Cisco Switching/Routing :: Catalyst 2900 XL Console Access Disabled
Jun 30, 2012
I just purchased a used Catalyst 2900 XL switch and have not been succesful in connecting to the console via minicom 2.5 running on Ubuntu 12.04 or 11.10, I don’t even get junk charecters in the terminal or echo on input. The switch passes POST according to the LEDs on the front and the network ports are fucntional for switching purpouses.
I’m using a Prolific PL2303 USB-Serial adapter, which works with minicom to console into another device. I’ve tried every baud rate available and tried combonations of hardware flow control, software flow control, and niether.I’ve tested the pinout of the console cable and all pins map correctly according to Cisco spec.I’ve also tried Cutecom, putty, and screen. I have not tried HyperTerminal because I do not use windows.Is it possible that the previous owner disabled console access? Do I need to reboot the switch each time I test a different baud rate?

Cisco C2960S IOS:12.2(55)SE5
Cisco C3560X IOS: 12.2(55)SE3
The 3560 switch is serving as an access and distribution layer switch. End devices are connected to it and it also implements IP routing via SVI and L3 ports.Auto qos voice cisco-phone has been implemented on applicable access layer ports. SRND4 is being used.
2960:
mls qos map policed-dscp 0 10 18 24 46 to 8
mls qos map cos-dscp 0 8 16 24 32 46 48 56
mls qos srr-queue output cos-map queue 1 threshold 3 4 5
mls qos srr-queue output cos-map queue 2 threshold 1 2
mls qos srr-queue output cos-map queue 2 threshold 2 3
mls qos srr-queue output cos-map queue 2 threshold 3 6 7
[code].....
Question 1:Why is the auto qos generated policed-dscp map different on these two switches?The Cisco Smart Business Architecture LAN configuration files guide [URL] does not specifically use the 3560 in their examples, they use the 3750 but it's my assumption that the same techniques, configs apply with regard to my specific feature questions. When using a 3750 in the Access layer, the guide shows (page 15) the same auto qos generated policed-dscp map configuration that is on my 2960. The SBA LAN config guide shows that when using a 3750 as a Distribution layer switch (page 26), the policed-dscp map configuration is the same that I see on my 3560.In the configuration guide for the 3750 distro switch, there is no auto qos applied as there are no access ports, so the mls qos commands are manually input. Since my 3560 does have access ports, auto qos generated the mls qos commands, and the results are the same be it following the guide and manually entering (per distro switch guidelines) or using auto qos. This leads to question 2...
Question 2:Why is the mls qos map policed-dscp configuration different depending on use as an access vs. distribution switch?
Question 3: On the 3560, access ports that have "auto qos voice cisco-phone" applied are put into queue-set 2 (output). Queue-set 2 (output) uses default values (not configured). Is this correct and desirable? If so, why? The 2960 has all ports in queue-set 1, regardless of being an access device port or a trunk port connected to the 3560 (as per the SBA LAN config guide EgressQOS macro commands). The 3560 trunk ports are all also configured to use queue-set 1 (output), again as per the SBA LAN config guide EgressQOS marco commands.

I want to configure my switch via console cable, the switch boots up normally, and there are no configurations present on the switch. However, anything I type does not appear on the terminal client. I used several terminal clients (TeraTerm, PuTTY, HyperTerminal), all latest versions as well as different PCs. I even forced the switch to rommon mode, still, anything I type does not appear on the terminal client.
Here's the output of TeraTerm:
Boot Sector Filesystem (bs) installed, fsid: 2
Base ethernet MAC Address: e8:40:40:06:f0:80
Xmodem file system is available.

After the last line, I can not type any command at all. I encountered this on three 2960 switches that we have here in our laboratory.

is it possible, to use a Catalyst Switch (in my case a 3560E) as a source for a console session to another Catalyst? In principle to use it as a console terminal server.

I have a Cisco Catalyst 2960 series switch. When I connect another switch or a VMWare Esx server on one of the ports, the port blinks for few seconds and then goes off. When I connect a desktop or laptop or a windows server the ports stay led and I can access resources on the network. However, when connect another switch or a vmware esx server, the port is disabled.
What config in the switch can I check to make sure the ports stay on regardless when I connect a desktop / laptop, switch or vmware server?

