The switch 6500-E is frequently crashing whenever the pm scp process reach 100% .I got it under the command "remote command switch show proce cpu".How to solve the problem. I opened the TAC and the engineer says to upgrade the image12.2(18) sxf.Is there any other work around that would avoid to reimage the switch and reloading.
document which explians normal booting sequence in a 6500 Switch running IOS. What I am looking for is in which order the image is loaded in SUP, RP, SP etc
Our 6500 was reboot by self with crash info and i found it was happened by CPU HOG. The log is below for CPU HOG and you can see many times from attached crash info file.
%SYS-SP-3-CPUHOG: Task is running for (16000)m secs, more than (2000)m secs (15/12),process = RPC pagp_switch_mp2sp. [code]....
I think this process made high CPU & memory issue and then there were internal communication fail.. isn't it? So i need to know what PRC pagp_switch_mp2sp is to prevent next issue.
We are looking to upgrade the version of IOS on the 6500s this evening and in preparation i've dowloaded the image to sup-bootdisk. However when trying to update the boot path as follows I see the following error: [code] Why are we seeing this message when the router is not doing anything with ISSU?
We are cutting over from 6500 IOS to Nexus 7000 and have hit "Maximum ospf feature instance limit reached." as we configured up the 7 existing ospf processes - the limit is 4. These existing processes are for various vrf contexts we have. I see you can run multiple vrf contexts under one process - but how does that work in a mixed environment where the ospf neighbours are still ios 6500s? They still expect to see different ospf process id per vrf.
we are using Cisco 6509-E VSS mode [12.2(33)SXI] ipbase image and facing high cpu utilization. In show process cpu output it is showing some "ios-base" process consuming cpu. I attached show cpu output
we have configured SSh on our primary and secondry core switch , SSH is working on primary Switch but we are unabme to access secondry Core switch through SSH .
Error are as under :

We will be converting two 6500s to VSS. Each chassis has a Sup2T module, fwsm, 6908-10G blade, wism1 blades and two or three 6748-SFP blades. I was wondering how long the conversion process takes? If I remember correctly at the 2012 networkers lab it took maybe 10 minutes while using Sup720s. The instructor mentioned that with Sup2Ts it would convert a lot faster.
I am in the process of swapping out an older 24 port Cisco catalyst 3525 POE switch running IOS 12.0(5) with a 48 port POE catalyst 3560 running ios 12.2(50)The trunk port on the older switch (that currently works) is in port Gig0/1 with as basic of a trunk config as you might find.
In the newer switch I have a 1000BaseSX SFP min gbic with a SC-LC fiber cable attached (8.3/125 – 15 meter.When I make the connections, I get no lights… no connection.
I got problem with wake on LAN software.. The software unable to ON all pc's remotely if sitting under different vlan. Everything is ok if using the same vlan. Below are the network diagram & switch configuration.
Layer 3 switch Intervlan routing configuration
ip forward-protocol udp 7 ! interface Vlan4 description vlan Client-WOL ip address 172.22.51.253 255.255.254.0 ip access-group Deny_HTTP_Vlan1 in ip helper-address 172.20.1.246
[code].....
After configured all the switches with the above setting, the software still cannot wake all the pc's using LAN. Base on sniffing, i can't find UDP port usage by the software. Attached here with print screen from wireshark.
1. We now have SupA & SupB in the chassis, due to some mistake we have same IOS version but different feature set on them, although we configured redundancy mode sso, in the "show redundancy" we see Operating Redundancy Mode = rpr due to Software mismat, we now need to fix them as same feature set image, if I use "copy sup-bootdisk0:/xxxx slavesup-bootdisk0:/xxx", then write memory, does this cause any service/network interuption?
Available system uptime = 1 year, 1 week, 4 days, 9 hours, 21 minutes Switchovers system experienced = 2 Standby failures = 0 Last switchover reason = active unit removed
[code]....
2. We did a failover test with this status, found that if we triggered supervisor failover, all modules will reload thus the services if interupped. How about after we make the Operating Redundancy Mode as sso, will this behaviour shows again? Or a stateful failover will happens, then modules no need reload?
3. We are using OSPF as our L3 routing protocol, after reference to the configuration, nsf should be enabled, we want to ask in the OSPF-domain nsf should be configured in all OSPF-enabled router or only 6500 which have dual-sup?
4. We also found that the interfaces(3 * Gig & 2 * TenG) in Standby supervisor cannot be use even enabled & configured, is it because we are running rpr mode now or will be the same even change to sso? Before customer have some older supervisor in 6500 non-e chassis, and they can use the standby supervisor interfaces as traffic forwarding, they use rpr-plus mode before, how about in sso mode?
"How to display the EOBC error counters in the Catalyst 6500 series switches and a definition of the EOBC interface" document here on support forum stays that The Ethernet Out of Band Channel (EOBC) is a half duplex channel that services many functions, which include the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and the packets that are destined for the switch.
Previously i were thinking that EoBC used only for SCP and SLP protocol. In addition i found other article (but not on cisco site, heh) where stays that The Results bus is a control plane, while the C (EoBC) bus is more of an "admin plane", thus you will never see data packets (such as CDP, SNMP, etc.) going over the R or C bus.
So there is a big contradiction between those two statements. How to prove one of those and if first one right, what meaned under the packets that are destined for the switch in it? SCP and SLP or other traffic as well?
