Cisco Switching/Routing :: C2960S - 12.2(58)SE Crash On SSH
Apr 13, 2011
I just upgraded several of my C2960S-48FPD-L from 12.2(55)SE to 12.2(58)SE and now almost every time I try to SSH to it the switch reboots and gives me these trace backs ...
07:58:52 CST Thu Apr 14 2011: Unexpected exception to CPU vector 200, PC = 1EADA28

I am looking for a reasonable switch but it has do do inter-VLAN Routing. I know I could go with a 3560/3750 with IP Services but I am also thinking the 2960S with IP Base IOS might do?
I have looked up the IP Base IOS and it does list IP Routing but how to actually configure inter-VLAN Routing on a 2960S with IP Base?
We have several of these WS-C2960S-24PS-L running 12.2(55)SE5 C2960S-universalK9-M and need to upgrade to a better.IOS since we have a sitution where CPU would get to 100% but we have only a few ports connected.Also we have several of WS-C3750-48P running 12.2(55) SE6 C3750-IPBASEK9-M.
We have a 2960 stack of 4 WS-C2960S-24PS-L switches.Sometimes, at random, the stack crashes and reboots. I have downloaded the crashinfo file and can see the following error.
I'm trying to configure a stack between two WS-C2960S-48FPS-L but does not working.The switch port is always Down.I tried to change de module and cables.I tried to make a loop in one of two switches and the ports always down.
IOS: 12.2(55)SE5 #show switch stack-ports Switch # Port 1 Port 2 -------- ------ ------ 1 Down Down
We have two switches WS-C2960S-24TS-L running in stack with running IOS c2960s-universalk9-mz.122-55.SE3.We have connected two checkpoint devices on Gi1/0/24 and Gi2/0/24 with a simple configuration:
interface range GigabitEthernet1/0/24, gi2/0/24 switchport access vlan x switchport mode access spanning-tree portfast
On the devices log we get the following message:
%SW_MATM-4-MACFLAP_NOTIF: Host 0000.0000.fe21 in vlan x is flapping between port Gi2/0/24 and port Gi1/0/24
The mac-address 0000.0000.fe21 is not found on any checkpoint interface. "Show mac-address int gi1/0/24 or gi2/0/24" does not show the correct mac-address of the checkpoint interface connected to the port, but instead shows 0000.0000.fe21.Is there a bug in the IOS, something wrong with the switch config or does it have something to do with the checkpoint config?
I have a customer with a stack of two switches C2960S-24TS-L that are running 12.2(58)SE2 universal K9, we see that the CPU load increase over time, to 95% and stays there reload solves the problem.the process that akes a lot of CPU is also the SNMP ENGINE, I see that it is running 30 minutes on 95% and then 10 minutes on 35%, this is the only stack were we see this problem. Is there also a SNMP bug in this version ?
Does GLC-GE-100FX is supported on the WS-C2960S-24TD-L. I don't see this switch listed under the compatibility matrix.URL
But the datasheet for the 2960S says this:
"The Cisco Catalyst 2960-S with SFP+ does not support the GLC-FE-100BX, GLC-FE-100FX, or GLC-FE-100LX." But it provides no reference for the GLC-GE-100FX The easy answer is, no the 2960S-24TD doesn't support it, any clarification if possible.
I have a very simple setup containing 3 C2960S switches:switch 1: central switch, acting as router between VLAN 1 en VLAN 2switch 2+3: edge switches, connected via 1 link to central switch, both on VLAN 2,Clients connect to switch 2 and 3 using dhcp, switch 1 uses dhcp relay to forward requests from VLAN 2 to the dhcp server on VLAN 1. So far so good.Now I want switch 1 to add option 82 to the dhcp requests so the dhcp server can see whether the request came through switch 2 or switch 3. I tried turning on dhcp option 82 support on switch 1 by doing.
Switches B and C flow into A before continuing on into the server room switch (distance issues).All three switches are configured for ports 21-24 at 1000 and set as cisco switches. all other ports are undefined as they have a myriad of desktops, printers and non cisco access points flowing into them. side question - should i configure them as access points where applicable even if they are non cisco? I am replacing three netgear switches that currently are in place and have no known issues other than they are old and the fans may fail soon.hooked up .217. was able to get to it from the network. Hooked up 215 and then 216. All the sudden I lost the ability to tap into the switches, any of them. (I think I had done 215 at that point too, before adding 216. I found out later it took the network to its knees as internet was lost, and the MPLS stopped functioning.
I undid the changes and put the netgears back in service and all was right with the world again. At first I thought it was a bad host name as I had used whse-a on switch C in error. I changed that after this issue.Later that day I put 215 in place. checked it from the network and could get to it just fine. Then I put 216 in service. I lost connection to 215. I could no longer get to the internet from my pc and the MPLS went down again. This time I just unhooked 216. 215 is still in place and working on the network at the moment and not causing issues. (btw these switches are not even in my path from my pc to the internet, just on the same network) tomorrow I am going to try 217 again while 215 is still on the network and see if there are any issues adding that swtich. if I can do so, and there are no problems, is this an indication of a faulty switch? what further testing can I do, have I missed something in setup? If this brings the network down again, why cant i add two of these switches to each other/on the same network path (B and C were not even connected to each other yesterday evening when it went down again).
How many Switches can be stacked with WS-C2960S-48FPD-L at a max..
As per my Knowledge it is 4 and as below..
Switch 1 to Switch 2 Switch 2 to Switch 3 Switch 3 to Switch 4 Switch 4 to Switch 1
If yes then, is it mandatory to do the "Switch 4 to Switch 1" stack. why am I asking this is because this stack requires a long cable and the cable which comes with the Switch is only 0.5M.
