Cisco Switching/Routing :: Is It Better Take 6724 With DFC3BXL Then Only S720-3BXL
Jan 22, 2013
We have 7 interfaces with rj45 connections.. all around 100Mbit per connection .. most likely in the future we will need a couple more interfaces.. i was thinking it would be better to take a WS-X6516-GE-TX card then a FE card as for example a WS-X6148-RJ-45 .Now we want to implement a 7606 with a SUP720-3BXL with 1GB dram for the RP(MSFC3)... so enough memory to support the 2x a FULL BGP table to two peers.
Q : Does the SUP720-3BXL work well with two peers sending the FULL BGP table ?
Q : And does that also work with a WS-X6516-GE-TX connected to the two peers sending the FULL BGP table ? .. or is it better to take a 6724 linecard with a DFC3-BXL so that the 6724 will lookup routes locally instead a 6516 will have the S720- perform the routing ? I know that adding the DFC's increases the bandwidth of the chassis significantly (40gbps per slot most 6700 linecards ,and 20gbps for the 6724 which is 1:2 oversubscribed )
Q: Or is it better to connect the two peers to the two SFP interfaces on the SUP720 , and connect the small routers and customer networks to the 6516 linecard?

I am writing with regard to a high memory utilization that we have on a pair of line card WS-X6748-GE-TX and WS-X6724-SFP for a VSS 6500. I am enclosing a little part of the "show tech"of this VSS 6500 where is possible to see the high memory utilization of the line cards 1/1, 1/2, 2/1, and 2/2, in despite of having some ports in state connected. In addition of this, the IOS installed on VSS 6500 is s72033-ipservicesk9_wan-vz.122-33.SXI6.bin for checking if there are some bugs affecting the behaviour of the Switch for this case.

we purchase only Cisco Supervisor Engine VS-S720-10G and use it in our old C6509-E chassis.Now the supervisor engine was dead,(means not working and no LED's are ON). How can i claim the RMA from cisco?
We purchase from one of our partner. We send it to them,they are not able to find the Serial number from the Supervisor Engine module (Because lot of serial numbers are on the board). Also the customer through the catoon.
Now how we can know which is exact serial number of sup? How to get RMA from the Cisco on which serial number?

We are upgrading two standalone 6509E chassis to a VSS system with new VS-S720-10G-3C cards. The 6509's have WS-X6748-GE-TX card with DFC3B daughter cards (see below). The compatablity matrix (see below) states that 67xx cards are supported but it goes on to state DFC3C or DFC3CXL cards are needed. So does this mean that the existing WS-X6748-GE-TX cards have to be upgraded or will they be supported?

I got a new VS-S720-10G it had 122-33.SXH8b on there. I had to downgrade it to 12.2.33.SXI1 to match our other switches. I installed the file I use in all the other switches, s72033-adventerprisek9_wan-mz.122-33.SXI1.bin but the Sup is now is only booting up only to ROMMON mode.

I'm trying to configure a egress netflow in a 6500 (VSS) with VS-S720-10G supervisor. I foud some old posts and understood that netflow wasn't supported on 6500 but i found a new document and it seems that netflow is supported in Supervisor Engine 2T:[URL] Does the netflow still not supported in VS-S720-10G? It's weird because the command is supported:
#sh run int vlan 4

I have catalyst 6500s with two VS-S720-10Gs, one is in Active and one is in Hot state. Both Sup cards have two 10G uplink ports. How does the traffic forwarding works in this case on the uplink ports? Do these uplink ports actively forward traffic or it is only the uplinks ports on Active that forward traffic? I see CDP neighbors on both Active and Hot SUPs uplinks ports - it indicates that packets are flowing on both cards.
I want all uplink ports on both SUPs to actively forward traffic. Does it work? What is the config for this?

I have the above config in a 6509-E chassis with X2 Cac-3000 psu's
The problem i'm having is when everything is powered up it runs fine for about 10minutes then reloads the switch,The 6748 has a 6700-CFC installed the only way i have managed to get it run without crashes is to remove the 3BXL card from the sup and replace it with a PFC-3B, whilst this has solved the problem the client wants the 3BXL card to be installed, am I right in thinking that the CFC installed on the 6748 is incompatible with the 3BXL or maybe the 3BXL is faulty

We have Router CISCO7613,SSO redundancy configured with two Sup 720-3BXL running 12.2(33)SRC1 image. Even thought I've configured SSO, my standby sup remains in COLD state with the following logs generated.
Mar 20 22:07:32.514 IST: %ISSU-SP-3-PEER_IMAGE_INCOMPATIBLE: Peer image (c7600s72033_sp-ADVENTERPRISEK9-M), version (12.2(33)SRC1) on peer uid (8) is incompatible

