Cisco Switching/Routing :: WS-2960S / Loosing Connection After STP Topology Change?
Nov 27, 2012
since a couple of days I've a strange behavior in my Spanning-Tree Topology.Every time I plug in a new Switch ( e.g. WS-2960S ) a topology change on my root bridge occurs and all client losing connection to the default gateway.The root bridge is also the default gateway.
Nov 28 11:14:12.865: STP: VLAN0001 Topology Change rcvd on Gi4/48
VLAN0001 is executing the ieee compatible Spanning Tree protocol
Bridge Identifier has priority 0, sysid 1, address 0019.aa37.e040
Configured hello time 2, max age 20, forward delay 15
We are the root of the spanning tree

our pair of Nexus 7000 are configured with RSTP.On the Edge-Switches we have seen an STP topology change in all connected vlans.On N7k the topology has also changed what we`ve only seen in the output of the stp details [code]
I like to configure a logging for topology changes, but i havn't found a command.
Is there an opportunity to get this logging-messages on n7k?

The school I work at upgraded to Cisco Catalyst 2960-S switches, all connected to each other via fiber. I am seeing a problem with one such connection. Cisco Network Assistant showed a "4-Warning" regarding the fiber link port: port was disabled because it was fluctuating between up and down too rapidly. Possible hardware problem, resolve and re-enable. (I'm paraphasing the message...it was 'acknowledged', and I can't bring it back up.)
This message was only showing on our "SV-Copy-Rm" switch's port 49. The other end, on "SV-Maint-Rm" port 49 showed a normal green link status.
Using Internet Explorer, I logged onto SV-Copy-Rm switch's Device Manager, and I first tried disabling/re-enabling port 49 on SV-Copy-Rm. It came back up blinking yellow and showing "port has bad link" when I cursor hovered over port 49. This continued for a few minutes, followed by port 49 being disabled again.
The current thing I'm trying is swapping the connection on both ends to a spare pair of fibers. I'm pretty certain I've swapped to the same pair on both ends, however, now neither switch shows an active link. I've disabled/enabled the ports on both ends, but still no link.
Question: How do I re-establish the above link? (The active connection has 'fallen back' to the designated ethernet Cat 5e connection and is currently running with that connection.)

Not sure if this is a problem with the switch or the wireless AP connected to the switch, but I have a couple of 3560's, one is a 3560G and the other is a 3560, both have phones and wireless ap's connected to them. The ap's on both of these switches continue to loose there ip address and thus disconnect from the controller. This happens about once a week, but the odd thing is that the phones never loose there ip address. All of my other 3560s and 3560g's that have AP's and phones connected are working fine.

We currently support a third party VOIP software. Recently we have had issues with our T38 faxing to our SIP Trunk provider because our FW (sonicwall) doesn't support Nating the connection address within the SDP packet of the T.38 reinvite. This has caused us to look at alternate solutions. I have been in discussion with CISCO sales engineers and can't get a straight answer on which one of their products support this(RFC 3362, T.38 protocol used by our VOIP server)We were looking at replacing our sonicwall with an ASA but it seems it doesn't support RFC 3362 either . However, the sales engineer thinks that their regular routers will. So If I purchase a cisco router, i.e 8xx or 2621XM the question is where do I put it in my current topograpy. Currently we our at a Datacenter and our drop into our cabinet comes right into the Sonicwall and we have all NAT handled there, routing to different LAN ports on the Sonicwall. On LAN side all we have are standard switches supporting all of our Servers.
If I buy a Cisco router to handle my NAT issue for faxing.Do I put it on the WAN or LAN side of my FW?Do I setup the router to handle all of my NATing or just the NATing of my VOIP server that is having issues with the T.38? Would I need a Sonicwall FW if I purchased a CISCO 891?

My company just assumed management of a remote entity. The network has several misconfigurations and I need to make some network modifications from my office w/o losing access or incurring lengthy outage to the clients. The network consists of 1721 router and three 2960 switches.
- I only have access to the router from the Internet. I telnet off the router to the 3 switches.
The site uses a single class C 192.168.1.0 / 24. The router is running RIPv2 even though this is the only network. The prior network person (contractor) set up separate native vlans on each switch and all the ports are defined as Native trunk and access are defined to the VLAN interface assigned to the switch. So of course the logs are flooded with Native VLAN mismatch, Each 2960 switch is a VTP server but has no VTP domain.
basic network layout:
Internet => Eth [Cisco 1721] => Fa 0 192.168.1.254 ==> [SW1]
[SW1]
interface Vlan1
no ip address
no ip route-cache!interface Vlan220ip address 192.168.1.219 255.255.255.0no ip route-cache
[code]....
!interface GigabitEthernet0/1description SW2 Gi0/1switchport access vlan 204switchport trunk native vlan 204!interface GigabitEthernet0/2switchport access vlan 204switchport trunk native vlan 204!interface Vlan1no ip addressno ip route-cache!interface Vlan204ip address 192.168.1.224 255.255.255.0no ip route-cache Normally, I would assign the current 192.168.1.254 to a subinterface to Router Fe 0/0 but with each switch having its own native VLAN I am afraid I will lose connectivity to the downstream switches -- my only access is telnet off the Cisco1721 Router.

