Cisco Switching/Routing :: Catalyst 4506 Choosing Appropriate SFPs

Mar 25, 2013

My inherited network has a Cisco Catalyst 4506 with a WS-X4124FX–MT fiber card that connects to twelve Cisco 2950 switches over 62.5 micron multimode fiber at 100 Mbps. I do not know my run lengths (or even where the conduits run), but the furthest switches are well over a thousand feet from the server room. Any appropriate test equipment to provide this information soon.

We are looking at upgrading the main switch to a Catalyst WS-C4507+E with two WS-X4712-SFP+E cards and the closets to Cisco 2960S-48TD-L switches. Assuming this is a reasonable move, my question is about choosing the appropriate SFP’s for our current and future needs.

I am aware that 62.5 micron multimode fiber is the least favorable for extended lengths, but I will not be in a position to replace it for at least a year. If I purchase 10 Gbps modules, like the SFP-10G-SR or SFP-10G-LRM, can they “throttle down”, either automatically or by setting a parameter, to communicate at slower speeds over distances that exceed their 10 Gbps maximum link lengths on multimode fiber?

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Catalyst 4506 / Routing For Internal And Guest Network

Dec 19, 2011

I am implementing a guest wireless network to work alongside my internal network. The guest network will use the existing switching network and will be separated by VLANs. I have the ASA set so that traffic can get to it and out to the Internet. I can set up a workstation on the same VLAN as my guest network and can route inside my network (strictly doing this for testing purposes). Where I am having problems is with the Catalyst 4506 switches and the ip routing. I had two separate "ip route" statements defined on my switches.
 
ip route 10.200.2.0 255.255.255.0 10.200.2.254
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.100.100.254
 
I have discovered that the traffic is always following the default route despite the fact that my IP address on my test workstation falls in the 10.200.2.x network.  I was looking at documentation and found that it is possible to set up policy-based routing on the core switches. Can you have two "ip route" statements defined like this to segreate traffic or do I have to use PBR for routing (or a combination) in this case? If I define PBR then how does that impact my existing routing? I need to make sure that I can still route the existing traffic while I'm configuring this change.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Catalyst 4506 - Default Gateway Doesn't Work

Oct 26, 2011

We have a Cisco Catalyst 4506 running: "Cisco IOS Software, Catalyst 4000 L3 Switch Software (cat4000-I9K91S-M), Version 12.2(25)EWA14, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)" I have configured the default gateway as: ip default-gateway X.Y.116.65, However, when I do, "show ip route", it only shows the 3 connected networks and states "Gateway of last resort is not set". The Command "ip classless" is not set. I read on some blogs that this might explain the issue. However, when I go into config mode (config t), I get the following output.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: HP SFPs In 2k Nexus Switches

Cisco Switching/Routing :: 3750X-24 - SFPs In SFP+ Position Not Working

Mar 22, 2012

We have bought four Cisco 3750X-24 Switches with IP Base license for 2 offices (2 switches at each office). The offices are connected with 1 fiber pair and 2 CWDM units. We have 6 CWDM SFP (2x 1470nm, 2x 1490nm and 2x 1510nm). All the switches are up and running with 1 problem: the SFP's in the SFP+ position didn't work.

Only the gigabit port 1/1/1 and 1/1/3 are connected. Gigabit 1/1/2 stay disconnected. I already did some test with other SFP's and labels. Do I need to disable the ten gig ports in the configuration?

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Does CVR-X2-SFP10G Converter Support 1000Base-T SFPs

Jun 14, 2012

[URL]
 
To do that I would like to be able to sniff the traffic traversing our 7k. However, as the 7k doesn't support remote span we have to span locally. This means that I have to connect a pc to the Nexus and sent the span output to that port. However, our 7K is only equipped with N7K-M108X2-12L modules, which contains X2 10G ports. I found the CVR-X2-SFP10G X2 to SFP+ convertor module, but I wonder whether this supports a 1G copper SFP. If it doesn't it would be wasteful to buy one. On the page concerning the module I only found 10G fiber sfp's which are supported.

Cisco Wireless :: Catalyst 4506 / 2960 - WAP4410N Mac Address Changes?

