Switches B and C flow into A before continuing on into the server room switch (distance issues).All three switches are configured for ports 21-24 at 1000 and set as cisco switches. all other ports are undefined as they have a myriad of desktops, printers and non cisco access points flowing into them. side question - should i configure them as access points where applicable even if they are non cisco? I am replacing three netgear switches that currently are in place and have no known issues other than they are old and the fans may fail soon.hooked up .217. was able to get to it from the network. Hooked up 215 and then 216. All the sudden I lost the ability to tap into the switches, any of them. (I think I had done 215 at that point too, before adding 216. I found out later it took the network to its knees as internet was lost, and the MPLS stopped functioning.
I undid the changes and put the netgears back in service and all was right with the world again. At first I thought it was a bad host name as I had used whse-a on switch C in error. I changed that after this issue.Later that day I put 215 in place. checked it from the network and could get to it just fine. Then I put 216 in service. I lost connection to 215. I could no longer get to the internet from my pc and the MPLS went down again. This time I just unhooked 216. 215 is still in place and working on the network at the moment and not causing issues. (btw these switches are not even in my path from my pc to the internet, just on the same network) tomorrow I am going to try 217 again while 215 is still on the network and see if there are any issues adding that swtich. if I can do so, and there are no problems, is this an indication of a faulty switch? what further testing can I do, have I missed something in setup? If this brings the network down again, why cant i add two of these switches to each other/on the same network path (B and C were not even connected to each other yesterday evening when it went down again).
I receive a question from a future customer about this future if its supported on " WS-C2960S-24PS-L":configuring 2 dhcp server on this swith ( 1 dhcp for voice vlan , and 1 for Data Vlan).I did some search , but i didnt find the answer .i have to advice a customer before ordering the switch.
I am not on site and I have not seen a WS-C3750V2-24PS-S. Customer has a stack of 6 x WS-C3750V2-24PS-S and one unit has failed. We do not have a WS-C3750V2-24PS-S spare. Can we replace it with a standard WS-C3750-24PS-S (not V2) switch and be part ofthe stack.
1. Are there any traps gotchas? 2. What about IOS versions - aren't they different for V2 switches 3. Are the stack ports and stack cables same for both WS-C3750V2-24PS-S and WS-C3750-24PS-S 4. What is the main reason for bringing out the V2 switches. What features do they have extra?

I am having an issue with VoiP phones giving me an insufficient bandwidth message. I have three remote locations connected to our main building using 2 Mb point to point ethernet solutions through TWC. Each remote location has a Cisco WS-C3560-24PS running IOS C3560-IPBASE-M, version 12.2(25) and have the cable modems plugged into port 1 on them. The remote buildings are labeled 192.168.101.xxx, 192.168.102.xxx, and 192.168.103.xxx. There are 14-16 VoiP phones in each remote building. The main building being in the subnet of 192.168.100.xxx. I have the 3560s connecting to a single port on a 2801 in the main building, all using the subnet of 192.168.253.xxx The phone server sits in our network at 192.168.100.203. I have created the ACLs, class maps, and policy maps on all of the equipment.
For the remote buildings I have the following:
ACL =========== Extended IP access list VOIP permit tcp any host 192.168.100.203 dscp ef permit tcp any host 192.168.100.203 eq 5566
[Code]....
I have put a hub in to capture traffic via Wireshark to see if DSCP flags are being appropriately marked and I do see that all VoiP packets are getting marked with as EF. However, I have been receiving phone calls from people in the remote buildings stating that their phones will cut out, flash Insufficient Bandwidth on the LCD displays and then the call will cut back in. I am wondering if the 2801 is not applying QoS with the rate-limits in mind since it is set to 100 Mb, or is it an issue with trying to take 3 remote locations and bring them down into 1 port on the 2801?
I'm having trouble stacking a new WS-C3750X-24P with existing switches WS-C3750G-24PS ?I can see the license is on the new WS-C3750X-24P:
switch#sho lic Index 1 Feature: ipservices Period left: 8 weeks 4 days License Type: Evaluation License State: Active, Not in Use, EULA not accepted License Priority: None
[code].....