I have configured about 20 of these switches now, and notice in the port listings a TE1/1//1 TE1/1/2 and GI1/1/1 GI1/1/2 uplink port. There are only two uplink SFP+ ports. I now have a reason to install with a 1Gb uplink to the Core. I am using a GLC-LH module at each end. I did configure the TE1/1/1 port for the uplink. Does not work though..Do I need to configure the two GI1/1/1 and 1/1/2 ports for uplink, remove the TE configuration for the uplink to work? Using the UNIVERSAL code with a LANBase license.
I receive a question from a future customer about this future if its supported on " WS-C2960S-24PS-L":configuring 2 dhcp server on this swith ( 1 dhcp for voice vlan , and 1 for Data Vlan).I did some search , but i didnt find the answer .i have to advice a customer before ordering the switch.
My company is beginning to have a lot of sites were we are stacking 3 to 4 C2960S-48 switche.This is making "show running-config" very very long because of the 4 x 48 interfaces.I can’t find a CLI command that show me the running-config of a ranges of interfaces. If I for example would like to see running-config for switch 3 (interfaces 3/0/1-52)The Show Running-config will show all the interfaces (for the two first swtiche = 104 interfaces), which take a time before I reach to switch 3.I miss a CLI command like: show Running-config switch 3, or module 3, or show running-config interface range x/x/x-x ?I’m well aware of the CLI command show running-config interface x/x/x, but this will only show me one interface.
I just received three WS-C2960S-24TS-Land three WS-C3560E-48TD-S switches that i entered the Express Setup on as usual. On two of each type of switch i found the default network that is used to facilitate the Express Setup was 10.0.1.1 and the others used an IP range of 10.0.2.1, i realized this is a small negligible at best difference though i need to provide management with an answer as to why there is a difference between the two and can’t find anything online as to why there is a difference or something that proves there should be a difference. All the documentation I find sounding Express Setup notes that the IP range will be 10.0.1.1 not 10.0.2.1
I want to know what is the best way to black traffic inside the same VLAN, this VLAN is a user VLAN, it means that I am talking about access layer.I wanted to use private vlan, but C2960S doesn't support this feature. Any other way to prevent any to any traffic in the user vlan, this vlan only have to speak at the Layer 3.
Does GLC-GE-100FX is supported on the WS-C2960S-24TD-L. I don't see this switch listed under the compatibiilty matrix.URL,But the datasheet for the 2960S says this:"The Cisco Catalyst 2960-S with SFP+ does not support the GLC-FE-100BX, GLC-FE-100FX, or GLC-FE-100LX."But it provides no reference for the GLC-GE-100FX,The easy answer is, no the 2960S-24TD doesn't support it.
I have a Cisco WS-C2960S-48TD-L with 12.2(55)SE2.This is a standalone switch, not in stack, and with no order it reboots itself looking for a new master election. On logging i have nothing, but connected with console cable i see the following after 2 minutes of not showing anything:
Waiting for Stack Master Election... ... The switch reboots and: ... *Mar 1 00:00:12.289: Read env variable - LICENSE_BOOT_LEVEL =
[URL]
After searching online i have no seeing nothing about disable the feature of the stack so i configure the priority for the "switch 1" to 15 and configure it the switches 2, 3 and 4 to no provision, although this switches don´t exist:
SW_ACCESS(config)#switch 1 priority 15 Changing the Switch Priority of Switch Number 1 to 15 Do you want to continue?[confirm] New Priority has been set successfully
[URL]
With this new configuration the switch has rebooted again.Why on a standalone switch the stack is rebooting my system?Is it any feature to disable the stack?
I have a stack of 4 Cisco WS-C2960S-48FPS-L switches running c2960s-universalk9-mz.122-58.SE1 code. One of our network monitoring tools is indicating discards on a certain port on the switch. Upon further investigation I am seeing the Total output drops values change in a very odd manner.
The numbers seem to go from 573 to 1146 to 1719 then back down to 573 and it starts the same pattern over: [code]
The port utilization is quite low, the highest I've seen over the past 7 days is 3.5% with a polling period of every 30 seconds using Statseeker. Yet the discards are bouncing all over the place.
I've searched though the bugs for 12.2(58)SE1 and didn't see anything.
find out which types of fiber optic that i can connect to three types of switches. the setup that i have that there are:8 access switches (WS-C2960S-24TS-S), in each one there is two SFP connections.2 aggregate switches WS-C3750X-24T-S, in each one there is four SFP connections.and one core switches that has SFP card WS-X4624-SFP-E? Note that the fiber optic that we have coming from filed are multimode.
Our network administrator restricts all our new 1Gb switches to only 100Mb, to which he claims it will increase overall performance. Preventing devices from bottlenecking the network. (that is, only restricting the main switch ports, not the uplinks)For example we have a new building with 2x WS-C2960S-48TS-L connected together with FlexJack and then a 1Gb Fiber connection back to our core switch.
This building is on it's own subnet and there is little broadcast traffic. I don't see the point other than it hinders the potential speed we could use. Labs are set up in this building and 1Gb is MUCH faster when it comes to imaging and software deployment.
What this crash means? This is a 6509 with a single Sup720 Cisco IOS Software, s72033_rp Software (s72033_rp-ADVIPSERVICESK9_WAN-M), Version 12.2(33)SXI, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2)System returned to ROM by s/w reset at 04:42:07 PST8PDT Mon Jan 2 2012 (SP by bus error at PC 0x40C6681C, address 0x424B).
