Cisco Switching/Routing :: Browser Access To Switch Fails (Catalyst 2960G)
Jul 4, 2012
I am unable to access a series of switches connected together through a management vlan. I receive the message "The server xx.xx.xx.xx at level_15_access requires a username and password." Entering the username and password fails and the same username and password message returns. I am able to ssh into the switch with the username and password that fails trying to access the switch with the browser.
How can I check the username and password for access with the browser?
I am trying to monitor switch performance. Is there a good way to monitor switch performance with the command line interface?

I upgraded a Catalyst 2950 switch and there wasn't enough room so I deleted the flash. The upgraded went well using tftp. It booted up fine. The I0S version includes crypto. But, I can't access switch via web browser or CNA. Port scan shows port 80 0pen. What am I missing?
Here is the flash.

I have got a catalyst cisco 2960G series switch and via this switch I want to creat serveral vlans. I am getting a dhcp IP from a router and I want to setup my own vlan networks.
I plugged in the Ethernet cable that came from the dhcp router to port 16 of the cisco switch and configured the ports 1,2 and 3 for vlan 1, 2 and 3
the dhcp router has given me this IP 192.168.10.158 defautl gateway is : 192.168.10.1
when I plug in a PC to port 1 or 2 of the cisco switch I still receiving the IP from range 192.168.10.* but not from the range that I configured for the vlan 1 or 2.
Below is my startup configuration:
no file verify auto
spanning-tree mode pvst
spanning-tree extend system-id

I have a few 24-port Cisco 2960G Switches (model WS-C2960G-24TC-L) that I upgraded to IOS Release 15.0(1)SE2 using the web interface. I am now trying to upgrade those switches with the new release, 15.0(1)SE3, however I seem unable to do it, I have tried this on two switches so far, both have been upgraded to SE2 just a couple months ago or so, and both of them will not accept the SE3 upgrade, basically, I can select the tar file in the web browser and click "Upgrade" but when I do the status never changes from "Loading the tar file to the switch". I have tried multiple times from multiple computers using many different web browsers, including IE6 which is listed as supported. I have let it go for as long as 1.5 hours but to no avail.I also had a few idential switches here that had never been upgarded to SE2, I have had no problems loading SE3 onto them using the same method so it would seem that the tar file I have downloaded is valid.

I recently changed jobs and at the new location we are primarily running Catalyst 2960G series switches with the exception of one 3750. All of the switches are setup in a cluster with the 3750 being the cluster master. My question is what is the benefit of switch clustering? The entire network seems to be a bit over engineered for the our needs and I am hoping to scale it back a bit. For example, the the network was setup with VOIP QoS when there were no plans to even use VOIP. Also what procedures would I want to follow to disable the cluster to avoid any major outages? Assuming there is no real need for a cluster.

I'm trying to decide what switch to use as a core for 500 users. I'm currently looking at either 2 x 3750X stacks or 2 x 4500s with dual SUPs and PSUs, both options will provide the number of switchports required without the need for additonal access layer swiches. Which switch option is best to go for here? All of our services will be located in our data centre which will be connected using 2 1000Mbps MPLS circuits. I wont need any advanced L3 features and we are not likley to scale over 450 users. Also is it ok to use the dual switch stacks or chassis to provide the collapsed core/access layer or is it best to have a dedicated core (using one of the above options with less switchports) and having a dedicated accesss layer using 2960Gs for example. Our structured cabling terminates in a single comms room so we wont need to distribute switches throughout the office.

i had made a software upgarde on the switch 2960G series have no any passwords, when I fished the upgrade process after rebooting the device i found it need a UserPw to access device manager. i tried to use the default PW "cisco" but it dosen't work too.. after that i tried the password recovery process to rest the PW, but noway, but now i have addition problem, when i try the cmd orders "flash_init , load_helper , dir flash" to beginning the password recovery process it shows the following:
The system has been interrupted prior to initializing theflash filesystem. The following commands will initializethe flash filesystem, and finish loading the operatingsystem software:

After that the problem updated
because I tried to install the IOS by Xmodem to reload the missing flash file.After finsh the TAR file loading and reboot the switch.......the LEDs of mode and Giga ports are lighted amber and not blinking, i tried many times to follow the steps to connect the switch by the emulator and consol cable by holding mode button and connecting the power cable at same time the device does not work, the switch now still not blinking, now i try to read and understand how can i remove the corrupted files and install a new IOS for this switch?What shall i do.