I could put on the c3750e-ipbasek9-mz.122-55.SE1 image, but I may need to get the license sorted still, but not sure if that will work or how to add it if i got one.....
Just spoke to the TAC and didn't get the information needed. When configuring ip dhcp snooping database I am adding this to my configuration:ip dhcp snooping database scp://dhcpsec@192.168.1.50/home/dhcpsec/switch1.dhcp.database.txt..I assumed that to do this I would either specify the password on the command line, similar to the way its done when using ftp/http, or that I would need to create a public/private key.I have enabled scp and can manually copy a file from the switch to the linux server. So I believe I have all the aaa commands correct. Cisco WS-C3560G-24PS System image file is "flash:/c3560-ipservicesk9-mz.122-55.SE.bin".
The default value of DRAM and Flash memory are 128 MB and 16 MB of Cisco Catalyst WS-3750-24PS-E switch .I want to know , wherther the default value may be change upto 256 DRAM and 128 Flash.
I have a WS-C3560G-24PS service as a distribution switch with six (6) WS-C2950T-24 connected to it. In looking at the utilization on the inter connect links no one is running close to a gig speed and this includes the link between this switch and the core. The CPU load (6%) and memory utilization (30%) on the switch do not seem bad so what else does one watch to see if it needs an upgrade?
We are starting tohave discussions about any needed upgrades on the network. I have an ocassional user that complaines about low performance but looking through the network I can find nothing glaring on a consistent basis that says an upgrade is warranted. I am however looking at things such as the above. Utilization on links, CPU, memory, etc.
Recently me and my girlfriend have been having issues with in game latency, receiving pings close to jittering to well over 300 where they were formerly in the 30-40s to identical servers. We live with a Chinese housemate who is extremely conscious of her privacy/personal space, we noticed a dirge of active ports on the router (both TCP and UDP) which seemed to have no association with any major application and assumed it was the old P2P boogie-monster. She is the only one who uses Wifi, an upon briefly deactivating the Wifi, all ping issues were instantly resolved. The bizarre thing is we still have plently of up/download bandwidth, I mean we're not swimming in a fibre optic connection but still a relatively healthy 1MB dl/70KB/s ul, more than enough for gaming.Deciding we needed a better idea of what was going on in the network, we downloaded Wireshark. We discovered a couple of things that might mean something, they might mean nothing at all:Firstly there was a deluge of random ARP requests coming from the suspect IP, something along the lines of:"who has 192.168.0.(random number) Tell (suspect computer's IP)"repeated over and over in bursts. A little googling found us this: Has Your Network been Now given that she is Chinese and is probably exposed to a lot of Chinese websites, is there any chance that this could be the root cause - could it drown the network to the extent that it produces terrible pings?Secondly there have been an inordinate amount of name queries coming from her IP to 192.168.0.255 (broadcast channel), they generally take the form of:
NBNS92Name query NB WPAD<00>
or
NBNS92Name query NB ISATAP<00>
and occasionally, it will name query my network id, leading to: (her ip being 192.168.0.3)
Now combine this with the sometimes 9-10 active ports our router assigns to her IP (which don't appear to relate to anything according to numerous port id sites), does this send out a red flag to any of you? I realize it would be so much easier if I could get access to her computer, but as I said, she is very private and timid and doesn't seem to like even having people in her room, let alone letting them use her computer.
I've been experimenting with the 'vlan dot1q tag native' command on a switch and it seems as though tagging the native vlan breaks vty access to my access point.With the 'vlan dot1q tag native' commnand applied, I lose management connectivity to the AP with 'no vlan dot1q tag native' applied, connectivity is restored. Why is this? Is it safe to say that one can access the AP via vty lines using ONLY untagged packets?
I just upgraded several of my C2960S-48FPD-L from 12.2(55)SE to 12.2(58)SE and now almost every time I try to SSH to it the switch reboots and gives me these trace backs ...

I am looking for a reasonable switch but it has do do inter-VLAN Routing. I know I could go with a 3560/3750 with IP Services but I am also thinking the 2960S with IP Base IOS might do?
I have looked up the IP Base IOS and it does list IP Routing but how to actually configure inter-VLAN Routing on a 2960S with IP Base?
