Cisco Switching/Routing :: IGMP On 6500 Versus 4500
Mar 11, 2012
I encountered a problem migrating configuration from Cisco 4500 with IOS 12.2(53)SG4 to Cisco 6500-VSS with IOS 12.2(33)SXI7.
With 4500, we had 2 servers with JBoss running multicast to build up the cluster. They used 239.X.X.X multicast IP. There was no need to configure "ip igmp snooping vlan XX static XXXX.XXXX.XXXX interface X" neither static arp entry.
When we migrated to 6500 in VSS, we had to do:
mac-address-table static XXXX.XXXX.XXXX vlan XX interface X disable-snooping
With this command, the JBoss cluster worked well. The question is, ¿Is there any difference regarding IGMP in 4500 versus 6500?

I've been looking into IGMP snooping and have read that a L2 switch will forward multicast traffic to all ports connected to an interested receiver AND all mrouter ports. In a L2 'V' topology this results in all multicast traffic routed onto a VLAN being forwarded to the 2nd distribution switch. My question is how should a 6500 Sup720 deal with this unwanted multicast traffic? Both a Local SPAN of the RP and a Netdr capture suggest that this traffic is punted to the RP and ultimately dropped. Is this expected behavior or should the traffic be dropped in H/W?

What's the difference between a Catalyst 4500 and a Catalyst 4500E series chassis? I believe it has to to do with supporting PoE+? Are the blades in both series interchangeable?

For intervlan routing, Is 'IP routing' command enabled by default on a 6500 series switches based on the IOS?and on 3750 switches, do we need to enable the "ip routing" command manually for intervlan routing?

We are preparing to install a new switching Infrastructure at one of our sites. We have decided that we want to have two separate chassis as a core. My original idea was to purchase 2 - 4500 chassis and install 10Gb and 1GB line cards in each and use STP and HSRP to load balance between the two cores.
We had also contacted a vendor for thier recommendations and they came back with 2 6500 Chassis running VSS. I reviewed what VSS was as I had never heard of it and it looks to me basically to be real close to the same thing as Stacking. I didn't really want to have stacked Cores because I would like to have the flexibility to be able to take one core out and update the software or image, reboot, and such without effecting anything on the network. I can do that with the non-VSS approach but it looks like that would be more of a problem with VSS.
My question is, how to use VSS with the 6500's? How to take one of the VSS pairs off line and not effect normal network operations?

can I plug power supply from 4500 to 6500? more specifically we have power supply PWR-C45-1300ACV. And we need to place some power supply to 6500, which has only one active module. So 1300 should be enough for it. But we dont know if they are physically compatible, if it is possible to plug. I didnt find this power supply to be officially?

how to configure igmp snooping on a 3560.
I have a pure L2 switching network and 2 hosts on the same vlan that want to communicate a protocol between each other using multicast packets.
I wanted to configure ip snooping only on this vlan and create a multicast group limited to only these 2 host ir order to make sure that the multicast traffic is only between both of them.
Since both are sender and receiver I´m not quite sure on how to configure this. In theory I also need to set an IP Multicast Address on the switch to where the hosts will send their multicast packets.
This is basically the network:
HOST_A---|SWITCH_A|==|SWITCH_B|---HOST_B

In the following topology
R1(f0/0)------------(f0/1)SW1(f0/2)------------R2
R1 is configured as host (no ip routing) with ip igmp join 239.10.10.10 on fa0/0 and R2 with ip pim sparse-mode on f0/0. SW1 is a Catalyst 3560 running IOS 12.2(25)SEE4 working at Layer 2 only in this topology (VLAN 1).
I configured SW1 for igmp snooping:
ip igmp snooping
ip igmp snooping vlan 1
Basically, I can see 'snooped' muticast group (via IGMP reports sent by R1)
SW1#sh ip igmp snooping group
Vlan Group Type Version Port List

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?