Mar 20 22:08:48.263 IST: %PFREDUN-SP-4-INCOMPATIBLE: Defaulting to RPR mode (Runtime incompatible)
[code]...
These logs says that due to some reasons, the configuration is not being synchronized with active and standby sups and hence the redundancy mode remains in RPR mode and SSO not achieved, and hence COLD state. However, I couldn't find a reason why the configuration is not being synchronized, I've issued the command, redundancy config-sync ignore mismatched-commands, and everything worked fine, SSO achieved and standby sup came to HOT state.Now my query is,
1. Why the configuration was not synchronized and standby SUP got in COLD state??
2. Since I issued the suggested command, at least, some of the mismatched lines in configuration will be ignored, Will that create a problem when my Active sup fails and standby become active?

I am pretty far out of my comfort zone here but these VS-S720-10G-3C cards were purchased to upgrade our 7609/7606 routers, the spec sheet says they are compatable but I can't find an IOS that "likes" them. I had no problem finding an IOS and using the vss cards in our 6506...

I'm planning to implement a VSS system with two 6509 and VS-S720-10G supervisor engines. In technical specifications is said that this card can support up to 1024 VRFs. Is this limit the same when working in VSS?

I am about to replace the supervisor engine in our pair of distribution switches in our data center. We currently have a FWSM module installed in each of my distribution switches running 3.1(20) code. The old sup720 are running 8.6(4) and the mfsc are running 12.2(17d)SXB11a. I am wondering about the compatibility of running the FWSM with the same code after installing the new VS-S720 modules. I do not plan on configuring virtual switch yet and did plan on upgrading the FWSM to 4 code train but just not immediately. Will I be able to run my FWSM using the current 3.1(20) code after I install my new VS-S720 running in native mode?
If I have to upgrade the FWSM then I need to know if I have to upgrade the module in each distribution switch at the same time? Furthermore I do not believe that the FWSM 4 code is supported in hybrid mode, which means that I will have to convert to native before upgrading to FWSM 4 before I install the VS-S720 in one of my distribution switches. Currently the FWSM modules are in active/standby mode in different chassis.
I had planned to install the VS-S720 module in one of my distribution switch and do the other installation a week later. I would rather not have to convert to native and upgrade the FWSM modules in both distribution switches during the first switch upgrade.

I am buying a Nexus 5K (N5K-C5548UP-FA) with the layer 3 card (N55-D160L3 - Nexus 5548 Layer 3 - Daughter Card).The switching capacity of it is 960 Gbps but I know I should expect less doing the Layer 3 function (it will only be used with static routing).What switching/routing capacity should I expect? How can I estimate it? What else should I consider?

we've had an issue with our network, we have 2 6509 connected with redundancy, which are connected with 2 x 4900 Switches, from which are connected to a ESX Chassis for visualization, the thing is that the ESX stopped working, and the 4900 switches, and the main core were suffering from overload, they hang on it very well, in order to stop the overload, one of the links to the ESX Chassis were disconnected from one of the 4900 switches. The CPU usage from the 4900 and the core(6509) went down below 40%, and then they started to migrate the virtual servers from the chassis to another 2 chassis that were added right after. They were actually working well, but suddenly the 6509 changed to the other supervisor after everything was OK. We were wondering what could have been the cause of this, maybe the virtual servers migrations, maybe the overload from the ESX ? We also had a few question, is there any need to reload the cores every few months as a planned task ? Because the cores have been up for more than 1 year. And also is there any kind of of tool to monitor the CPU status, or the status overall from the cores or the switches ?

I am facing an isssues with 7609 for LAN switching , based on LAN (VRRP/HSRP) feature.Actually we are having ES+ cards (on 7609) and we are using multiple groups(say 350 vrrp groups) running on the router . the routers are connected as router 1>>> mux(which is working as switches)>>> router2
my questing are
1. does their will be "multicast packets" (for VRRP/HSRP group) "from backup router to Master router", when in stable state( ie when Master and backup are already chosen) , or the packet from backup to master should be unicast.I know for sure, the packet from master to back is multicast packets denstination to Multicast IP packet and To MAC address.I am not sure but I think from backup to master it should be multicast
2. what is frequency of these packets( from backup to master)
3. As i have multiper group on a single interface ( we are using q-in-q), when the connectivity from router's is broken, then does all the groups will muticast their active roll in the lan sengment "at once" or it will be in a groups say 100 groups at once, and after few ms few 100's and sone ( as is on OSPF or RIP)
we are in between troubleshooting I hope we get the ans( Actul problem we are seeing in the router's that we have 2 ports on active routers and 2 ports on standby router , but we are not seeing muticast on 1 port on standby router where as all other 3 ports are seeing multicast packets) [code]

We are in the process of switching our infrastructure of our routing/firewalls/vpns over to cisco. We are switching our first location and one of the issues I'm struggling with is windows authentication pass-through for internally hosted web pages. Meaning, user inside our network has the 2921 as their default gateway, they try to access a web page that is hosted on the internal network but is secured with windows authentication. In the past, because they are logged into the domain internally, the website authenticates and loads. After switching to the Cisco, it asks for a password even though they are logged in.
Because its the web server that actually authenticates I'm not sure why the router isn't allowing that to happen, but I can't think of anything else that could be causing this behavior.

