I have 7 POE switches that have ESI IP phones attached. I have two VLANS, 1 and 2. VLAN 2 is used for voice and is defined in each switch.The ESI IP phones connect to my POE switch ports and the pc attaches through the ESI IP phone.
I have had voice quality issue between floors in my building. Talking to others on my floor via the IP phone, there are no voice quality issues. [code]
A site that i am responsible for has the following equipment installed:
2 x 3750G Switches configured as a stack using Stackwise - Collapsed Core/Distribution Layer
5 x 2960G Switches as Access Layer switches
WAN connections into the Core/Distribution Layer are all Gigabit Ethernet over Fibre.This is a dedicated CCTV Network with 50 Cameras all streaming video into the Core (decoders connected to access switches)Each 2960G has 2 links to the Core/Distribution 3750G Switches, 1 to each switch - Gigabit.I'm running rapid-pvst on all switches, so spanning tree is blocking one of the ports and effectively halving the 2 gig bandwidth. Next year our customer is going to add in a further 50 - 60 cameras.After monitoring the current loading on the ports in use, we have suggested to the customer that the 2 connections to each should be Ether-channeled together. [code]
First interface takes commands no problem, keep getting the message that etherchannel cannot be configured across different switches in a stack when i try to put the second interface commands on.
I have used all the ports on my 24 port 2960G and need to extend it with another 2960G. These switches do not have trunk ports so what is the best way to stack them and have all 5 vlans on both switches.Can I just use a port Channel trunk etherchannel ?

Configuring OSPFv2 on a Nexus 5K switches, after configuring area 0 or area 10 it shows as 0.0.0.0 or 0.0.0.10 instead, I'm planning to uplink a couple of ASAs with OSPF enabled, just wondering if the area format showing will be a problem, is this how is supposed to look in the Nexus 5K? and will the 5K be able to form adjacensies with other non-Nexus devices that have area 0 and 10?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've been conducting research on configuring 3 distribution switches in my network which are Cisco Catalyst 4507's to communicate with our core over layer 3. Our core switch which is already configured at Layer 3 for intervlan routing is a Cisco Catalyst 6509.
I've got the configuration portion complete and all devices are able to communicate my only question is about QoS. Do I have to configure QoS at the layer 3 interfaces for voice, if so how is that completed. We have several vlans and separate the vlans for each building by voice and data. We only configure ports on the access switches with voice vlans for QoS and we use the auto qos option on these interfaces.
one of our switches (WS-C2960G-24TC-L). When I try to turn on the lanbase-routing feature using sdm prefer lanbase-routing, it gives me an error (Unknown command). I tried "sdm prefer ?", and lanbase-routing wasn't there (only qos, default and dual IPv4 & IPv6). The switch is running on image C2960-LANBASEK9-M version 12.2(50)SE5.We have another switch (WS-C2960S-24TS-L), running on image C2960S-UNIVERSALK9-M version 12.2(55)SE5, and I can enable lanbase-routing feature. If I upgrade the WS-C2960G-24TC-L to version 12.2(55)SE5, will it be able to do inter-vlan routing? Or is the switch itself totally limited to VLAN configuration only?

I am now trying to upgrade those switches with the new release, 15.0(1)SE3, however I seem unable to do it, I have tried this on two switches so far, both have been upgraded to SE2 just a couple months ago or so, and both of them will not accept the SE3 upgrade, basically, I can select the tar file in the web browser and click "Upgrade" but when I do the status never changes from "Loading the tar file to the switch". I have tried multiple times from multiple computers using many different web browsers, including IE6 which is listed as supported. I have let it go for as long as 1.5 hours but to no avail.I also had a few idential switches here that had never been upgarded to SE2, I have had no problems loading SE3 onto them using the same method so it would seem that the tar file I have downloaded is valid.

