I'm using a Catalyst 4948. It seems to drop all truncated packets. I don't know whether this is an expected behavior.I'm developing a program which processes packets in the following steps:
1) capture packets
2) if a packet is too long, truncate it to a certain length
3) insert a vlan tag (say 100) to each packet
4) send them to the switch
Mac address learning is disabled on the vlan 100, so the packets should be seen at all ports of the vlan. However, I only observed untruncated packets. Truncated packets seemed to be dropped by the switch.The summary of the source port is:
Almost no packets were output.I see a Cisco document says "ingress port drops corrupted packets" [URL] then my questions are:
1) Is this the root cause of dropping truncated packets?
2) What criteria does a switch use to check corrupted packets? My understanding is that truncated packets could have wrong L3 and L4 data, but they can't be detected at L2.
3) If switch drops mal-format packets, can we disable this feature?
why the QoS deployment causes ports on 2960 switches to drop packets although there is no bandwidth contension? (output bit/second of the interface)packet drops at threshold 1, queue 2 ( queue 3 in config)
We are using Catalyst 2960 switches and are experiencing issues with QoS. After the QoS, we experience a lot of packet drops and it make the network slow. It appears that the slow performance relates to the egress queuing of each port.

I describe an issue when i need to performe an L2 or L3 Etherchannel from a Catalyst 4948 IOS Enterprise and 2 xCatalyst 6506E bandled with VSS.
From the VSS Side when i plug cables i see on the physicals and Etherchannel that Physical and protocole layer are up. On the 4948 side, I see that physical layer is up and protocol and Etherchannel interfaces are down.
On the Etherchannel port summary i see that the port state is supended.
On the first attempt, i have test with a L3 etherchannel on both side using no switchport with two IP addresses one at each side on etherchannel interfaces.
The etherchannel are bundled with LACP mode active and on the second attempt with PAGP mode ON.
The same configured on VSS 6506E work fine with Catalyst 3560E.
I have got a new 48port Cisco catalyst 4948 switch, which I configured as a VTP client and connected to Cisco 3750 which is a VTP Server (this switch is on production network). I connected port g1/0/48 from 3750 to port g1/48 on 4948 through a straight cable and made both ports as trunk port (I also tried through cross cable). The problem is these two switches are not detecting. For testing I connected a PC directly to one of the port on 4948 (making that a switch port) still the LED on switch didn’t glow up. Is there any special command needs to be run on 4948 switches to activate its physical ports?
We are running a small network business and as funs of ciscos we own a some of the 4948s.We are facing an issue with couple of them as we get the below error message
C4K_CHASSIS-3-INSUFFICIENTPOWERSUPPLIESDETECTED:Insufficient power supplies present for specified configuration
First thought to replace the power supply didn't actually work as we did that with no result.Power consumption is not an issue as well because all other 4948s work fine with 1 power supply (forgot to mention is 1 power supply in all of them).
I want to choose a pair of switches for our data center.What I need: 48 x 1GE access ports, 2 x 10GE uplink ports.Nice feature of 3750-X is stacking. So what features has 4948-10GE? Why I should prefer that switch?
we have multiple Video production networks, with Video servers (AVID Unity ISIS) connected by 10GE fiber links to 4948-10GE switches. On almost every of these switches, I see more or less "Sequence-Err" interface errors. We do not currently have a known problem because this, and no other errors are seen. But I would like to understand the error, and therefore I would like to find out, what a sequence error means, what the cause is, and what the impact (to a frame) is?
By the way, it is well-known that the ISIS Video server does generate very excessive UDP data bursts. Maybe this matters? On Cisco doc I did not find an answer. The document "Troubleshooting Switch Port and Interface Problems" does unfortunately not refer to "sequence-err".

I have some Ethernet-connected cameras that all have the same Ethernet MAC address FF:FF:FF:0A:0A:0A. They were originally designed to directly connect to a Windows PC, but they can also connect through a simple unmanaged switch.A Catalyst 3560 switch won't forward packets to or from anything with that MAC address, at least not by default. Is there a way to convince the switch to do so?
It was my hope to replace the dedicated connections we have for these cameras with a separate VLAN for each camera, and switch them through our existing switch network. Given that all of the cameras use the same MAC address, putting them on the same network is out of the question, but different VLANs, where the only two devices on each VLAN were the camera and the PC that uses it, would be fine.
The switches run IOS 12.2(55) SE through SE3. I learned the camera MAC address from the PC's ARP table while the camera software runs; it turns out the cameras don't have a full IP stack either and don't even do ICMP.
I have a Catalyst Switch that is been used as a SAN switch providing ISCSI connection for servers.The total output drops of the interfaces connected to the SAN and some connected to the servers keep increasing.

One of my Catalyst 3750 switch have many out drops, I execute "sh mls qos int g2/0/3 statist" command, there are many output drops in queue3 threshold3. [code]
Having an issue with two Cat 2940, they have fiber 100Base-TX. Added a new Cat switch (the second on the VLAN), the existing Cat switch drops the fiber connection.
We're having kind of a problem with our Catalyst 4507r switches. If we do a "show interface" command we're getting a lot of "Total output drops" on some of our interfaces. It seems to be most of the time on the same vlan.I was wondering if it has got something to do with QOS or queue selection As we don't have any QOS markings configured, is it possible that all traffic is using only one of the four tx queue's?
I cannot boot IOS, when i reload this switch it go to ROMMON. I try to uploand IOS but it still has problem. i think i may wrong some point during i did uploand.
My cisco 4948 switch is generating the below error,how do i troubleshoot this error.