I am migrating services from SUP720-3B to VS-SUP2T-10G= and moving to a VSS configuration between a pair of Cat6506 distribution layer switches. I need to enable QoS on these switches, primarily to trust dscp and also to prioritise voice traffic. The autoqos feature works for some ports but does not work on port-channel interfaces and port-channel member interfaces. How can I apply the qos settings for these interfaces in line with what auto qos would normally provide. My line cards are as follows:
Civic_6506VSS#sho mod Mod Ports Card Type Model Serial No. --- ----- -------------------------------------- ------------------ ----------- 1 4 CEF720 4 port 10-Gigabit Ethernet WS-X6704-10GE
The diagram below is the configuration we are looking to deploy, that way because we do not have VSS on the 6500 switches so we can not create only one Etherchannel to the 6500s.Our blades inserted on the UCS chassis have INTEL dual port cards, so they do not support full failover.
Questions I have are.
- Is this my best deployment choice? - vPC highly depend on the management interface on the Nexus 5000 for the keep alive peer monitoring, so what is going to happen if the vPC brakes due to: - one of the 6500 goes down - STP? - What is going to happend with the Etherchannels on the remaining 6500? - the Management interface goes down for any other reason - which one is going to be the primary NEXUS?
Below is the list of devices involved and the configuration for the Nexus 5000 and 65000.

I have two core switches - 4506E, and i noticed there are frequent cpu spikes on both of the cores switches. As its spikes intermitendly i couldnt able to anlyze the issue. I need inputs on the following,
1) Is there any Free CPU process monitoring tools to identify which process is spiking ?
2) Troubleshooting techniques to identify the issue.
Is it possible to issue eigrp leaking routes on catalyst 6500 running IOS 12.2-33SXI9 on gigabitethernet interfaces? or is there another way to acomplish this?
and i see output "show interface Po4A" up up on switch-1, "show interface Po4B" up up on switch-2
5.- In the show running-config not appear configured Po4A and Po4B. it only show on outputs
6.- Po4A and Po4 was not configured on neither switches, my question is why appear Po4A and Po4B on switch-1 and switch-2 respectively? and why Po4 appear in down down.
7.- I solved this issue by shutdown and not shutdown to the interfaces on both routers, currently all is OK.
I understand that my questions seems to be rather strange cos supervisors is rather old (Sup1A especially). But i am interested in understanding what puprpose were in production SUP32. I cant find out enough differencies between Sup1A with MSFC2 and Sup32 to understand what reasons lead to deploying new sup in none fabric supervisor series.
Both supervisors have same perfomance - 15Mpps and have limitation on backplane bandwith of 32 Gbps (cos both use swithing bus), both supervisors equipped with MSFC2 and etc. Differencies i found:
SUP 32 have 10Gbe ports support (but this seems to be doubtful enhancement - with it perfomance GE ports seems to be more appropriate technology isnt it?) SUP1A equipped with PFC, SUP32 with PFC3BSUP32 deploys CEF (what is benefit of CEF if perfomance same?)
On a Catalyst 6500, we configured a SPAN session with VLAN 300 as a source. We configured the session bi-directional ("both" keyword). We connect a sniffer on the SPAN destination port.
Strangely enough, we only see the traffic from the VRF to the firewall, but not the reverse traffic ! What can be the problem ?
Are there any best practices for preventative maintenance on Catalyst Chassis switches. Looking to build a PMI schedule for a customer. Or is there evidence not to perform it at all. Things like re-seating line cards, cleaning fan exhausts, etc.
I'm trying to get ERSPAN working with an ERSPAN source on a Nexus 5548 and the ERSPAN destination on a Catalyst 6500.
The configuration on the Nexus is as follows:
[...] interface loopback0 ip address 192.168.2.133/32
[Code].....
If I do a netdr capture I can see ERSPAN traffic sourced from the Nexus reaching the C6500, but there doesn't appear to be anything sent out the ERSPAN destination inerface (Gi4/6) and there's nothing being received by the probe connected to that interface. I know the traffic seen with netdr is definitely the ERSPAN traffic sourced from the Nexus as I've changed the TTL and DSCP values within the monitor session on the Nexus and can see those changes reflected on the C6500 netdr capture. The attached is a screen grab of the show netdr capture started with debug netdr capture soure-ip-address 192.168.2.133.
When I look at the interface I see it shown as up/down (monitoring), but no output or counters clocking up. If I run a local SPAN session on the C6500 it works fine.
I've tried changing the destination IP address from that assigned to the C6500 Loopback interface to an IP address assigned to a physical interface, but that still doens't work.
The hardware in the C6500 is WS-SUP720-BASE Hw version 3.2 with WS-F6K-PFC3B Hw version 2.4. The IOS version is 12.2(33)SXI6.
I came across this Multichassis EtherChannel Features when read about information from Cisco Smart Business Architecture.After checking further, knowing that Cataly stwitch 6500 supports this feature.provide information that beside Catalyst 6500, is there any other model of Catalyst switch can support this feature?
I have a rare case. switch 6500 make crash and go to rommon. when review the crash appear that the switch charge the configuration from nvram, but, at the ending there are a few line command, that make the switch go to crash.. then I have to booting from rommon and start again. I use the version 12.2.33.sxi9 and 12.2.sxi3 and the configregister is 0x2102
I think that the switch get the startup-config file from other file-system. *Sep 1 03:42:42.352 Inviern: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from memory by console access-list 199 permit icmp host 10.10.10.10 host 20.20.20.20 crypto map NiStTeSt1 10 ipsec-manual match address 199 set peer 20.20.20.20 exit no access-list 199 no crypto map NiStTeSt1
