Cisco Switching/Routing :: Catalyst 2960 Switch Port Bandwidth Limit?
Sep 18, 2012
I want to configure switch port bandwidth limit for my Catalyst 2960-48, is there any hardware / ios limitation? can I configure it at all 48 switch ports?
I want to limit the bandwidth of my Catalyst 3750 series switch, I read the cisco documentation and I applied the commands but I didn't get the wanted results.
For the outbound traffic it's ok, but for the inbound traffic I used policing but I get an unstable traffic. I used, an access list and a class-map to classify the traffic and then a policy-map.(I followed the steps mentioned in this site: [URL]
we have currently a configuration with 3 bonded (link aggregation) channels, each delivering 1 Gb/s uplink, providing a total of 3 Gb/s uplink. Due to a recent network upgrade, we can now add more channels to the same group in order to have a total of 9 Gb/s uplink, meaning that we should bond toegether 9 channels. When we tried to change the old configuration in order to include six new channels to the bondend group we noticed 2 things: one channel was left in standby (blinking orange led),no increase in the uplink bandwidth semmed to happen,By looking around it looks like the channel group is limited to a maximum of 8 channels [*].
We are about to share a 10 MBit ISP connection with 2 others companies, and they are going to split the bill up into 3,3 and 4 Mbit, so we where thinking that we could setup a switch before their and ours router and provide them with a static IP from our ISP. But is it possible to set a bandwidth limit on the ports of a Cisco Catalyst 2960-8TC, so that we can set a limit of 3,3 and 4 on 3 ports.
configuring a switch or a router to limit the bandwidth for a specific user/IP when need it. Most of my remote offices are configured like this:
Users ------ 3560 switch ------- 2801 router -------- T1 to NOC -------- 7204 router with channelized DS3
I use Netflow Analyzer for high bandwidth usage alerts and can see the user's IP right away when someone is clogging our T1s. My goal is to be able to temporarily limit the bandwidth of the user taking over the T1. Whatever is best switch config or on the router.
I have the attached setup. now i would like to limit my ftp transfer to 10 mb from a specific vlan to ftp server on the STM-4 (622) link. what would be the best way to limit ftp traffic to 10 mb .Video_Main#sh verCisco IOS Software, IOS-XE Software, Catalyst 4500 L3 Switch Software (cat4500e-UNIVERSAL-M), Version 03.02.00.SG RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc4)Technical Support:

i try to implement layer 2 qos in 2960. when i complete to configure the switch, i want to test the qos.PC1 conect to switch port 1,PC2 conect to switch port 2 . PC1 is source teminal. i use skydata.exe and FTP for the test.
when use the skydata ,the PC2 speed can reach 10mbps.when use the FTP , the PC2 only can reach 1.2mbps. why?
I can use Putty to SSH into my new switch (Directly connected to my laptop with ethernet cable), but I cant log into my switch.
Sent username "admin" admin@192.168.251.1's password: Access denied
It doesnt like my password, but I have only set 1 password (king) on this switch. I've configured 3 other switches with SSH and had no problem. Been trouble shooting for awhile and It'd be great if I could have a 2nd set of eyes take a peek, Also, my running config is attached.
I have Catalyst 2960 S (WS-C2960S-48FPS-L) Switch. I have plugged in SFP module but still interface is down and line protocol down. Is there any configuration to enable SFP module and make the interface up?
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. The password-recovery mechanism is enabled. Initializing Flash...

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.
I Have a problem I'm trying to configure automatically my switch over ther DHCP when I start the switch it request an IP from the DHCP from here everythings is fine but it does nothing more,indeed I put on my dhcp the option 66 and 67 which is an adress of my TFTP server and a file to download and the switch seems not to understand theses options , I tried my dhcp with a cisco airport and everythings works fine the File from the TFTP is automatically downloaded into the airport...There is an option to add or am I missing something in order to make it work with my switch ?
I planed to configure a new catalyst 2960 switch with console cable.
