Cisco Switching/Routing :: Replacing C4507R-E With Nexus 5548UP?

Jul 25, 2012

We currently have an environment with a 4507 as the core switch connected to four stacks of 3750e's in the wiring closets. A pair of Nexus 5548UP's also hangs off the 4507, but at the moment more or less dedicated to a certain purpose..The 5548UP's have the L3 daughter card installed.
 
My question is: Can a pair of Nexus 5548UP's do a C4507's job? Would we be able to decomission the 4507 and replace with the existing 5548UP's + FEXes?

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Nexus 5548UP / Two Management Interfaces For N5k

Jan 10, 2013

I have a Nexus 5548UP that would be managed by two organizations. Is it possible to set IP addresses for mgmt0 and an SVI (or an L3 interface) without using the L3 daughter card? I don't want to route between VLANs, just to separate management traffic.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Nexus 5548UP / L3 Cannot Do Inter-VRF Communications?

Aug 28, 2012

I'm trying to get a node in SVI1 on VRF1 to speak to another node in SVI2 on VRF2 to reach each other.  After hours of failure, I went to outside resources.  Everything I read on the internet says it's not possible on this platform and at least one TAC engineer seems to agree.
 
I just can't believe such a high-end data center switch is not capable of handling such a basic feature.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Nexus 5548UP To 2248 Design

Aug 10, 2012

This past networkers I was at the Cisco booth discussing how the 2248 can connect to the 5548 and have server connectivity.  It was told to me that now, as of a fairly recent NX-OS release, you can have the 2248 going dual-homed to both 5548 via VPC and then have a server connected to both 2248 and be in active-active mode.  Is this correct?
 
When we first deployed our 5548 and 2248 we had to put the 2248 in a straight pin mode, where it only had connections to one 5548 and then the server would dual connect to the 2248's and be in active-active mode.  I was told that this changed with an NX-OS release however documentation still seems to be fragmented on what exactly is the case.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Nexus 5548UP - Management Interface

Apr 21, 2013

How separate is the management interface on a Nexus 5548?
 
In context - what's the risk of having a layer 2 only Nx5K in a DMZ and running the managment ports down into an internal managment VLAN, to form peer-keepalive links and software upgrades.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Nexus 5548UP With L3 Card / Inter-VRF Not Possible?

Aug 28, 2012

I just received a Nexus 5548 to configure as the core of the Datacenter LAN.  Is it true that the VRFs created cannot talk to each other???  I can't seem to find any documentation on how to do this and at least one TAC engineer half-heartedly believes it's not possible, either.
 
Basically, I'm trying to get an SVI in VRF1 to be able to talk to an device on another SVI in VRF2.
 
I can't believe this high-end switch, that is so capable in every regard, cannot handle this feature.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: LLDP Chassis Discovery On Nexus 5548UP?

May 1, 2012

I'm seeing several error messages like these in the logs of my Nexus 5548UP switches.

I will say that these 5548s are serving as the distribution layer for a UCS chassis (2x 6120 FIs) but didn't know what kind of visibility the Nexus would have into that - the chassis keyword is what's alluding to this in my mind, and I'm seeing these messages whenever interfaces that connect downstream to the fabric interconnects are brought up or down.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Nexus 5548UP Connectivity With Router 2811

Aug 15, 2012

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.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Nexus 5548UP Change Peer Keep Alive Link

Apr 19, 2013

I have a pair of Nexus 5548UPs that have some high priority servers running on them.  Servers are ESX hosts running Nexus 1000v's.  Each host has multple connections in a VPC to both 5548s.  We have been having intermittant ping loss and slowness of traffic to the VM's on these hosts.  I was poking around trying to figure out what the issue could be and found that the peer-keepalive command was not set to send the heart beat across the mgmt0 interface.  I would like to change this to point it accross the mgmt0 interface. Any tips or advice for me on making this change with production servers running on the switches?  I do not want to cause any loss to any systems when I make this change.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Nexus 5548UP - (Physical Address Changes) Messages In SolarWinds

Dec 9, 2012

We have recently upgraded oor LAN and we are using couple of Nexus5548UP switches in the core with 2960 stacks as access switches. Each access switches stack is connnected to both core switches with link being port-chanels and VPCs. All is working fine, but our SolarWinds management platform (NPM) is being flooded with "Physical Address changed" events. Here is an example of messages:
 
NSW_Core_2 - Ethernet1/7 Physical Address changed from 000000003811 to 73616D653811
NSW_Core_2 - Ethernet1/7 Physical Address changed from 200B82B43811 to 000000003811
 
For each interface I have messages like these repeating.I am not sure what those messages means or if there is actually anything wrong. Performance of the network is good, there are no errors on any interfaces and I do not see anything related in the switch loggs.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Need IOS Updgrade WS-C4507R

Apr 25, 2012

I have a WS-C4507R-E switch.  The current SW Ver. on it is 12.2(53)SG4-IP-BASE-CRYPTO.  I have been tasked with making sure all of our switches and routers have the most current IOS running on them. 
 