Feb 1, 2013

I'm having a weird issue with a dozen WAP4410N we just bought : The MAC address assigned to them (i.e. the one printed on the products body) apparently changes for no reason (that I can understand anyway).
 
I noticed this because I assigned static leases to them through our isc-dhcpd, and couldnt connect to them via their supposed IP address. Looking at the log I could see that the MAC was slightly different from the printed one : A4:93:4C:B1:91:56 became A2:93:4C:B1:91:57,2C:54:2D:38:E5:AA became 2A:54:2D:38:E5:AB, etc.
 
If I reboot them either from the web interface or by doing a 'shut no shut' on the POE link, they sometimes revert to the original MAC address. Sometimes not, with yet another slight variation on the MAC address.
 
While not a real issue - I can still make their IP static and be done with it - I want to understand what is happening and why. All the WAP4410N are connected to either Catalysts 4506 or 2960, VLAN is enabled, Default VLAN ID is not default, VLAN Tag is set to 'Untagged' and VLAN Tag over WDS is set to 'Disabled'. All 4410N are running '2.0.5.3' firmware.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: 4506 Resilient Routing Design With OSPF

Aug 27, 2012

We have 2 sites, each with 2 x 4506 switches which will be connected togther using an etherchannel. The switches will provide access ports for client devices and will be configured with HSRP to provide gateway redundancy. SW1 will be HSRP active.2 metro ethernet links will be installed in each site which will connect back to our HQ sites. OSPF will be used over the backbone to provide resiliency and to allow shortest path routing to each HQ and to prevent traffic over the HQ to HQ link.

The 4506 will be trunked togther with an SVI for providing OSFP adjacency.For the traffic flow from SW2 to HQ2, traffic will hit SW1 and then route back to SW2 and then to HQ2. Is this the best way to do this? Should a second link be connected between switches just for routing or should something like GLBP be used?

Cisco Switching/Routing :: 4506 Connecting Switches Together With IP Routing

Aug 31, 2012

CiscoSwitch1(4506) has 3 VLANs(12,13,14) and Switch2(4948) has 3 different VLANs(22,23,24) and IP routing has been enabled in both switches with SVI interfaces for each vlan. intervlan routing is works fine.Now there is a requirement to connect these switches together. Vlan 12 on the Cisco switch 4506 has to be made available from vlan 22 from Switch2(4948).  basically Vlan 12 is having a multicast source (225.0.0.0 & 226.0.0.0) which should be accessabile from vlan 22 of  cisco switch 4948.I got 2 ideas

1)  Create a trunk between these switches and configure L2 vlan(12) in cisco 4948...i know theoritically it should work but what my concern is Ip routing enabled in both switches will it create any issues? is it a gud solution to this requirement?

2) Create a separate IP network on the ports connecting to both switches and set up routes to the networks.ex- console(config)#ip route 192.168.10.10 255.255.255.0 192.168.20.1.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: 4506 / 6506 - Multicast Routing

Mar 8, 2013

I am configuring multicast in a environment where I have a 4506 at each site (4 total) and a 6506 as the core. Each 4506 is connected via layer 3 to the 6506. I have a mix of 3560s, 3548s, and 2960s connected to the 4506s and the 6506 via layer 2 trunk
 
I have multiple multicast sources and hosts communicating at a time (multiple cameras sending video / multiple computers receiving video).  So this is not a scenario where there is 1 sender and many receivers.  This would be many senders (~50) and some receivers (~10)
 
Sample Diagram:
 
->3560
|
6506 --> 4506 --> 3548
|   |
|    --> 2960
|
4506 --> 2960
|
-->3548
 
I configured ip multicast-routing on each of the 4506s and on the 6506. IGMP snooping is on by default on the 3560 and 2960 switches. CGMP is on by default on the 3548 switches.
 
I set up PIM sparse-dense mode and IGMP version 3 on each of the layer 3 interfaces for the 4506s and 6506 where they connect and on each VLAN that is sending or receiving multicast. Multicast is working throughout the network, however I am looking to verify the configuration as I scale this out to more clients on the network. 
 
#1 - Is it correct to us sparse-dense mode in this configuration?
 
