Cisco Switching/Routing :: C3750 / Layer 2 Loop Protection Enhancement?

Feb 19, 2012

we recently had on our network a simple layer 2 loop problem, with big effects.Here is the situation: we have a C3750 switch, with STP activate on all ports.We don't have total control on this switchs, and for some reasons, it is possible that people connect  a 2d switch on it (Cisco or non-Cisco).What happened several times is a classic case: a person interconnect 2 ports of this 2d switch, creating a loop. As the loop is created on the 2d switch only, the 1st switch detect no loop, the the uplink port keeps up.Afer this loop created, a broadcast storm occurs through the link between 1st & 2d switch .. and the storm propgates all over the LAN.I try to find some solutions to avoid that. One thing I would like to do is to find a mecanism on the first switch, which can permit to block the uplink port on the 1st switch if it sees the same MAC address as source in the 2 directions.Note that storm control, even configured to a quite low value (ie: 2Mbps) is not efficient enough to protect equipment (we have had big CPU impact on LAN equipments).

Cisco Switching/Routing :: SG300/500 - Similar Feature To HP Loop Protection?

Apr 17, 2012

Do Cisco Catalyst (IOS) and specially Cisco SG300/500 support a similar feature to HP's Loop Protection or DLINK's Loopback Detection? This is an interesting feature to avoid loops caused by unmanaged switches.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Sub-50ms Protection Switching At Ethernet Layer (ERPS G.8032)

Jul 24, 2011

It is understood that sub-50 ms ERPS convergence can be achieved with certain HW/SW combinations.
 
1) What are the platforms supported (and with what FW/SW) has this been tested ?any results that can be shared?
 
2)  Link failure detection in GigE on Copper is slower compared to GigE  over "pure" Fibre; so no sub-50ms would be possible with Copper ring ports.is sub-50ms convergence achievable with "combo SFP ports" ?

Cisco Switching/Routing :: 2950 - Bridging Loops / STP Protection

Jan 20, 2012

I have a network where if an end user attaches an hub to the network, or rather one of those cheap unmanaged 8-port mini-switches and then plugs the two ends of the same cable into two ports of that mini-switch, all the network goes down. Loops are generated and many uplinks are shut down in err-disable state due to the loopback reason.
 
I know I could discourage the use of those mini-switches using port security. I even have NAC (cisco) deployed on the network, but there are cases where that mini-switches are allowed by the managment.In those cases, is not possible to exactly know wich hosts (mac addresses), and even how many of them will attach the network concurrently.As I know, they could even chain many mini-switch one to another. Of course, when even a single mini-switch is allowed on the network, it raises as a security hole.
 
Is there a way to allow the use of those devices without the risk of network outages? Some STP protection method? The best would be to have the Cisco access switch to get aware of the loop on its affected switchport (where the mini-switch is attached), immediately shutting down that port (to avoid loops on the network) and maybe sending an SNMP trap or a syslog message.
 
We are using Cisco Catalyst 2950 and 2960 for our access layer.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: C3750 - Data Center / IP Routing

Feb 21, 2013

I have a problem to solve in our data center, see attached drawing. HW: Our core switches consists of two stacked C3750 with ip routing. What I want to do is probably simple but I haven't been able to figure out the best method.
 
VLAN10 and VLAN20 should not be able to communicate with each other. (ACLs?)VLAN10 will have it's own default route/firewall. Both VLAN10 and VLAN20 should be able to send server backups to server in VLAN30. All 3 V LANs come in on a trunk from a pair of stacked C2960-S. I need it to be able to scale if we have 50 VLANs for instance, hopefully without long complicated ACLs. I've been considering VRF's, PBR but can't decide what's the simplest solution to this problem. I have never done this before so I would prefer to start off on the right foot.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: C3750-X Stacking Configuration

Mar 30, 2013

I am having troubles to get 2 C3750-X switches WS-C3750-X-48P-L) to stack.   They are both running  iOS 15.0(2)-UNIVERSALK9, and are licensed for IP Base.
 
If I connect stack port 1 of switch 1 to stack port 2 of switch 1, and  stack port 1 of switch 2to stack port 2 of switch 2 I get the following:
 
WS-C3750-X_STACK1_SW1>show switch stack-ports summary
Switch#/  Stack   Neighbor   Cable    Link   Link   Sync      #         InPort#     Port              Length    OK   Active   OK    Changes   Loopback          Status

[Code].....
 