Does the nexus 7010 support virtual switching yet? All of the posts I have found from about a year ago say that it is going to be supported, but there were no dates listed. I heard the same thing from Cisco a while back, but haven't followed up with it.If it is supported finally are there any configuration guides available for it?

I have the following devices :
-1 VM Host
-2 Layer 3 switches
I would like to provide full redundancy for all vlans being used by VM Guests on the VM Host as well as the management vlan being used by the VM Host.I have created two LACP etherchannel connections on the VM Host. Each etherchannel from the host consists of 4 ports spanning a single NIC. One etherchannel connection goes to a trunked etherchannel connection on switch 1, and the other etherchannel connection goes to a trunked etherchannel connection on switch 2.Switch 1 and switch 2 have an etherchannel connection between them that carries all of the vlans in the topology.Vlan 2 is the managment vlan. Vlans 3, 4, and 5 are vlans that VM guest systems will be using for normal data traffic.
I intend to use switch 1 as the VRRP active router and spanning-tree root bridge for vlans 2 and 3.I intend to use switch 2 as the VRRP active router and spanning-tree root bridge for vlans 4 and 5.The spanning-tree configuration is using multiple spanning-tree with two instances. Instance 1 has vlans 2 and 3 associated and Instance 2 has vlans 4 and 5 associated. I would like to have this topology be fault tolerant to the point where if one of the etherchannel links between the host and one of the switches goes down, (for example, if switch 1 was powered off) traffic will be automatically redirected through the other functional link. I believe that my VRRP configuration would allow for a fairly quick failover of layer 3 services, but I am not certain that my design will be functional at a layer 2 level.
What I am uncertain about is how spanning-tree will converge. I am assuming that the virtual switch on the VM host will not be forwarding any BPDUs being sent by either switch. Would either of the links connecting to the host be considered a redundant link by either switch?Would the link between switch 2 and the host be inactive for all vlans in MST instance 1 during normal operation?Conversely, would the link between switch 1 and the host be inactive for all vlans in MST instance 2 during normal operation? Would all links remain active for ALL vlans? Would this mean that some traffic may travel through switch 2 to reach switch 1 instead of going directly to switch 1?

I got Two Distribution Switches of Cisco 3750G. Each Distribution have two 3750G switches stacked. I also have one Cisco 3750V2 Access Switch connected to both Distribution. When I am checking for redundancy, I can only get redundancy test pass for one link not atall for other. If I have a link up with Distribution 1 only then its fine; but disappointment with Distribution 2 link. I can see that the switch priorities of Dist 2 is not correct ie. Master's priority is 10 and Member's is 15.
My question is that due to misconfigured priorities on Distribution 2 stack switches I am failing with redundancy if ONLY Dist 2 is up and Dist 1 is down.

I am seeing a strange situation on my 6500 switch?By having snmp walk on '1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.109.1.1.1.1.3' (== cpmCPUTotal5sec), I came to know that there are two processor and the cpu util for switching processor is gone to 88 % and some time creeps to 99 %.
snmpwalk -v2c -c "removes" sw6500 '1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.109.1.1.1.1.3'
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.9.9.109.1.1.1.1.3.1 = Gauge32: 12 (--- this is for CPU of Router Processor )
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.9.9.109.1.1.1.1.3.3 = Gauge32: 99 (--- this is for CPU of Switching Processor )
but when I do sh process cpu on the console, all looks normal as it shows cpu utilization of RP. why the value is so high on the switching processor ?

It is understood that sub-50 ms ERPS convergence can be achieved with certain HW/SW combinations.
1) What are the platforms supported (and with what FW/SW) has this been tested ?any results that can be shared?
2) Link failure detection in GigE on Copper is slower compared to GigE over "pure" Fibre; so no sub-50ms would be possible with Copper ring ports.is sub-50ms convergence achievable with "combo SFP ports" ?

and an 8 port fibre module (WS-X6408A-GBIC)
I'm looking to replace this with something with 72 ethernet ports and 8 fibre ports
Access Switches:
2x 3500Replacement needs at least 48 ports and 2 fibre modules each
and 2x 5500Replacement needs at least 72 ports and 2 fibre modules each.
