Cisco Switching/Routing :: Why 2950 Model Not Running EI Version Of IOS
Jun 3, 2012
I have several older 2950's running on my network. This one in particular became of interest to me because I couldn't set up SSH on it or enable any QoS features on it, so I did some research. What I found was there are basically 2 versions of the IOS, c2950-i6q4l2 or c2950-i6k2l2q4. I also read that the c2950-i6q4l2 IOS versions (like the one in the switch I am referring to) have both the SI and EI feature sets integrated, but the one that gets enabled is entirely dependent upon the switch model you are running it on. Did I understand this correctly? Does the IOS check the hardware on the switch and then decide with feature set to use? If so, what is prohibiting the EI feature set from being enabled on this switch? Is there a way to force the EI feature set to be enabled since it is integrated in this image?

I am looking into the possibility of using private vlan's for some dmz implementations however I do have what may be some very rudimentary questions. It seems straightforward how to configure the primary/secondary vlan configuration as well as associating them. However in my case I would be looking to configure the PVLAN on a 6500-vss platform acting as the router while all of the hosts which I would desire to have in the isolated vlan would be spread out across a number of older Cisco switches which only support "protected port" setup or Procurve switches all of which I do not have budget to replace with something newer. So in my scenario I would have a 6500 connected by trunk to multiple switches which only support a protected port setup such as a Procurve (top of rack) or a Cisco 2950. As the Procurve or 2950 would not support Private VLAN setup, do I then just configure the secondary vlan to be allowed across the trunk from the 6500, configure that vlan on the Procurve or 2950 (as vtp will not foward the info for the secondary vlan) and assign that vlan to the host port as well as setting it as a protected port and this will communicate just fine across the trunk to the router as well as stopping the protected port in top of rack switch 1 from being able to communicate to a protected port in top of rack 2,3,etc? If the above scenario is what needs to be done, do I just use a regular trunk or do I have to use a PVLAN trunk?

I need to confirm that the 4510R+E switch with the SUB7-E/2 running version 15 IOS will not support NAT. I am 99% convinced that it does not but i am looking for confirmation, as i am a bit surprised by the lack of NAT support on this platform.

I am configuring some quotes for a customer whom I will be building a wireless network for. The wireless network will support about 60 AP's, as well as some other wired drops. The customer is working with a wireless vendor for the AP's, but I will be able to sell the switches for the network.
I want to ensure that he is pushing Gig and POE on each copper port for the AP's, since they will be "N" capable. I have selected several 3560 models which are in 24 port models, and I also think i have a requirement which mandates a 48 port in another location. What I have not been able to find in the Enterprise switch line is an 8 port which supports IOS and POE.
That being said, and since I am also "Select" certified, I went out to the SMB site, and did find that there were two models in the Small Business 300 line (models SG300-10P and SG300-10MP) which seem to support Gig ports as well as POE. I looked over the specs for each one of the two respective models, and I was not able to find what the difference between each of these two are. In other words, the specs, line by line, were identical.

Currently we have cisco 4503 switch in one of our location without redundancy which servers below,
300 user (desktop & ip phones)
5 vlans
15 access switches are connected
one L3 connectivity.
Actually i want to understand is it really necessary to have 4503 or we can go for 4900 series as we are planning to have redundancy in distribution segment.
Which is the best L3 switch in the above scenario and how to measure the overall performance of the current 4503 switch...

I am testing BPDU filter with 3560 model switch so I've looped 2 interfaces in that switch by configuring STP BPDU filter on interface levels and also connected one desktop in other interface on same vlan of looped interfaces with bpdufilter config. I am facing is both the looped interfaces are having heavy traffic due to this my switch CPU utilization also reached high. How to sort out this issue like why my switch interfaces traffic & CPU utilization went high even when I am using BPDU filter at interface level? As well as correct my BPDU configuration If I configured wrong. I thought it is a good practice and enabled this conf in some of my working environment but due to some loop my entire network went down?

I'm not sure how to tell if I'm running ssh version 1 or ssh version 2, or both.I thought a show run would show a line like, "ip ssh version 2" or "no ip ssh version 1", but I don't see these anywhere.

Is there a way to get more messages out of a 2950 set to syslog? I've turned every logging option I can find to DEBUG, but all I get in my syslog are LinkUp/Down messages and "Configured from console by console". I'd love to see more information such as configuration changes, or even someone attempting to set up DTP on a switchport set to access mode.

One is connected to cisco 2960 and the other is connected to cisco 2950. I have read here in forums about nic teaming but using the same switch. I have not found using different switch. Is this possible?

I have a problem with an etherchannel between a cisco 2950 and a couple of catalyst 4506. The cisco 2950 is connect via an etherchannel to the catalyst 4506A. The channel consist of two port on both side and is in trunk mode, encapsulation dot1q.Now i have the necessity to connect the 2950 to the other catalyst, 4506B. So, i copy the same configuration on the 4506B, but when I unplug the two rj45 cables from the catalyst 4506A to plug them in the 4506B the etherchannel doesn't go up in any way.

