View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.
I have 4 switchs 2960s in stack, but this not full ring. [code]the interface stack 1 for switch 1 is down and interface stack 2 for switch 4 is down.I do insert this command "switch 1 stack port 1 enabled" but interface are not up.

It should be pretty simple but I've seen two different types of LC/SC cables - one is 8.3/125 and one is 62.5/125. I believe the 62.5 is an older cable type but when looking at the detail sheets for each of the SFPs I see that both of these support a 62.5 or 50 micron core size.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI was just curious about something with upgrading a 2960s stack.
To copy the image to the switches in the stack I use: Switch# archive download-sw tftp://x.x.x.x/filename
Does this also set the image as the boot image or do I still need to issue the boot system flash command?
can I just issue this command on the master switch and reload and the new config will be pushed to the rest of the switches?
I need to add two additional 2960S switches to my stack. I saw a diagram that showed how a 4 switch stack can be connected, but I couldn't find much detail on adding a switch to an existing stack (besides master election). The output below shows how the existing stack is connected and its state

I will need to break one of the stack rings between SW1 and SW2 in order to connect the new switches. Does it really matter which ring I break to connect the additional switches? Does one ring act as primary? If so, I'd rather not break that ring so this process is transparent as possible. Also, is there any benefit to disabling the stack port vs just disconnecting the cable?
I have an 2960S all configured, with vlans, ports configurations and others.Now, I bought other 2960S and two stack modules to create a stack with these 2 switches.We call:
-Switch1 (I have configured and in production)
-Switch2 (New switch, no configured)
Can I connect these two switches in stack without lost the configuration of my Switch1 and no turn-off this switch? Does not stop the users access?
I have a single 2960s without stack module. The stack port has a status of down, however I'd like to disable it so that it does not generate a false alarm in my NMS. The documentation states that there should be a command "switch 1 stack port 1 disable" but the switch (running 15.0(2)SE2) doesn't seem to be available. Is this a dcumentation bug or is the command not there at all?

applied an iOS update to a stack via tftp. I used the archive Download-sw tftp:// method. I rebooted the stack after complete and it never came back up. I discovered the master switch upgraded but not the member. The member was sitting there with all amber lights on and frozen after the iOS load. The master wouldn't finish boot until I removed the member from the stack. I had a version mismatch and they would not communicate.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like to use flexstack to stack two Cisco 2960S 48 Port switches (2960S-48TD-L) for redundancy. Each switch will have a single 10G uplink into our Nexus 7K. One switch in the stack will terminate to linecard 6 (N7K-F248XP-25) and the other switch will terminate to linecard 7 (N7K-F248XP-25). My question is how many flexstack cables are needed? Do I need only one cable or do I need two to connect the two 2960s ?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have 2 Catalyst 2960S-switches configured in a stack. The uplink is configured as a cross-stack etherchannel. Now I want to upgrade the stack with a minimum of downtime for the connected hosts. The hosts are connected to the stack via cross-stack etherchannels. So my question is: How can I upgrade the stack and reboot the members with a minimum of downtime? If I use the archive download-sw command with the /reload-option, the stack is reloaded and the result will be downtime for the hosts while th stack is reloading. Is it possible to upgrade the stack and then reboot the members one by one in a controlled manner?

If The new switch has no configuration on it and the existing stack is broken by pulling te stack cables and then new cables are added and everything re-cabled correctly will the new switch assume the configuration from the stack without any issues?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have a stack of 2960S (c2960s-universalk9-mz.122-55.SE2.bin) and the master has failed (used to have a priority of 14). The second switch has become master (priority 1) as can be seen below: [code]
If I connect a new blank 2960S (same IOS) through the stack ports, will the master sync its config to the new one without causing problems?As I understand the new blank switch will also have a priority of 1 and will by default be numbered as 1. So if the config is correctly synced and I later on want to make switch 1 the master, I need to set the priority: [code]
I have a live 28port Catalyst 2960S switch. By live I mean that there is an essential piece of equipment plugged into this switch that can suffer little to no downtime. Over the course of time the number of devices patched into this location has increased to exceed the 24 ports available and we have had to resort to adding unmanaged switches to fill the need. We have acquired an additional 2960 & stacking modules that I would like to stack together, keeping the existing switch as the master. It is my understanding that the stacking modules are hot-swappable and that this member switch can be added without bringing the master switch down, thus creating zero down time for the financial server that is connected.
The steps I believe that need to be followed are as such: write mem to existing switch and backup to our TFTP serverinstall the stack module in the existing (while powered up) and new (while powered down)place the 2 redundant FlexStack link cables on both switchesthen simply power the member switch on After boot the member switch will get it's OS and configuration from the master and I can begin moving CAT5 cables from the unmanaged switches to the stack.
Is there a stacking cable that is "bent"?Im using this cable:"CAB-STACK-50CM", "Cisco StackWise 50CM Stacking Cable".But it takes up to much room in the back of the switch, is there such a thing as "bent" stacking cable.