We have several of these WS-C2960S-24PS-L running 12.2(55)SE5 C2960S-universalK9-M and need to upgrade to a better.IOS since we have a sitution where CPU would get to 100% but we have only a few ports connected.Also we have several of WS-C3750-48P running 12.2(55) SE6 C3750-IPBASEK9-M.
We have a 2960 stack of 4 WS-C2960S-24PS-L switches.Sometimes, at random, the stack crashes and reboots. I have downloaded the crashinfo file and can see the following error.
I'm trying to configure a stack between two WS-C2960S-48FPS-L but does not working.The switch port is always Down.I tried to change de module and cables.I tried to make a loop in one of two switches and the ports always down.
IOS: 12.2(55)SE5 #show switch stack-ports Switch # Port 1 Port 2 -------- ------ ------ 1 Down Down
We have two switches WS-C2960S-24TS-L running in stack with running IOS c2960s-universalk9-mz.122-55.SE3.We have connected two checkpoint devices on Gi1/0/24 and Gi2/0/24 with a simple configuration:
interface range GigabitEthernet1/0/24, gi2/0/24 switchport access vlan x switchport mode access spanning-tree portfast
On the devices log we get the following message:
%SW_MATM-4-MACFLAP_NOTIF: Host 0000.0000.fe21 in vlan x is flapping between port Gi2/0/24 and port Gi1/0/24
The mac-address 0000.0000.fe21 is not found on any checkpoint interface. "Show mac-address int gi1/0/24 or gi2/0/24" does not show the correct mac-address of the checkpoint interface connected to the port, but instead shows 0000.0000.fe21.Is there a bug in the IOS, something wrong with the switch config or does it have something to do with the checkpoint config?
I have a customer with a stack of two switches C2960S-24TS-L that are running 12.2(58)SE2 universal K9, we see that the CPU load increase over time, to 95% and stays there reload solves the problem.the process that akes a lot of CPU is also the SNMP ENGINE, I see that it is running 30 minutes on 95% and then 10 minutes on 35%, this is the only stack were we see this problem. Is there also a SNMP bug in this version ?
Does GLC-GE-100FX is supported on the WS-C2960S-24TD-L. I don't see this switch listed under the compatibility matrix.URL
But the datasheet for the 2960S says this:
"The Cisco Catalyst 2960-S with SFP+ does not support the GLC-FE-100BX, GLC-FE-100FX, or GLC-FE-100LX." But it provides no reference for the GLC-GE-100FX The easy answer is, no the 2960S-24TD doesn't support it, any clarification if possible.
I have a very simple setup containing 3 C2960S switches:switch 1: central switch, acting as router between VLAN 1 en VLAN 2switch 2+3: edge switches, connected via 1 link to central switch, both on VLAN 2,Clients connect to switch 2 and 3 using dhcp, switch 1 uses dhcp relay to forward requests from VLAN 2 to the dhcp server on VLAN 1. So far so good.Now I want switch 1 to add option 82 to the dhcp requests so the dhcp server can see whether the request came through switch 2 or switch 3. I tried turning on dhcp option 82 support on switch 1 by doing.
How many Switches can be stacked with WS-C2960S-48FPD-L at a max..
As per my Knowledge it is 4 and as below..
Switch 1 to Switch 2 Switch 2 to Switch 3 Switch 3 to Switch 4 Switch 4 to Switch 1
If yes then, is it mandatory to do the "Switch 4 to Switch 1" stack. why am I asking this is because this stack requires a long cable and the cable which comes with the Switch is only 0.5M.
I have configured about 20 of these switches now, and notice in the port listings a TE1/1//1 TE1/1/2 and GI1/1/1 GI1/1/2 uplink port. There are only two uplink SFP+ ports. I now have a reason to install with a 1Gb uplink to the Core. I am using a GLC-LH module at each end. I did configure the TE1/1/1 port for the uplink. Does not work though..Do I need to configure the two GI1/1/1 and 1/1/2 ports for uplink, remove the TE configuration for the uplink to work? Using the UNIVERSAL code with a LANBase license.