I recently changed jobs and at the new location we are primarily running Catalyst 2960G series switches with the exception of one 3750. All of the switches are setup in a cluster with the 3750 being the cluster master. My question is what is the benefit of switch clustering? The entire network seems to be a bit over engineered for the our needs and I am hoping to scale it back a bit. For example, the the network was setup with VOIP QoS when there were no plans to even use VOIP. Also what procedures would I want to follow to disable the cluster to avoid any major outages? Assuming there is no real need for a cluster.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to decide what switch to use as a core for 500 users. I'm currently looking at either 2 x 3750X stacks or 2 x 4500s with dual SUPs and PSUs, both options will provide the number of switchports required without the need for additonal access layer swiches. Which switch option is best to go for here? All of our services will be located in our data centre which will be connected using 2 1000Mbps MPLS circuits. I wont need any advanced L3 features and we are not likley to scale over 450 users. Also is it ok to use the dual switch stacks or chassis to provide the collapsed core/access layer or is it best to have a dedicated core (using one of the above options with less switchports) and having a dedicated accesss layer using 2960Gs for example. Our structured cabling terminates in a single comms room so we wont need to distribute switches throughout the office.

I am unable to configure an interface using the "ip igmp filter <profile #>" command on a 2960G running 12.2(58)SE2. The switch allows me to create a profile using the "ip igmp profile <profile #>" global configuration command. It also lets me enable filtering with the global "ip igmp filter" command (which I didn't see in the documentation). But, the command is not accepted when configuring an interface. "ip igmp ?" does not even show "filter" as a valid auto-complete when in configure interface mode, and the command is rejected if I try to enter it.
I verified the command worked on a much earlier version of IOS, so it must have broken somewhere along the line. I'm wary of moving up to 15.0(1)SE. Is that a major IOS change?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a requirement to monitor downstream data feed from a remote site and feed it to multiple destination devices for recording. The source data will be fed into a port on a Cisco 2960G switch then, using the monitor function, be forwarded to multiple interfaces. This works fine for normal Etherent II traffic. We tried a test using a device that generates IEEE 802.3 Raw packets ('type' field is used as a 'length' field) but found that while the traffic appeared to be accepted by the input port with no errors it was not forwarded to the destination ports, even when using the monitor function. I did try the 'encapsulation replicate' feature with no luck. It does not forward these packets even if I set all the ports into a common VLAN and let the switch just perform a normal switch function (non monitor).
if it is possible to get the IEEE 802.3 raw packets to pass through the switch and if it is, how to or what I need to do to make it work?

I have 3 2960g switches that each have about 40 devices (pc's, printers, etc..) attached to them. Each of these 2960 switches has one port connected to a port on a "core" switch, which is a 3950g. The 3950 has 3 switches and all of our servers (12) conected to it's ports. The network seems to be running alright, however most, if not all, of the port lights on ALL switches blink wildly(at least I consider it "wildly"). Am I doing this wrong? Is there a better way to connect all these switches?Also, this configuration is for our first floor. The second floor has the exact same configuration, and the two 3950's (one upstairs, one downstairs) arec connected via fiber.

View 6 Replies View RelatedWe run a network of several 2960G and 3650G switches in a network with a number of VLANs. One one particular VLAN (let's call it VLAN 10) it appears that non-broadcast traffic (i.e. normal unicast traffic) is being copied to every port in VLAN 10 only on one switch . The traffic is not crossing trunk ports and does not appear on other switches that have ports in VLAN 10. We first spotted this by noticing that a UPS port had an unusual amount of activity on our port througput graphs:
This traffic at 4 am is not expected and this profile is repeated across all ports in VLAN 10 on this switch (a WS-C2960S-48TD-L stack running IOS 15.0(1)SE3)\iffed one port using local SPAN (the UPS port) and discovered that this traffic was not broadcast, which was running at a normal low rate at all times. The traffic appeared to be unicast traffic from other ports of the sort you might see on a hub. It was from various hosts that live on VLAN 10, most (not all) of the conversations had one end station homed on the 'problem' switch. There are about 800 non-broadcast packets per hour and this is a busy VLAN so it does not account for all the traffic on the VLAN.
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."

How can I check the username and password for access with the browser?

