Cisco Switching/Routing :: Force Catalyst 2960 To Ignore Startup Configuration?
Feb 4, 2013
I was wondering if I can force catalyst 2960 to skip startup config stored in NVRAM and boot with no config everytime it is powered. I tried to find it on google and in cisco white papers but still no luck. I found only commands that begin with "set boot config-register ... ", but switch acts like it does not know these commands.
I am going to creat VLANs very 1st time therefore for test purpose I have following simple scnerio.I have created 2 VLANs , VLAN2 and VLAN3 on Cisco Catalyst 2960 series switch. Ports 1-12 is assigned to VLAN2 and Ports 13-24 are assiged to VLAN3. Now I have configured DHCP on Microsoft Server 2003 defining 2 scopes with following configurations.
Scope 1 for VLAN 2--- Range is 172.16.0.17 to 172.16.0.30 with subnet mask=255.255.255.240 . Server IP address 172.16.0.17 ( Note: Address 172.16.0.17 is excluded from dhcp server Scope 1 and give to the MS server itself) Scope 2 for VLAN 3----Range is 172.16.0.33 to 172.16.0.46 with subnet mask=255.255.255.240 .
Now in Cisco 2960 series switches, under Vlan 2 and Vlan 3, I have following configurations...
interface Vlan2 ip address 172.16.0.30 255.255.255.240 ip helper-address 172.16.0.17 interface Vlan3 ip address 172.16.0.46 255.255.255.240 ip helper-address 172.16.0.17
Now the problem is when i connect a client computer to any port from 1-12, It gets correct IP address from Scope 1 but when I connect a computer to any port from 13-24, it does not get the ip address.
Further I want to do inter VLAN comunication as well for that purpose i Have an ISR 2900 series router. What further configuration i will have to do on router for inter vlan communication.
I have a Cisco 850 router that whas having problems getting an ip address via DHCP. I did some stuff on it but that didn't work, so I rebooted the router to go back to my last saved startup config. When I turned it back on and connected t othe CLI console I got the "Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialogue?" message. Thinikng I just forgot to save anything to the startup config I went through the initial set up again and made sure to save everything to the startup config. After going through the intial config and setting up a vlan to assign DHCP to clients I saved the config and rebooted, upon reboot and connecting to the CLI console I got the same "Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialogue?" message. Tryign the setup once more and making sure everything was saved to startup config I rebooted again just to make sure the changes would stick, and sure enough they didn't. Whay is the config not saving to the startup config?
I messed up the IOS on the flash of CISCO881-SEC-K9. On reboot it booted to ROMMON which allowed me to tftp up a working IOS c880data-universalk9-mz.151-4.M3.bin. Unfortunately somewhere in my playing around the default startup configuration factory loaded on the routerhas been erased. I can load a new a config on the device but as I'm using the router to learn its useful to have the original config load when I factory reset the device. What is the factory start up config?
I have reconfigured the FEX numbers attached to a Nexus 5548 running on NXOS5.2 If I do show running-config the interfaces are not there anymore. But if I do show startup-config the old Fex interfaces still shows up. I did try write erase then saved the running-config and its still there.
I have an 877W router that I would like to have a 2nd pre-configured backup for. I was thinking of getting another 870 series (probably an 877) router, as the more expensive wireless option is not actually required. Am I right to assume that I could simply copy the contents of my current config.txt file onto the second router?
I have a 24 port 2960-S that is not communicating with a 2960-LST that it is directly connected to over fiber. The link is up on the LST but will not come up on the -S. What command should I use to bring up this link? I have tried no shut from the (Config-if)# prompt.
Facing issue with 2960G switch , where its do not display "logging trap informational " in show running and show startup .where its showing all other levels from 0 to 5 and 7 after configuration and save commands. [code] after config getting saved , it do not shows in show runn or in show startup while for all other levels it do show the config lines .I tried the same on 12.55.SE release also but its same results . Is this a limitaion of this platform, is there any doc explaining the same for reference. [code]
I have Catalyst 2960 S (WS-C2960S-48FPS-L) Switch. I have plugged in SFP module but still interface is down and line protocol down. Is there any configuration to enable SFP module and make the interface up?
i try to implement layer 2 qos in 2960. when i complete to configure the switch, i want to test the qos.PC1 conect to switch port 1,PC2 conect to switch port 2 . PC1 is source teminal. i use skydata.exe and FTP for the test.
when use the skydata ,the PC2 speed can reach 10mbps.when use the FTP , the PC2 only can reach 1.2mbps. why?
I can use Putty to SSH into my new switch (Directly connected to my laptop with ethernet cable), but I cant log into my switch.
Sent username "admin" admin@192.168.251.1's password: Access denied
It doesnt like my password, but I have only set 1 password (king) on this switch. I've configured 3 other switches with SSH and had no problem. Been trouble shooting for awhile and It'd be great if I could have a 2nd set of eyes take a peek, Also, my running config is attached.
How would I go about stacking 4 Cisco Catalyst 2960-48PST-L switches? The one switch needs to accept a fiber connection from a distribution switch. Do I have to buy flexstack module and cables? If so where does the module go on the switch? If this switch cannot do this set up, any other switch I should look at.
