Cisco Switching/Routing :: Switch Connecting Catalyst 4948 To 3750
Jan 5, 2011
I have got a new 48port Cisco catalyst 4948 switch, which I configured as a VTP client and connected to Cisco 3750 which is a VTP Server (this switch is on production network). I connected port g1/0/48 from 3750 to port g1/48 on 4948 through a straight cable and made both ports as trunk port (I also tried through cross cable). The problem is these two switches are not detecting. For testing I connected a PC directly to one of the port on 4948 (making that a switch port) still the LED on switch didn’t glow up. Is there any special command needs to be run on 4948 switches to activate its physical ports?

I want to choose a pair of switches for our data center.What I need: 48 x 1GE access ports, 2 x 10GE uplink ports.Nice feature of 3750-X is stacking. So what features has 4948-10GE? Why I should prefer that switch?

I have been looking into this for a while and I can't seem to figure out why my 2nd vlan is not able to connect properly to the net.
My switch has 12 ports where my devices connects directly, they are all on Vlan 1 and they all work perfectly. on Port 12 I have a dlink router that is connected to a cable modem. the dlink router has an Ip address of 192.168.0.20
I created a second vlan (vlan2) and enabled dhcp relay on it. then I assigned port 9 on the switch to (vlan2)my laptop which is connected to port 9 seems to get an ip address fine and able to ping only some devices on my network (vlan1) and is not able to go out to the internet. I think it has to do with the routes. [code]

In my ongoing project i need to monitor cisco 3750-X port status (uplink/downlink) i.e. whenever there is some problem at a specific port. I need to monitor it through an OPC server and right now what i am doing is as follows: i am using Kepserver and i have added SNMP driver in it for that purpose i am not a networking expert but what i have learnt till now is that SNMP agent (that resides in switch) delivers the status of MIBs to SNMP manager ( which in my case is kepserver (opc server)) for the above purpose i am adding IF-MIB to monitor OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.8 (which shows port statuses) but when i add that in OPC server then it indicated that this OID is not available in the Switch ( it might be disabled) so i need to ask if there is any way to enable OID's in a switch,

The Catalyst 3750 switch reboots, and the " Reloading because of stack merge or communication failure" error message appears.
I saw this issue at "Cisco wiki" but the resolution in that page is just "Open a case with TAC". Because of the reasion is H/W Problem.
Is The resolution only one ? anything else? The 3750 does not use Stack.It is just stand alone. So i think it has other resolution as "disabling Stack" or another one. How about my opinion ? Is the Resolution only "Open a Case with TAC"

I want to limit the bandwidth of my Catalyst 3750 series switch, I read the cisco documentation and I applied the commands but I didn't get the wanted results.
For the outbound traffic it's ok, but for the inbound traffic I used policing but I get an unstable traffic. I used, an access list and a class-map to classify the traffic and then a policy-map.(I followed the steps mentioned in this site: [URL]

I describe an issue when i need to performe an L2 or L3 Etherchannel from a Catalyst 4948 IOS Enterprise and 2 xCatalyst 6506E bandled with VSS.
From the VSS Side when i plug cables i see on the physicals and Etherchannel that Physical and protocole layer are up. On the 4948 side, I see that physical layer is up and protocol and Etherchannel interfaces are down.
On the Etherchannel port summary i see that the port state is supended.
On the first attempt, i have test with a L3 etherchannel on both side using no switchport with two IP addresses one at each side on etherchannel interfaces.
The etherchannel are bundled with LACP mode active and on the second attempt with PAGP mode ON.
The same configured on VSS 6506E work fine with Catalyst 3560E.

We are running a small network business and as funs of ciscos we own a some of the 4948s.We are facing an issue with couple of them as we get the below error message
C4K_CHASSIS-3-INSUFFICIENTPOWERSUPPLIESDETECTED:Insufficient power
supplies present for specified configuration
First thought to replace the power supply didn't actually work as we did that with no result.Power consumption is not an issue as well because all other 4948s work fine with 1 power supply (forgot to mention is 1 power supply in all of them).

I'm using a Catalyst 4948. It seems to drop all truncated packets. I don't know whether this is an expected behavior.I'm developing a program which processes packets in the following steps:
1) capture packets
2) if a packet is too long, truncate it to a certain length
3) insert a vlan tag (say 100) to each packet
4) send them to the switch
Mac address learning is disabled on the vlan 100, so the packets should be seen at all ports of the vlan. However, I only observed untruncated packets. Truncated packets seemed to be dropped by the switch.The summary of the source port is:
c4948-01#show interfaces gigabitEthernet 1/22 summary
......
Interface IHQ IQD OHQ OQD RXBS RXPS TXBS TXPS TRTL
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
* GigabitEthernet1/22 0 0 0 0 4018000 7390 2000 3 0
The receiving speed was approximately equal to what I sent.The summary of another vlan 100 port is:
c4948-01#show interfaces gigabitEthernet 1/18 summary
......
Interface IHQ IQD OHQ OQD RXBS RXPS TXBS TXPS TRTL
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
* GigabitEthernet1/18 0 0 0 0 0 0 3000 4 0
Almost no packets were output.I see a Cisco document says "ingress port drops corrupted packets" [URL] then my questions are:
1) Is this the root cause of dropping truncated packets?
2) What criteria does a switch use to check corrupted packets? My understanding is that truncated packets could have wrong L3 and L4 data, but they can't be detected at L2.
3) If switch drops mal-format packets, can we disable this feature?

