Cisco Switching/Routing :: How To Monitor 3750 Stacking Port In LMS
May 24, 2012
I would like to ask about 3750 stacking and some Cat6 stuff...
1) How do we monitor 3750 stacking port in LMS?
2) Let say if I stack 3 switches, middle switch should be Master. Uplink should be at Top and Bottom. Is best practice?
3) Can we mixed 3750G and 3750X and what is result internal BW - fallback to 32Gps?
4) is there any Qos difference between WS-X6816-10G-2T and WS-X6816-10G-2TXL?
5) is there any Qos difference between MSFC5 PFC4 and MSFC5 PFC4XL?
6) What is main difference between PFC4 and PFC4XL in Sup2T?
7) Pls share more about Central and Distributed Switching in Sup2T and which card support Distributed DFCXL?
We have three Cisco 3750 - 48port POE -LAN switches and i am trying to see if there are any issues when we stack POE and Non-POE type of switches.Aslo looking for information on the advanatage and disadvantage the stacking can provide on a Cisco 3750 48port.
I'm looking at adding a Cisco 3750-X switch running c3750e-universalk9-mz.122-55.SE1 (IP base license) into a stack of 3750-G switches running c3750-ipbasek9-mz.122-55.SE1.bin Given that the version and feature sets are the same I don't forsee any compatibility issues. Would there be any reason why a universal image wouldn't stack correctly with other switches running the single .bin file?
I plan to build improved redundancy in to my LAN by stacking two 3750s and teaming pairs of NICs on my Dell PowerEdge servers, with each cable of the pair going to a different switch.In my mind this provides redundancy for the NICs and the switches. Does this configuration will work, and also what type of teaming is supported, as I was planning to have one NIC active and one standby, but can I run this configuration with both NICs in the team as active with load balancing?
As we know there are three layer in cisco Network Model:
-Core -Distribution -Access
So my question is in Core / Distribution layer should i use Etherchannel between switches or use Stacking if switches are stackble.For ex: suppose I have two cisco 3750 switches . so should i use etherchannel between them or use stacking in core layer?What are the advantages and disadv of both.
We purchased a number of 3750X 48 and 24 port switches for the College Campus. Am finally getting around to getting them inserted on the network. Working with a WS-3750X-48PF-S and a WS-3750X-24P-L. Have them stacked with the 10Gb uplink on the 48 port switch. Have not been having fun.In the boot sequence, the switches recognize they are stacked, but as soon as they finish boot, I get the message on the 48 port switch: “Stack Port 1 Switch 1 has changed to state down.” Then “Stack Port 2 Switch1 has changed to state down.” Am noticing that I have a message preceding that: “Major version mismatch with stack neighbor.”The 48 port is running c3750e-universalk9-mz.150-1.SE3, HBOOT 12.2(53r)SE2.The 24 port is running c3750e-unversalk9-mz.122-55.SE3, HBOOT 12.2(53r)SE2Most of our 3750X and older switches are running 122-55 or 122.58 code. IP base or Universal. There is speculation that the problem is the 24 Port is Lan base, as the part number might indicate. (WS-C3750X-24-P-L.... I think that is the part number) and the 48 is IP base. Both switches are Universal, and my understanding is that they don't care about LAN or IP Base until you enable a function that falls in the IP Base domain. Then I have to call Cisco Licensing.For these switches, LAN Base is fine, based on the boot message, I feel the real problem is 122-55 versus 150-1 in the stack. So.. the question is: Do I downgrade the 48 port to match what we have in our environment, and what is on the 24 port switch. Or... Upgrade the 24 port switch to match the 48 port switch and have an installation that is not consistent with our environment? I do have two more edge closets to install with this purchase of 3750X 48 port switches.
is it possible to shutdown a specific port on my 3750x and monitor this port at the same time .for example , im dealing with a mac authenticated network using port security , i want to shut down all the ports that are not used at the moment , however , if some one gets connected to the one of the shutdown ports i want to know the mac address of the user or atleast to know that i have someone who is just plugged in to the one of the shutdowned ports .
i have just set up a monitor session with a 3750 stack .Simple enough task you would think.But i only seem to be seeing broadcast packets !!Now there is definitely unicast traffic being used on the host i am monitoring.I have done the basic commands
We have a stack of switches that is at the max number of members allowed in the stack. Problem is we are running out of port density and need to add more ports. So instead of adding a whole new stack I would rather replace 2 of the 24-port swicthes with 48-port switches.
