Cisco Switching/Routing :: Is It Normal To Have All Ports 4500 Switch (not Fiber Ones)
Apr 24, 2012
I was checking some things on my Cisco 4500 and spot checking some of the ports. Using CNA it says it is at 10. The web browser to the switch says Full-duplex, 1000Mb/s, link type is auto, media type is 10/100/1000-TX on port 6i/18 The CNA says, so what would cause the difference?
I have a Cisco 4500. Recently some of the ports seem to have "died"/ will not supply Poe to phones. Some work for data only. Other do not work at all. The switch has been restarted, this made no difference.
we have a 4510r-e running 12.2(50)SG1 w/ various rj45 line cards and a 24 port glc card.at any given time, i see 10's of ports in 10/full.i go to the station, and find the station in 100/full or 1000/full.
i go to the switch w/ my fluke, connect it directly to the switch w/o any intermediate infrastructure except a 50cm cat6 patch cable.the fluke reports 1000/full, but THE SWITCH PORT REPORTS STILL 10/FULL.all ports are config'd 'speed auto' and 'duplex auto'.
the switch seems to be erroneously reporting 10/full.there are no errors logged on any of the ports and there is successful communications even when the station and switch port report different speeds.even though there are no errors logged nor reported by 'show int [port]' nor 'sho int count error' certain killer applications crash on some stations. (the applications are GHOST (which dumps disk images from a server to multiple stations) and NETOP (which i sused in a classroom to transmit an instructors screen to a room full of stations) both of which broadcast and/or multicast.all nodes involved in the above 2 applics are on the same vlan and same phyiscal subnet.
the ports which report 10/full vary and occur even when the above applics are not in use.the only way i found to clear this 10/full report is by either a hardware reset of the entire module or by unplugging the cable, the execute on the port shutdown, speed auto, no shutdown, reconnect cable.then it's just a matter of time until it pops back to 10/full in a few minutes,hours or days.
how to address the killer applic problems besides restructuring the whole net by defining separate vlan for each lab of 20 or so stations?
We have Three locations (A,B,C) across campus. Location A is Main Location, While B & C are remote locations. Distance among all locations approx. 2 miles.
I want 10G Fiber among these three locations. I am taking 4510+E with SUP 7E with Redundant SUP & 10G Fiber line card(X2 10G) at Location A.At Location B & C, i need Max. 2 Nos. of 10G uplink. i am taking 4507r+E with redundant SUP 7LE. Can i terminate 10G Fiber UPLINK from Location A in to Redundant SUP 7L-E(10G SFP+) at location B & C ??
At one time, Primary SUP 10G uplink should be active & Redundant SUP 10G uplink should be standby. When primary SUP fail, redundant SUP 10G uplink will be active. Is that Possible with this scenario?Is that possible that at same time, 10G Uplink on both SUP 7L-E be Active?
I have an old Cisco 3500XL I am using for my home lab, but was wondering can I use the fiber ports to connect to my PC. I have to correct NIC interfaces but no link indication. I did make sure the port was no down, but sill not link.
We have a scenario where we want to connect 14 access layer 2950 switches to Core switch 3750 via optical fiber in a LAN.What model of 3750 Switch should we use to tackle this situation.I have learnt that WS-C3750X-24P should support it.Isnt it?
Can we use optical fiber SFP module to connect 2950 switches to core switch?Does Cisco 2950 Switch support optical fiber sfp module?
How i can configure the SFP Ports on my 4500 SERIES CHASSIS with other SFP ports on the connecting switch. I want to connect 15 switches via GLC=SX=MM to my 4506E sfp card.
I have installed a WS-X4448-GB-RJ45 on a 4503 chasis. I could not get input or output rate, just shows 0 bit/seg wether or not is forwarding traffic. I would like to know if I have to make any configuration or workaround. The IOS version is 12.2(37)SG1.
We have been receiving these notifications on one of our core.
