Cisco Switching/Routing :: C6509-E Do A Unexpected Reload
Feb 26, 2012
Last night, the C6509-E do a unexpected reload. In the crashinfo, I can see that the last error message before the reload, was as follows: %C6K_ PLATFORM-SP-2-PEER_RESET: SP is being reset by the RP
I consulted the cisco website about this error message and what I found was the following:C6K_PLATFORM-2.
Switch .55 can ssh into Switch .57 but cannot ssh into Switch .56. Switch 56 can ssh into Switch 55 and ssh into Switch 57 Switch 57 can ssh into Switch 55 and ssh into Switch 56
The software on .56 is:
C3560 Software (C3560-IPBASEK9-M), Version 12.2(55)SE3, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)
I noticed on .56, when I do a show ip ssh I get: SSH Enabled - version 1.5. It doesn't say version 1.99 like the others even when I configure version 2. Is this a bug I am running into?
i have several cisco 6500 switches, and user switched connected to them.in my example i have a global service vlan, where some access ports are directly connected on the 6500, and this vlan is also allowed on the trunks to the access switch.
now i am connected with ma laptop on a access switch, where my port is in the same vlan. when i do a show mac address-table on my access port, i can see my own mac-address, nothing else.when i start wireshark to see the traffic, all i should see is traffic from or to my MAC, or broadcasts/multicasts.
But i can see other unicast traffic with different source/destination mac than mine.It seem slike these packets get broadcasted over the whole VLAN, but its no broadcast MAC nor IP.
We would like to install a WS-SVC-WISM2-1-K9 in each of our 2 WS-C6509-E chassis. Both of these have supervisor 720 engines installed. One in each chassis.From what I have read we need to upgrade the IOS to 12.2.33 SXJ4. Is this correct?If this is true then what are the memory requirements for the upgrade to this IOS version. Below is the output from Show version?Is there sufficient memory instqalled to do this install?
we plan to implement VSS on our datacenters (C6509/Sup720), in order to remove L2 loops (currently, access layer are C3750 stacks, which could evoluate for N5K/N2K). I would like to have some feedbacks about VSS stability. Some years ago, I have seen some bugs with this technology in another company, so I am still not totally comfortable to use it in the datacenter.
We plan to implement a large number of ACL on our Distribution switch which is a HSRP pair of 6509C switches running on sup-bootflash:s72033-psv-mz.122-18.SXD3.bin WE need to divide the Network in three layers
unsecure layer Proxy layer Secure layer
We have approximately 250 vlans on the our distribution switches and plan to implement 15 ACL on different vlans Each ACL can contain upto 30 lines or less.
basic ACL example we will be applying on different vlan vlan 200 ip access-group test123 in
My question is Can these ACL on a vlan can have a massive impact on the 6509 CPU ?
I have a 2 cisco core (cisco WS-C6509-E (R7000) processor) and been working for quite sometime.they are conneted with HSRP with active standby config with a 10 g module for redundancy just today I see that the cpu utilization went to about 50% and its the same on both cores.
what should it be the minimum IOS version that I require on my WS-C6509-E equipments to support "logging origin-id" command?
Cisco documentation says that this command was introduced in 12.2(15)T, and integrated into 12.2(33)SXH. BUT my Cisco switches have 12.2(33)SXH5 IOS version......and they do not support "logging origin-id".
(config)#logging ? Hostname or A.B.C.D IP address of the logging host buffered Set buffered logging parameters buginf Enable buginf logging for debugging cns-events Set CNS Event logging level console Set console logging parameters count Count every log message and timestamp last occurance esm Set ESM filter restrictions event Global interface events exception Limit(code)
I operate between c6509-E, what did you flooding? its just packet capture gi1/3 but i dont know it and is it attack?also same seq no switch gots it?what is problem?
we have a WS-C6509-E WITH SUP VS-S720-10G, and IOS s72033-advipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-33.SXI5.bin. [code]
From, what we can see, whenever we try to clear arp-cache, it doesn't remove the IPs from the ARP. We've checked a bug in the IOS 12.2(33)SXH4 with the same issue, in version SXI4 is solved, but I have version SXI5, it is supposed to be fixed, from this caveat CSCtf16300, since it says it was fixed on 12.2(33)SXI4, it should be fixed on SXI5, right ?
So I took a laptop with wireshark and plugged it into a nexus 5000 port that is configured as a trunk with 3 vlans allowed on it. The laptop was seeing all kinds of traffic on the wire, most of it was not involving my laptop.
