May 6, 2013What is the preferred access switch for new deployment. Choosing between 3850 and 3750x. I have to say that the 3850 wireless features will not be used in this deployment and 4 switch for stack is enough... Looked and read everything that I found in the press, I can not make an informed choice. I bow to 3850, but I was apprehensive following circumstances:1) not too positive reviews2) to long list of open caveats3) to long list of features are not supported in Cisco IOS XE Release 3.2.0SE4) IOS XE : (With regard to the first three points - yes, I understand that the product is new and it has not gone further stage of "childhood diseases" ...Regarding the fourth point - I understand correctly that this is the direction to be moving Cisco Systems and soon all products migrate from classical IOS to IOS XE and so on?

May 16, 2013With my brand new Cisco 3850 Switch, I got it configured with a LAN IP. Then, on my PC I opened up Cisco Network Assistant (version 5.8.5.1 which supports the 3850). I went to add the 3850 to the community by discovering the device, and was prompted with the user/pass box. The password I set was not allowing me to connect, and I realized it's because a username was required and I had not set up a username on the switch. So, I then configured an admin user with level 15 privileges on the switch. However, now when in CNA I try to add the 3850 to the community, it doesn't even prompt me for user/pass, it just says "unable to connect".
What do I need to do to add this 3850 to my community?

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Catalyst 3850 - Normal To See 30% Cpu Usage When Idle?
Apr 18, 2013We have a new stack of two Catalyst 3850-48T's running IOS XE 3.02.00 (we are upgrading to 3.02.01 this weekend.)We noticed the CPU usage is around 30% even when there is almost no traffic going through the switch. We haven't seen any indication that it is causing a problem, but is this considered a normal baseline?I attached my config (with passwords sanitized,) show ver, show controllers utilization, and show process cpu history.
I noticed this behavior is normal on 2900XL/3500XL switches, but I didn't find anything relating it to 3850 switches. Does the same thing apply to the 3850 switches? [code] url...
Cisco Switching/Routing :: 3850 - Link Light On But No Cable Connected?
May 8, 2013I just completed installation of a stacked pair of 3850s in my datacenter. While I was installing them, I noticed that the lights on ports 1-8 on one of the switches were on solid even though there were no cables connected to that switch. I don't see anything in the logs or anywhere else in the CLI that indicate a problem, however the lights remain on. This only happens on switch 1, not switch 2. Once I plugged the cable into port 1, it flashes normally with activity, but 2-8 remain on solid even though nothing is connected to them.
Before I put the switches in place, I had configured them at my desk with the console connection, and those lights were not lit up.
The indicators on the front of both switches are set in STAT mode. I thought initially I had hit the button and flipped it to a different mode, but that is not the case.
Cisco Switching/Routing :: Network Performance - 3850 Versus 2960
Jun 3, 2013I have a network coming up for a switch refresh. Management is pushing for 2960s and I would like 3850s. We are running Cisco Voice and Video over the network. I saw a few things that seemed to be in favor of a Layer 3 switch vs. a Layer 2 switch. Some items like better performance due to switching based on IP vs. switching based on MAC. Some information that will show the 3850 to be a better choice or that the 2960 is capable.
View 6 Replies View RelatedCisco Switching/Routing :: 3850 System LED Blinking Fast - Not Getting Past POST?
May 14, 2013I 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.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: MC9090 - Wireless Not Connecting Through MPLS?
Dec 3, 2012I have two Motorola MC9090's that will no longer connect through my MPLS back to coperate. They both stopped working at the exact same time yesterday.
They connect to a Cisco WAP321 that is connected to a Catylist 3750 that is connected to a Cisco 1921.
Each device can ping anything on that network. Both the switch and the router can ping the devices.
But if I try to ping a device on the coperate network the devices timeout.
The PC's connected to the switch via CAT5 have no issues connecting back to coperate (RDP to server)

View 2 Replies View RelatedCisco Switching/Routing :: 5510 / 2811 - MPLS Options At Company HQ
Apr 30, 2012I've studied and labeled out MPLS and MPLS VPNs several times. The situation I'm presented with is a little different from most of the case studies I've seen in my MPLS books. I've attached a diagram.
We have a IPsec site to site tunnel from our main HQ router to a Cisco ASA 5510 in the core network in the colo. This allows our HQ office to reach the private sub nets in our core without using a Cisco VPN client. The problem we are running into is that this seems to be putting undue strain on the Cisco 2811. I feel like the 2811 should be able to handle it but doing any kind of upload or download through the tunnel spikes the CPU/Interrupts and makes the router CLI basically stop responding until the traffic transfer is stopped or completed. During this time, certain Cisco SCCP phones on our Broad works platform cycle while the SIP phones on the same platform are OK. We are trying to alleviate the load on the 2811 by setting up a VRF from the HQ network to the private VRF used in the Core for private sub net communication. The problem I'm having is the the HQ also has some public traffic that I do not want to include in the VRFs and would like to have it travel through the P2P circuit we have and access the internet or other public devices through the core public IP Internet routing table.
The flow would be this:
-going to a public address use the public internet routing table
-going to private address in the 10.x.x.x or 172.x.x.x - use VRF to core Private network.
This is a little different of a set up from most of the VRF VPN examples I've seen. Most of those the CE devices is completely private. This is not the case at our HQ.