If the two 24-port swicthes we are removing are stack members and neither of them are the stack master, I should be able to replace the 24-port switches with the 48-port switches without bringing the master offline? If the new 48-port switches are running the same IOS version as the current 24-port swicthes, they should add themselves to the stack?Would I have to tell the new 48-port swicthes what switch numbers they are replacing in order for them to be added to the stack since we are at the max number of members?Also since the 48-port swicthes are replacing 24-port switches will the master give the 48-port switches the configuration for only the 24-ports?
I have two 3750-X configured to be a stack and I am planning to re-rack these somewhere else. What I would like to know is what are the effects of having the master switch itself lose power? Does it immediately just make the member take over master (there should be no election since there are only 2 switches??) and there would be no loss of connectivity?
Does Cisco 3750 ip sla can monitor, let's say, monitor 3750 G1/0/1 port status, once it is down, then 3750 also make G1/0/2 also down. If yes, what is the command to do it?
I have cisco 2651. It contains two FastEthernet interfaces: Fa0/0, Fa0/1.Fa0/1 has an ip address. Fa0/0 hasn't an ip address.I need to create monitor session from source Fa0/1 to destination Fa0/0. Then i want to connect my notebook to Fa0/0 to analyze some traffic from port Fa0/1
The stack cable connected to Switch 1 Port 1 and Switch 4 Port 2 will not come back online. The logs show that there was a Stack line change. I have replaced the 1 meter Stack cable from Switch 1 to Switch 4 three times and it still does not come back online. This is the part that is interesting.. I have disconnected Port 1 Switch 4 and connected it to Port 2 Switch 4 and then Switch 4 came back online. This made me think Port 2 on Switch 4 was working correctly. Then I disconnected Port 2 Switch 1 and connected it to Port 1 Switch 1 and then Switch 1 came back online.
have a cable i think is bad, is it possiable to switch the cable out without causing any downtime to the switch or connected devices?

I am trying to configure a 3750 48 port switch and having trouble with getting it to see the sfp. I just want to set up the router with a pretty basic set up since I am using it for a ping test between 2 buildings, via fiber. How I can enable the sfp port?
I have configured SPAN in cisco 3750 switch as below mentioned. but the destination port protocol is down.switch(config)#monitor session 1 source interface gigabitethernet1/0/1switch(config)#monitor session 1 destination interface gigabitethernet1/0/11 ingress vlan 1
Been dealing with a strange problem for several days now. It started out with a problem that I thought was VTP related but ended up being something else. I setup a span port on a 3750 that I am connected to that was mirroring the trunk connection coming into the switch.
Never saw an VTP traffic come across the connection but doing a sh vtp status indicated the traffic was arriving and getting processed. When I found some debug commands (debug sw-lan vtp), I was also able to see the packets go between switches. Seeing this issue concerns me that there is other traffic that isnt showing up during a span session.
I know that doing a span on a switch, especially using a trunk port as a source, isnt a good idea. Since I didnt have a TAP at time, this was my only choice. I have since borrowed a NetOptics TP-CU3 tap from a good friend and was able to confirm the VTP traffic was going across the trunk connection between switches.
I have 3750 core/distribution switches with routing enabled in two offices connected with copper link and L3 port channel interfaces. NewOffice#2 has moved about 5 miles farther away from office#1 and I have to deploy new core/distribution switch connect it to old core#2 via F.O and move all access switches with it. Old core will stay in old #2 offices as a bridge between office#1 and new office#2 Office#1core<->copper (Ethernet) <->oldoffice#2core<->f.o. <->new office#2core How I should configure port channels ports on oldoffice#2 core to act as bridge between office#1 core/dist and newoffice#2 core/dist without changing anything else (ip, etc) on whole network
There 's a Cisco IP phone that sits between a PC and the switch port. On the switch port, no MAC address is learned. However, the switch is able to detect the IP phone and deliver power to it: [code] Switch is Catalyst 3750 with IOS version 12.2(58)SE1.
