Cisco Switching/Routing :: Lights On All 3750-X Switches Blinking Rapidly?

Jan 21, 2013

We recently installed 15 of these switches, and we're having a few odd, random network issues. But before I enumerate those issues, I have a simple question: are the connection lights on these switches *supposed* to blink rapidly? Or are they supposed to blink *normally*?On all other switches I've ever seen / worked on / worked around, when a cable is plugged into a port, the connection lights blink upon network activity. sometimes they blink a little faster when there's lots of activity, but mostly it's an almost lazy, random kind of blinking.  When you look at a switch and every light on every port that's connected is blinking very rapidly, your first instinct is "No *wonder* nothing works around here!" and you find the port that's chattering and unplug it...all the blinkies go back to normal.Well, on the 15 switches we've installed, every light that's on blinks rapidly, as if there's an uncontrolled storm going on. Is that the "new norm"? Did I miss the memo, and there is nothing to be worried about here? Or are the rapidly blinking lights telling me there is, indeed, a problem?

Cisco Switches :: DI-655 Router - No Blinking Activity Lights

May 24, 2012

My previous setup was a ProSafe GS108 switch, 10/100 Dlink router/switch used only as a switch, and a DI-655 router/switch.  With this setup, activity when I wasn't using any of my computers was zero.  There would be no blinking activity lights.
 
I dumped the ProSafe and 10/100 switch, and use the DI-655 only for my internet uplink and wireless, and now have everything else plugged into a Cisco GS200 switch.  There is activity now every two seconds.  I presume this prevents the Green energy saving features from kicking in as the ports are in use.
 
What's the difference that's leading to all this activity that presumably wasn't there before?

Apr 5, 2012

I  have a 3750-48P when plugged in has fans that spin up, but no lights on the front of the chassis.  Does this mean the power supply is bad?  If its bad, why do the fans power up? Also, i am not receiving any data through the console.

D-Link DIR-615 :: All Lights Blinking Including Power?

Jul 11, 2012

I came home after a few days vacation to find all the lights blinking on my router.  I have tried unplugging and rebooting.  Same result.  I then bypassed the router and have internet on my main computer so I know it is a router issue.   I use the router for my laptop and cell phone.  Do I need to figure out how to do a master reset or is the router toast?

E4200 - LED Lights On Router Keep Blinking Orange?

May 1, 2013

I have a Cisco E4200 router connected behind my Comcast cable modem.

The small LED lights located at each network cable plug-in on my router are continually blinking orange all at the same time over and over.

I also notice on all my computers that are wired to this router the small LED lights near the network card plug-in are also blinking orange.

what these orange lights mean and if I have a problem?

My internet service seems to work OK but I'm not sure what is causing all these orange LED's to blink and is there something wrong that imay be slowing my system down.

I have upgraded my Cisco router to the latest firmware and also power reset my cable modem and router several times with no change in the problem.

Cisco Routers :: WRVS4400N V2 Power And Diag Lights Blinking And Does Nothing Else

Feb 4, 2012

I have been given the task of unbricking a WRVS4400N V2 router.  It just sits there with the Power and Diag lights blinking and does nothing else.I'm thinking I'm going to have to try to find some way to flash the firmware, because I'm seeing that this is a common problem with this router.I already tried support "chat" online, but after about 20-30 minutes waiting for someone to actually come into the chat room, I gave up.I did note that this model is not being sold anymore and won't be supported before very long, so this may be a gigantic waste of time, but I thought I would give it a shot.

Cisco WAN :: 3550 - Blinking Green / Amber Lights On Ports?

Jul 11, 2011

I am replacing an old Catalyst 3550 (that has 2 Gig ports) with a 3750 (that has 4)- I used the exact same configuration in the new switch.  When I plugged in the new 3750, the trunk ports started blinking from green to amber.  I dont know why this is occuring- it SEEMS to be fine, but we havent thrown a whole bunch of traffic over it.

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT150N All Lights On Front Are Blinking

Feb 9, 2008

I had successfully set up my new WRT150N router and it was working.  But then it just stopped after about 12 hours.  All the lights on the front of the router are blinking.  When I directly connect to the router, my computer can't detect it.  I've browsed through these forums a bit and tried a few things - the reset button (60 seconds), unplugging the router, downloading the EasyLink Connect tool, but I'm still stuck.

