I am trying to use a Tekradius Windows2008 server to aaa authenticate switch admin logins. The Radius server and 6509 loop0 are in a management VRF "netman". I can happily ping to and from the Server and loopback0 interface without issue. I have also tested the radius server account using RadiusNT on a workstation. I get an accept reply with the following variables..
shell:priv-lvl=15
NAS-Prompt
Here are the relevant parts of my config as far as I can see..
aaa new-model
aaa group server radius SRADIUS

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a 6509 running catOS that i had to do some routing changes on this weekend. I guess i forgot to set the default route so now I can't login or ping from outside the local subnet and because of acl restrictions on the vty lines can't login from a device within the local subnet. I can login to the sup module so i'm trying to figure out if there is way to get to the switch from the sup like you would access the sup from the switch by inputting the command session 15 or session 16, is there a way to do the reverse to get to the switch from the sup?

View 1 Replies View RelatedSuffered a big outage on the network, the fix was to reload the module 3 on the 6509 switch, we had these errors on the log %CONST_DIAG-SW1_SP-3-HM_PORT_TEST_FAIL: Switch 1 Module 3 TestUnusedPortLoopback Port(s)[24,46] failed. System operation continues.in the end, we reloaded the card and it was all ok. is there anything I can do to check the card / or any deeper logs? would that error cause the card to crash?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a 6509-E chassis that was prevoius in a VSS configuration. Due to some VSL failures I had to cobvert it to a standalone chassis but would like to bring it back to a virtual system.
Whenever I try to convert it by using the command "switch convert mode virtual" I get the msg %Please configure local switch number first". After doing so by entering the CLI cmd "switch set switch_num 1 local" I still get the same message.
in my 6509 switch while i checked is showing some thing like this RDCCI65F0#sh environment
environmental alarms:
no alarms

View 1 Replies View RelatedI was trying to uplink a switch today on a 1500m run of SMF. I have a 6509 core switch with a 16 port GBIC module. On that end I have a WS-G5486-LX with a 3m SC to LC patch cable.On the other end I have a 3750G with a GLC-LH-SM SFP. I have checked my fiber path and it seems good, (by sight, did not have an OTDR avialable).I can't get the link up at all. Tried swapping Tx Rx at one end, Tried different transceivers. Tried different patch cables. Nothing worked. At about the mid-point of my fiber run the cable passes through another network closet with a core switch for a separate network. If I break my fiber path there and try to connect in either direction it works. The only differences are the length of the fiber run and that the core switch on the other network has a CLC-LX-SM SFP.Is it the distance? Or is there some issue connecting a GLC-LH-SM to a WS-G5486-LX?

i tried disabling the diagnostic monitor for the module, did a power enable module command and then reset it but it still fails. this is the third blade that i am replacing in a few weeks and i still get the same error. i am persuded that it is not a hardware since it is the third blade in a matter of weeks. after the module reset, i receive this error % module 3 is operationally off (FRU-power failed)
could an ios upgrade solve this issue? are there any ios related bugs?
We have a network of 30 VLANS and currently all the vlans have access to everything. We are using Cisco 6509 switch for Layer3 routing.I would like to prevent some VLANs accessing the server VLANs. How can I restrict access to the server VLANs?Do i need to implement access-lists on the 6500 switch? or do i need to create VLANS on the firewall so that all traffic i filtered ?

