Cisco Switching/Routing :: NX2000 Port Connectivity
Nov 24, 2011
I have nx2000 boxes connected to nx7000 fiber module. There is a intermittent error occuring on nx7000 fiber module.
7000 fiber module drops down and all NX2000 boxes lose connectivity. When 7000 fiber module comes up, some equipment, not all, can not be reached through console port via network. These equipment are datacenter air conditioner console port, storage controller console port (iscsi controller interfaces run fine). It seems that handshake between these equipments and NX2000 ports are not fine.

From the multiplexer 9 ethernet connections are terminating in Cisco 2960G 24 port swith and it is connected through fiber uplink to one Cisco 3560G 48 port switch in first floor, which is connected to server.
How I will configure the 3560G to make communicate with 2960G and bring all these 9 ethernet connections to server. All the 9 connections are from different IP. and server also have different IP.

I have a Win 2003 server set up as my DHCP server. It is connected to port 13 of my SRW2048 switch.
Every port from 1-12 and from 25-36 get a "Limited or No Connectivity" error when I plug an ethernet cable in them from a computer (Win XP). However, all of the other ports receive an IP address and connect to our network just fine. I've noticed that they are all in the two right hand banks of ports,though, so I'm in need of assistance as to how I can get the first two banks of ports to behave the same way. In other words, I want all of the ports on the switch to be able to populate an IP address from the DHCP server attached to port 13.

On the supervisor card of a cisco 6500 series, according to the following link, [URL] it only has 2 uplink ports on the card. Would I be correct in assuming that I only have those to ports that I can configure IP addresses on?
The cisco that is being devlivere is coming with a 48 port switch and 24 port fibre switch. Could I change any of those ports into a router port and configure IP addresses on those?
The supervisor card is a ws-sup-720-3b the 48 port switch is a ws-x6748-ge-tx the 24 port fibre switch is ws-x6724-sfp

I'm trying to enable port security on several 4507R's. When I try to configure a range of ports the switch will randomly put 1 or 2 in err-disable. It's different every time I apply the config to the same group of ports. However if I do them one at a time it seems to work. But I really don't want to configure 6 fully populated switches one port at a time. We also have a lot of 3750's and they gave me no problem using a port range. [code]

We just installed a hosted VOIP system using Cisco 7900 series IP phones. We are having a strange issue with a few computers where they pull DHCP information from our VOIP provider's DHCP server on the Internet and not our LAN DHCP server.
The switchports areconfigured as: switchport mode access
My rationale behind this is that the phones would use CDP to get their VLAN info from the providers Cisco router and the PCs would just ride on the default VLAN. But this is not the case. Computers randomly keep getting DHCP info from the provider's router. Do I have to use voice vlan x and make the switchports trunks?

I have an all gigE 3560. I don't use the management FE0 port on the back. I was thinking to use that for a 100Mbps WAN connection.
Seems to work just fine when I plugged in an test. But I am not routing across that link yet as I still need to setup the far end.
Is there any reason this would not work? I would like to not burn a gig port if the max throughput of the circuit is 100Mbps.

I have a 3750g connected to a "core" switch stack of 7 other 3750g's via 2 GigE ports in a trunk. This is currently in a switchport mode access port- channel so only the default vlan data is sent over. Now we have a need due to physical location of these switches, to allow vlan20 (DMZ) from this 3750g to the switch stack. I will configure a few ports on the switch stack for vlan20 and they need to be able to talk to the stand alone 3750g.To do this I will change the port channel on both endpoints to
-switchport trunk ecapsulation dot1q
-switchport mode dynamic desirable
also making the appropriate change on the interfaces belonging to this trunk.My question is, now that its a trunk port that carries multiple VLANs, how much is the bandwidth reduced on that 2gbps link?I have a very active VLAN (10) on the stand alone switch, but on the core I'm not going to be assigning VLAN 10 to any ports. So does traffic from VLAN10 even come across the trunk (wasting bandwidth) if no ports on the core side are assigned to it? I really just need vlan 1 and 20 (for now).

is it possible to shutdown a specific port on my 3750x and monitor this port at the same time .for example , im dealing with a mac authenticated network using port security , i want to shut down all the ports that are not used at the moment , however , if some one gets connected to the one of the shutdown ports i want to know the mac address of the user or atleast to know that i have someone who is just plugged in to the one of the shutdowned ports .