I am having problems with IGMP and QoS on CAT6500 platform with SUP720 engine.The problem is, it seems that all IGMP packets are getting marked with DSCP 48 when sent out of the switch regardless of any input service policy. I found several articles saying that PFC QoS does not apply to IGMP packets. However in IOS 15 that should be possible, but I didn't get it to work there either. [code]

I've got a pair of Nexus 7010's running vPC. I am having a Multicast issue with a cluster of Linux servers that need to talk Multicast for cluster/high-availability operation. All the servers need to talk to a single multicast address and I am having trouble getting them to communicate. I believe I need to enable IP IGMP Snooping Querier on the N7K's and it needs to be enabled on the VLAN where the servers reside. How to enable IP IGMP Snooping Querier on a VLAN ?

I have 3560e which doesn't appear to be passing igmp traffic to the upstream router
PC1 ----------- ASA ------------ PC2--------- 3560e ----------- 3825 -------------------- WAN --------------------- Router ------------- Server
My ASA runs SMR, has an igmp forward interface outside command on the inside and has a trunk port to the 3560e (V lans 32 & 48).PC2 is a test pc on the 3560e on vlan32. 3825 is my ISPs router on vlan32.
- if i try to access the stream from PC2 it works.
- if i try to access the stream from PC1, i see the igmp join leave my ASA onto the 3560E (i've captured on the 3560e's link to the ASA).
I've also captured on the ASA and i can see the igmp packet leave the outside interface but the join doesn't reach the 3825 (i've captured on the 3560e port facing the router and there is no join being forwarded).the switch is running in layer 2, 12.2(35r)SE1.

Our switch model is "Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3020 for HP" We are building HA (High Availability) Databases infrastructure.Currently, there are two nodes(hosts- servers) and two above switch for HA.
Oracle said we need to turn off the IGMP Snooping in order to use the multicasting for their interconnect communication.So my question is:
Q1> Is there any way to use Multicasting without turning off IGMP Snooping on Switch side?
Q2> If 'yes', how can we configure the switch for Multicasting ?
Oracle uses 230.0.1.0 & 224.0.0.251 IPs with 42000 range port for Multicasting communication.

I have a 2x Cisco 3750G switches (Stacked) that are part of an IP Video Surveillance System .All network is set to 1 VLAN (VLAN 1 default).The Cisco SWs ( Core ) are configured with IGMP Querier + Snooping .Connected to the Cisco SWs are 4 Fiber Rings(Loops) for redundancy . RSTP and IGMP Snooping are enabled on all the network SWs .Network Architecture Figure :
When all Fiber Rings (Loops ) are connected , the Cisco and Ring SWs spanning-tree tables show the blocked and forwarding ports properly .I am able to connect all my IP Cams + Encoders to the Ring SWs and connect my Servers + WorkStations to the Cisco SWs to record and view the multicast ip streams .All streams from Rings 1 ,3 and 4 are getting normally to the Servers + WorkStations through multicast ( IGMP Snooping are filled correctly on the Cisco and non-Cisco SWs ) . All multicast streams are joined normally except for Ring 2 .The Multicast streams passing through Ring 2 will operate normally for around 2 hours then after that the Fiber SWs begin to flood their multicast traffic causing the cams on the same switch to drop off the network .
I checked the Configuration of all the SWs on Ring 2 but all are are the same .
What is weird is that I have to set all the streams to unicast to stop the flooding just on Ring 2 (All other rings are not affected ) then after some time if I enabled a video multicast stream on one of the SWs of the Ring it will be streamed properly to the Servers + WorkStations ( All IGMP tables along the way will be filled properly ) then again after 2 hours or so , the flooding will start again suddenly and all IGMP table entries for the SW on Ring2 will be empty . No problem occurs on the other Rings which have more multicast streams .

Are there any best practices for preventative maintenance on Catalyst Chassis switches. Looking to build a PMI schedule for a customer. Or is there evidence not to perform it at all. Things like re-seating line cards, cleaning fan exhausts, etc.

some of our switches have the switchport mode trunk command configured between the 3750 switches but other 3750 switches connected to our 6509 core switch do not have the switchport mode trunk command to permit Vlans from going across the swtiches instead it has an ip address and says no switchport what is the difference between does two. Is trunking used only for Layer 2 and L3 is used to route interface vlans?