View 2 Replies View Relatedi'm already has one internet connection is conecting directily to the Core Switch 6509, and the Switch is route any internet request with default route:
SW6509-conf)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.170.10.10
10.170.10.10 is --> Next hop for the DSL router internal IP, and it's working fine.
We have a new internet connection with another ISP/ with another DSL router, how to connect both of them to exit from the Core Switch 6509.
is it ok if i make another default route to the Next hop to the new DSL router as:
SW6509-conf)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.80.10.10
10.80.10.10 is --> Next hop for the new DSL router internal IP.
I recently ran an upgrade on my 6509-E's and when the first switch came back up, 3 of the 10/100 switches that were in the chassis did not power on. After further investigation, these models are not supported by this latest IOS version. The module # is : WS-X6248-RJ-45
We have one WS-X6348-RJ-45 and since it was a few weeks ago I did this I can't remember for sure but I believe this one came up.
Where can I found the information regarding this being unsupported but I know it is out there and any page that showed me that this was unsupported with the latest stable IOS of 12.(33).
In addition to this question, I have approval to purchase some newer gigabit switches that will be supported by this new IOS version and hopefully at least the next few over the next few years. Which specific gig models are currently and hopefully should be supported for the next few years? I don't need PoE or anything spectacular, just regular switches that are attached to either servers or virtual hosts. I've been looking at the lists of what is out there and it seems like there are hundreds of different models and it is becoming difficult to determine what is what.
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?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am getting very slow window file transfer speed (4 Mbps per second) between two connecting servers in Cisco 6509 switch. I have connect the two laptops in 6509 switch in same module using the same vlan and try to copy the files from one laptop to another and vice versa and got the same speed on 4 to 5 Mbps per second. Switch utilization is not more than 10% and both the laptops are connected in 1 Gbps full duplex.
I have checked by removing the gateway in both laptop but the output is same.
I am planning to upgrade the current core switch(3750) to 6509 series switch. Since we have a production network running we have to plan for an online core switch upgrade.

Current topology in network is such: web servers with content needing to be load balanced are in vlan 35 and these servers are directly connected to Core switch (two 6509 VSS) via 20 Gb EtherChannel. Vlan 35 also spans some other switches with other servers residing in this vlan. Additionally, there are dozens of another vlans (including external users) that need to communicate with web servers. IP addresses of these two web servers are: 192.168.35.1/24 and 192.168.35.2/24 accordingly with default gateway 192.168.35.254/24 (SVI on Core switch). Currently these ip addresses are used by management and other purposes and need to be reachable for same purposes after configuring load balancing with ACEs - it is needed to have direct access to servers behind ACE. How I can do that using ACE in routed mode?
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe have our Nexus as our default gateway (101.1) and the default VLAN1 is setup with two subnets 101.X and 102.X. The DHCP server is using a superscope setup to accomodate the overflow of devices requesting IPs on 101, so when 101 is consumed persons are able to obtain a 102.X IP address. The setup is basic on superscope. The issue is some times the routing to the firewall with a 102.X is not always 100%. Somedays all goes well and the 102 subnet is routed out to the firewall and its a good day. However, such as today a 102.X address is not routing as it did 24 hours ago. I am perplexed as to why this is behaving unpredicatable. Here is running-config for VLAN1 to show the 102 as secondary address to VLAN1.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to have multiple dhcp pools for multiple VLANs? The switch is a 6509 and/or 4506 catalyst. I don't want to use server-based products.
View 5 Replies View RelatedWe currently have an existing 6506 in data center that we want to add another 6506 to and do a VSS implementation.I'm trying to minimize down time so our current basic plan was to do the following:
1. Bring up the new 6506 and configure it for VSS
2. Trunk a port between the new 6506 and the production 6506
3. Physicall move connections from the production 6506 to the newly connected VSS switch
4. After all physical ports have been moved, power off the original 6506 swap the supvisor card out for the new 2T Sup card
5. Configure original 6506 for the virtual domain and then connect the VSL's.
According to the documentation, to run "switch convert mode virtual" the standby unit has to be in hot standby. This means I can't run this prior to moving the connections over, which means once I run "switch convert mode virtual" it will reboot the switches (~ 9 minutes of down time). Is there anyway around this?
What is the preferred access switch for new deployment. Choosing between 3850 and 3750x. I have to say that the 3850 wireless features will not be used in this deployment and 4 switch for stack is enough... Looked and read everything that I found in the press, I can not make an informed choice. I bow to 3850, but I was apprehensive following circumstances:1) not too positive reviews2) to long list of open caveats3) to long list of features are not supported in Cisco IOS XE Release 3.2.0SE4) IOS XE : (With regard to the first three points - yes, I understand that the product is new and it has not gone further stage of "childhood diseases" ...Regarding the fourth point - I understand correctly that this is the direction to be moving Cisco Systems and soon all products migrate from classical IOS to IOS XE and so on?