I'm fairly new to Cisco products am in the process of developing my network knowledge on a deeper level. I have a 3825 with a HWIC-4ESW and I'm struggling to fully understand how the two "see" each other. I've setup a V LAN with a layer 3 address on the HWIC and added the switch ports to it. This seemed to allow devices connected to the switch ports to talk to the built-in router ports. I thought this was all making sense until i applied an access-list to the router port. It's a simple ACL i'm just using for testing and the only thing it does is blocks telnet from anywhere. I know the ACL is setup properly because if I connect a device directly to the router port i cannot telnet to the port. However, if i connect a device to one of the switch ports, i am able to telnet to the router port successfully.
It seems that I'm missing something with how traffic flows from the switch port to the router ports and how the two "see" each other.

I have a problem where only the 2950's switches go transperant. They drop VLAN1 thus no CDP snmp packets. The users keep working fine but our NMS center keeps calling me at 3am when this happens.
These are access switches that connect to stacked 3750's. Some of the uplinks are using media converters that i have been trying to get removed. But i doubt that it could be the cause of the vlan1 going down.

Having an issue with my WLC 5500 and client connectivity. This just started today. Clients will connect for a short period of time and then drop off. WLC appears fine with the exception of a bunch of trap errors. I've rebooted the WLC but this did not clear the issue.

We have two 5548 switches connected to a pair of 6509 running in VSS mode. I am trying to understand the benefit of having bridge assurance on the uplink ports.
If we have the command spanning-tree port type network enabled we cannot do a non disruptive upgrade. If there is bridge assurance on the uplink it warns you of this. Yet if I do not run bridge assurance on the uplinks I can do a upgrade without any disruption.
Why in god would I enable bridge assurance on this VPC link if I cannot do a non disruptive upgrade?

am using GNS3, and have the 16port switching module. I have created a PC instance and connecting to f/0/0 which is a layer 3 port, I can connect via layer 3 IPs. I then reconfigured and connected the PC instance via a layer 2 port f2/0 which is part of the 16port switch module. All 16 ports are by default in vlan 1. I assigned an IP of 10.1.9.1/24 to the VLAN and gave the PC 10.1.9.2/24. I cannot ping and I cannot even ping 10.1.9.1, the VLAN 1 IP. [code]

We are in the plan of implementing a new 10gig network. For this we have chosen the Nexus 5596 and 2232 pair. What are the transceivers/accesories I should order for connecting 10Gig servers of NC552SFP dual port NICs to the 2232 in High availability (NIC 1 to 2232PP 1 and NIC 2 to 2232PP 2). Should I order the FEX SFP+ uplink conector to conect 5k and 2232 also (or its aded to the Nexus box itself) ? Also, is it fine to have Nexus 2232 in floor 2 and Parent neus in Floor 3 (say seperatd by a max of 400meters)?