For example: Server A VLAN 10= 10.10.10.1 Server B VLAN 20= 10.20.20.1 and wireshark laptop is plugged into a trunk port which is allowing those vlan's. The vlan's are routable.
10.10.10.3 is seeing the entire conversation when 10.10.10.1 backs up 10.20.20.1 even though it has no reason to see it. It is as if the trunk is spanning traffic to the laptop port. No span is setup however. It's really weird. This is not just broadcast traffic, but actual tcp taffic between Server A and B. Why would a trunk port see traffic between 2 other servers talking to each other on the vlan.
Both regular IP traffic and ICMP traffic are passing through the source port. C6509 provides the option of filtering vlan traffic during monitoring. But I don't have vlan traffic.
I have a C6509 with WS-X6548-GE-TX port module. The first port group, 1-8, is showing oversubscription (packets dropping) in the shared buffer. What interface commands can I use to find the specific port causing the buffer overflow?None of the ports is continuously overutilized and none of them in a SPAN destination group.I don't want to move connections without knowing which one is causing the problem. Also I fear that moving the connections may shift the bleeding to another shared port group.
I have been looking at grading the IOS version on our 6509-E however there is not enough space on disk:0 to upgrade to the version I need to install. The question I would like to ask is - is it possible to boot the IOS from a TFTP server? If this is possible what configuration do I need on the 6509 to enable this. How does the 6509 know about the TFTP server as an IOS is not installed and therefore it will not have a network configuration
I have Cisco WS-C6509 with IOS version 12.2(18)I have several vlan interface on this device.Today I create new vlan intervace
interface Vlan165 description test5 ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.252 end
and vlan:
VLAN Name Status Ports ---- -------------------------------- --------- ------------------------------- 165 test5 active Gi7/14
But I can't ping this IP address and show ip route shows:
sh ip route 10.10.10.1 Routing entry for 10.10.10.0/24 Known via "static", distance 254, metric 0 (connected)
I have static route for this subnet /24?I can not see any error in logs, but looks like I reached vlan interface limit on this device or something like this.How can I check it?
I am trying to figure out what is heat dissipation of a C6509-E configured as follows:
1 x WS-C6509-E-FAN 1 x VS-S720-10G-3C 1 x VS-F6K-PFC3C 8 x WS-X6748-GE-TX 8 x WS-F6700-DFC3C 2 x WS-CAC-6000W
I have tried two ways: 1) the power calculator and 2) manual calculation using the C6500 installation guide.
1) The power calculator says 13630 BTU/h 2) Manual calculation says: [code]
The there should be also the two PS in the picture, and the new total should be: [code] Well, 62711 BTU/h looks quite a bit too much and I think that the heat dissipation of the power supply should't be considered in the calculation.Isn't it an item that takes power from the grid and that generates heat according to its efficiency as the other modules?
Network newbie need to verify all necessary services and protocols on a new WS-C6509-E are turned on. This layer 3 switch will be used to connect to servers.
We have two c6509 budled in VSS. I have noticed randomly high usage of CPU, sometimes up to 99% in peaks. I have found that it can be generated by SNMP engine. So I unconfigure all SNMP things. But situation is the same. I would like to know if this state is OK or not. CPU shows are enclosed in file.
We are facing issue of getting very high CPU utilization for the VSS Switch model WS-C6509-E some times approx 100%.Attaching here show tech-support taken later after CPU normal along with show logging, show cpu sorted.HCAINNOI01XXXCS0001#sh proces cpu | ex 0.0%CPU utilization for five seconds: 100%/13%; one minute: 90%; five minutes: 91%PID 5Sec 1Min 5Min Process16406 91.2% 75.2% 76.2% ios-base16426 1.7% 1.4% 1.4% udp.proc16429 0.3% 0.3% 0.3% raw_ip.proc16432 2.8% 3.1% 3.1% cdp2.iosproc
we have cisco WS-C6509-V-E with IOS version 12.2(33)SXI4; s3223_rp_IPSERVICESK9_WAN_M) running on a switch. I am trying to configure the command "mac-address-table synchronize" under global config mode. But when I enter the command Cisco(config)#mac-address-table ?It doesn't show the synchronize option?
I am trying to find a command for dhcp snooping rate-limiting on a CatOS. The PFC card is PFC. PFC3B is said to support that command. But there seems no this command.

