Cisco Switching/Routing :: Extending VPC Vlans Across Single Connected (into 7K) L2 Path?
Feb 19, 2012
Nexus infrastructure is pair of N7K switches, with dual homed 5K/2K devices connected, links use vPC. They want to extend vlan's from the 5K/2K side across a L2 path into another DC, this path is only connected into one of the N7K switches, call this 7K switch A.I'm concerned that packets from the 5K/2K side back to the remote DC could get dropped due to the vPC loop dectection process. If a packet from the 5K/2K side traverses the path into the same N7K (7K switch A) as the L2 extension, I dont see a problem. But, if the etherchannel load balance in the 5K sends traffic to the packet to N7K B, in order to get to the L2 path extension to the remote DC the packet gets forwarded across the vPC. My understanding is that this packet will get dropped by N7K A as its local L2 path to the remote DC is up, is this the case?I see a solution is to plug the L2 path into a 2K, but before I suggest this is my understanding of the loop detection process correct?

We have 20+ VLANs on our main network, we have an offsite connected by metro GIG fiber ethernet. Right now, we have a layer 2 connection to there with the core at the main site as the gateway. We have had problems occationaly with the metro ethernet's spanning tree which then we would see our own network and cause an outage, not only for the offsite, but since the VLAN would see itself (not on our equipment but the metro ethernet carrier's) it would effect the main network as well.
What I was going to do to resolve this was change the connection to a routed network, however I need to still send some VLANs over the routed network (there are some applications that require to be on the same subnet as the server). Is there a way to Map the Vlan 10, and 11 at the main site to a vlan 10, and 11 at the remote site using a routed network? I noticed there is something about bridging, would I bridge the VLAN accross the routed MAN connection? Then would I bridge back the other way as well?
Main site has a 6506E
and offsite has a 3750E

I would like to configure a 3750 switch port to be able to use two vlans. I know you can do this with a voice and data vlan, but what about two data vlans ? Say I have two devices, one on a 10 subnet and the other on a 172 subnet, but i only have one wall jack for both devices to plug into. So I use a mini switch to connect both devices and connect the switch to the wall jack; and of course this all leads back to one switch port. When I go to enter the switchport access vlan 172 cmd, how would I also make it so the device on the 10 subnet could route out ?

I am troubleshooting a fiber connectivity issue.Now I have two switches, one is 3750, and another is small biz 300 series switch. Both switch has a single mode smf gbic. Now I have two swtiches face to face and connect with a single mode cable. Do you think if I would get a link light on? Both ports are no shutdown.

our pair of Nexus 7000 are configured with RSTP.On the Edge-Switches we have seen an STP topology change in all connected vlans.On N7k the topology has also changed what we`ve only seen in the output of the stp details [code]
I like to configure a logging for topology changes, but i havn't found a command.
Is there an opportunity to get this logging-messages on n7k?

I've been looking into posibilities for extending a DMVPN (already implemented) with very small (1-2 user) remote locations over a single ISP link.I would like to use what is basically the smallest Cisco router that supports DMVPN and EIGRP (stub) - here's a sample configuration:I know that the 881 can accomplish the above without issues (if it has Adv IP Services as licensing).I would like to know if I can use the smaller routers (physically smaller, that is) for a similar configuration. Can the Cisco 819 router.URL provide the same functionality? What about the Cisco 866VAE router URl.

I've Cisco7609-S with IOS 12.2(33)SRC2 met an issue is that "show ip route x.x.x.x" and "show ip cef x.x.x.x" shown next-hop is not actual switched next-hop.
For example, "show ip route 192.168.1.1" and "show ip cef 192.168.1.1" shown correct next-hop is 10.1.1.1, but the traffic destine to 192.168.1.1 actually not through 10.1.1.1, but always through the default route next-hop. Everything works normal after rebooted the router. Suppose it should caused by a bug? BTW, my Cisco7609 is runing BGP with ISP which received about 10K routes.

I am currently working on a project which requires extending a VLAN over WAN. The equipment I currently possess are:
-2 CISCO 1720 Series Routers (1 Serial & 1 10/100 Ethernet per router)
-2 Paradyne DSL Modems (1 Serial & 1 RJ-11 per modem)
The two sites are about about 1 KM apart.Trunking between the two sites is not possible since:
- Maximum available length of CAT 5, 5e and 6 are 100m.
- Laying a Fiber Optic cable of any kind is not possible since the terrain is extremely rough and would not allow it. Also, there is no existing infrastructure to allow re-using of old Fiber Optic Cables.
- Using a Microwave Transmitter & Receiver did not work. Atmosphere is too humid and too dusty to allow it. A minor success was achieved but only limited to small ICMP packet exchange. Data transfer failed immediately.
I am well aware which routing protocols are used to achieve trunking and inter-VLAN routing. Also, I am also aware that this question might not have an answer because a router would BY DEFAULT not forward any packet to the WAN whose destination address is currently connected to its LAN. It would either drop the packet or just won't pay any attention to it.