Linksys Wireless Router :: E1000 Lights Blinking Erratically

May 7, 2011

When I came home tonight, the lights on my E1000 hardware version 1 (that I have had for only 9 months) were, as best as I can describe, blinking like a digital clock blinks 12:00 over and over. All of the blue LEDs would light up at once, and go off, repeatedly and rapidly. This is the second time this has happened - the first time (about two weeks ago) I called a techie friend and he had me hard reset the router (30 on 30 off 30 on) and it worked, I just had to set up my wireless network again. This time, I just unplugged the cable from the back of the router, waited about 15 seconds and plugged it back in, and it went back to normal.
 
In case someone may be wondering, unplugging the from the surge protector did NOT work; when I first noticed the lights blinking, I unplugged it from the surge protector, waited about 10 seconds, and plugged it back in; the lights continued their rapid erratic blinking. I then did what I described above - I plugged it back into the surge protector, and then unplugged it from the back of the router, waited, and plugged it back in and it was back to normal.
 
I thought perhaps it needed a firmware upgrade, but checking the website, while I was able to locate the site to upgrade the firmware for E1000, I could only see an upgrade for hardware Version 2, and my router is Version 1 - which, from what I understand, is NOT what I want, as that firmware is for a different hardware version and may cause problems on my Version 1 router.
 
While my router seems to be fine now. Is my router starting to kick the bucket already? I haven't had it that long - bought it last September. Do I need to upgrade any software or firmware for it? If so, where do I get the correct upgrade for my hardware version?

Cisco Switching/Routing :: 3750 Stackable Switches Etherchannel To Core Switches

Nov 18, 2011

If I have two stackable switches one switch uplinks to one 6509 core switch and the other connection uplinks to another 6509 core switch, and also the other stackable switch does not connect to the core switches. Because I am using hsrp and also we are not using vss then one uplink to the core is not in used only ones is so then how does creating an etherchannel between does two uplinks to both core switches benefit me in anyway such as more bandwith and using both uplinks at the same time or I'm I wrong?

Linksys Wireless Router :: Power Outage - E1000 Lights Blinking

Apr 28, 2011

I am on a surge protector and we lost power last night.  This morning we were stilling experiencing a brown out but now the power is back 100%.  I've walked through the E1000 router reset and not matter what I do, all the lights except the power light blink rapidly and dimly.  Could the router be fried even though it's on a surge protector????  It's less than 6 months old so hopefully still covered by warranty.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: InterVlan Routing With 3750 And 2960 Switches?

Nov 21, 2012

I am using a 3750 as a default gateway for multiple Vlans on a few 2960 switches. The trunk lines are configured and working and I have assigned ip addresses to each of the Vlan interfaces on the 3750. My issue is that I can only ping the ip address on the Vlan interface of the 3750 if I have a working computer plugged directly into the Vlan on the 3750. I only have 3 vlans on the 3750 that have hosts directly connected (vlans 2, 10 and 40) the other vlans ( 20 and 70) don't have any clients plugged into them on the 3750 but the hosts reside on 2 different 2960s that connect via trunk ports. How do I keep the vlan interface on the 3750 switch pingable when I don't have hosts directly connected in that vlan on the 3750? (yes, I have enabled ip routing on the 3750)

Cisco Switching/Routing :: L3 Routing On 3750 Switches?

Jan 21, 2013

I have a small campus network using 3750 stackable switches  and a 3725 router (see diagram below). Currently the 3725 router is handling inter-vlan routing for the campus and it looks like it's not able to handle the amount of traffic we're pushing. The router CPU sometimes hits above 90% due traffic load. What I would like to accomplish is move L3 process over to the 3750 MDF stack and the IDF1 stack. I am thinking creating SVI's on both MDF stack and IDF1 stack, run HSRP between the two stacks and may be do load balance traffic between the two stack as well.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: 3750 - Running 7 To 9 Switches In One Stack