I own a Cisco 892W router. The router has 2 WAN ports and 8 switch ports. Now I know -
-WAN ports can create sub interfaces, assigne IPs, cannot be assigned to a VLAN - sounds very much like a routing port. (sh interface gives - Hardware is PQII_PRO_UEC)
-Switch ports are for VLAN assignment, trunking, IP assigment etc,. (sh interface gives Hardware is Fast Ethernet)
I know they are different but at the same time confuced what the difference are? I also know on some 3xxx series switchs you could say "no switchport" and translate a switch port to a layer 3 port. But on 892W you can't do this? Struggeling to understand the difference.

We replaced a 3560 with a new 2960S and I'm only able to configure a single ip sla where before we had three ip sla entries on the 3560. Obviously, one is a L2 switch and the other a L3 switch. This is an expected difference between switches, correct?

What is the preferred access switch for new deployment. Choosing between 3850 and 3750x. I have to say that the 3850 wireless features will not be used in this deployment and 4 switch for stack is enough... Looked and read everything that I found in the press, I can not make an informed choice. I bow to 3850, but I was apprehensive following circumstances:1) not too positive reviews2) to long list of open caveats3) to long list of features are not supported in Cisco IOS XE Release 3.2.0SE4) IOS XE : (With regard to the first three points - yes, I understand that the product is new and it has not gone further stage of "childhood diseases" ...Regarding the fourth point - I understand correctly that this is the direction to be moving Cisco Systems and soon all products migrate from classical IOS to IOS XE and so on?

I manage a network with a ghost server, a 3750G, several outside access, and some vlans.This is a very simplify view of this network:
The ghost server is on all vlans connected to a trunk port on the 3750G which is used as a central switch and for basic routing.All equipements connected to vlans 1, 2 or 3 are on 2950 switchs themselves connected to the 3750G on dedicated access ports, each in there respective vlans.
All equipements connected to vlans 1, 2 or 3 have as gateway a vlan interface on the 3750. (10.0.x.3)All the vlan interfaces have route-maps applied on them to redirect traffic to their dedicated outside access.The route-maps match only traffic destinated to the outside.
Everthing is working well but the multicast.When I create a ghost session on the server, I can see computer connecting on it, but the multicast never start.If I use directed broadcast it works with good perfs, but the CPU processes of the 3750 go high because of the IP Input (Till 99%).If I remove the route map from the vlan interface which is on the ghosted network, the multicast works but with poor perfs.If I shutdown the vlan interface the multicast works well with good perfs.
It seems my problems are tied with the Vlan interfaces but I don't know why.
This is a sample of the config:
switch 1 provision ws-c3750g-24ts-1u
system mtu routing 1500
vtp domain SM
vtp mode transparent
ip routing

I have a network coming up for a switch refresh. Management is pushing for 2960s and I would like 3850s. We are running Cisco Voice and Video over the network. I saw a few things that seemed to be in favor of a Layer 3 switch vs. a Layer 2 switch. Some items like better performance due to switching based on IP vs. switching based on MAC. Some information that will show the 3850 to be a better choice or that the 2960 is capable.

Configured 6500 and 4500 to send netflow to a stealthwatch NADS.When visited by the stealthwatch engineer found that because i didnt have NDE configaured.i wasnt actually exporting any but the initial data in the flow.Now if i have got this right the command for this is - mls nde sender version 5
This is confirmed by looking at the following out put -show mls nde.Neither of these command work on my 4500 switch -does this mean that its not outputting all the data or do i not need to configure NDE or do i need another command ?
-4500 Sup V-10GE 10GE
-6500 Supervisor Engine 720 10GE

At home we have a business Fiber line with 100/100 connection, right now connected to a Cisco 2911 Router.Problem with this one is that it doesnt give the cool neat config options you get on for example the new EA routers, nor does it support uPNP. Now I was wondering if it would be an idea to use the EA4500 (which i have here aswell, though atm not in use) instead of the 2911.does the 2911 offer that much more power and speed that it would be unwise to use a EA4500 on Fiber?

I want to configure accesslists on my Catalyst 3750X-switches to protect different VLANs/networks. Any best-practices about inbound versus outbound accesslists? In my head it is more readable and easier to understand the config when accesslists are assigned outbound on the VLAN to protect instead of assigning them inbound on all possible source-VLANs. But of course, from a performance point-of-view it is better to use inbound access-lists to avoid un-necessary routing etc.
