Cisco Switching/Routing :: C2960 Switch Post Failure
Apr 23, 2013
I have a C2960-24TT-L Switch with the following problem:When the Power Cord is plugged in the Switch, all switch indicator LEDs go on very briefly. Then SYST LED blinks very briefly, goes on steady and remains at this state without any indication at the console.Tried the reset by holding the MODE button while plugging in power but I still get no indication at the console. All is fine with console, meaning that if I take out the cable and plug it in another switch, then I see all that there is there to be seen.My question: Is the switch beyond repair or is there something that can be done to get the switch to run POST and boot at rommon so that I can reload SW and configs?

I have 2 - WS-C2960-24TT-L switches. Both are experiencing the same issue. Upon booting them up, all lights flash on the mode indicator panel, then it goes directly to a solid green "SYST" light. Nothing registers across the console cable. I have tried different baud rates, cables and computers. None of the ports come up regardless of how long either switch is powered on. Holding the Mode button during boot up produces the same result, nothing. Sounds like they are dead, however, I thought this would be the place to go for ideas. Can I revive these switches?

I've got a C2960 (sw01) and a C2948. (sw02) The sw02 switch is trunked with sw01, and is meant to serve as an extension to the VLANs (1-4) that exist on sw01. It is trunking properly, however, how would I go about giving the sw02 an IP so that I can access it via SSH? Would I have to create a VLAN specifically on sw02 with an ip and switchport an interface to use it? I know that a VLAN can only have a single IP, but I'd like sw02 to have an IP on VLAN1 (192.168.1.0 subnet), is that possible?

Is it possible to configure both Catalyst WS-C2960-24PC-L and Switch Cisco SG300-28 to work together for VLANs for voice and data ? If yes, can you give me the resources which I can refer to ?

I upgraded the newest IOS 15.0(1)SE for our SW C2960-24-TT-L, the process was succeseful. However, we found SW memory utilization raised to 82% this morning in normal situation. (Momery: Total 21341260, Used17471692) Did you guys meet the same problem after upgrading to 15.0(1)SE? I also would like to know what the normal memory utilization is? and what is the impact of memory utilization highly?

in a customer project we are evaluating if it's possible to connect from cisco ios switches via "ssh -l <user> <ip address>" to an enterasys n series dfe modul which is running a ssh server v2.
Unfortunately this doesn't work as expected, every connection attempt is resetted.We did a trace of the ssh connection attempt where you can see that there is some problem in the algorithm negotiation (see attachment).
Equipment/OS:
- Cisco IOS Software, C2960 Software (C2960-LANBASEK9-M), Version 12.2(44)SE1
- Enterasys 7H4382-49, Fw: 05.42.10

One of my customer had a problem with A/C and the room temperature reached almost 50 C. We came to the site and saved the configuration, took a backup and shutdown the switch.
After the A/C problem is resolved, we tried to power-on the switch .. and we found that it is going to the rommon.
I put "boot" command to boot from the bootdisk, but I am getting the following error:
Code...
I tried to search it, But it is resulting in that most probably it is a hardware failure on the SUP.

The Catalyst 3750 switch reboots, and the " Reloading because of stack merge or communication failure" error message appears.
I saw this issue at "Cisco wiki" but the resolution in that page is just "Open a case with TAC". Because of the reasion is H/W Problem.
Is The resolution only one ? anything else? The 3750 does not use Stack.It is just stand alone. So i think it has other resolution as "disabling Stack" or another one. How about my opinion ? Is the Resolution only "Open a Case with TAC"

I have a Cisco CBS3020-HPQ chassis switch running IOS 12.2.(25r)SEF3. One of the ports is in "disabled" state but when I try to unshut it, it doesn't work, the switch logs shows the following event:
%PLATFORM_ENV-3-LOOPBACK_PORT_POST_ERR: Gi0/1 can't be brought up because it failed POST in Loopback test
how do I resolve this, the port is unusable since I can not get it out "disabled" state.

I pulled a brand new Cisco 3850 Switch out of the box yesterday. Following the Quick Start Guide, I put in the power module, powered it on, and waited for it to complete POST. Then, I plugged in an Ethernet cable between a laptop and the switch on a port in the front, and went to the web interface at https://10.0.0.1. I got to the Express Setup, and attempted to change the IP address of the switch to an IP on my LAN, along with other options. When clicking submit, it didn't appear to take. Upon refreshing in the Express Setup, the IP config was blank, so I once again configured it. This time clicking submit brought up a message that it was changing the IP address. I waited for it to finish, and when it looked done, I powered the switch off and took it to a different room to hook it up to the LAN for further configuration.
When plugging in the power at that point, the switch starts through the normal light process (System LED blinks green slowly), and then eventually the System LED blinks green very fast and never stops. It doesn't get to the point of having the system loaded and ready to log into. There's no amber lights, just the System LED flashing green fast. On the back, the Power module and all bay lights are green, and the Console light is green, but the Management port light is off.
I've tried using the reset button on the back of the switch two different times to reset it to default configuration, thinking I hosed it somehow, but it never goes past the fast blinking System LED.

We have a customer who uses about 20 x c2960's switches for access layer and 2 x c3560e for distribution layer. C2960's uses C2960-LANLITEK9-M , Version 12.2(58)SE1. Everything was working fine. Now we got information, that sometimes there are problems with connectivity. Customer tries to reach internet.

