Cisco Switching/Routing :: 3560G / Getting Clarification On Upgrading And Licensing
May 19, 2013I currently have a 3560G switch running c3560-ipservicesk9-mz.122-58.SE2 I have a spare 3560 V2 switch I want to configure and have ready in case of a failure. This spare switch is running c3560-ipbasek9-mz.122-55.SE5 My plan was to pull the IOS image from the current switch and upload it to the spare that way I have an "idnetical" switch. From what I have read, there are some feature differences between "ipbase" and "ipservices". However, when I run the show license command on the production switch, I get an unrecongnized command error. So that throws into my confusion as if its running an ipservices image, shouldn't it have a license file?

Cisco Switching/Routing :: 6500 Clarification For Using Mac-address-table Synchronize Command
Jul 12, 2010We want to configure the "mac-address-table synchronize" command on our 6500 series switches to ensure that the CAM tables on our DFCs are in synch with the PFC on the supervisor modules. url...it is recommended that we disable the routed MAC purging with the mac-address-table aging-time 0 routed-mac global configuration command. What is a routed mac entry? Are there any issues with running that mac aging-time command?
We also plan to run this command "mac-address-table aging-time 14400" to keep our ARP and CAM tables on the same aging time to reduce unicast flooding on our network. Can we run this command with the "routed-mac" command above?

Mar 6, 2013I have 3 WLC's currently running version 7.0.116 and a WCS on version 7.0.220. I am looking at upgrading the versions and am uncertain as to the compatibility.
1. Upgrade the WCS to 7.0.240, and upgrade the WLC's to 7.3. Resulting in my WCS just not able to manage the "new features" in the latest WLC code?
2. Upgrade the WLC's to 7.3 resulting in WCS completely unable to manage the WLC's? I am aware there is WLC 7.4 code however I've read there is an issue with 1142 AP's rebooting.
Cisco Wireless :: 5508 / Clarification On DHCP Server For WLC?
Apr 10, 2013Recently I came across a wireless design whcih I ws not able to understand.The design is:
1. Two wireless LAN Controllers 5508, each with 25 AP license. AP load (5APs per Contorller) shared between the WLCs and congured with Backup Controller option.
2. The design has a Data Center Switch 3560x series, on which the two WLCs, Cisco Prime Infrastructure and Cisco MSE were connected. I've attached the design here.
3. The Data Center Switch is configured with DHCP pool for the wireless clients. The IP Address of the Data Center Switch is : 10.xx.xx.2 and Default Gateway is: 10.xx.xx.1
4. On the WLC, the Management Interface is configured with the IP Address: 10.xx.xx.21 for Controller 1 adnd 10.xx.xx.22 for Controller 2. But, their DHCP Server is configured with IP Address: 10.xx.xx.1 but not with 10.xx.xx.2 .
This means, all the DHCP requests are pointing towards the Gateway of the Data Center Switch.Is this the correct configuration?I have seen the Wireless Clients getting the IPs allocated from the DHCP Pool, even though the Management Interface's DHCP server configured with Gateway IP address 10.xx.xx.1 .
The DHCP configuration for the Data Center Switch is:
ip dhcp pool xxxxxx
network 10.164.220.0 255.255.254.0
default-router 10.164.220.1
The Management Interface configuration on the WLC is:
Interface Configuration
Interface Name................................... management
MAC Address...................................... 2c:54:2d:72:b5:40
IP Address....................................... 10.164.220.21