During the boot, all seems ok. but from my terminal client, I can't have access to configuration mode.Keyboard or Terminal client is not sending commands to the switch.
The terminal is blocked on this line Compiled Tue 28-Sep-10 13:44 by prod_rel_team.what can I do to get access to the switch? [code]
Wondering if this switch is capable of being a backbone switch for a network of about 1000+ users and if the switch can handle a sustained 30Meg of data going across it?
I'm trying to configure Catalyst 2960 series 8 port switch in my office. I have just plugged in switch and started and then put Ethernet cable (which is coming from the wall port (LAN) into CONSOLE (switch). and connected my laptop's ethernet cable to switch's 1x por
I want to limit the bandwidth going to remote site on the switch connecting to our netapp.We have a 4 port channel group setup on our 3750x switch going to our netapp storage. We have a Wan 100mb link to our remote site and we want only 60MBs of that link to be used for Netapp traffic all other local traffic needs to use the full amount of the bandwidth to the netapp.
Is possible to allocate bandwidth in this way and how would I go about this? We dont have access to the routers for the link and they plug directly into a port on our cisco.
How do I limit broadcast/mulitcast traffic on a switchport to e.g. 5000 pps ? I don't want the port to shut down, just block or drop broadcast traffic that exceeds 5000 pps.
i want use CACTI for monitor my bandwidth so i have a question how can i enable snmp for a switch port ? or i shoudl just enable snmp from configuratiopn terminal and then in CACTI i will choose which port will be monitor? can i do something that CACTI connect to my switch with a encryption key ? i have cisco 2960 48 port switch
In my network we use all cisco 2960 switches, problem is when someone copying 4gb data or high from one switch to another switch, by that time rto (Request time out) is coming.
router | | |
[Code]....
1. when user 1 copy data from server ,at that time who is in switch2 behind like user2 ,he is getting problem like when ping to default-gateway,or rto is coming and network is very slow .
2. when i open sw2,sw1,sw3,trunk ports utilization is very high except sw4 to sw1 trunk ports,who behind sw4 like user4 ,he is not getting problem.
3.all switches trunkport in my network is faster ethernet and i have no option to connect trunkport to gigaehternet and ethernet channel.
Is there a way to identify if a switch port is burned via CLI? I have a 2960-48PST switch and some ports don't provide power to a PoE device connected. When I change the port, the device turns on.
Is it possible to obtain a replacement rackmount kit for a 2960 48 port switch? I've had a read of the manuals but can't see a part number specified. The part number suggested to me (by BT) is for the 8 port version, which is not much use.
I need to configure a Cisco 2960 switch as a DHCP server. The current IP address will be on a different seed than the DHCP addresses. i.e.
Switch IP = 10.1.2.3, GW = 10.1.2.1, Subnet = 255.255.255.0 DHCP addresses would be 192.168.1.1 - 200, GW=???? (10.1.2.3?) and subnet would be 255.255.255.0
2960 switch stack (flex) Spanning tree re-calculate from stack port one?I need to identify with port in the stack is causing the re-calc I have four 48 port switches and show spanning detail only indicates stack port 1.
I'm working with two Catalyst 2960 switches and I would like to know if there is a way to monitor bandwidth on individual ports. Ideally I would like to have one graph showing a bandwidth usage reading on each port. I tried using the Network Assistant to accomplish this, but I was only able to view one port at a time. I also tried using a traffic graphing program from Paessler, but a MIB file is needed to allow the program to connect to the switch. When I ran a search on the network management page the 2960 was not on the list for MIB supported products. Is this type of graph possible to do?
I have the requirement to assign an asymmetric bandwith limit to each port on a switch (example: 4Mbps downlink, 1Mbps uplink). I've been searching and found the option to apply policers or srr-queue mechanism to achive this, however this only applies for one direction only as far as I know. Catalyst 2960 familiy is preferred, however if this is not possible, will possibly jump to the 3560X family.