Sep 11, 2012I need to confirm internet access from remote network through MPLS cloud to another site. Let me explain. We have a MPLS network with Wind stream as listed in the visio drawing; site 1 has internet access through the Time-Warner cloud for all users. Site2 has internet access through the Wind stream MPLS router. Site three has no internet access, and only has LAN access layer2 through Windstream routers to Site1 for networks 192.168.0.0/24, 10.1.1.x/24. My question is can we give everyone at Site 3 internet access through the MPLS network down into Site 1 using the Time-Warner ISP cloud.
I placed routes on the Site 3 3750 stack IP route 192.168.50.x 255.255.255.0 to the interface of the MPLS router at site3, then at site 1 we have IP route 192.168.50.x 255.255.255.0 to the MPLS interface, and able to ping all anything on the 192.168.50.0 network. I added the IP route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.50.x the MPLS router interface, we do not have internet access at Site 3 using Site 1 network.
I confirmed at Site 1 from the Cisco 3750 switch we can ping 4.2.2.2 = Google. How to confirm this will work and what’s required to complete this connection to give everyone at site 3 internet access through Site 1 Time-Warner.
Cisco Switching/Routing :: 3825 How To Configure A Broadband Backup For MPLS Circuit
Apr 16, 2013I thought I saw a post/question in regards to "how to" configure a Broadband backup for a MPLS circuit.. What I am trying to do is use a cable/dsl/ broadband (secondary) connection as a backup to a MPLS circuit (primary). I have EIGRP and BGP configured on both the branch endpoint and the tunnel headend. The tunnel is used by the interface that connects to the secondary circuit. The branch location router is a 1841 and the "headend" tunnel router is a 3825. I am wondering about the configuration/syntax of a "weight" or static route that can be used to have data flow over the tunnel when the MPLS circuit goes down - and then switch back to the MPLS circuit when it comes back on line.

Mar 29, 2012We are about to install a new network consisting of Cat 4500s with Sup7E at the Access Layer, with Nexus 7000 at the Distribution and Core layers. We have 14 floors with at least three 4500s on each floor. Within the office block where the Access Layer and Distribution Layer reside we need to support secure borderless networking using 802.1x to place users from different parts of the business into segregated networks at layer 3.All switches will have the feature sets to support MPLS/ VRF / OSPF / EIGRP / BGP etc.We quickly dismissed the idea of using VRF-Lite due to the sheer number of Vlans we would need to managage and maintain, the point to point links alone just to get one additional VRF on each floor required far too many Vlans.As a result we are now considering deploying MPLS. The obvious benefits include scalability and manageability, the fact that all switch to switch links can now be routed, instead of having to using SVIs.

Mar 15, 2012I have 2 cisco 1941/K9 vpn router. I have configured both with LAN ip address given by our vpn provider which is 172.10.10.1 and the other is 172.10.20.1. Both IP addresses are configured to GigabitEthernet port 0/0 on both routers.
1. Is it possible to configure our own set of ip address like 10.71.10.1 and 10.71.50.1 on the GE 0/0 port?
2. Or can we configure our own set of ip addresses (10.71.10.1 and 10.71.50.1) to GigabitEthernet port 0/1 and maintain the other ip addresses on port 0/0?
The first purpose is to have our own set of ip addresses for LAN connection and I will be able to connect or telnet whichever ip address or port is up.