I am updating the iOS for a 4948 the bootflash is empty so all i can get into is the rommon. There is no option for x-modem. How can I put the iOS onto this device? [code]
We had to transport one of our 4948 10 GE to another Data Centre and when we got it there and tried to power up its System Status LED was red and we cannot even get console to the device.
We can try to see if the switch is completely dead and needs replacing or is there something we can do to get it back up and running again?
We purchased two new 4948 with two 10GE uplink ports and upgraded the devices to run IOS 15. My 6506 is running Sup 720 with s77233-adventerprisek0_wan-mz.122-33.SXI9. Currently we have 4948's connected to the same 6506's with no problems. Today I tried to add the new switches with new IOS and it caused of of my 6506 core switches to failover. I can't explain why because it was close to start of business and couldn't do much troubleshooting. Currently we have four 4948 (running IOS 12.2(14) switches running Layer2 connecting dually to each of the two 6506 cores via 10GE fiber uplinks. I tried to add two more to the scenario, again running layer2 and dual-honing them to each of te 6506 switches. there are two 6506 core switches and they run HSRP and spanning tree is manually set to give priority to even vlans on one 6506 and odds on the other 6506. Also the new switches I tried to add did had rootguard applied as well as the uplinks.
We have to get this working and have no test environment to work with. We need to do this late this evening after close of business.
On another note, I have had problems upgrading some of my older 4948's to IOS 15. I followed Cisco's suggestion and upgraded the EPROM first and then the IOS upgrade took on three of the switches that were ordered rather recently. The four that were ordered in one batch will not take the upgrade even following Cisco's instruction and lots of other tricks. Nothing works. Having problems with IOS 15, in general?
I am planning to upgrade Cisco 4948 IOS upgrade. We have few with older code( 12.2(25)EWA7), when issue sh version shows as Catalyst 4000 L3 Switch Software. while newer version of the switch show as Catalyst 4500 L3 switch.
1 Is this/(sh ver output) just because of the Older code ? My 2 question is according to release note : [URL]
You need to upgrade your ROMMON before the IOS . 2 What is the approximate time it take to do this ROMMON upgrade ?
I have 4948E module switch at customer site and below is the show version output. Image on the switch is not supporting 'AUTO QoS' as i need to enable Auto Qos on it to prioritize Voice traffic. Which image supports Auto QoS feature . Image should have L3 functionality also i mean it should support Routing protocols. I tried to enable auto QoS using by configuring "QoS' globally but no luck...with existing image.

I'm connecting the two devices above and I need an LC to SC fiber cable. It should be pretty simple but I've seen two different types of LC/SC cables - one is 8.3/125 and one is 62.5/125. I believe the 62.5 is an older cable type but when looking at the detail sheets for each of the SFPs I see that both of these support a 62.5 or 50 micron core size.
I am trying to setup the management vrf on the 4948 10GE so that my TACACS requests will use that vrf for out-of-band purposes. The vrf is working properly because I can ping the TACACS server using the vrf but the logins do not work. I see this error in the tacacs debug:
TPLUS(00000016)/0: Connect Error No route to host
Looking at the release notes, it states that my version (12.2.54 SG1) does support vrf aware tacacs but the documentation seems to be a bit off because i do not get a server private command option as stated in the configuration doc after configuring a tacacs server group:

Here is my config:

In my setup , i have one core switch 4506, 3750 access switches and 4948 server switch.i have created the mngmt VLAN in every switch.the problem is i can ping the every device mngmt ip from any internal network,but my server switch mngmt ip i am not able to ping.trunk link is configure between the core and server,access switches.What is the problem with 4948 switch?
We have Cisco 4948 switches running in production. We want to moniter the trunk link through SNMP.If trunk link fails SNMP need to send notification to server.
ive updated my catalyst 4948-10GE to version 15.0(2)SG1.Now it is not possible to login by ssh or telnet on this switch. the access is established over the mgmt-Interface and vrf.i get a ping reply but login is no more possible now.is there an new feature in this version for vrf or remotelogin that has to be configured? if neccessary i can paste the running-config here.
Does anybody know the Maximum Throuput of a Csico 4948 using its Layer 3 capability? Is it 72mpps for Cisco 4948 and 102 mpps for Cisco 4948 10 Gigabitethernet?
I need to connect a 6500 switch with a 4948 switch using 10G optics. On 6500, line card used is WS-X6704-10GE and I am aware that WS-X6704-10GE is a xenpak and 4948 ports are X2. What is the way to make the connection between xenpak and X2 work?
I performed an upgraded on a 4948 switch and for some reason the switch kept booting with the old IOS. I was not sure if I needed to change the boot sequence but I performed this upgrade on some of our other 4948's and no issues.I eventually deleted the older IOS version and left the latest version on and reloaded switch and now switch only boots in rommon.I managed to configure the ip info and tftp server ip etc and using the following command as suggested in the rommon help, but it keeps coming back saying 'file not found', when I have checked the file does exist in the tftp server and in the tftpboot folder.
See error message below:

In my core Switch,there are 2 v LAN(V LAN 1 & V LAN 2)my switch is Cisco 4948,so be default ip routing is enable in it. My all servers (DHCP,HTTP,HTTPS) are in v LAN 1 & internet is also in v LAN 1.
My requirement is that v LAN 1 user should not communicate with the v LAN 2 and vice versa. But the v LAN 2 users need an access of all servers and internet which is in v LAN 1. How to configure the access-list. I have try on Packet tracer which i have attached.
note:v LAN 2 user should get the IP from dhcp server which is in vlan1.