Currently have a setup where we have multiple SVI interfaces in a VRF on a Catalyst 6500 Switch. All these SVI belong to the same VRF. In order to achieve connectivity for hosts within the VRF to access hosts outside the VRF (Hosts reachabe via the Global Routing Table (GRT)) I am thinking I need to configure 2 things
1. Creating a summary route for all the subnets within the VRF in the Global Routing table.
<Config on 6K in Global Routing Table>
Note: 10.10.10.10 is the ip address of loopback 10 and this loopback 10 is in VRF Red
ip route 172.16.0.0 255.255.0.0 loopback10 10.10.10.10
2. Create a couple static routes within the VRF for networks that reside in the Global Routing table but which are not local to this 6K.
<Config on 6K within the VRF Routing Table>
Note: 1.1.1.1 is the ip address of loopback 1 and this loopback 1 is in the GRT or not assigned to a VRF
ip route vrf Red 172.32.32.0 255.255.255.0 loopback1 1.1.1.1 global
ip route vrf Red 172.32.40.0 255.255.255.0 loopback1 1.1.1.1 global
ip route vrf Red 172.32.50.0 255.255.255.0 loopback1 1.1.1.1 global
I have read through some posts and it seems to indicate that I cannot point to a loopback interface as it is not a point to point interface. How this solution can be achieved. The reason I was pointing to a loopback was so that I am not tied to a particular physical interface and for the summary route that was created in step 1 really not sure what L3 interface I could point to since I have multiple SVI's that are in the same VRF. Would I also need to create that same summary within the VRF. I don't intend to since I am assuming that once within the VRF the more specific connected interfaces would take affect and forward respectively.
In addition to the above I also need determining the forwarding behavior when there is a ip helper address configured under the SVI's which are in a VRF but the ip address for that helper is not part of the VRF. I would think if a static route is configured under the VRF for that helper address network pointing it to the Global Routing table it should work. The config for that would be
ip route vrf RED 172.32.52.5 255.255.255.255 loopback1 1.1.1.1 global

I am running those modules in my Cisco 6500 chassis and having lot of connectivity issues. I lose network connectivity every 5-6 day at around the same time. I have (2) C7000 Chassis with HP VC-Flex 10 Modules connected via 20Gb LAB to each Cisco Cisco 6513 Switches. However, the OA Modules on C7000 are connected via 1Gb uplink to either 6548 and 6148 modules. I beleive this is causing the netwok connectivity issues.What modules would be recommended to replace 6548 and 6148 who only meant to be used for 1Gb desktop connectivity, and not for Server Farm.
When you use either the WS-X6548-GE-TX or WS-X6148-GE-TX modules, there is a possibility that individual port utilization can lead to connectivity problems or packet loss on the surrounding interfaces. Especially when you use EtherChannel and Remote Switched Port Analyzer (RSPAN) in these line cards, you can potentially see the slow response due to packet loss. These line cards are oversubscription cards that are designed to extend gigabit to the desktop and might not be ideal for server farm connectivity. On these modules there is a single 1-Gigabit Ethernet uplink from the port ASIC that supports eight ports. These cards share a 1 Mb buffer between a group of ports (1-8, 9-16, 17-24, 25-32, 33-40, and 41-48) since each block of eight ports is 8:1 oversubscribed. The aggregate throughput of each block of eight ports cannot exceed 1 Gbps. Table 4 in the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series 10/100- & 10/100/1000-Mbps Ethernet Interface Modules shows the different types of Ethernet interface modules and the supported buffer size per port.Over subscription happens due to multiple ports combined into a single Pinnacle ASIC. The Pinnacle ASIC is a direct memory access (DMA) engine that transfers packets between back plane switching bus and the network ports. If any port in this range receives or transmits traffic at a rate that exceeds its bandwidth or utilizes a large amount of buffers to handle bursts of traffic, the other ports in the same range can potentially experience packet loss. The buffer assignment on these modules is documented in Buffers, Queues & Thresholds on Catalyst 6500 Ethernet Modules.A SPAN destination is a very common cause since it is not uncommon to copy traffic from an entire VLAN or multiple ports to a single interface. On a card with individual interface buffers, the packets that exceed the bandwidth of the destination port are silently dropped and no other ports are affected. With a shared buffer, this causes connectivity problems for the other ports on this range. In most scenarios, shared buffers do not result in any problems. Even with eight gigabit attached workstations, it is rare that the provided bandwidth is exceeded.
The switch can experience degradation in services when you configure local SPAN in a switch, especially if it monitors a large amount of source ports.
This problem remains if it monitors certain VLANs and if a large number or ports is assigned to any of these VLANs.Even though SPAN is done in hardware, there is a performance impact since now the switch carries twice as much traffic. Since each linecard replicates the traffic at ingress, whenever a port is monitored, all ingress traffic is doubled when it hits the fabric. The capture of traffic from a large number of busy ports on a linecard can fill up the fabric connection, especially with the WS-6548-GE-TX cards, which only have an 8 Gigabit fabric connection.The WS-X6548-GE-TX, WS-X6548V-GE-TX, WS-X6148-GE-TX, and WS-X6148V-GE-TX modules have a limitation with EtherChannel. For EtherChannel, the data from all links in a bundle goes to the port ASIC, even though the data is destined for another link. This data consumes bandwidth in the 1-Gigabit Ethernet link. For these modules, the sum total of all data on an EtherChannel cannot exceed 1 Gigabit.