View 2 Replies View RelatedCisco WAN :: Catalyst 3750 / Switching Branch To P2P Fiber From MPLS?
Sep 13, 2011We recently switched two of our branches to point-to-point fiber connections to our corporate office. Previously they were using MPLS connections. For branch A, the ethernet handoff of the fiber is connected directly to a Catalyst 3750 gigabit port. That port has no configuration on it. The other end of that fiber is connected to a gigabit port on the 3750 switch at our corporate office. That port is configured with an IP address that is within the subnet of branch A, and is operating at layer 3 due to the no switchport command.
Branch B currently has a Cisco Express 500 ethernet port (with no configuration on it) connected to the fiber hand off there. At first we setup a port on the 3750 at our corporate office that is connected to Branch B via the fiber in the same manner. This resulted in us receiving DCHP leases at Branch B from Branch A. Obviously not desired. Now we have the port on the corporate 3750 that is connected to Branch B's fiber configured with switchport vlan 64. I also configured interface vlan 64 on that switch at corporate with an IP address from the branch B subnet. We then set that IP address as the default IP address for devices at Branch B.
We are having trouble with both an ATM and a phone system not communicating properly at Branch B. At Branch A we are experiencing the same oddity with the phone system, but the ATM is able to communicate fully. At branch B, when configuring a Windows Vista or Windows 7 laptop with a static IP address that is known to be available, you get transit failures when trying to ping. Essentially everything seems to be able to route fine, but some traffic even after a full tcp hand shake seems to not transmit properly.
When you configure a point-to-point fiber connection from a layer 2 switch at a location without a router to a location with a Cisco Catalyst 3750 switch as the endpoint, what is the best way to configure both sides?
Currently we only have vlan 64 configured on the port mentioned on our switch at corporate, and then the switch at Branch B is essentially operating as an unmanaged switch at the moment with all ports in vlan 1.

Feb 29, 2012I'm looking for Routing Design scenarios to complete our configuration needs for remote branches. We will have two 1921 routers in each location, one with a T1 from our MPLS carrier, the other with a DSL connection from an ISP. The T1 router will have an assigned AS and use BGP to router back to head quarters. The DSL router will have an IPSec tunnel back to an ASA 5510 at head quarters. I envisions a GRE tunnel from the DSL router back to head end routers connecting to MPLS at head quarters. Not sure yet how to manipuate the routing between head quarters and the branches such that the T1 router is the primary route to and from the branches and the DSL router is for failover/backup.

Differences Between Two Models Of 3850 Switches?
Mar 4, 2013We are looking at doing some switch replacement. These switches will be in for ~7 years.We need POE for a VOIP phone system, and 10gb uplinks back to the core. We want to have the ability to go POE+ in the future.
We were quoted from our vendor for:WS-C3850-48P-S with 2x715w Power supplies. It looks like the data sheet says that to get POE+ you need 2x1100w or 1x1100w & 1x715w. Do we need to step up to the WS-C3850-48PF-S?

Mar 10, 2013I understand that Cisco *wants* the APs to be directly connected to the new 3850.I have a few questions. Unfortunately, I think I know the answers. I just want to confirm.
a. When MA/MC is enabled on the 3850, does the 3850 start intercepting *all* CAPWAP packets it sees (much like CDP)? Even non-Cisco CAPWAP packets?
b. If I have a WLC 5500 upstream from the 3850, would APs hanging off a downstream 2960 be able to register to the 5500 through the 3850 when the 3850 is NOT in MA/MC mode?
c. If I have a WLC 5500 upstream from the 3850, would APs hanging off a downstream 2960 be able to register to the 5500 through the 3850 when the 3850 IS in MA/MC mode?
What I'm afraid of is:
a. yes, yes
b. yes
c. no
From the Q&A page:Q. Does the Cisco Catalyst 3850 support indirectly connected access points?A. No. The Cisco Catalyst 3850 switch will always terminate the CAPWAP tunnel locally. Pass-through mode or indirectly connected access point is not supported at this time.

View 5 Replies View RelatedCisco WAN :: MPLS MTU 6500 With SUP 720
Jan 14, 2013Just like to ask first your inputs about the MTUs needed on our proposed setup. We currently have a large internal network composed of several metro ethernet links. We have different carriers and we all know that they do not always provide L1 connectivity. They sometimes do Q-in-Q or EoMPLS or other technologies that would hide their internal network and appear as a point-to-point ME circuit to customers.
We are planning to create our own MPLS network for our clients so we don't have to leak their networks inside ours and we are trying to avoid the overhead of GRE/IPSEC since we'll be adding a lot of client networks and the overhead is not reasonable. So we just thought of MPLS-VPN to at least reduce the overhead and we don't have to purchase a lot of network devices.
With that said, what is the safest thing to ask the carriers and what settings should i put in our network devices. I am still confused with the differences of MTU, IP MTU, and MPLS MTU.
We also have one circuit running 802.1q instead of using routed-port on the switch. Is 802.1q supported in LDP?
Our internal network is comprised of 6500 switches with Sup720 and Gigabit linecards and we are planning to use 3900 routers as PEs. We all hooked up our ME circuits across the 6500 switches.