#2 - Do I need to configure a rendezvous points using AUTO-RP? (ip pim send-rp-announce INTERFACE scope TTL). Not sure here if I need to designate this and what to choose.  Right now I do not have this and it is working, but documentation seems to infer that I need to designate this.
 
#3 - Is there any other configuration settings I should be considering?  I hard to find real world configurations of multicast as examples or people that know multicast routing well.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: PXE Failing With DHCP On 4506?

Jun 11, 2012

We are attempting to PXE boot from clients obtaining their DHCP lease information from DHCP pools configured on our 4506.  The PXE server, and the client are configured in separate VLANs.  We have configured option 66 to point to the PXE server IP address, and the bootfile option to point to the PXE boot configuration filename.  On the client side SVI, we also have configured the ip helper-address command to point to the PXE server (which also acts as another DHCP server for redundancy).
 
The PXE boot continuously fails stating it is unable to find the configuration file.  If we remove the DHCP pool from the 4506, and allow the client to receive their DHCP lease info from the secondary server (Windows 2k8 - same server as PXE server), they PXE boot with no issues.
 
We have no problem obtaining DHCP info, just completion of the PXE process.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: 4506 Switch Is Not Booting With New IOS

Apr 7, 2012

Yesterday I've faced a Problem that is not letting me boot with the new IOS.
 
Actually I'm planning upgrade IOS which supports SSH. As part of plan I've downloaded the new IOS image and uploaded via TFTP server to the switch.
 
After uploading to the switch. I've verified image and MD5 hash also. Everthing is fine. Then after I set the boot variable for the newly uploaded Image.
 
 
When I'm rebooting the Device it is not taking the new IOS. It's booting with the OLD image. Even It's not showing any error message while rebooting (ACTIVITY FILE ATTACHED FOR YOUR REFERENCE) I can't take risk by deleting the old IOS.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Restricting Mac Addresses On 4506 Switch

May 14, 2013

We want to permit certain mac addresses on the cat 4506 switch wherein only those mac addresses will get access to network.
 
Configuration Planned: For testing purpose we have created mac access list on cat 4506 and deny laptop mac address in this access list. The mac access group is applied to the port where the laptop is connected to cat 4506.Even after applying the mac access group on the port, the laptop is able to ping the vlan ip of cat 4506 [code]
 
laptop with ip address 192.168.10.2/24 connected to port 2/1 is able to ping 192.168.10.1 even after applying the mac access-group
 
Note-we have tested same configuration on cat 3560 and its working fine. We apply the mac access-group command on interface and clear the arp-cache and we are not able to ping vlan interface ip. The moment we remove the mac access-group,ping starts again.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: 4506 - Cannot Manage One Switch Via Network

I can access switch 1 and 2 using telnet from the management vlan and both switches reply to pings. But from switch 1 or 2 I cannot ping or telnet switch 3. If I plug into switch 3 and I can ping and telnet switch 3 but not switches 1 or 2.
 
It is as if the management vlan 4 is not being passed to/from switch 1 and 3. The configs for the uplinks from switch 1 to 2 and 3 are the same. And the configs for switches 2 and 3 look the same apart from the port settings.
 
I have over 40 vlans running all that work fine between all the switches.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: 4506 - Interface Access-list

Nov 14, 2011

I have one computer connected to the 4506 that management does not want this PC to have access to anything on our network except our DHCP server and the one printer that resides on our network.  I created an extended access list as follows.  Our network is the 10.10.x.x and the external addresses the PC needs to access is 11.1.x.x.  Once this PC is rebooted, it is unable to access DHCP to get the needed IP address it bounces back to a 169.x.x.x address and stops working.
 
Extended IP access list 2000
permit tcp host 10.10.200.242 host 11.1.200.1                           (gateway)
permit tcp host 10.10.200.242 host 11.1.2.151 eq smtp              (access from the pc to external server for smtp)
permit tcp host 10.10.200.242 host 11.1.2.149 eq 5721              (access from the pc to external server for remote access)

Then I applied the access-group 2000  on the interface the PC is connected to. What am I missing for DHCP to work and for this PC to always get the ip address that is reserved?
