Cisco Switching/Routing :: Independent Opinions Needed On Network 4507
Feb 15, 2012
Our sister site had a new building and the network it was supposed to resemble the network on this site with link redundancy as far as the edge switches.After 6 months asking for the password to the equipment I finaly got it and started to plan the deployment of some phones, I got a little confused as to the layout of what had been done as CDP was not showing what I had expected.
I then used CNA to map out the site.We have 1 main server room (at the top of the picture with the two 4507 cores and a number of fixed config 1U switches)And 3 further wiring rooms at other points in the building with fixed config 1U switches.
(And a wan link to this site)In my opinion the design as it stands is significantly flawed in redundacny with multiple points of failure, and its efficiency is very poor.

I have a WS-C3750G-24T-S layer 3 switch and I need to configure independent routes for a specific network, I'm trying to use VRF but it is not working for me. I tried using route-map but it seems the switch doesn't support that, so I'm stuck with VRF, but I think I'm not doing it right. The topology is as follows:
I have a network directly connected to a vlan and I need to forward all the traffic I get on this VLAN using a tunnel to a router. I think the problem is that in order to use the tunnel I need to utilize another VLAN which isn't part of that VRF. I attach the configuration I'm using to better understand what I'm trying to do:
layer-3 switch:
ip vrf TEST
rd 1:1
interface Tunnel1
ip vrf forwarding TEST
ip address 172.17.0.1 255.255.255.252
tunnel source 10.245.0.9
tunnel destination 10.250.4.31
[Code]....
And this is how my routing table looks on this router:
172.17.0.0/30 is subnetted, 1 subnets
C 172.17.0.0 is directly connected, Tunnel4
C 10.250.4.0/24 is directly connected, Vlan404
S 10.245.0.8/29 [1/0] via 10.250.4.1
S* 0.0.0.0/0 [1/0] via 10.1.60.15

Suppose I have a 3 member stack of 3750x switches. Members a, b and c.I have all 3 members stacked with all 3 *data* stacking cables in a daisy-chain topology. The 50 cm data stacking cable from switch a (on the very top) to switch c (on the very bottom) just barely reached.Of course, that means the 30 cm *power* stacking cable didn't reach between a & c. Right now, the power stacking cable goes from a to b, and then another cable from b to c. Leaving me with a useless extra 30 cm power stacking cable.
My question is, can switch "a" receive power from switch "c" through switch "b"? Is this just a big electrical "bus"? What if the power supply in switch "b" is removed?Just wondering if there is a need for me to get a longer power stacking cable (one of the 150 cm power stacking cables).

One of my clients is using Cisco catalyst 2955 industrial switch.I am doing the configuration for them and come across one setting of FCS Error Hysterasis Threshold. I know FCS is Frame Check Sequence.
I do not understand is what is the meaning the setting of Hysteresis in term of percentage stand for what purpose?For example, the default is 10 percent. If I set the value to be lower 5% and what is the impact on that? Is this more stringent than default of 10% or less stringent than default of 10%?

i have a strange problem in my campus network.im trying to run port security on my access switches which they are 3550 with ios c3550-ipservicesk9-mz.122-52.SE when i run the port security with Sticky option, even i put 1000 mac address for just learning on the port but when i issue the switchport port-security command every pc connected to that port loses its connection with network UNTIL i enable dhcp snooping!!! all my client are getting they ip address from DHCP server but strange thing is that how on earth i have to enable DHCP snooping to port security work properly? also when i check the configuration under the interface when dhcp snooping is not yet enabled switch doesnt add any mac address under the interface so no one can work until i enable snooping and then switch adds mac addresses under the interface configuration.is this Bug on this version of IOS?[code]

I am having a Cisco 4507 switch. The CPU on the switch is running between 50% to 60% constantly. To troubleshoot I collected some logs using debugs & show commands.
debug platform packet all receive buffer
show platform cpu packet buffered
debug platform packet all count
show platform cpu packet statistics
show processes cpu sorted | exc 0.00
show platform health
show platform cpu packet statistics
show platform health output shows the below process crossing the target value.
%CPU %CPU RunTimeMax Priority Average %CPU Total
Target Actual Target Actual Fg Bg 5Sec Min Hour CPU
Stub-JobEventSchedul 10.00 13.41 10 47 100 500 13 13 10 5462:52
K2PortMan Review 3.00 5.35 15 11 100 500 4 4 3 1799:47
What I need to know is, though these process are running in Low Priority, will there be any issue if the CPU goes high due to these process.

We have recently purchased a 5Mbit line with a second ISP and will have the line activated tomorrow. In addition, we recently obtained our AS number through ARIN. How would I configure the second ISP to be used for load balancing/failover?