I have tried restarting (powering off for about 1 min and turning back on) simultaneously, and powering off switch 1 for 1 min and switch 2 for 2 min.   I have also tried both enabling the stack ports, and disabling followed by enabling.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: C3750 SFP Failure After Reload

Mar 11, 2013

I have a cable from an SFP module in a WS-C3750-48P with 12.2(55)SE1 running to a Gigabit port on a Cisco WLC. After the switch recovers from a power failure, the gigabit autonegotiation fails. The cure is a long drive to unplug and reseat the SFP. Note this happens at too many similar sites for this to be a loose connection. Interface shutdown then 'no shutdown' is not sufficient. The state is 'line protocol is down (not connected)'. Interface is configured for switchport mode trunk (auto speed, auto duplex). Command 'switchport nonegotiate' makes no difference. Is there a more powerful command than 'shutdown' which might toggle the interface signals? Is there some way of resetting the SFP? sh int gi 1/0/1 displays 'media type is 10/100/1000BaseTX SFP' and zero packets received.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: C3750 - ACL Building For QOS Or Policing

Jun 6, 2012

I would like to apply policing on a C3750 interface, for all traffic matching 10.0.0.0 / 8, except for sub net 10.0.0.0 / 24. I plan to apply the following configuration, with an ACL that denies 10.0.0.0 / 24 then accept 10.0.0.0 / 8. I am quite sure of the answer but need a confirmation about the following configuration correct ? (10.0.0.0 / 24 will be not blocked, and no policing will be apply on it?)

Cisco Switching/Routing :: C3750 - Packets Lost

Nov 21, 2011

I have a stack of 2 C3750-switches (WS-C3750G-24TS-1U) with IPBASE-firmware (12.2(52)SE). 
 
When I ping to a machine (in this case a virtual one), the replies are always received on the port where the machine is connected, but on the port-channel connecting to the stack of the 'pinging device' the reply comes only for certain initiators, and not for all.
 
Setting:
Gi1/0/6: Device/Server I want to connect too ; defined as access port
Gi1/0/25 + Gi2/0/25, as Port-Channel 1: The location of the devices I connect (read as: the uplink to the stack of the PC's), defined for Dot1Q-trunking
 
Monitoring setup: Source ports: Both: Gi 1/0/6, Po1 (or Po1 replaced by both interfaces)
 
For the machines which can ping the server I see 2 echo (ping) requests, followed by 2 echo (ping) replies ... So once seen on the Po1, and once seen on the interface Gi1/0/6.

However for other machines, the 2nd reply is missing ; which must be caused by the dropping of these packets in the switch.  At least, I my opinion this must be the reason... But I can't see any (change of) output drops at int Po1, nor at Gi1/0/6.  The CPU doesn't seem to have high usage, and even then, I don't think the error would be constant, as it's always failing for some PC's, and never for others... (at least for a certain time, a few hours it can be constant, the problem dissapears from time to time).

Cisco Switching/Routing :: 2960 - Can't Reproduce STP Loop

Jun 6, 2013

I am trying to reproduce a Spanning-Tree loop in my lab that occurred on Ops, and for the life of me I cannot break it. The loop is very simple:
 
Cisco 2960------------FW that doesn't forward STP traffic-----------Cisco 2960

This created an STP loop.  In my lab, I am substituting the FW for another Cisco 2960 with STP disabled and BPDUFilter on ingress/egress ports to stop the switch from sending BPDU's to the downstream switch to keep it in the dark, as the FW did on Ops.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Upgrading C3750-X Stack Switch

Nov 27, 2012

a) I have three C3750-X switch stack together as my SAN switch and running on the new 15.0 release which is 15.0(1) SE.

b) Recently the master switch rebooted without any explanation. Create ticket with TAC and got an answer that it is due to a bug with ID: CSCtr31957.
 
My question is, which release that should i choose either the 15.0(1) SE3 or the latest 15.0(2)? Will it affect any of my configuration if i change to 15.0(2)?

Finally, what is the best practice to upgrade IOS in a stack whether to upgrade it 1 switch at a time or do it to all at once?

Cisco Switching/Routing :: 6504 / Supervisor 720-3b Reboot Loop?

Apr 14, 2007

Booting went fine and we pasted in the original config. There was one failure message about unnsupported command but didnt take further notice."boot system flash sup-bootflash:" was probaly the line that the 720-3B didnt support.After wr mem and reload it went in continious loop and rebooting due to inncorrect boot device. Had to put back the old supervisor and have now the 720-3B in a 6504 chassis. Tried some commands in rommon, but are not getting any further.