I've been taught/under the impression that vlans and stp stay in the access layer to prevent bridging loops and broadcast storms from taking down the whole network. Well I was reading about backbonefast and how it "Enables fast convergence in the networkbackbone or core layer switches after a spanning-tree topology change occurs." Now I thought that from the distribution layer up we use a routing protocol.

I am a beginner, and my customer complaining about the internet connection performance which is very slow, the network description is given below:
Description:
The building has four floors and each floor has one mount rack which contains one 26 port switch + 16 port switch. and each floor has 32 pc as well.
- 4, Cisco SR2024 un managed switches.
- 4, Cisco SR2016 un managed switches.
- 1, Cisco access point for internet connection.
- 1, Active directory server.
- 1, Mail Server.
- Internet ADSL connection, 1 MB speed.
This is the current topology.
*Note:The links and cable type "100BASE-TX under Cat 5" among all switches.
*Note:Whenever I connect to the main router "Access point" the internet becomes very fast.

current topology is build from 4 6500 switches connected in a ring topology. Using Port channel (2x 10Gbit) links to connect left side top and bottom 6500's (DC1), 10 G bit link to connect right side 6500's (DC2) In between a 1 G bit link is used to connect top 6500's (DC1-DC2) and the same for bottom 6500's (DC1-DC2).
Path costs are 5 and 6 so the T5/4 from bottom right is blocking. Bandwidth demands are increasing, so thinking about adding extra 1 G bit links to the existing ones and create ether channels. Path costs here are 4 and 5, so T5/4 from bottom right is still blocking, but when the bottom 2 G bit port-channel is loosing one 1 G bit link the path costs of both directions become equal. So I am worried that STP will not re converge and leave me with a congested 1 G bit link. I cannot test this setup in a lab, are there any options for STP to re-converge here?

i have made a topology in packet tracer related to etherchannel configuration.i am using 2 3560 switches and 1 2950 switch. Now what i want is to bundle up the redundant links between these 3 switches. The links fa0/1-3 between 2950_1 and 3560_1 switches have been bundled up but when i try to bundle the links fa0/4-6 of 3560_1 to fa0/4-6 of 3560_2 it wont work. i am using channel-group 1 mode desirable between the 3560 switches. secondly if i want to assign ip to port channels then it has to be of same subnet between 2 3560 switches right and it must be same between 2950_1 and 3560_1. But these 2 subnets should be different from one another.

I have recently split the voice vlan (10) from the data network (1), and am wondering why my catalysts and router do not require an interface Vlan10 statement. In the past I used OpenBSD boxes to do the routing, and I first needed to configure vlan 10 on the interface before I could get inter-vlan communication to work. With these Cisco devices it works, and I am wondering if it is because of VTP, for the fact that the ports maybe just pass all traffic, or is there some other explanation? Below is the setup, and firmware is up-to-date on all of the devices.
When I plug a phone into the POE SGE, the phone turns on, obtains an address on the proper subnet, and conversations are clear (whereas without the ip nat inside on the new subnet the calls had a lot of static). Possibly the reason that it works is because the phones properly create the tcp/ip packet, and it hops over the trunks and creates the states so that traffic routes back properly. I will install wireshark to see exactly what is going on, but is there a simple explanation that I am overlooking?

I have C2960S-48FPS-L and C2960S-24TS-S both of them are using C2960S-UNVERSALK9-M image with version 15.0(2)SE on both I run "mls qos"
and on 48FPS-L I run "mls qos map cos-dscp..."on 24TS-S I cannot run it. there is no such command. there is just "mls qos rewrite..." and "mls qos srr-queue..." variants.
I thought that one image give the same set of commands...?

I read some papers about QoS. The thing is that I have to implement 30 switches with QoS to connect to a lot of Cisco IP phones. The switches are Cisco 2960S with code image "C2960S Software (C2960S-UNIVERSALK9-M), Version 12.2(55)SE3". Should I use autoQoS feature or manually configure them?. How should I treat uplinks between access switchs and core/distribution? I have a lot of doubts regarding queueing, because all the info I had read its for another model/image.