We have several 3750 stacks across our campus that we are unable to completely clear port security on. We have mac address stick set up on all access ports. When we clear the sticky address on the port, the mac address is removed from the running config like normal, but we keep getting port-security voilations. If port security is taken off the port completely, i.e. no switchport port-security, traffic still doesn't pass the port. Even clear port security across the stack doesn't work. If we try to reload the stack, only the master reboots, and the other switches in the stack lose switch capabilities.
I have a non-cisco router with a public WAN address. This is conencted to a 3750 switch internally. The switch is the default gateway for all VLANs, and the gateway router has static routes back to the 3750. The Router provides NAT, no NAT is done on the switch.My requirement is to port forward port 29 000 so that I can access a server on VLAN4 via this port.
So, I have: Router: Port 29000 map to 192.168.4.1 (Switch VLAN4 address)
The question is, how do I route port 29000 from the 3750 to the server on 192.168.4.42 ? what exactly I should add in order to port forward port 29000 incoming form my router, to my server on 192.168.4.42.
We have computers that are connected to a switch stack of 3 - 3750 switches. Randomly, we experience pcs that fail to communicate on the network. At first thought I figured the port went into err-disabled state, however the port shows up fine on the switch and moving the pc to another port on the same switch in the stack fails to fix the problem. To add to the confusion, if I immediately connect a different machine into the problematic port the newly connected machine has no issue and operates normally. Connecting back the first machine still results in no connectivity.
The only way to gain back network connectivity is to move the pc to a different switch in the stack. shut/no shut doesn't work.The IOS the stack is running is 12.2 and the switch ports are configured using cisco port macros.
I have a stack with a lot of stack-port changes, but on all the ports, how can I determine the faulty switch in the stack, cables are already verified. We did also a restart of the whole stack power off/on

I'm trying to configure a mirror port on a 3750. This configuration needs to replicate data from local ports, but I need that also act as a regular access port.
With the initial configuration, SPAN port, there is no problem, all the data of the configurated ports is replicating in the configurated port. On the port configurated as mirror there is a PC connected for audio recording. When the port is not operating as SPAN there is communications without problem over the LAN. But when I configure the port as SPAN, communication is interrupted.
Here is the actual configuration:
SWITCH1-PISO7#sh monitor session 1 Session 1 --------- Type : Local Session
I am building a new network and intended on using the min-link feature on my port-channels between a 3750-X series switch and Nexus 4k.
However reading further into this it seems this feature is only supported on higher end models. I cannot find any reference to the min-links feature in the 3750-X configuration guide. Is this an available feature?
The 3750-X model is WS-C3750X-24T-L running IOS 12.2(55)SE3 IP Services
My thoughts is that the is only an LACP supported feature so I may not see the command until I have entered an LACP specific command on the port-channel but unfortunately I do not have a 3750X to verify this on at present.
I have a 3750 catlyst switch in my network and it is like a distubation switch,And for the nating and dhcp nomadix is using as gateway in the same network. for one of my local PC i need to config the port forwarding in 3750 switch. How to config the port forwarding on 3750 switch,
I'm trying to setup a port on a catalyst 3750 so it will pass traffic for 2 vlans. It connects to a (watchguard) firewall which I've configured with a primary IP (for vlan 27) and a secondary IP (for vlan 29).
However I can't seem to find the correct commands to enter on the cisco switch port (I've tried a variety).
FYI the current configuration is... interface FastEthernet1/0/38 description ## Connection to WG vlan27 and vlan 29 ## switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
We have QoS configured throughout the company, but the standard config we have applied across the 3750 switches only includes the below: We have IP phones (not cisco) attached that are marking with EF, and the PC is an untrusted end device (so needs to be by default marked as zero).Is the above enough to trust VOIP DSCP EF without resetting it to DSCP 0, or do I also need to add a trust line (i.e.: mls qos trust dscp)?
