Cisco Switching/Routing :: Connecting Core Switch To Firewall 3750x
Apr 13, 2013
I have a 3750X four-switch stack acting as the core of a fairly simple LAN. All I need to achieve (and this seems inordinately hard, but it is entirely likely that I'm just being dense) is to get access to the internet through my core switch, through the firewall and out through my VSAT. I've spoken at some length with the firewall providers (Cyberoam) and they tell me all I need to do when I migrate onto my new system (Cyberoam is currently in place at the entrance to our existing LAN) is change the local IP address of the Firewall, plug in the new switch to the LAN port, and away I go. Tried that, didn't work, so obviously I'm missing something.

Two Cisco 3750X can be stacked together to ensure redundancy.Is the attached topology feasible for access layer redundancy?

we are replacing network equipment at one of our sites. The network will have 12, 3750X switches(6 stacks) - one stack will be the core. A 1002 will be the WAN router to the Main campus. The 1002 will connect to the core via 2 ethernet cables. I'm debating whether to use L3 or L2 between the router and Core. I've heard that routing is more efficient if L3 is used and also I will be able to create an L3 etherchannel between the 1002 and Core switch. See the attached doc.

i cant find any difference in these two devices when i am trying to compare throughput.I need upgrade our new POP and there will be around 4900 MAC adresses in VLAN 150 and 130 MAC adresses in vlan 200.Uplink is 1 gig routed internet connection and there is 14 downlinks to separate villages.i found a few differences for eg stack interface on 3750x but i dont need it.

At our site we have a 4510 core switch and 3750x switches in our IDFs. The 3750 switches are connected to the core via DOT1Q trunks in a server client setup. We are putting in an Informacast/Berbee server witch will send pages and text to the cisco phones. We also have 1 3750 switch connecting to the core via a layer 3 port channel. If we put the Informacast server on the phones vlan would I just need to enable ip pim sparse-dense mode on that vlan only and enable multicast routing, ip multicast routing?

I currently have 3 core switches on my campus. They are 6509 catalyst switches. They currently are not interconnected to each other.I want to interconnect them to each other. The IP addresses of each core sit on a interface Loopback500. [code] How can I interconnect each core to each other and what IP scheme could I use. I want them to be straight L3 to each other.

connecting a 5548 pair to our core 6509s. Just want to be sure we don't introduce any issues into the network.The 6509's are connected and perform all the routing. Essentially, we're moving away from a 3750 stack in the data center and the 5548s are the replacement. We'd want to limit the vlans to the specific server network vlans. Our current setup is a port channel between the 3750 and each of the 2 6509s for redundancy. I'd like to use the same functionality when we connect the 5548's but I'm looking for what the config should look like to ensure no spanning tree loops are introduced and that it is configured optimally.

I'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.

there are more than 15 servers which include xen,esx,vmware,also san etc..which are connected to L3 core switch directly. And vlans are created for each.....xen,iscsi,vmware,xen,server. wanted to know is there any other technology other than directly connecting servers to core switch and assigning vlans that can be used in place?

I am experiencing high cpu utilization in my 4000 series core switch.
I checked the loggs. i saw some strange loggs.
Please see the below logs:
Code...
What is the "invalidsourceaddresspacket" ?
Is this is due to some virus attack or something?? Also one more thing this switch is the Active router in HSRP.

I have a problem with extending the LAN on a client site . They are looking to extend the LAN with a 2960S-series switch. Already in place is a 4510 switch which the 2960 is connected to via fibre. The 2 switches are both set up but there is no connectivity as I cant ping between them or anything. The management VLAN on the 2960 shows line up, protocol down, which I believe means the VLAN is enabled but there is a form of physical mismtach on the ports. I have attached the configs of both switches. I feel it might be a problem with GBIC module compatibility. The SFP installed on both ends of the switch are GLC-SX-MMD. On the 4510, the SFP sits in a twingig converter (CVR-X2-SFP) but there is no light on it at all when the cables are plugged in.

We have two 6500 core switches and one(primary) of them is running in VTP transparesnt mode and the other (secondary) one is running in VTP client mode. I would like to change the VTP mode of the second switch to transparent mode. Would it cause any issue. I guess i have to create VLANs onto the switch.