Jun 28 12:54:01: %MAC_MOVE-SP-4-NOTIF: Host b407.f9c3.3c51 in vlan 56 is flapping between port Po5 and port Te7/2 Jun 28 12:54:01: %MAC_MOVE-SP-4-NOTIF: Host 145a.05c8.0ed3 in vlan 802 is flapping between port Te7/2 and port Po5 Jun 28 12:54:01: %MAC_MOVE-SP-4-NOTIF: Host 9463.d129.546a in vlan 56 is flapping between port Gi2/9 and port Po5 Jun 28 12:54:01: %MAC_MOVE-SP-4-NOTIF: Host 3c43.8ef3.7448 in vlan 56 is flapping between port Gi2/9 and port Po5 Jun 28 12:54:01: %MAC_MOVE-SP-4-NOTIF: Host 000e.35eb.25ae in vlan 66 is flapping between port Po5 and port Te7/2
PO5 goes to our primary wireless controller. Gi2/9 goes to a Cisco 4500 switch that also has a PO5 on it for a failover lan controller and TE7/2 is another core switch.
These mac-address all seem to point to PO 5 which is the port channel assigned to Wireless Controller interfaces.
How do I determine if this is a spanning-tree loop? No ports are err-disabled.
We've just purchased a WS-C3750-24FS-S, only to find that the 100baseFX ports will not work over Single Mode fibre, backhaul links. Any way or a device that convert from MM to SM?
I am confused on how acl's respond on normal cisco switch (eg.6500) when applied on respective vlans. this is my scenario:on a 6506, i have 2 main vlans in question: Vlan 100 ( vendor1 - 172.16.100.0/24 ) & Vlan 200 ( vendor2 - 172.16.200.0/24 ). the requirement is,
- vendor1 should be able to access/ping vendor2 end points
- vendor2 should not be able to access/ping vendor1 end points
Now, if i ping from a host 172.16.100.11 in vlan 100 to another host 172.16.200.21 in vlan 200, will i be able to get a successful response ?
I know in the past on earlier models of the supervisors that you couldn't use all eight uplink ports(4 on each supervisor) simultaneously when you have two supervisors on the chassis. Is this the same case for the 10Gb uplinks on the supervisor 7-E on the 4500 chassis? I tried doing my research but couldn't find an answer.
This is an easy question for all the architechs and designers out there. I have a stack of 3508-XL switches and one of them failed. we have 2 spares but hese are more than 10 years old and have reaced EoL.What is the equivalent switch of a 3508-xl replacement today?
We are using CISCO 4507R-E switch as our core/distribution switch. Out of the 7 available slots, 3 are currently being used. Descriptions is as follows:
Slot 1: 6 Port Fiber Line Card
Slot 2: 6 Port Fiber Line Card
Slot 3: Supervisor Engine
Slot 4: Empty
Slot 5: 48 Port Copper Line Card
Slot 6: Empty
Slot 7: Empty
We want to add extra 10 Gbps fiber links (approximately 12) using slot 6 and 7.
In one location we have a HP 2510-48 port switch which we need to connect to a Cisco 3560 switch. The problem I have is that we have issues connecting fibre to the HP switch, so I have decided to attached a CAT 5 to Fibre convertor at this end and another to the cisco switch.
My question you can not connect a HP switch to a Cisco switch, is this true or do I just need to confirgure something on the ports.
We are going to be rolling the 4500 switches out and I wanted to know more about how to use the wireshark featue. Any documentation on how to use this?

is it possible to run a Catalyst 4500 as pure Layer 2 Switch, i.e. disabling "ip routing", but still managing the switch via Fa1, i.e. the defautl mgmtVrf vrf ?I tried the following:
! no ip routing ! interface FastEthernet1 ip vrf forwarding mgmtVrf ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 ! ip route vrf mgmtVrf 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.254 ip default-gateway 192.168.1.254
I was not able to reach the Switch even from the same subnet. Only after enabling ip routing I could manage the Switch. I haven't found any command to set ip default-gateway for a vrf. Any workaround to keep routing disabled, but still manageable via VRF?