I have used all the ports on my 24 port 2960G and need to extend it with another 2960G. These switches do not have trunk ports so what is the best way to stack them and have all 5 vlans on both switches.Can I just use a port Channel trunk etherchannel ?

I have a requirement to monitor downstream data feed from a remote site and feed it to multiple destination devices for recording. The source data will be fed into a port on a Cisco 2960G switch then, using the monitor function, be forwarded to multiple interfaces. This works fine for normal Etherent II traffic. We tried a test using a device that generates IEEE 802.3 Raw packets ('type' field is used as a 'length' field) but found that while the traffic appeared to be accepted by the input port with no errors it was not forwarded to the destination ports, even when using the monitor function. I did try the 'encapsulation replicate' feature with no luck. It does not forward these packets even if I set all the ports into a common VLAN and let the switch just perform a normal switch function (non monitor).
if it is possible to get the IEEE 802.3 raw packets to pass through the switch and if it is, how to or what I need to do to make it work?

I just got a Cisco 2960G 24-port gigabit switch so that our HP servers can have a Gigabit connection to the network. I moved 2 servers to it (HP Proliant DL380's) but they don't actually seem to be able to achieve even close to 1000Gbps. I ran same some LAN bandwidth tests and it was showing only around 200-300 Mbps between all of them. I also ran a network stress test utility, LAN Tornado, and it was showing packet loss as high as 60% when on gigabit, and only .07% when on 100Mbps.
-Both the NIC's and the switch ports are set to 1000/Full
-Currently using Cat5e cabling no more than 25Ft in length (I know Cat6 would be better but Cat5e is supposed to support Gigabit)
-All servers are on the same VLAN
Here are the port statistics when running just a stress test @ 10Mbps that had a 45% packet loss. What's odd though is when I set the servers and switches to 100Mbps, I get less than 1% packet loss.
GigabitEthernet1/0/16 is up, line protocol is up (connected)
Hardware is Gigabit Ethernet, address is 203a.07ff.7e90 (bia 203a.07ff.7e90)

I have a Cisco 2960S stack and I'd like to tune the timers so that packet loss is minimal if a switch fails.To simulate a failed switch I have reloaded it while running a continuous ping to a management address on the stack's SVI: [code] As I see the same results when a ping is directed through the single switch (switched), and through the firewall (routed), I'm inclined to think that this is due to the stack failover timers on the Catalyst 2960S.Is it possible to change the stack failover timers (i.e hold down, failover etc), to speed up the failover process?

I have a stack of 4 Cisco Switch 3750 (1 x WS-C3750G-24T, 2 x WS-C3750-48P and 1 x WS-C3750V2-48PS) and I want to do an firmware upgrade of this stack. Actually, all the 4 switches are at the firmware version 12.2(50) SE1 "IPBase" and I want to upgrade them to 12.2(55)SE5 IPBase. According to the release notes, all the switches in my stack are supported.
To upgrade the firmware, I use the command "archive download-sw /imageonly /overwrite tftp://IP_Address/c3750-ipbaselmk9-tar.122-55.SE5.tar" The firmware gets uploaded correctly but then I get the error message "There is insufficient space in flash: to install the required image. Clean up some old images, and try again."
When I do a "show flash", I see that the switch has 5650944 bytes free of 15998976 bytes.
How can i upgrade my switches? Is there an error in my command which I use? Do I need to add an other option?
The problem is, the switches are located in a branch office and there is no direct access to them. Everything must be done remotely.

I have routing enabled, can build a static route, and go back and see it (sh ip route), but I don't know how to get the route right. I have one host (Host A) on Vlan 20 w/192.168.20.2/24 dg 192.168.20.11 (the vlan ip) and (Host B) on Vlan 30 w/192.168.30.2/24 dg 192.168.30.11 (the vlan ip). I can't ping them from any host man. I can ping the Vlans but not the host.