Cisco Firewall :: Asa 5580 Clarification Regarding Show Local Host?
Mar 28, 2012we are observing the no. of conn thru asa 5580 is getting increased and one a fine day it will stop sending/receiving traffics.firewall# show conn count 1900000 in use, 2000008 most used As per the datasheet of this asa, the max conns permissible is 2 million (20 lacs). and the output shows that currently 1900000 connections are there and 2million+8 connections are most used.when i run " show local-host | include host|count/limit ", below are the outputs showing for max connections..
local host: <172.x.x.x>,
TCP flow count/limit = 35857/unlimited
TCP embryonic count to host = 25
UDP flow count/limit = 0/unlimited
local host: <DC01>, TCP flow count/limit = 306/unlimited TCP embryonic count to host = 8 UDP flow count/limit = 736807/unlimited

local host: <172.y.y.y>, TCP flow count/limit = 1/unlimited TCP embryonic count to host = 0 UDP flow count/limit = 308412/unlimited
These are the top 4 connections, i wonder should we consider only the tcp flow count or udp as well ?

View 1 Replies View RelatedCisco Switching/Routing :: 6509 / 4900 - Network Down Cause Switching Supervisor With Redundancy
Jan 11, 2012we've had an issue with our network, we have 2 6509 connected with redundancy, which are connected with 2 x 4900 Switches, from which are connected to a ESX Chassis for visualization, the thing is that the ESX stopped working, and the 4900 switches, and the main core were suffering from overload, they hang on it very well, in order to stop the overload, one of the links to the ESX Chassis were disconnected from one of the 4900 switches. The CPU usage from the 4900 and the core(6509) went down below 40%, and then they started to migrate the virtual servers from the chassis to another 2 chassis that were added right after. They were actually working well, but suddenly the 6509 changed to the other supervisor after everything was OK. We were wondering what could have been the cause of this, maybe the virtual servers migrations, maybe the overload from the ESX ? We also had a few question, is there any need to reload the cores every few months as a planned task ? Because the cores have been up for more than 1 year. And also is there any kind of of tool to monitor the CPU status, or the status overall from the cores or the switches ?
View 3 Replies View RelatedCisco Switching/Routing :: 7609 For Switching / Based On LAN (VRRP / HSRP) Feature
Oct 18, 2011I am facing an isssues with 7609 for LAN switching , based on LAN (VRRP/HSRP) feature.Actually we are having ES+ cards (on 7609) and we are using multiple groups(say 350 vrrp groups) running on the router . the routers are connected as router 1>>> mux(which is working as switches)>>> router2
my questing are
1. does their will be "multicast packets" (for VRRP/HSRP group) "from backup router to Master router", when in stable state( ie when Master and backup are already chosen) , or the packet from backup to master should be unicast.I know for sure, the packet from master to back is multicast packets denstination to Multicast IP packet and To MAC address.I am not sure but I think from backup to master it should be multicast
2. what is frequency of these packets( from backup to master)
3. As i have multiper group on a single interface ( we are using q-in-q), when the connectivity from router's is broken, then does all the groups will muticast their active roll in the lan sengment "at once" or it will be in a groups say 100 groups at once, and after few ms few 100's and sone ( as is on OSPF or RIP)
we are in between troubleshooting I hope we get the ans( Actul problem we are seeing in the router's that we have 2 ports on active routers and 2 ports on standby router , but we are not seeing muticast on 1 port on standby router where as all other 3 ports are seeing multicast packets) [code]

View 3 Replies View RelatedCisco Switching/Routing :: 2921 Process Of Switching Infrastructure Of Firewalls / VPNs
Jul 4, 2012We are in the process of switching our infrastructure of our routing/firewalls/vpns over to cisco. We are switching our first location and one of the issues I'm struggling with is windows authentication pass-through for internally hosted web pages. Meaning, user inside our network has the 2921 as their default gateway, they try to access a web page that is hosted on the internal network but is secured with windows authentication. In the past, because they are logged into the domain internally, the website authenticates and loads. After switching to the Cisco, it asks for a password even though they are logged in.
Because its the web server that actually authenticates I'm not sure why the router isn't allowing that to happen, but I can't think of anything else that could be causing this behavior.