So, with that, when I look at the software available for download for my particular switch, there are several.  Some of the IOS description makes sense, but not even sure really if I do understand what I am looking at.  How do I know which software package I need to use to upgrade the switch?  This is our core switch..while yes, I would certainly back up the current switch, I would hate to be responsible for taking down the entire network due to a unfortunate misunderstanding of what I thought I read, even is it only last as long as it takes to restore from the back up.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Enabling Port Security On C4507R Shuts Down Port

Aug 13, 2012

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.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: 3825 / Replacing Routing Function With 3750 Switch?

Jul 27, 2012

I have the task of replicating the router config on a 3825 router on a 3750 switch. Reason is we are taking out the router and replacing it with the switch to make use of the router for other functions.
 
Below is main part of the router config:
 
!
ip source-route
ip cef
!
!
multilink bundle-name authenticated
!
license udi pid CISCO3825 sn FCZxxxxxxx
!
vlan internal allocation policy ascending

[code].....
 
The 3750 switch I have runs C3750E-UNIVERSALK9-M, Version 12.2(55)SE3 on a LAN BASE license.
 
The first thing I have done is to order for a license upgrade to IP BASE which would give the support for OSPF routing.I do not see much of an issue with the Interface configs, however, I am not too sure about replicating the routing config on the switch.
 
My question is can I run the commands as shown for the OSPF routing on the switch? If not, can I get suggestions on how best to set this up on the switch?

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Replacing Defective Redundant Sup-720

Oct 29, 2011

How to replace a defective redundant sup. I read on several articles that inserting new redundant sup should not be an issue as the active sup will always send its configuation to the standby. We are running SSO on the Sup720. Should I switch it to RPR before I install the redundant sup? I read a case wherein they switched it to RPR from SSO before inserting the new redundant sup. My concern is the IOS mismatch since Cisco doesn't always send the same IOS on RMAs.What I am planning is this.
 
1. Save/Backup configuration
2. Remove the redundant sup on slot 8 (since it is a 6513)
3. Insert the new redundant sup on slot 8.
4. Check if all the configurations were synced from slot 7 to slot 8.
5. Copy the IOS from sup-bootflash to slavesup-bootflash. (if the IOS are not the same)
6. Check show bootvar to see if the boot variables are correct.
7. If bootvar is the same, reload slot 8 to boot the new IOS.
 
Is this a good plan or am I missing something? I am worried with this document if the redundant sup has a different software. If i insert the card in slot8, according to Cisco, it will revert to RPR. If slot 8 boots and it has a different OS, then slot 7 will switch to RPR even if it's active. Would I still be able to access the slavesup-bootflash of slot 8? Is it going to boot 100%? I read that doing a force switchover will cause a flip and RPR would cause the line cards to reinitialize and I don't want that. Well I am not going to do a force switchover since i want slot7 to be active and retain slot 8 as hot.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Replacing 1841 12.4 Advsec With 1941 15.2M SEC/K9

Jul 2, 2012

I decided recently to switch out our border router (1841 12.4 advsecurity) with a shiny new 1941 (15.2 SEC/K9) as the CPU upgrade was needed.The core below acts as a VPN end point to various other remote offices we have, all of which have a similar network design at each end (and all entirely managed by me). All of these are still running 1841's with 12.4 advsecurity on them as well. These are all GRE tunnels with ipsec procection on them (not crypto maps). [code]
 
Everything else works fine (NAT, route-maps etc), it's just these IPSEC/isakmp tunnels that are not playing ballIt's definitely not an ARP issue (all arps were cleared) and ICMP appears to work fine (ie, I can ping the remote tunnel's public IP endpoint from the core using the loopback for that tunnel as the source). I am suspecting it's something strange with the stateful firewall config, but I did try and apply ipsec and isakmp-msft to the ip inspect list, with no success.