I have been looking into this for a while and I can't seem to figure out why my 2nd vlan is not able to connect properly to the net.
My switch has 12 ports where my devices connects directly, they are all on Vlan 1 and they all work perfectly. on Port 12 I have a dlink router that is connected to a cable modem. the dlink router has an Ip address of 192.168.0.20
I created a second vlan (vlan2) and enabled dhcp relay on it. then I assigned port 9 on the switch to (vlan2)my laptop which is connected to port 9 seems to get an ip address fine and able to ping only some devices on my network (vlan1) and is not able to go out to the internet. I think it has to do with the routes. [code]

I can use Putty to SSH into my new switch (Directly connected to my laptop with ethernet cable), but I cant log into my switch.

It doesnt like my password, but I have only set 1 password (king) on this switch. I've configured 3 other switches with SSH and had no problem. Been trouble shooting for awhile and It'd be great if I could have a 2nd set of eyes take a peek, Also, my running config is attached.

I had an old Cisco Catalyst 2948G switch that I have not used in about 7 years down in my basement. I powered it on and went through the process of clearing out the configurations, and I got to a point where one of the commands to clear out the config asked me to install jumpers for "ROM" and "ERASE". There is a third jumper labeled "NO BOOT". They are numbered J6, J7, & J8 respectivelyI found the jumpers inside and put the jumpers on them and ran the command expecting it to remove any old configurations I had on the switch and bring it back to factory state, but I was wrong.

I am using a catalyst 2970 switch for 2 vlans. Corporate data and a separate VLAN for backups. What I want to do is create an LACP etherchannel to the switch and also trunk these ports so the server is part of both VLANS.Due to fact that some of these servers are on totally separated networks, they really shouldn't be able to talk to the backup server. Creating the VLAN for backups works to achieve this. I plan to create inbound ACLs on each port to allow only the ports and IPs for the backup network and allow everything we need for corporate data.I read somewhere that you can't have ACLs on an etherchannel and I just want to get it all straightened out. I notice I can't add an access group to the port-channel itself but I can on the port- channel member ports. Is this all I need to do or does this not work?

There are green LEDs lit next to the jumpers inside, but that is all. I am not able to get any response from it on the console at all anymore.The LEDs that are lit green inside are labeled "CR5" and CR6".

I have inhereted a network in a school that is using a Cisco Catalyst 500 series switch. Previously, it appears that this switch was never managed (just plugged in and using it's default configuration). I am trying to change that and be able to control the switch using the Network Assistant or just the web-based device manager. I understand that you cannot perform the initial configuration with anything past Windows XP, because the broadcast flag setting past XP causes an issue where the IP address of the management computer is assigned but not the default gateway. Despite this, I am still unable to connect to the switch for management purposes. Here is a list of the steps I have taken, all of which have been unsuccessful:
1) I tried using a computer running Windows XP. The same issue occurred. It was assigned an IP address from the switch but did not get a default gateway. It was unable to access what should have been the default IP of the switch; 169.254.0.1
2) I tried it in Windows Vista by editing the registry to turn broadcasting off. It still did not work.
3) I tried it in Windows 7. Still no luck.
4) In all 3 operating systems, I tried using the "Advanced" setting in the TCP/IP configuration to add a default gateway of 169.254.0.1 to no avail.

is it possible to run a Catalyst 4500 as pure Layer 2 Switch, i.e. disabling "ip routing", but still managing the switch via Fa1, i.e. the defautl mgmtVrf vrf ?I tried the following:
!
no ip routing
!
interface FastEthernet1
ip vrf forwarding mgmtVrf
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
!
ip route vrf mgmtVrf 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.254
ip default-gateway 192.168.1.254
I was not able to reach the Switch even from the same subnet. Only after enabling ip routing I could manage the Switch. I haven't found any command to set ip default-gateway for a vrf. Any workaround to keep routing disabled, but still manageable via VRF?

Currently we have cisco 4503 switch in one of our location without redundancy which servers below,
300 user (desktop & ip phones)
5 vlans
15 access switches are connected
one L3 connectivity.
Actually i want to understand is it really necessary to have 4503 or we can go for 4900 series as we are planning to have redundancy in distribution segment.
Which is the best L3 switch in the above scenario and how to measure the overall performance of the current 4503 switch...