I am planning to migrate the core switch from cisco 3750 to Cisco catalysts 6513 switch. What could be the best approach to minimize the downtime or avoid disrupting the production. I have couple of thoughts, one method is to build the core and then replace the existing core, another option is to build the new switch as the second VTP server and once it recieves all the VTP information then disconnect the old server.

We had a core switch(30 vlans) in our environment and it's noticed that CPU utilization of the core switch is showing high during recent days. I have checked logs and processes, but couldn't find the root cause. The issue found only in the office hourly only(after that the cpu utilization is idle and normal). I have already referred the following link to troubleshoot the issue " [URL]
see the following outputs from the core switch
CPU utilization for five seconds: 99%/0%; one minute: 99%; five minutes: 99%
PID Runtime(ms) Invoked uSecs 5Sec 1Min 5Min TTY Process
30 6687557041432420936 466 47.52% 47.10% 45.98% 0 Cat4k Mgmt LoPri
55 30667074884269560256 0 45.36% 45.50% 45.85% 0 IP Input
29 28552856922870089254 0 3.59% 3.50% 3.57% 0 Cat4k Mgmt HiPri
[code]....
Note: Each Invalid source mac entry in each day from same port (above is the output after clearing logs before 3 days)
My queries regarding the issues are following
1) How can we find root cause regarding the high cpu utilization?
2) Is a single invalid mac address makes the cpu highly utilized for suppressing it?

We have two core switches in our network (Cisco WS-4503). HSRP is working as Active-Standby mode. Recently it has been found that core 1 (which is in active mode) shown high CPU load (60% - 100%). Also found that the below mentioned process takes more CPU. Our network consist of around 30 Vlans. We have already checked for the solution in Cisco website [URL] but couldn't find exact reason. see the below outputs for core 1 switch.

i'm already has one internet connection is conecting directily to the Core Switch 6509, and the Switch is route any internet request with default route:
SW6509-conf)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.170.10.10
10.170.10.10 is --> Next hop for the DSL router internal IP, and it's working fine.
We have a new internet connection with another ISP/ with another DSL router, how to connect both of them to exit from the Core Switch 6509.
is it ok if i make another default route to the Next hop to the new DSL router as:
SW6509-conf)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.80.10.10
10.80.10.10 is --> Next hop for the new DSL router internal IP.

To setup SG300-20 as CORE switch and SF100-48 as Distribution switch.SG300-20 will have 2 VLAN(DATA and VOICE)
-192.168.14.1/24 DATA
-172.168.0.1/24 VOICE
SF100-48 will also have 2 VLAN(DATA and VOICE)
-192.168.14.1/24 Desktop/Laptops
-172.168.0.1/24 IP phones
Problem is when I tried to assign IP to any VLAN's the switch will just hang and loose my connection the light will stop blinking it will steady and i unable to access the switch until i turn off again?

We had a core switch(4503) in our environment and recently we tried to enable syslog in the switch. But the syslog server doesnt receives all the configured level messages from the switch. Following is the only message getting in syslog server after the configuration change in switch.
%SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by CWLMS onvty1
(No Traffic related messages like acl deny traffic, spanning tree events etc are getting to syslog server as well as log buffer of the switch)
Following are the logging configuration for the core switch
logging monitor informational
logging facility syslog
logging source-interface Vlan44
[Code]....
1) Is there any more configurations required for getting all traffic related messages, (i mean all possible messages - upto level 7 - debugging)?

It seems I have seen this before (and even done it once a few years ago).. but it has been a while. I have a stack with a Cisco 3750 stack that I have to replace a member.The replacement switch is a 3750X.
I think I have to upgrade the IOS of the older switch to be the same as the 3750X.
Current switch: WS-C3750G-48TS 12.2(46)SE
TO BE ADDED WS-c3570X-48 15.0 (1)SE2
It seems to me there was a way to upgrade the older switch IOS from the newer switch or downgrade the newer switch with the older IOS.I dont have the Cisco account to download updated IOSs.