For a simple 4x sites design for backup consolidation (3x sites connected to one central site), does the design in the attached JPEG make sense and is the configuration achievable using the specified parts?
Brief Explanation:
- Each site is to have servers with 2x 10Gb/s Ethernet (both teamed/bonded/etc) and one NIC on each of the 2x switches in the site (if possible). Each site will also have 2x Cisco Nexus 5596UP Switch (though the P version may be used instead of the UP).
- Two of the sites are within 10KM of the central site
- The last site is about 35KM from the central site
- It is required to have a minimum bandwidth of 10Gb/s between any site and the central site
- I have specified 10Gb/s LW SFP+ and 10Gb/s LW SFP+ (for the 2x 10KM and 1x 35KM sites)
- are there any special licenses needed?
- as asked before, can such a "simple" design work as-is?
- what sort of single-mode fiber would fit the bill (especially for the 40KM link) - 9nm?

I have a design hurdle that I cannot seem to cross. I have two sites and I need the same VLAN to span both sites. I have accomplished this using L2TP but my issue is that I can no longer assign a gateway for this VLAN on the router. The 2 routers are 2821's and are connected with a dedicated fiber run.
Ant recommendation for how this could be accomplished? It would be great if I could have the same gateway at both sites by leveraging some sort of bridged interface (BVI so I've heard) but I am at a loss as to where I should start with this. Also, this is not the only VLAN that needs to traverse the link.

Lets say i have 2 3750 switches stacked via backend stack cables. Now if a packet needs to go from 1 switch in the stack to second switch in the stack, will it travel via stack cable or do we need to connect both switches via uplink ports (ethernet or sfp). I tried reading datasheet but it no wheres mention the actual frame path between switches in stack.

I have an issue that I am trying to track down. When I have 2 servers on the same VLAN on my AS pair, all is good because nothing leaves the switch. Where the issue is, is when I have 2 servers on different VLAN's and it requires a hop across the Core router pair. This hop drops the throughput rate by about 20-25% (from 44M to 35-36M)I think I know the issue, but want some input to from other to make sure I am not off-base. I have a pair of 6509E chassis' running Sup720 (VS-S720-10G) with CEF720 (X6748-GE-TX) modules. This is my Access Pair running VSS to look as 1 switch.
These tie into the Core pair of 6500E chassis' running Sup720 (Sup720-3B). This issue I see is that the core has a CEF720 card (6724-SFP), but the AS pair does not connect to the core on that card, they connect on a RJ45 Ethermodule (6148A-GE-TX) card. Would the fact that the AS pair does not connect to the core on the CEF7220 module on the core, cause the traffic to not make use of the CEF features of the Core and make each packet then have to be processed by the core instead of Express Forwarded?

I am in the process of upgrading our stack of 4 switches consist of WS-C3750G-48PS. Upon reading release notes found that there are two versions of release notes 1 day apart, the one 02 Sep 2012 saying that WS-C3750-48PS is not supported in this version. Then in release next day 03 Sep 2012 that note has been removed. Which one is correct. Is it supported with my model of switch or not.also unable to update boot path in the stack switches, "switch all" is not supported in the current IOS. Master switch has new boot path but unable to change in slaves.

have just set up a WLC 4402 as a Guest WLAN controller on the DMZ of our network. I have successfully managed to get our internal controllers to connect to it, with the exception of 1. it says the control path is up but the data path is down. the other 14 controllers worked fine, and in testing the last one was OK but it is now not working properly. the 2 controllers can ping each other but just won't create the data tunnel. there is a firewall in the middle but that has been set up to allow traffic between the 2 groups of controllers to be unrestricted.
the internal controllers are 4404's and all controllers are running the same version of code. 5.1.151.0.