RACK 1 is the old rack and NEW RACK is the rack which is going to be procurred for some new Servers. All the Servers in the RACK 1 has a default gateway as PIX Inside IP. As of now the 3560 Switches acts as Layer 2 and does not have L3 IP routing enabled. How can I enable conenctivity between 192.168.36.0 range and 192.168.57.0 range wihtout making any change to current PIX inside IP address 192.168.57.1?Is it possible that I can enable IP routing on the 3560 Switches , create interface VLAN 36 and since already Switch 2 has it 's default gateway as 192.168.57.1 , Would the traffic from 192.168.36.0 be routed to 192.168.57.1 ? Or do I need to create static route for that ?Since L3 Routing is not enabled and since the 3560 Switches are just acting as L2 , the VLAN 2 - 192.168.57.0 range does not have any interface VLAN configured. When it is changed I would need to create interface VLAN 2 on 3560 Switches?

We recently had a pair of Nexus 5k switches setup in our network. We had professional services handle the initial configuration but they weren't able to setup config sync for us. Each Fex is connected to each 5k, so we need a switch-profile to maintain a consistent setup on our interfaces. I went through the process in Configuring Switch-Profiles, but when I check the status of the peer, it says not reachable. [code]

I haven't worked with infrastructure much lately but planning on replacing a Dell switch used for a small iSCSI SAN with a Cisco 3560x. Switch is sstorage ONLY, network handled through different switches. I believe I want to disable spanning tree and configure trunking for the 4 GB ports connected to the storage array. The switch is providing connectivity to SAN via multiple GB connections and then also multiple GB connections to 3 Vmware hosts.Can you look over the changes I made to config below and let me know if I am on the right track.
I also plan to add a second switch later with the 10GB modules to interconnect for redundancy (but not worried about that part for now). I do not plan on using jumbo frames.
Here are my questions
1) Is the best way to globally disable spanning tree for the switch?
2) Did I trunk the ports correctly below?
3) Should I apply any specific SmartRoles to the 4 SAN NICs (GE1-4) or to host NICs (GE13-20)?
4) Anything additional I should do to handle iSCSI data?
Here is a copy of the config so far with my changes marked in RED.

I've configured an ASA 5510 FW with asa901-k8 ios. on it's "inside" port there is 10.90.0.0 network. there is another network (10.190.0.0) in my system that can be reached via another router which has 10.90.0.253 ip address. when a client in the 10.90 network wants to reach the 10.190 network the fw redirects the request to the router (10.90.0.253) because the fw is my gateway. there is no problem so far... but... while i can ping and traceroute a 10.190... user from 10.90... network, i can't use any non-icmp appliactions. for example i can't use rdp programs, http web interfaces of some devices on remote network (10.190.0.0). what can cause that? is there any rule in asa that blocks these protocols?

Currently we have a 6513 core (running IOS and doing limited routing) with VLAN Trunking to about a dozen 3560 edge switches, with various VLANs going to each of the edge switches. All works well. We are downsizing and replacing the 6513 core with a 3750G stack. We have the stack up and running in the lab, and want to slowly (as we move floors) migrate all of the edge switching to the 3750 stack.
The plan is to connect the 3750 stack to the 6513, then slowly migrate the edge switches to the stack (from the 6513). I would like to put in place 4 x 1GB trunk links between the 6513 and the 3750 stack before I start moving edge switches to ensure adequate bandwidth. Once all of the edge switches are on the new 3750 stack, I will start to decommission the 6513.
What is the best way to configure the links between the cores (old 6513 and new 3750 stack)? I can easily get the edge switches configured to the 3750, but am worried about the core links. I really want to avoid having to perform an all-at-once cutover of the cores. Another question is when do I try and migrate the VTP server role from the 6513 to the 3750 stack? I could simply make everything transparent, and ditch server-based VTP, as we rarely change or creat VLANs.