I am trying to configure RSPAN for one of my client. They have Server-Client VTP architecture. Voice Recording Server is connected to C4507. Agents are connected to C2960 and C3750. I got 2 sessions configured and the connectivity is a as follows:
1. Voice Recording Server-----C4507-----C2960-----C2960-----Agent IP Phones (Session 1)
2. Voice Recording Server-----C4507-----C3750-----Agent IP Phones (Session 2)
Recording works with Session-2 but not with Session-1. I understand the problem could be due to multiple reasons: 1.1. C2960 is working in client VTP mode so i cannot add remote span command under the vlan configuration. 1.2. C2960 has LANLITE IOS image which i am not sure if it supports Remote Span.

I have two WS-C2960-24TC-L Switch with Software Ver 12.2(25r)SEE6 with image c2960-lanbase-mz.122-35.SE5.bin and 12.2(25r)SEE1 with image c2960-lanbase-mz.122-25.SEE2.bin currently on it.
I want to enable SSH connections on the switches and believe I need to import the cryto image onto the switch. I would like to upgrade it to new version that can also support ssh connection but not sure which image to download from cisco. The switches are now live.
System image file is "flash:c2960-lanbase-mz.122-35.SE5/c2960-lanbase-mz.122-35.SE5.bin"

I am not sure why the CRC and input errors are increasing in fastethernet port...This port is used as Intradomain cross connect to Data Center service provider for LAN extension between two Data Centers in different locations... The link is 100 MB. The switch port is directly connected to patch panel of DC provider and I believe they have some L3 switch or some other device that is providing LAN extension...

I am trying to configure a 3750G that has been sitting on the shelf for several months and am getting the following error -
% Error: Unable to create flash:/microcode_update% Error: It must not already exist
Normally, getting an error during POST isnt a good thing. My first thought was that flash was corrupted or flagged RO somehow. I did fsck flash: with no change. I next tried fsck /test flash:. It tested 77 blocks and performed 0 erasures. It had been running for about 15 minutes with no problems reported so far. Multiple reboots of the switch still report the same error.
I have reviewed the history of what I have done on this switch and finally think I found the problem. I noticed a microcode_update directory that I am not used to see on a 3750. Deleted the directory using the rmdir command and rebooted the switch. On reboot, I noticed that a front_end/ directory was listed as being created as well as fe_type_1 and fe_type_2 were created. The switch now boots up without any errors.

We just purchased (3) WS-C2960-24CT-S and (1) 3750G, what's the proper way to cascade this switches? Do I need to use crossover cables from port to port? Do I need to change the mode for the ports to use?

Yesterday I tried to install c2960-lanbasek9.mz.12.55.SE4.bin onto my router. When I changed the boot commands, I did not leave the 2nd option in there and the old firmware has an .ex3 extension. After trying to boot to this new image, we receive a looping error message that continues to reboot and go through the same process.Basically the error is "ERROR: firmware not supported by hardware"I have power cycled it a few times but durning bootup, I never see the ################## which would allow me to BREAK sequence and get into rommon. The device simply waits about 30-40 seconds after boot and goes right back to the looping reboot sequence and the error message. Is there any hyper term or putty settings to change on this?

I'm trying to configure the GigabitEthernet interface of the WS-C2960 switch to have a full duplex. Unfortunately, there is no option to configure this neither is the speed of that interface. But these options are present in FastEthernet ports. Is there a bug in SW version 12.2(35)SE5 that explains this abnormality?

I have an inquiry about a configuration I deploy in a C2960 switch. I have configured a ether channel with 8 ports, the load balanced method is source mac address. The bundling protocol is LACP.
I have found the ether channel is not balanced as I expect. One of the eight interfaces is congested.

Customer has a Catalyst WS-C2960-48PST-L. and in some ports we have VoIP phones with PoE company Aastra. If I use first config we have problem when phone boot up.
First config:
description tp-11-voip
switchport access vlan 250
switchport mode access
switchport voice vlan 201
switchport port-security maximum 2
switchport port-security(code )
The MAC shown here is from a voip Phone. After the phone boot up, the p, because it must boot first in vlan 250 (access vlan). On the port you can only see the MAC from vlan 201. With the second config the phone can boot without problems:
interface FastEthernet0/48
description tp-11-voip
switchport access vlan 250
switchport mode access
switchport voice vlan 201
is there a reason, why it is the problem with the first config on cat2960 ? The same first config works with an Cat2950 without problems.

Switch A is: WS-C2960-48TC-S
Switch B is: SG 300-10MP
Neither switch supports a similiar transceiver module. We are looking at transceiver GLC-SX-MM for Switch A, and MGBSX1 for Switch B all the Layer-1 information (SX / wavelength, Multi Mode, etc.) I am able to find out about the two transceivers seems to match, so would there be any issue by having these 2 "different" transceivers at either end?

A quick one because I'm scratching my head trying to figure the difference between the 2960 LAN Base and LAN Lite IOS installs. I want to put a 2960 into a site which has as layer 2 link on dark fiber taking it elsewhere. This part I'm not concerned about - the WS-C2960--24TC will do what I need without issue - but I don't know if I can get away with LAN Lite, or if I need LAN Base.
I basically need V LAN's with associated SVI's, and a routed link on the up link port (I don't care if it's a switch port with an associated SVI or a no switch port and IP address), but it's got to be able to run OSPF. Can I do this with LAN base on this series switch? Or do I need to go for a higher series (3560?). I *could* get away with static routes, but my boss is walking death on them unless I can 100% prove they're necessary, so I'd rather not right that fight!