I'm introducing a Cisco 3750 switch into a Avaya environment for testing/lab. I'm concerned about any STP, VTP problems I might create as I'm going to give a address on the Management VLAN and connect it to a trunk port on a ERS5520 Avaya. I've set the switch to transparent mode and the VTP revision is set to 0. I've checked the STP priority but it doesn't give any - there is no output because it is not connected. I wouldn't be so concerned but, I'm not sure if any config has been on it before.Also, is there any way for me to see the STP prioroity without having it connected?

we have multiple Video production networks, with Video servers (AVID Unity ISIS) connected by 10GE fiber links to 4948-10GE switches. On almost every of these switches, I see more or less "Sequence-Err" interface errors. We do not currently have a known problem because this, and no other errors are seen. But I would like to understand the error, and therefore I would like to find out, what a sequence error means, what the cause is, and what the impact (to a frame) is?
By the way, it is well-known that the ISIS Video server does generate very excessive UDP data bursts. Maybe this matters? On Cisco doc I did not find an answer. The document "Troubleshooting Switch Port and Interface Problems" does unfortunately not refer to "sequence-err".
Here is an example output:
WS-C4948-10GE#sh int t1/49
TenGigabitEthernet1/49 is up, line protocol is up (connected)

I'm working designing a switch system for our core/data center.
We have 5 esx hosts, 2 sans with 3 nodes each. We have voice servers, a couple of routers and a few odds and ends. There are 7 other locations aggregating into this data center via 1-2gbps fiber connections. The bandwidth usage on these links is minimal, but there is a total of about 3000 devices aggregating into the system. My main concern right now is the 3560G's are seeing many output drops, due to the small buffer size on those switches. I have been looking at couple of options to resolve this issue, including the 4948E, 4507E, and 3750X switches.
Budget being the biggest factor, I am finding that the 4507 might be out of the price range. So I was leaning towards the 4948E switches for connecting the servers and iscsi san's as the 3750X is not recommended for iscsi. Redundancy is important so I would like to have two. The second concern is that I need to aggregate the fiber connections and for that I was looking at the ME-3600X or possibly the WS-C3750X-12S-E. I'm running eigrp, so this switch would need to have full routing, as it would also serve as the core switch for the 4948E's.
So in the end I was thinking that two 4948E switches up linked to the ME-3600X which would do full routing for the fiber aggregation and any routing needed for the servers and sans.
Servers and Sans_________4948E________ME-3600X_________7 fiber connections
|____________4948E_____________|
I would look at a second ME-3600X in the future for redundancy. This is the lowest cost biggest buffer solution that I could find.

I performed an upgraded on a 4948 switch and for some reason the switch kept booting with the old IOS. I was not sure if I needed to change the boot sequence but I performed this upgrade on some of our other 4948's and no issues.I eventually deleted the older IOS version and left the latest version on and reloaded switch and now switch only boots in rommon.I managed to configure the ip info and tftp server ip etc and using the following command as suggested in the rommon help, but it keeps coming back saying 'file not found', when I have checked the file does exist in the tftp server and in the tftpboot folder.
See error message below:

Tftp Session details are ....
Filename : /tftpboot/cat4500-ipbase-mz.122-54.SG1

have 3 Catalyst 3750 in same stack, the IOS version is 12.2(53)SE2. Today we can not telnet/ssh to this switch, but ping is ok, and switch function is ok. I try to access the console port, it show "low on memory, try again later". After I reboot the master switch in the stack, the master switch change to another switch, then I can telnet/ssh to this switch. I check the Ciscoworks server syslog report, there are many MAC address flapping error message, and I beleive the MAC address flapping occured before several weeks. ( the G2/0/15 & G3/0/15 is connect to a VMware ESX server and the EtherChannel config mismatch with this Catalyst 3750 switch ) How to mention the root cause of the "low on memory" problem and what is the abnormal memory usage ( free memory percentage below ?% )?

my Catalyst 3750 switch. Following a power cut the switch no longer boots up. The SYST light flashed green but no POST checks are made. I cannot see any boot messages from the console port either. The switch was on a UPS but some thing may have damaged the switch.

There is a requirement to configure tacacs and radius on catalyst 3750X (version 15.0) where two vrf exist.Is therer a solution to configure "tacacs-server,host x.x.x.x vrf yyy" ?? I know it is possible to configure under the "aaa group server radius xxx" the command "ip vrf forwarding yyy".Is there anything else for the tacacs-server and radius-server command?

I have a network with a Catalyst 3750 as the main switch and then some Catalyst 2960 switches that are plugged in to that. I have a server running windows server 2008 with a couple of virtual machines running in Hyper-V. I created 4 VLANS listed below and gave the 3750 the following IP Address.I would like the 3750 to only be configurable from VLAN 40 but currently every VLAN can connect to it, I noticed in the standard web page settings there was a setting for "Management VLAN" but it was set to 1 and would not let me change it, I kinda assumed that was for the management port in the back.-Now the tricky part, I was trying to set up routing between the VLANs and so far I have only been able to get a sort of "all or nothing" routing to work. I can turn IP routing on and add two or more VLANs to the routing and it works fine. But what I was hoping to do is create a couple of "junction vlans" that would only route to one or two other vlans. For instance, I wanted to create a VLAN 100 that routed to VLAN 20 and 30 but nothing else. I also want to route VLAN 1 just to VLAN 30, and so on. I am able to do each one of the cases but only one, it seems like the switch only supports one "routing table" am I missing something or is this just a limitation of the switch?

I have a network with several catalyst 2960 switches and one catalyst 3750. I have created two VLAN and set up the proper routing and everything is working fine there. I have a client/server application that used multicast in the initial start up for the client to determine available servers, the issue is one of my clients is on a different VLAN then the server. I am able to route the multicast using MVR as long as both the server and the client are plugged into the 3750 by creating a static route, making the server a source port and the client a receive port. Unfortunately I need the client and the server plugged in to different 2960s. My question is how do I establish multicast routing between the two and perferably do it dynamically (always route multicast traffic from one VLAN to another).