View 7 Replies View RelatedCisco Switching/Routing :: Switching Redundancy For ESXi VMHosts Scenario
May 12, 2013I have the following devices :
-1 VM Host
-2 Layer 3 switches
I would like to provide full redundancy for all vlans being used by VM Guests on the VM Host as well as the management vlan being used by the VM Host.I have created two LACP etherchannel connections on the VM Host. Each etherchannel from the host consists of 4 ports spanning a single NIC. One etherchannel connection goes to a trunked etherchannel connection on switch 1, and the other etherchannel connection goes to a trunked etherchannel connection on switch 2.Switch 1 and switch 2 have an etherchannel connection between them that carries all of the vlans in the topology.Vlan 2 is the managment vlan. Vlans 3, 4, and 5 are vlans that VM guest systems will be using for normal data traffic.
I intend to use switch 1 as the VRRP active router and spanning-tree root bridge for vlans 2 and 3.I intend to use switch 2 as the VRRP active router and spanning-tree root bridge for vlans 4 and 5.The spanning-tree configuration is using multiple spanning-tree with two instances. Instance 1 has vlans 2 and 3 associated and Instance 2 has vlans 4 and 5 associated. I would like to have this topology be fault tolerant to the point where if one of the etherchannel links between the host and one of the switches goes down, (for example, if switch 1 was powered off) traffic will be automatically redirected through the other functional link. I believe that my VRRP configuration would allow for a fairly quick failover of layer 3 services, but I am not certain that my design will be functional at a layer 2 level.
What I am uncertain about is how spanning-tree will converge. I am assuming that the virtual switch on the VM host will not be forwarding any BPDUs being sent by either switch. Would either of the links connecting to the host be considered a redundant link by either switch?Would the link between switch 2 and the host be inactive for all vlans in MST instance 1 during normal operation?Conversely, would the link between switch 1 and the host be inactive for all vlans in MST instance 2 during normal operation? Would all links remain active for ALL vlans? Would this mean that some traffic may travel through switch 2 to reach switch 1 instead of going directly to switch 1?

Mar 21, 2012I got Two Distribution Switches of Cisco 3750G. Each Distribution have two 3750G switches stacked. I also have one Cisco 3750V2 Access Switch connected to both Distribution. When I am checking for redundancy, I can only get redundancy test pass for one link not atall for other. If I have a link up with Distribution 1 only then its fine; but disappointment with Distribution 2 link. I can see that the switch priorities of Dist 2 is not correct ie. Master's priority is 10 and Member's is 15.
My question is that due to misconfigured priorities on Distribution 2 stack switches I am failing with redundancy if ONLY Dist 2 is up and Dist 1 is down.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Layer 3 Switching And ASA 5505 With OSPF?
Jun 15, 2012We are setting up a test lab in our DMZ. The path to the internet is basically like this. Anything past the firewall is irrelevant. For this lab lets assume it is vlan 300.
LAB SW ---> DMZ-SW ---> ASA FW ---> INTERNET
LAB IP Range = 172.16.300.0 /24
GW = 172.16.300.1 (On FW int)
Trunked all the way through.
I have an int vlan set up on the LAB SW. It is being trunked to DMZ SW. DMZ trunks it to ASA FW where there is a failover with a redundant switch.On the ASA the interface 0/2 is a subinterface 0/2.300 being used as the default gateway.
I have DHCP running in a specific range on the LAB SW and do get an ip address when plugged in. I cannot ping the default gateway on the ASA FW.The GW is defined using default-router command for 172.16.300.1 i.e. default-router 172.16.300.1?
We are running ospf on the firewall. There appears to be a pattern with ospf and a similar subnet setup elsewhere. I was wondering based off of this info would configuring ospf for 172.16.300.0/24 allow me to ping the GW from a client on the LAB SW.Secondly. I trunked 300 on the DMZ SW but I didnt add the vlan to the configuration. i.e. conf t <enter> vlan 300 <enter> Does this really matter? Or is having the vlan in the configuration only pertain to access mode on interfaces?