I'm looking at the WS-C2960S-48TD-L and have a question about the uplink ports. Is it possible to mix 10G on one uplink and 1G on the other? The datasheet says 2x10G SFP+, 2x1G SFP so I am thinking mixing is not possible.

just got new hardware and decided to try the newer USB port for IOS upgrades. I could not get the switch to recognize my 2gig flash drive. Do I need a proprietary stick or special format?
I also noticed when I removed it the switches crash dump and rebooted?

When using dynamic configuration tools, if I choose 2960 (not 2960s), I have the option to choose RPS2300 as redundant power, but when I choose 2960s, I cannot choose RPS2300. However, in a document describe both 2960 and 2960s, it said that RPS2300 can be used. Does RPS2300 support 2960S?

I would like to enable port security to hardcode the MAC address on the ethernet switch. There are 5 ethernet ports in the same ethernet switch to be assigned for one person (one note book), e.g. port 5, 6, 15, 16 and 23. The model of ethernet switch is cisco 2960S and one MAC address is configured on 2960S.
1. Does 2960S support this requirement to allow input the same MAC address to 5 different port?
2. If yes, can ethernet switch "smart" enough to forward the packages to "active" ethernet port which is connected to notebook and the rest of four ports are inactive.
3. if no, any solution or any work around to achieve this requirement

We are designing a LAN Network for ourselves.The proposed design is as follows:
4 x 2960S switches in a Stack Access-Stack-I 4 x 2960S-PoE switches in a second Stack Access-Stack-II
2 x 3750X switches in a Stack Core-Stack
Now I would like to connect it in the following manner ?First,I would like to use EtherChannel using the 10Gig LinksSecondly, I would like to use Cross-Stack EtherChanel too.I have given a graphical illustration of the connectivity Now my Qs: a) Will the 2960S supports EtherChannel using the 10G links and the 3750X too... b) Does the proposed solution will work... or It will have any problems.

I have two switches (2960S's) both with IP Phones on VLAN100..We need to monitor voice traffic via a monitor port on SW1 of all VLAN100 traffic on both switches.The following is what we have configured, but we cannot see VLAN100 traffic on SW1
According to Cisco doco you cannot have a SPAN and RSPAN on the same session, however since these are two sessions on SW1, I would have thought it to be OK.

I have a running setup having 2 Cisco 2960s 24 TS switch with Stack configuration. Now I want to add one more same Cisco switch. My questions are:-
1) How can I do this...(Should follow the same process as I did before.
2) Could I do this without impacting the service. i.e. without rebooting the switch.
3) What should be the connection archiecture as of now since there is two switch so it is connected 1 -1 and 2-2. but for 3 switch should we require to change the connectivity.

They have a /28 wan adress coming from ISP, that gives out 100Mbps, going to a Cisco 2960S switch (ver. 12.2) the switch is only holding 1 vlan. Connected to the 2960 are 3 firewalls/routers from other manifactors, each creating their own network. The customer wishes for a solution where each final FW/router gets minimum 33% and maximum 100% of the bandwidth, depending on how much each final Fw/router are in use.

I use the Switch 2960S support PoE and 10 access points cisco.I have one more question:
-- If all 10 access points cisco use copper cable to connect to 2960S, 5 access points use power adapter and 5 access points use power from Switch. How Switch 2960S will provide power for 10 AP or switch 2960S will understand and only provide power for 5 APs?

We have a 2960S using a single SFP-10GBase-SR to our Core switch. We are planning connecting the 2960S to a pair of Nexus 5k switches using Copper SFPs. We are already doing this on another 2960S so I didn't expect any surprises.
When I removed the unused SFP-10GBase-SR from te1/0/2, the interface was removed from the config and a gi1/0/50 was created in its place. Once I inserted the SFP-H10GB-CU3M, I expected that it would create a new te1/0/2 interface, but it didn't. I got the following errors: %GBIC_SECURITY_CRYPT-4-VN_DATA_CRC_ERROR: GBIC in port Gi1/0/50 has bad crc %PM-4-ERR_DISABLE: gbic-invalid error detected on Gi1/0/50, putting Gi1/0/50 in err-disable state
I didn't personally order the cables, but there is no Cisco label on them, so I'm assuming it is a 3rd party SFP. After looking at other posts related to unsupported SFPs, I ran the following commands: no errdisable detect cause gbic-invalid service unsupported-transceiver
After reconnecting the SFP, it didn't go into err-disable, but I still received the following error: %GBIC_SECURITY_CRYPT-4-VN_DATA_CRC_ERROR: GBIC in port Gi1/0/50 has bad crc
My other working 2960S appears to be using 3rd party SFP as well, but I can't see the brand. Is there anything else worth trying or should I just suck it up and order Cisco SFPs?