We are planning to replace a few line cards in the existing 6509-E chassis. The sup installed is a VS-S720-10G-3C but the line cards are legacy. As a result we are not able to enable the VSS functionality. We are looking to replace the existing line cards with the following:
1. 1 x WS-X6716-10G-3C 2. 1 x WS-X6724-SFP 3. 4 x WS-X6724-GE-TX

I've a big problem with a loss of packets ICMP sent by different hosts in differents VLAN. Here my architecture:
Core Switch : 2 Switch's C6509 (Version 15.0 (1) SY1)- Mode VSS - One lien VSL , the other link is defective.Access Switch: C3750 , Connected to Core Switch through 2 fibre optique wires.Topology: redundant ring
When I send consecutive ping message I found always a missing of packets . Furthermore When I insert the "show ip traffic" command., the parameter "bad hop count" increase after a loss of packets. I've 2 hosts connected in my network and they send packets with TTL =127.
In the Core Switch I haven't configured the MEC because it gave me troubles with the packets multicast.
I have recently configured secondary ip address on LAN Interface of Cisco C6509.. We have some application which needs to use broadcast traffic communication to communicate with client... Broadcast is working within subnet & also working from broadcast server to primary subnet. But not working from secondary subnet.. I have checked broadcast within secondary IP range & it's working fine... Secondary not working broadcast with primary and also with broadcast server... broadcast address is different for these subnet but both should be communicate since configured on same interface... When I went through Cisco website found that command "ip directed broadcast" which will pass broadcast to different subnet... But I'm not sure whether any other impact if I enable that command on particular Ethernet interface...
I've just purchased a new Cisco 881.I'm using NAT NVI for my inbound static mappings. However, regardless of the fact that the config is saved to nvram, after a reload of the router, the NAT mappings are setup as traditional inside/outside mappings. This means that inbound connections in to the router on the required services fail, until someone logs on to the router and re-applies the NVI mappings.
Here's a sanitised version of my startup-config:
! ! Last configuration change at 20:20:15 UTC Tue Dec 11 2012 by xxx version 15.2 no service pad service timestamps debug datetime msec service timestamps log datetime msec service password-encryption
SSH has been enabled on our one and only 4507 switch for several months and working fine. A few weeks ago the switch had to be reloaded and when it was back online I couldn't SSH to it. When I connected via the console and typed "show ip ssh" it came back saying I needed to generate the keys. Did that and it starting working again. The same switch had to turned off and on the other day due to a power down in the server room and when it came back the same thing happened again!!
The version of IOS is: cat4000-i5k91s-mz.122.20.EW
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.
We have a backup sup 720 which has a 2 gigabit ethernet though port channel, to another chassis. Suddenly UDLD detected an error and got into err disable, then this err disable didn't let the interface set to DOWN, and created a switch loop, then our Supervisor reloaded. I'd like to know what could have caused this reload. In my opinion could have a been the switch loop, but also I've been checking from the output interpreter the show tech and might have been a bug, the only one that could match in IOS version 12.2(33)SXH, is this one: url...
We're going to disable err-disable next time I guess and recover the link manually, apart from that what could have made the sup for crash and reload?
Suffered a big outage on the network, the fix was to reload the module 3 on the 6509 switch, we had these errors on the log %CONST_DIAG-SW1_SP-3-HM_PORT_TEST_FAIL: Switch 1 Module 3 TestUnusedPortLoopback Port(s)[24,46] failed. System operation continues.in the end, we reloaded the card and it was all ok. is there anything I can do to check the card / or any deeper logs? would that error cause the card to crash?
Our router suddenly reloaded. Below are the crashinfo obtained:

I have a problem with the Cisco 881 router at one of our customers.It seems that after a "no shutdown" has been given on the Vlan interface, it still goes back to "administratevly down" after a reboot.So when I restart the router I always have to manually "no shutdown" the Vlan interface to come back up.While rebooting the router it also gives the following info in the console screen every time which is strange:
new interface Vlan1 placed in "shutdown" state.We tried several different firmware releases.
Replacing the router with a new Cisco 881 router did not work either. After they sent back the old Cisco 881 router we tested it here and there were no problems, we weren't able to replicate the problem.The configuration we use for the router is correct, we use it for hundreds of customers, so that can't be it either.The customer uses a fortinet firewall behind the router. Could it be that something inside the LAN of the customer that triggers the Vlan to shut down?