SSH has been enabled on our one and only 4507 switch for several months and working fine. A few weeks ago the switch had to be reloaded and when it was back online I couldn't SSH to it. When I connected via the console and typed "show ip ssh" it came back saying I needed to generate the keys. Did that and it starting working again. The same switch had to turned off and on the other day due to a power down in the server room and when it came back the same thing happened again!!
The version of IOS is: cat4000-i5k91s-mz.122.20.EW

QoS design problem that I have. I have a client that is deploying new 4507 series switches with SUP6Es. The client will be running lots of voice, streaming video, and video conferencing over the LAN and want to base QoS on Cisco Media net recommendations.
I need to design a new QoS policy with focus on the above media services with basic queuing for critical data services. I have read the Media net design guide and the suggested 12-class model will be too complex to start with but I have seen references to start with a 8-class model with the ability to easily migrate to 12-class in the future. The 8-class model meets all of our requirements but I need to understand how this will work with the 4507 queuing model? [URL]

we have a core switch 4507RE at the data center and 2 departments that connect to it via 10Gig fiber using X2-LRM modules. Each department has a 3 switch stack and both locations are identical w.r.t type and setup scenario.the stack comprises of 1 x 3750E and 2 x 3750G . uplink is from X2 port tengig3/0/1 from the 3750E switch.
All of a sudden dept B started facing problem , where the ping would break and throughput comes around 6 - 7 mbps from that dept to the server behind the core switch. we also noted CRC error on both sides preodically.
we replaced the multimode fiber patch cords, re did the splicing , which stopped the CRC errors to appear.now since morning the uplink port on the 3750E (3/0/1) would suddenly be in "down" state with (err-disabled) as the status when i run sh int ten 3/0/1
and i can also see CRC errors and input errors on the same interface.. if i do shut / no shut .. the port is up and active again.. but this has happned 3 times today.the core swith side is still OK and no CRC / input / output errors are seen..
now on the 3750E i have swapped the 10gig module from 3/0/1 to 3/0/2 . the port is still up but i can see 400 CRC and 500 Input errrors.the module is also OK as i had replaced it with dept 1's module.

There is Reach ability between NMS server and switch but snmp string is not validating.

Is there a way I can find out the amount of bandwidth i'm using on a particular interface on a 4507 cisco multi-layer switch? It is a gig port and I have it setup for monitoring (spanning) and I see packets being dropped in the "Total Output Drops" area. To me it looks like it must be exceeding the 1gig limit but I don't know a way to check to make sure. I also have the queueing strategy set to FIFO.

I have been trying to reset my Cisco 4507 R-E with sup 10GE engines, and I am not having any luck. I have followed the following document:
[URL]
I have tried "wr erase" and "erase startup-config." I cannot delete the vlan.dat file either. I am using the command "erase cat4000_flash:vlan.dat" and its not working either. I have done these commands several times with no success. When asked if I want to save the config changes, I am answering with a "no" I have not tried to depress the small "reset" button on the front of the sup engines as I read that this just restarts the switch.

I have this cisco 4507 switch that I need to configure multiple ip ranges on. The problem is that I can only configure two ip ranges on it, one ip range on the management vlan and the other ip range on vlan 2. After I have configured these 2 vlans with different ip ranges, I can route between then and get them to talk to each other, but that is all I can do. If I add another vlan with a different IP range I cannot see it from the switch or get any of the otehr ip ranges to see it.
I am doing something dumb because this is a layer 4 device so it should be able to route the ip ranges. I have tried everything just cannot get it to work. I have assigned the IP range directly to the port number and directly to the vlans. Just wont work.

I am having an issue where MAC addresses from my user PC's are registering on different ports than the ones they are plugged in to. I have my PC's plugged in to my Cisco phones (most of which are 7941's), and then patched back to my switch, (4507 or 4006). The issue is that a user will be working fine, they will have both their PC and Phone MAC's registered on the correct prot and then with out intervention the PC MAC addresses will register itself with another physical port and the user will pull a 169.x.x.x address and have not access to the network. This is happening to multiple users all of which are hardwired. Port security is configured to allow 3 MAC's, obviously if I change that to 2 it will not allow an incorrect MAC's to register with that port, but I would like to know why this is happening. Both the 4507 and 4006 have been up for 1 year and 33 weeks. The fix has been to find out where their MAC has registered it self, unplugg that PC from the phone, and let the port security aging time (2min) clear all MAC's from the port.

We have ordered a new 4507 chasis with a supervisor engine.We have also ordered a spare supervisor engine.As per Cisco documentation WS-X45-SUP7L-E is shipped with a default IP base license.My question is that is this a e-delivery or a paper base license.The Cisco documentation also states that we can use the same license to upgrade both the redundant and active supervisor from lan base to IP base.