Aug 6, 2012

Looking for feedback from other organizations that have large 3750 stacks.  I've got one stack of (8) 3750's composed of (6) 3750G's and (2) plain 3750's.  This particular stack is usually unresponsive to SNMP queries and often fails to write config when we make changes.  After a couple tries it will finally go.  Part of my probably here is likely the plain 3750's that always boot faster and come up as the master.  I should manually set the master to one of the G's.  What I'm wondering is who else has 7-9 3750's stacked and are they performing well for SNMP, telnet, etc?  I've got another newer stack of 7 3750E's that I need to add one more switch to.  Need to decide if I want extended downtime to break the stack up or just add the 3750X to make member 8 and hope it performs well.  I have 50+ 3750 stacks working great on our campus.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: QoS / Queue Drops On 3750 Switches?

Apr 30, 2013

We currently have a  site with a very simple topology that uses a 3750X switch stack for a  collapsed core. Everyday, the users have a conference call and  experience poor voice quality.Its not bad when users call from several  conference phones, but when everyone calls in on individual phones,  there is choppy and almost inaudible voice quality experienced. The  voice traffic flow would be as follows: Phone <-> 3750 switch  <-> Voice GW We  have packet captures showing that RTP packet loss is occuring from the  phone to the voice gateway, but none from the voice gateway to the  phones. We also have drops in the output queues that match drops on the  asics. I can reset the counters and they will be clear until the call,  and then they increment significantly during the call. The voice gateway  and phones are non-Cisco. The switch stack has 6 switches. We are trusting the DSCP settings on the  phones. All the queue drops from the phones are usually in queues 0-3,  but all drops on the voice gateway is in queue 0. Below are the QoS  settings; they are mostly default and we have not changed any queuing,  thresholds, or buffers. Should we specify larger buffers and threshold  for a designated queue and send EF traffic to that queue?

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Connecting 3750 And 3650 Switches Together

Sep 16, 2012

I have a small network using a 24 port 3750 switch.  I need to add five computers in another room and only have one Cat 6 cable running there and no room left on the 3750.  I got a 3650 to put in the new room with the new computers.  The problem is, whenever I plug the new switch into the 3750, it shuts down the port and gives me an err-disable.  I can do a shut/no shut and re-enable the port.  I searched the web and read about trunking and clusters.  I'm not sure which, if either, is appropriate.  I see various documentation that shows you can put one switch behind the other.  But nothing tells me the configuration which will allow it.

If I have two stackable switches one that connects to the 6509 core switch and the other switch does not, do I have to uplink the switch to the other switch so that switch has route to the core switch or because the switches are daisy chain there is not need to cable one switch to to the other switch connected to core switch?

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Auto-QoS On Catalyst 3750 LAN Switches?

Aug 12, 2012

why the AutoQoS macro does not implement "priority-queue out" when configured on the 3750 platform running certain versions of software. The only other platform I have experience with AutoQos is on the 4500 and it enables priority queuing as expected. So what's up with autoqos on the 3750 on version 12.2(35)SE5?
 
When it comes to configuring QoS on campus user/phone access ports there are some important settings that can and should be considered but one can argue that enabling the priority queue is the single most impactful or important command. So I was very surprised and concerned when I didn't see priority-queue out. Cisco describes AutoQoS as a simple, quick way of deploying QoS on the LAN and it precludes you from having to learn all of the differences between hardware platforms. But is it true that this tool produces an incomplete config solution? Let me know if I am missing something.
 
Here is an example of what AutoQoS produces when applied to a 4507 with WS-X4648-RJ45V+E:(other interface commands are left out for simplicity)
 
interface GigabitEthernet5/25description XYZ
switchport mode accessauto qos voip cisco-phoneqos trust device cisco-phoneservice-policy input AutoQos-VoIP-Input-Cos-Policyservice-policy output AutoQos-VoIP-Output-Policy
 policy-map AutoQos-VoIP-Output-Policy
class AutoQos-VoIP-Bearer-QosGroup
set dscp ef

[code]......
 
Here is an example of what AutoQoS produces when applied to a 3750 running version 12.2.(35)SE5: (no priority-queue out)
 
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/36
switchport access vlan 8
switchport mode access