I have two 1142n LWP ap converted into standalone, as client doesn't have any controller there. They just want to extend their network via wireless.
L3 switch (trunk port gig 1/48) -----> connected to AP1
L3 switch (trunk port 2/48) -----------> connected to AP2
client is looking for 3 vlans on the floor ( users might multiple vlans might associated same AP ). They have a dedicated DHCP/DNS server and he will be configuring 3 vlans on L3 switch with correct ip helper address on SVI interfaces.
I'm i allowed to created 3 SSID's on 1142n standalone AP ?
What would the various optiosn to achieve this requirement ? Is there any simplest way to achieve this ? Do i need to go for 802.1x ? I remember client told their users are authenticating by using AD for wired network. This is their first request for wireless environment

I read from this forum some discussion about the WLC VLAN Select feature. [URL]. I see that you can use this feature to have multiple VLANS (interfaces) to map to the same WLAN (SSID).
What I try to learn is under what scenarios would people need to have mutliple vlan mapped to single SSID?
In my environment, I have 50+ AP int he campus on 20+ Cisco 4500 switches. I have single WLAN and it is mapped to one subnet. All wireless users would be on that subnets, whereas wired users are on 20+ subnets of their own.

I have two networks at two sites with a dot1q trunk between the two L3 switches at both sites (no routers involved)
SITE A - Cisco 3750 L3 - VLAN ID 50
10.10.50.0/24
SITE B - Cisco 3750 L3 - VLAN ID 50
10.20.50.0/24
I would like to extend the SITE A VLAN to SITE B so that I can move hosts from SITE A to SITE B without needing to change their IP address but the vlan ID is already in use. Obviously the easy solution is to change the VLAN ID for one or other of the sites but both sites contain hosts that run 24/7. Is there a way to join two VLANs with different IDs together.So for example I create a new VLAN 60 at SITE B and associate it with VLAN 50 at SITE A.

I am a recent student to Cisco products and I have purchased some (what I thought was good) lab equipment to learn with on a budget. What I have is a 2948G switch and a 2620 router. My issue is this: the router has only one fast Ethernet port. Is it possible to use V LAN's and V LAN Interfaces on the router and switch to somehow emulate a second interface to connect to a WAN or sub net?

upgrading our small office network. We currently have about 75 employees with probably 125 devices on the network. I'd like to create about 10 vlans for the different departments and then configure intervlan routing as needed. Currently we have all unmanaged switches and it's just a huge broadcast storm on the network. We are upgrading our Cisco 800 router to an ASA5505 sec. Plus license. I need some recommendations on switches. Of course, this needs to be done as cheap as possible.... Is there a way to use the ASA to configure all the vlans and intervlan routing and access lists and use a cheaper switch to provide the access layer to hosts?

I have the following config using a Cisco 1921. I am trying to get devices on the the native VLAN to get internet access via the gateway x.x.x.73.Any thing being routed from the other Vlans 15/20/30 can get access, but nothing from an internal IP address. Is there something I am missing.
The Xs replace the same 3 octets for each interface.I am trying to route from VLANs 15/20/30 to see VLAN 5. I have tried a few things, in terms of adding extra ip routes, but can't get anything to work. Each of those Vlans have another router on the other side of them, which I have also tried adding ip routes too, but nothing. One of the routers (Vlan15 is a Draytek 2830). [code]

I am trying to convince our Technical Lead that dual VSL links between our 6509-E chassis is a VERY good idea but he is fully convinced that the setup will work perfectly fine with only one VSL link. As I do agree that we can do this, I am looking for more concrete evidence that shows this would be a bad setup.
I know that we will lose the High Availably that comes with VSS, what I don't know is what will happen to all of the downstream switches that are connected and what will happen to the two 6509-E chassis..

I am setting up a vm environment for a customer in my lab off site. I have two stacked 3750-x switches, a san, and threes UCS c220 M3S servers for hosts. I am trying to separate the lan traffic, san iscsi traffic, and san management traffic using vlans. The problem is i'm unable to communicate cross vlan with my current config, which I have attached to this post. The only noteworthy things in my conifg is that the ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.83.6 is referring to a switch stack they have on site, that I will connect this stack to using the first two trunk ports on each switch, that I do not have here in the lab. I don't want to cause any confusion in why I have things set a certain way.

I got a different scenario from one of my client.My client have two different branch offices and have 50Mbps point to point connectivity between them. All users in both braches using same series of IP pool ( 192.168.224.0/24) in both branches.Both branches he had only Cisco 2960S series switches only. And in both branches he is using IP cameras. He will monitor the assets by accessing IP cameras through the browser.His requirement is, he wants to prioritize the Video traffic( monitoring through the browser) over the normal data traffic.Note: He had a single VLAN only.

I'm looking to see if it is possible to run a vPC between to vDC's on a single 7010? We have a Production setup that runs dual 7010's with vPC's between the chassis but in our lab we only have a single 7010 with a 32 port 10gig module. I was thinking that maybe we could create 4 vDC's on the 7010 and run a vPC between the vDC's.
