series with only one supervisor engine, but if i configured with two supervisor engine. it is going to common mode. One supervisor engine is 3c and 3cxl.
I have an older 4006 with a Supervisor II+. We now need OSPF support, which the Sup II+ does not provide. I have access to a Supervisor III (WS-X4014), which will provide OSPF support. Question is, are there any gotchas to shutting down the switch, replacing Supervisor Engines and then powering up? What about the flash card? On my current system, it appears that I am only using bootflash: , which is where the IOS resides (see below). Since my startup config is in nvram and my IOS is in bootflash, what's the purpose of the flash card in slot0: ? and where does NVRAM and bootflash actually live on a 4006 ( on the Supervisor Engine?)
sh bootvar BOOT variable = bootflash:cat4500-ipbase-mz.122-31.SGA11.bin,1;,1; CONFIG_FILE variable does not exist BOOTLDR variable does not exist
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.