The field engineer has a stand alone 24 port 2900 series switch that he has different equipment connected to and are segmented using VLANs. So for example, he's got ports 1-4 assigned to VLAN 10, 5-12 assigned to VLAN 20, 13-19 assigned to VLAN 30 and 20-24 assigned to VLAN 40. He would like all the gear on VLAN 30 to have the ablity to talk to all of the other VLANS, but VLAN 40 should not be allowed to talk with any other VLAN. Trunking would do no good here since the switch isn't connected to anything and you can only assign one VLAN per port.
Is there a way to do this within the stand alone switch? The only possible way I could think of would be to ensure that each VLAN has an assigned IP number (subnet) and doing this through access lists.

today I received a Cisco 1841 Router with a problem i have never seen before. Maybe this my 1st really,really broken Cisco Router. When I power the Router on, the fan and all lights turn on (green) and that's it. Nothing changes, also after minutes of wating. On console i don't get any messages and I already tried every BAUD rate possible. Switched the router off/on again and again. And no, it's obviously not a console problem of my computer, because i tried with different routers.

I have 5 SVIs configured for VLAN Interfaces 121-125 for my vSphere environment.
All VMs can ping IPs on all the VLANs (VMs on VLAN 124 can ping VMs on VLAN121)
All VMs, except those on VLAN 124, can access the Internet or even ping my router IP.
If I change one of the VLAN 124 VMs to use a different VLAN, and update the addressing appropriately, it can access the Internet.
The problem is exhibited with Windows and Linux VMs. So, I believe something in my switch setup is the problem with VLAN 124 in particular.
If i do a show vlan brief, VLAN 124 is listed.
If I do a show ip int brief, VLAN 124 is listed as upup. I also tried to shut o shut the VLAN 124 interface.
Only one specific VLAN has connectivity problems?
My topology is Catalyst 3560 to home router to Internet.

I am unable to access a series of switches connected together through a management vlan. I receive the message "The server xx.xx.xx.xx at level_15_access requires a username and password." Entering the username and password fails and the same username and password message returns. I am able to ssh into the switch with the username and password that fails trying to access the switch with the browser.
How can I check the username and password for access with the browser?
I am trying to monitor switch performance. Is there a good way to monitor switch performance with the command line interface?

I want to configure accesslists on my Catalyst 3750X-switches to protect different VLANs/networks. Any best-practices about inbound versus outbound accesslists? In my head it is more readable and easier to understand the config when accesslists are assigned outbound on the VLAN to protect instead of assigning them inbound on all possible source-VLANs. But of course, from a performance point-of-view it is better to use inbound access-lists to avoid un-necessary routing etc.

Since I am a collector of all things Cisco, I picked up a Catalyst 5505 switch today. It has two supervisor engines in it, a card with 12 fiber ports in it, and two 24 port cards in it. I am trying to console into this thing, but I am not having any luck. I have Googled it and some threads say it uses a normal straight through cable and other threads say it uses the normal Cisco rollover cable. I tried going both routes but no luck?

I have a few old 2600 routers (2621, different IOS's) which I'm now replacing for new one's from the 2900 series (2901, Version 15.1(4)M4).In my configuration I have two IP addresses in my LAN interface and I have HSRP configured within the secondary IP subnet range. It would be something like this:
interface GigabitEthernet0/1
ip address 172.x.x.x x.x.x.x secondary
ip address 10.z.z.z z.z.z.z
[Code].....
Now, in the new 2900 routers, my interface configuration hasn't changed however I can see that the hello packets are now sent with the source within the respective HSRP IP subnet so I had to edit my acl for that:
permit udp 172.x.x.x x.x.x.x host 224.0.0.2 eq 1985
Is there a way I can force the HSRP to work as it previously did in the old IOS's?

I have a 2900 router at branch office. This router has a 4 port switch card and two gigabyte ports. The gigabyte port is use for wan connection and the 4 port switch card is use for lan connection. I have two separate networks on my lan side. (network 1 and network 2)
I have assigned port 0,1 of the switch card to vlan1 for network 1 Ports 2,3 of the switch card is assigned vlan 20 for network 2
My problem is I would like to applied a bandwidth restriction for all data coming out from vlan20 capping same to 384 kb.
Note I do not want use QOS because this will only kickin when saturation occurs,

I recently copied a configuration from a router 2800 to a 2900. After a power outage no one can connect outside of the network through the new router. Before the outage all was fine. I put back the old router and all is fine which eliminates any cable or switch error. I have the router totally disconnect. I notice the configuration is in place. My question is there any diagnostics that I can run to see if there is any hardware failure. It seems to boot up fine.