I am trying to test the gigabit ports on a Cisco 2950 switch. 1000Base-SX. I have the internet or dhcp server connected to port 24 on the first switch and my pc hooked up to the (any) port on the second switch. Both switchs are connected with a fiberoptic cable with MTRJ connectors on either side.
Now when I use gi0/2 on both switchs all works fine. I get a dhcp address from the router on the other end of the first switch. but when ever I include gi0/1 on either end of the fiber optic cable neither of the ports will initialize (neither of the leds above the ports light up). I have deleted all the config files before booting up the switchs so they should have a default blank configuration.
When looking at the Http web page for the switch I dont see any issues with the port. what can I do to make sure these ports are working or can be configured?
I will not be able to post back any more information about the switch until next tuesday. Im off till then.

Stumped again with my Catalyst 2950. Everything is working perfectly with wan/dhcp/router on fa 0/1 with all ports assigned to vlan1. All devices plugged in connect to the router correctly with ip's being assigned via dhcp.Instead of hooking up by console port I want to be able to SSH or telnet in to the switch using any port while still maintaining the above functionallity. Is it possible to assign a dhcp assigned ip address to vlan 2 and have vlan1 and 2 bridged? Or is there a better way of doing this ?

spam up the boards with the same basic CCNA level stuff, but I have a couple of questions about ios differences, limitations, and references. I have the following three switches. One appears to be considerably dated in regard to software version. My confusion/ignorance stems from managing VTP settings.
2924XL 12.0 5 WC8
2950 12.1 22 EA6
2950 12.1 22 EA6
When I set either 2950 switch as the VTP server, and the other as a client, the client inherits the server settings as expected. However the 2924 requires that I go into the vlan database from priv exec and manually set vtp client. That's pretty similar to setting any switch to client mode. The problem I am observing is that after setting the 2924 to client, it still doesn't inherit vtp version settings or pruning settings. I still have to manually configure those. Additionally, if I copy run start the 2924 after making these manual settings, and then reload the switch, all the settings are lost and it defaults back to server mode with all features disabled. From my searches, it looks like vlan information is stored in vlan.dat, but all the documentation I've found is on 12.1 ios which doesn't appear to use vlan database for vtp setup, meaning it might still be an issue, but not one I'm focused on at the moment.
Is the vlan database dumped at reload? I've read vlan.dat is stored in nvram and should be saved after a copy run start, but that is not the case for me.I have since set the 2924 as the server, manually configured the server from vlan database, executed copy run start, and reloaded the switch. Oddly, my manual settings saved from the reload, meaning I only lose settings when the switch is in client mode.Am I missing additional necessary client commands to save the config, or is this just a limitation of either the 2924XL or the 12.0 ios?On a related but completed out of scope topic, without a cisco service contract, how am I supposed to make heads or tails of all the different versions of ios, along with the letter-based features and what-not? I can't even find my 2924 in the list of platforms when searching for ios upgrades.

I have a above said switch at my remote office (600KM) which is connected with L2 Point to Point leased line. Both the ends I have Cisco 3950 catalyst switches with Vlans configured at both the ends. Now, for obvious reasons I should remove the other end 3950 switch and replace with Cisco 2950 switch. The other end 3950 is having 4 Vlans configured on 4 ports. Now my requirement is, I should configure 3 Vlans (one for P2P, one for 10 Desktops and one for to bring traffic from other network).

I cannot seem to correct a duplex mismatch issue.I have a Cisco 2950 switch connected to a Cisco 2621 router. I am running a per-interface Vlan. I have two fastethernet ports and one NM-1E card installed on the router. One fastethernet port is connected to my gateway router, the second fastethernet port is connected to my switch for one Vlan. The NM-1E Ethernet card is being used for the second Vlan which consists of nine IP cameras. Though the cameras on the Vlan are working fine.Now, the NM-1E card is set to half-duplex. I know that I should be using a fastethernet module like a 1FE 2W or a 2FE 2W card, (which I have,) but the router does not recogonize either one of these cards when they are installed, and yes, they have been confirmed as good cards.
Using Router-on-a-Stick configuration is out due to the bandwidth contention besides the fact that the router I am using it on will not handle this due to the flash being an older version.I have forced the switchport to half duplex, setting the speed to 10. I was getting fewer error messages at first, but they soon increased back to the frequency that they began with.I have set the switchport to duplex auto, but this failed to resolve the issue.Obviously, I cannot force the switchport into duplex full since the NM-1E interface is set to half duplex. Can the NM-1E card be configured to full duplex? I can't seem to find any documentation showing where it can be forced to full duplex mode.Could nine IP cameras just be too much for both the router and switch to handle?

I have a 4503 switch (in L2 mode) running 12.1 hooked into a C2950 running 12.1, using regular 4 pair Cat5e cables to connect between them. The 4503 has Gigabit port 2/1 trunking to the 2950's Fa port 0/13.
When I set the duplex mode to DUPLEX FULL and SPEED to SPEED 100 on both switches (for their trunk ports) the link fails, and my 4503 loses connectivity (since it gets it from the 2950).
Here is my config from the switches (per description):
The 4503:
interface GigabitEthernet2/1
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,2,100-140
[Code].....
Note, this is the only mode that works (which seems to work fine, but I get TERRIBLE throughput for anything that goes over the 2950.
