Cisco Switching/Routing :: Stacking A 3750X With 3750Gs

Jan 23, 2013

We currently have a stack of 3750G switches that are running 12.2(46)SE C3750-ADVIPSERVICESK9-M
 
Our 3750X is currently running 15.0(2)SE C3750E-UNIVERSALK9-M and I believe we were told you can't stack with a Universal IOS image. We have the universal on there because we have some 10GB fiber connections on it that Cisco told us wouldn't work otherwise.
 
I realize that the switch versions need to match, but the question is, which version should we work off to have use of the 10GB SFP card?

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Stacking With 3750X?

Jan 1, 2013

There seems to be a lot of conflicting information on what can and can't stack together in the 3750X range.
 
I know that LAN Base can only stack with other LAN Base switches.
 
Can IP Base stack with IP services in 3750X? I have also heard that the 15.x.x IOS restricts mixed feature set stacks?
 
I know that Cisco recommends that all switches in a stack have the same IOS and feature set but having all IP Services in a stack can get too expensive.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: 3750X Setting Up Power Stacking Switches

Dec 27, 2012

I'm trying to get some clarity on power stacking 3750X switches. I have a new stack of 6 switches. I know I can only have 4 in a power stack and all 6 in the data stack with a max of 8. I'm trying to find the proper way to connect the power stack cables for the 4 switch power stack.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Power Stacking For 3750x - Both Cables Needed?

Jun 7, 2012

Suppose I have a 3 member stack of 3750x switches.  Members a, b and c.I have all 3 members stacked with all 3 *data* stacking cables in a daisy-chain topology.  The 50 cm data stacking cable from switch a (on the very top) to switch c (on the very bottom) just barely reached.Of course, that means the 30 cm *power* stacking cable didn't reach between a & c.  Right now, the power stacking cable goes from a to b, and then another cable from b to c.  Leaving me with a useless extra 30 cm power stacking cable.
 
My question is, can switch "a" receive power from switch "c" through switch "b"?  Is this just a big electrical "bus"?  What if the power supply in switch "b" is removed?Just wondering if there is a need for me to get a longer power stacking cable (one of the 150 cm power stacking cables).

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Stacking 24 And 48 Port 3750X Switches Not Working?

Dec 11, 2012

We purchased a number of 3750X 48 and 24 port switches for the College Campus. Am finally getting around to getting them inserted on the network. Working with a WS-3750X-48PF-S and a WS-3750X-24P-L. Have them stacked with the 10Gb uplink on the 48 port switch. Have not been having fun.In the boot sequence, the switches recognize they are stacked, but as soon as they finish boot, I get the message on the 48 port switch: “Stack Port 1 Switch 1 has changed to state down.” Then “Stack Port 2 Switch1 has changed to state down.” Am noticing that I have a message preceding that: “Major version mismatch with stack neighbor.”The 48 port is running c3750e-universalk9-mz.150-1.SE3, HBOOT 12.2(53r)SE2.The 24 port is running c3750e-unversalk9-mz.122-55.SE3, HBOOT 12.2(53r)SE2Most of our 3750X and older switches are running 122-55 or 122.58 code. IP base or Universal. There is speculation that the problem is the 24 Port is Lan base, as the part number might indicate. (WS-C3750X-24-P-L.... I think that is the part number) and the 48 is IP base. Both switches are Universal, and my understanding is that they don't care about LAN or IP Base until you enable a function that falls in the IP Base domain. Then I have to call Cisco Licensing.For these switches, LAN Base is fine, based on the boot message, I feel the real problem is 122-55 versus 150-1 in the stack. So.. the question is: Do I downgrade the 48 port to match what we have in our environment, and what is on the 24 port switch. Or... Upgrade the 24 port switch to match the 48 port switch and have an installation that is not consistent with our environment? I do have two more edge closets to install with this purchase of 3750X 48 port switches.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Catalyst 3750X Stacking Convergence Time?

Nov 14, 2011

convergence time in case of stack master will be switched over to other switch.In my understating, when the stack master will be switched over to other switch based on election algorithm, convergence time will be less than 10 second.
 
I tried to calculate concersion time during fail over testing but convergence time was 21 second. I think it is too long...

Expected reasons

・I configured Rapid Spanning tree protocol between L3 and L3. (But RSTP's convergence time is 2~3 second..)

Cisco Switching/Routing :: 3750X - 48PS Switches Power Stacking

Mar 28, 2012

In my office we bought 7 cisco 3750X - 48PS switches. We configured Data Stacking between those switches. We also want to configure Power Stacking between those 7 devices.
 
I found in the Data Sheet that we can only configure 4 devices in power stacking at a time. If it is like that how to configure the rest of 3 devices. Need configuring power stacking between those devices in a better way..

power stack cable part no we have is
CAB-SPWR-30CM

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Stacking 3750g And 3750x - Hardware Version Mismatched

Jul 18, 2012

I am trying to stack a 3750g with a 3750x. At the moment they will not stack with their current IOS as the hardware version is mismatched.
 
According to various posts this is possible as long as the same IOS is in use. The following IOS are currently in use:
 
3750g     -     c3750-ipbaselmk9-tar.122-55.SE5
3750x     -     c3750e-ipbasek9-mz.150-1.SE3
 
I have tried to downgrade the IOS on the 'X' to 122-55.SE5 however, i get errors regarding firmware incompatibility.
 
I am unable to upgrade the IOS on the 'G' to 150-1.SE3, as the size of the IOS image is larger than the available flash (Version 15 IOS for the 3750G (c3750-ipbasek9-mz.150-1.SE3.bin) is 16,074,189 bytes whereas the 3750G has 16MB of flash memory or 15,998,976 bytes total which mean the IOS will not fit).
 