I just got a Cisco 2960G 24-port gigabit switch so that our HP servers can have a Gigabit connection to the network. I moved 2 servers to it (HP Proliant DL380's) but they don't actually seem to be able to achieve even close to 1000Gbps. I ran same some LAN bandwidth tests and it was showing only around 200-300 Mbps between all of them. I also ran a network stress test utility, LAN Tornado, and it was showing packet loss as high as 60% when on gigabit, and only .07% when on 100Mbps.
-Both the NIC's and the switch ports are set to 1000/Full
-Currently using Cat5e cabling no more than 25Ft in length (I know Cat6 would be better but Cat5e is supposed to support Gigabit)
-All servers are on the same VLAN
Here are the port statistics when running just a stress test @ 10Mbps that had a 45% packet loss. What's odd though is when I set the servers and switches to 100Mbps, I get less than 1% packet loss.

I am working in Private IT company. The facility is having 4000 users and it is a high resliency site having two core switches and nearly 40 access switches. All core and access switches are 4506E switches and odd vlan is taking core-1 and even vlan is core-2. We are having cisco ip phones 6921 connected as daisy chain.( Phone is connected to access switch and the desktop is connected to ip phones). The Ip phone are getting registered cisco call maneger server. The call manager one leg is connected to one core switch and another one is core 2 same like my DHCP server.
For all vlans the the default gateway is my firwall. The voice needs to hit the call manager, hence we have implemented a source routing to call manager for the voice vlans. the problem is once we down the Core-1 some of the IP phones are not getting registered no matterit is on odd or even vlan. The same issue for Core-2. We suspect that there might be some issue in the DHCP server for voice vlan routing. But server team is saying that there is no issue with the DHCP server.Now network is vulnerable that if any core switch is down my voice ip phones will be down.
I have some Catalyst 3560 PoE switches running the latest 12.2(50)SE1 image. I have a working configuration for STP, QoS, Voice & Access VLANs, Port-Security & IGMP snooping - I stress this is working PERFECTLY. Now I have been playing with wired 802.1x port authentication for a while which again I have sucessfully deployed on ports without IP Phones. I did some more testing with 802.1x clients behind some Cisco IP Phones and after understanding the issues and workarounds I thought I had a working environment. The environment is XP SP3 with the new separate wired 802.1x supplicant, workstations are all in a 2003 AD Domain and the wired 802.1x settings are configured through group policy. I had issues with Windows Server 2003 SP2 not working behind IP Phones but this I put down to the supplicant being different from the new one in XP SP3. MS don't have any plans for Server 2003 SP3 (or XP x64 SP3?) nor can I find any hotfixes to resolve this so it's a 'caveat'.Anyway I have tested this many times and with XP SP3 and the new supplicant it all seems to work well (only the access VLAN is using 802.1x Authentication, I am not authenticating the IP Phones via 802.1x).
Now today it stopped working and 802.1x clients behind the 7970 IP Phones no longer authenticate. I have spent an hour or so looking at this and the IOS is the same, as is the configuration on the IAS (Radius) server, as are the XP clients. I was scratching my head a bit and then looked at the IP Phone - the software on the phone has been upgraded to 8.5(2) - previously it was 8.4(4). I managed tp downgrade the software via CUCM to 8.4(4) and it now works. I have retested it several times so this is obviously an issue (either a new feature or a bug?) with the latest code for the 7970. I have checked and it's the same codebase for all the latest IP Phones - 7906, 7911, 7931, 7941, 7942, 7945, 7961, 7962, 7965, 7970, 7971 & 7975 which was released on 1st June. I have looked through the release notes and EAP-FAST has been added but this is an update to the EAP supplicant on the phone and not a feature of the 802.1x pass-thru from the attached device. I can find no other 802.1x or EAP references.
We are facing problem with Cisco IP phones which are connected to module WS-X4248-RJ45V.Phones are getting restarted and sometimes phones will not take power.Initially we suspected issue with power consumption, but we have enough power in the module.

When I plug a small unmanaged switch into a 3560 port and then plug the Polycom phone into the unmanaged switch powering the phone with a power adapter, the phone works correctly.