I had a strange issue yesterday when onsite installing a new access switch.Port capacity full on a two switch stack of 3750 x48 PS switches (WS-C3750- 48PS-E)- New 2960 x48 PS - WS-C2960S-48FPS-L racked, with the plan of using it just as an edge switch via SFP Stacking cable.Setup the two connecting ports with simple initial config: - switchport mode trunk- no encapsulation option on the 2960, default dot1q- dot1q set on 3750 port- no shut on both sides.Connected the SFP Stacking cable but it didnt work:- %PHY-4-SFP_NOT_SUPPORTED: The SFP in Gi1/0/1 is not supported
This is ok as I had a backup:- Next step tried using 2 x Short Haul SFP SX GBIC's with LC - LC OFNP 50/125 fibre patch lead - no joy- Extra backup of 2 x Long Haul SFP LX GBIC's with the same fibre patch - no joy- Checked the fibre and it was not a cross over so transmit and receive going down the same side, switchedand still would not come up.- Used Fibre as a straight through and still the same.In all cases there was no indication of any life in the connection.It is pointing to a faulty fibre patch lead but I know it has worked in the past. Could it be something to do with the config or device incompatibility? Or any setting I need to activate?
We are facing cold start issue on 4500 series switch. The switch is restarting automatically almost weekly twice or thrice.As per show tech. output , there is "cold start log".Please find the attached logs for your reference.After time change , auto restart happening & am not found any log for power failure also.
How can I find out the firmware versions for IOS, modules and components of Cisco catalyst 4500 series switch. I can see the firmware version of IOS in show version command but how can I find it out for the modules or components of the switch.
We have a 4500 series switch that is running around 39% cpu utilization but seems to be dragging a bit. I did a show platform health and GalChassisVp-review has a target of 3% but an actual of 17%. All other actual values were at or below target values. I then went to show platform cpu packet statistics and in the "Packets received by Packet Queue" all queue packet values at 5 sec, 1 min, 5 min and 1 hour avg were either 0 or 1 with the exception of Esmp - that averaged 351/377/317 and 313 respectively. I then checked show platform hardware acl input entries static and the entry type InputEsmpToCPU had a whopping 10121370 hit count. All other entry types were well under that number.
i am trying to configure my HP 420 access point. I have configure different SSID on it, This access point is connected to cisco 4500 switch, i have configure trunk on up link to access point.my problem is the client are not able to get an IP address form the correct vlan if i tagged the SSID to it.
in the following the output of show run int in cisco 4500 switch:
interface GigabitEthernet3/13 description ==== HP ACCess point ==== switchport trunk allowed vlan 99,130,132 switchport mode trunk

I have seen links out there for a conversion tool to convert commands on a Catalyst type switch (6509) to newer IOS type switches(4500-e) switches but they all error out on me on a 404. Any link where I can get this conversion tool?
I am trying to connect a SF200-48 switch via Mini-GBIC MGBLX1 fibre module to a Cisco 3750 switch with a GLC-SX-MM fibre module installed both running a 1000 Mbps. When connected together they do not enable. Are there compatibility restrictions or is it that the Mini-GBIC modules cannot be used to uplink to a LAN?
It has ip helper configured that points to DHCP.From 4500 switch port - port x connects to 2960 port.Port x is configured as trunk between 4500 and 2960.
2960 config vlan 10 name data
All user ports are configured under vlan 10 and as access ports.Port x is trunk port connected frpm 2960 to 4500 switch allowing vlan 1 and 10 only.This switch has no default gateway configured.
We connected user PC on 2960 switchports and they were able to get the IP from DHCP server and were able to access the network? My question is how users on 2960 switch are able to access the network without ip default-gateway configured on 2960 switch?
I have configured a SVI in my 4500 ( Sup 7-E 10GE,,,,,,and,,,,,cat4500e-universalk9.SPA.03.02.00.SG.150-2.SG.bin) switch and it is showing Down Down, because there were no active switch port in the vlan, I added one switch port to this vlan but this port also in the down state, so i added the SWITCH PORT AUTO STATE EXCLUDE command under this port, even after this also the SVI never came up, So i added one systen to the port so both the switch port and the SVI came up...So why SWITCH PORT AUTO STATE EXCLUDE command have no effect in this model of the switch..