I need to upgrade a Catalyst IOS, but I got a bit confused. The catalyst is currently running "c2960-lanbase-mz.122-35.SE5.bin", but I want to upgrade to "c2960-lanbasek9-mz.122-35.SE5.bin", in order to enable ssh. [code] What are the appropriate steps in order to upgrade to "c2960-lanbasek9-mz. 122- 35. SE5.bin". I have downloaded the tar file (c2960-lanbasek9-tar.122-35.SE5.tar)
1) Do I have to delete the old directory (drwx 192 Mar 1 1993 02:07:21 +02:00 c2960-lanbase-mz.122-35.SE5)? 2) Are these the correct steps to download and extract the IOS? 3) Where will the tar files be extracted? Will an new directory be made or do I have to make one manually?
I have packet loss with QoS configured and I was wondering is it somehow connected with the QoS configured on the switch.The traffic is passing through fa0/19 and gi0/1 interfaces.
I have 4 Catalyst 2960 connected via Etherchannel to each other. If I plug in my notebook in one port, I see the traffic from the neighbor port. So my switch acts like a hub.. I had a look at my MAC table and saw it isn't full.
I have a Catalyst 2960-S switch and a pre-standard IP Phone (Cisco 7960). When I connect the phone to the switch the switch recognizes the phone and supplies power. I would like to prevent this behaviour. ie. I would like to disable detection of pre-standard equipment. Is there a command I can issue on the 2960-S to do this? For example, on a switch from a different vendor I can issue the command: no power pre-std-detect to prevent it from detecting the 7960 phone, is there an equivalent command on the Catalyst 2960-S ?
I have two 2960's in this new environment that I am administering. I am receiving a message on one unit (Designate it 2960-2) of %IP-4-DUPADDR: Duplicate address 192.168.168.8 on Vlan1, sourced by 3037.a63e.540. The "sourced by" address is the 2960-1. I do not know how these units were originally set up. How can I determine where the duplicate address is originating from.When I perform an ARP -a the address that corresponds to the 192.168.168.8 is the mac address of the ethersvi interface on the 2960-1. I
I followed the 3-switch Redundant stacking diagram and now when I boot up the stack Switch 2 is acutally Member 3 and Switch 3 is Member 2.
We plan on having Port-Channels spanning across Switch 1 - Master and Switch 2 (Member 3) of identical port types. Switch 3 (Member 2) is going to have 2 10GIG port channel created.
Is there going to be a problem renumbering the stack as they physically sit or should I just configure the devices based on thier logical member numbers.
I have CISCO RPS 600 (PWR-AC-RPS) is it support Catalyst 2960 and 3560 ? and which type of cable require since i have cable 22-18 pin and on my switch require 22-14 pin.
At one of my sites, I have a 100mbit TLS. For this connection to work properly, the port on my end needs to be setup for 100mbit, full duplex. When I connect the TLS to an interface on my Cisco 2821, configured at 100/full, it works perfectly. Now the confusing part, I'm trying to connect the TLS to a Catalyst 2960. I configure the necessary port for 100/full, and get 'notconnect' on that interface. I set the interface to auto/auto, and it negotiates at 100/half and causes collisions and packet loss.
I have a customer with Cisco 7940 and 7960 IP phones that they do not plan to replace. They do want a new LAN and are looking at the Catalyst WS-C2960S-48FPD-L and WS-C2960S-24PD-L as access layer devices.
these switches support the Cisco pre-standard PoE required by the 7940 and 7960 IP phones.
I have a new catalyst 2960,and i want to enable DHCP SNOOPING,but,it doesn't work,the server is stilling offert addresses IP and it's not connected in a trusted port,the schema is very simple:1 switch catalyst 2960 PST-S,1 server dhcp and 1 pc client,the PC and the server are in VLAN 10,DHCP SNOOPING is enabled in all ports and no port is trusted,but the client get addresse IP after retyping ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew in dos commande.the configuration and the version of the switch are in the file attached.I tested the same configuration in a catalyst C3560-24PS and DHCP SNOOPING work normally,i tested in other catalyst 2960-PST-S,but the same probléme:DHCP SNOOPING without effect,the commands typed is:
we have currently a configuration with 3 bonded (link aggregation) channels, each delivering 1 Gb/s uplink, providing a total of 3 Gb/s uplink. Due to a recent network upgrade, we can now add more channels to the same group in order to have a total of 9 Gb/s uplink, meaning that we should bond toegether 9 channels. When we tried to change the old configuration in order to include six new channels to the bondend group we noticed 2 things: one channel was left in standby (blinking orange led),no increase in the uplink bandwidth semmed to happen,By looking around it looks like the channel group is limited to a maximum of 8 channels [*].
why the QoS deployment causes ports on 2960 switches to drop packets although there is no bandwidth contension? (output bit/second of the interface)packet drops at threshold 1, queue 2 ( queue 3 in config)
We are using Catalyst 2960 switches and are experiencing issues with QoS. After the QoS, we experience a lot of packet drops and it make the network slow. It appears that the slow performance relates to the egress queuing of each port.