Has not actually stacked these devices successfully? I understand there may be license implications of upgrading to 15 but at the moment I just want them to stack!

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Changes In TP If Replace 3750 Stack With 3750GS

Jan 4, 2013

I am replacing our 2 3750s which are in a stack and are running in VTP server mode for the domain with 2 new 3750Gs.  There are 4 trunks to other switches which bare in client mode and 2 trunks to 2 ASAs which are in active/standby mode (one in each switch).  Anyway what will happen to the VTP clients when I replace the stack as the revision number will be 1 on the server?  The clients will ignore any VTP updates from the server ?

Cisco Switching/Routing :: 3750Gs / MRTG Bandwidth Utilization Not Same As Sh Interface

Dec 19, 2011

The other day  3rd party supplier ran some stats on our Gigabit link between 2  Cisco catalyst 3750Gs.now the graphs produced showed only a Maximum output of about 100Mbps ( 5 minute intervals) yet when I do a show interface it shows a lot more always 150Mbps and more. So I did my own Perl script  doing an "sh interface" every minute and then graphed it, and the results were a lot different to the MRTG results.Questions: I know MRTG uses SNMP  to get the traffic  is there a bug in the SNMP, what OID does it use?does the "sh  interface" give the correct results?

Cisco Switching/Routing :: C3750-X Stacking Configuration

I am having troubles to get 2 C3750-X switches WS-C3750-X-48P-L) to stack.   They are both running  iOS 15.0(2)-UNIVERSALK9, and are licensed for IP Base.
 
If I connect stack port 1 of switch 1 to stack port 2 of switch 1, and  stack port 1 of switch 2to stack port 2 of switch 2 I get the following:
 
WS-C3750-X_STACK1_SW1>show switch stack-ports summary
Switch#/  Stack   Neighbor   Cable    Link   Link   Sync      #         InPort#     Port              Length    OK   Active   OK    Changes   Loopback          Status

[Code].....
 
I have tried restarting (powering off for about 1 min and turning back on) simultaneously, and powering off switch 1 for 1 min and switch 2 for 2 min.   I have also tried both enabling the stack ports, and disabling followed by enabling.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Stacking 2960S Switches Options?

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Catalyst 2960-S Stacking Connection

Apr 11, 2012

I followed the 3-switch Redundant stacking diagram and now when I boot up the stack Switch 2 is acutally Member 3 and Switch 3 is Member 2.
 
We plan on having Port-Channels spanning across Switch 1 - Master and Switch 2 (Member 3) of identical port types. Switch 3 (Member 2) is going to have 2 10GIG port channel created.
 
Is there going to be a problem renumbering the stack as they physically sit or should I just configure the devices based on thier logical member numbers.
 
I don't understand why the stack connection is Switch 1 - 1 ----> Switch 2 -1
                                                                    Switch 2 - 2 ----> Switch 3- 1
                                                                    Switch 3 - 2 ----> Switch 1 - 2

Cisco Switching/Routing :: 3560x Stacking And Multicast Traffic

Dec 20, 2012

I am trying to resolve a situation where we need to send multiple (2 atleast) multicast feeds from a source to our multilayer switch (3560x).
 
The problem with the source is that it can only send a feed to a single switch at a given time. It can not send 2 (identical) feeds to two 3560x devices (on 2 different subnets/vlans). I was wondering if i could make the two 3560x devices appear as  1 device (using virtual  chassis system or a similar feature). I am running ip services IOS feature set (c3560e-universalk9-mz.122-58.SE2.bin).

Cisco Switching/Routing :: How To Monitor 3750 Stacking Port In LMS

May 24, 2012

I would like to ask about 3750 stacking and some Cat6 stuff...
 
1) How do we monitor 3750 stacking port in LMS?
2) Let say if I stack 3 switches, middle switch should be Master. Uplink should be at Top and Bottom. Is best practice?
3) Can we mixed 3750G and 3750X and what is result internal BW - fallback to 32Gps?
4) is there any Qos difference between WS-X6816-10G-2T and WS-X6816-10G-2TXL?
5) is there any Qos difference between MSFC5 PFC4 and MSFC5 PFC4XL?
6) What is main difference between PFC4 and PFC4XL in Sup2T?
7) Pls share more about Central and Distributed Switching in Sup2T and which card support Distributed DFCXL?

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Build Improved Redundancy Into LAN By Stacking Two 3750

I plan to build improved redundancy in to my LAN by stacking two 3750s and teaming pairs of NICs on my Dell PowerEdge servers, with each cable of the pair going to a different switch.In my mind this provides redundancy for the NICs and the switches. Does this configuration will work, and also what type of teaming is supported, as I was planning to have one NIC active and one standby, but can I run this configuration with both NICs in the team as active with load balancing?

Cisco Switching/Routing :: 3750G - Maximum Throughput Reduced By Stacking Or Any Of Other Features

Mar 21, 2012

We are experiencing output drops on our 3750G-12S (IOS 12.2.55).
 
I have monitored throughput with MRTG, but it doesn't seem that high compared to that the 3750G is supposed to handle 17.8 Mpps.
 
The 3750G's are stacked, running ospf, qos, multicast (IPTV) and etherchannel.Is the maximum throughput reduced by stacking or any of the other features?
 
I don't know if one can estimate what the maximum throughput is per ASIC or per port, but on one of the ASICs that is having drops the peak unicast load is 1.3 Mpps and multicast Mpps is 0.9 Mpps. Total ~2.2 Mpps.
 
This doesn't seem high at all and I don't understand why the drops are appearing. What I can do to find out the reason for these drops?