In the existing network we have Cisco 2811 router connected to Corporate MPLS cloud. Cisco 2811 is connected to Catalyst 6509 switch(set based IOS with MSFC card). Along with that we have two Catalyst 5509. We are upgrading the access layer by replacing catalyst switches with Nexus 5548 & 2248.
For a purpose of testing I have connected 5548 & 2248. Created cPC and ether channels between two. SVI and HSRP configuredon 5548. I am terminating 2651 (test router) on 2248 port 101/1/1. On 5548 I have enabled EIGRP on vlans. I am unable to ping to 2651 from nexus switch 5548 and vice-versa. I can see both devices on CDP but I do not see eigrp neighborship formed.
What configuration should go in 2248 and 2651 in order to establish a connection between two? If test is successful then I will connect 2811 to 2248 during actual migration. I assume that in testing if it works for 2651 then it must work on 2811 router.

Randomly when I try to access to 2950 from management tools, switch is unreachable, I have to access from other switch and reload 2950.
Problem only is from managemt tool to managament vlan 1 2950.
The strange thing is that management interface is encountering a very fast increase of throttles, broadcast and ignored packets:
2950#show interfaces vlan 1
Vlan1 is up, line protocol is up
Hardware is CPU Interface, address is 0023.3488.fd65 (bia 0023.3488.fd65)
Internet address is xxxxxxxxxx
MTU 1500 bytes, BW 1000000 Kbit, DLY 10 usec,
reliability 255/255, txload 1/255, rxload 1/255

It could be a hardware problem?, IOS has been upgraded.

Recently we observed that newly installed WS-C3560CG-8PC access switches are able to communicate without a default route or default gateway.The 3650 switches are used as a layer2 access switch behind a layer3 distribution/core. They have only the management VLAN configured for IP with a single address.
The ARP table looks like there is an implicit proxy-ARP request sent for any IP address.
We definitely have no configuration whatsoever which would explain this.
Is this a new feature? We don't observe that with the older 2960-series...
Here is a brief trace of what's happening (debug arp):
host41#ping 1.1.1.1
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 1.1.1.1, timeout is 2 seconds:
Sep 20 14:44:06.706: IP ARP: sent req src 10.1.8.41 1833.9dc9.wxyz,
dst 1.1.1.1 0000.0000.0000 Vlan1
Sep 20 14:44:06.711: IP ARP: rcvd rep src 1.1.1.1 2c54.2dd3.wxyz, dst 10.1.8.41 Vlan1..
[code]....
The mac address if of course the mac address of the layer 3 interfaces of the distribution switch, no surprise here (proxy ARP is turned on by default).
Why is the 3560 sending out proxy arp requests without being told to? As far as I understood proxy ARP on Cisco IOS it only means it will reply to a proxy ARP request but will not send out proxy ARP requests by default.

We currently have 2 6509s with redundant Sup720-3b's and PFC3B daughter cards which are connected together over dark fibre using the Gb fibre connectivity built into the supervisors.
The requirement is to upgrade this connection to 10Gb as inexpensively as possible.
Do I need to purchase new supervisors in order to do this properly or can I use a separate 10Gbe module (we have a spare slot), i.e. can I get away without using the connectivity built into the supervisors?
The other idea I had was putting a couple of 3750-X switches at each end to sit in front of the 6509s and provide the 10Gb connectivity between sites. I could then use the existing Gb uplinks on the supervisors whilst also providing connectivity for some devices that currently connect to the 6509s but could just as well connect here.

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?