Each switch has its own 715W power supply in it and all check out OK.
A site that i am responsible for has the following equipment installed:
2 x 3750G Switches configured as a stack using Stackwise - Collapsed Core/Distribution Layer
5 x 2960G Switches as Access Layer switches
WAN connections into the Core/Distribution Layer are all Gigabit Ethernet over Fibre.This is a dedicated CCTV Network with 50 Cameras all streaming video into the Core (decoders connected to access switches)Each 2960G has 2 links to the Core/Distribution 3750G Switches, 1 to each switch - Gigabit.I'm running rapid-pvst on all switches, so spanning tree is blocking one of the ports and effectively halving the 2 gig bandwidth. Next year our customer is going to add in a further 50 - 60 cameras.After monitoring the current loading on the ports in use, we have suggested to the customer that the 2 connections to each should be Ether-channeled together. [code]
First interface takes commands no problem, keep getting the message that etherchannel cannot be configured across different switches in a stack when i try to put the second interface commands on.
I am just going to deploy some new 4900Ms for a customer. Want to know if configuring management for 4900 (everything like NTP, AAA, SNMP , DNS ) is doable through management interface in management VRF and there are no caveats to be aware of.

Is it possible to use 1GB (SFP / Copper) on the built-in 8 x X2-10GB ports without any Network Module of 1/10GB. If so how.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a client whom has a 4900M switch as their SAN switch. They are getting ready to upgrade their SAN to use 10G.I had quoted them a price for an X2 module, but I am unclear based on pictures I have seen of the part number
X2-10GB-SR
whether or not the X2 module plugs into the X2 slot on the switch, AND then also has to have a transceiver put in it to receive the SC ends of the Fiber jumper, or whether the SC ends of the fiber jumper plug into the X2 module directly.
I have this 4900M running version 12.2(54)SG1. I the log I get this 3 lines:

They seems to be coming on regular basis, repeating every minute. I've tried Google and the most relevant info I can find is this {URL}. But it says "Upgrade software to IOS version 12.2(52)SG or later OR 12.2(50)SG4 or later. ". I'm already running 12.2(54), so why does this 3 line repeatedly show up in the log every minute.
First time user of cisco hardware and we just purchased the 4900m catalyst switch. My question is very general. I am simply hoping to network 3 servers together and I do not wish to do any fancy or advanced configuration. Can I simply use the web management interface for network administration and setup? I just downloaded the Catalyst 4500 Series Switch Cisco IOS software configuration guide and they talk about Cisco View network management system, is this my answer or is this what most people use for basic configuration and administration?

[url]... I cannot find and obviously not figure out how to use the SPAN command. My main objective is to simply setup a port mirror on one of my TenGigabitEthnet interfaces and from what I read SPAN is the best way to setup a tap interface on a cisco switch.

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy current version IOS is cat4500e-ipbase-mz.122-53.SG5.bin. I just got a new version cat4500e-entservicesk9-mz.122-53.SG5.bin.I put the new version in bootflash: directory and tried various methods of starting the IOS up to run the new version but it always started in the original ipbase version. My start-config shows:
boot-start-marker
boot system flash bootflash:cat4500e-entservices9l-mz.122-53.SG5.bin
boot-end-marker
and I even deleted the ipbase version in the bootflash: directoy so then my switch would not even boot up at all and hung in rommon. In rommon I tried
boot bootflash:cat4500e-entservicesk9-mz.122-53.SG5.bin
and the result I got back was
File has bad file magic number: 0x0
So I had to point the switch to my tftp server and boot back into a back up copy of ipbase. how I can get my new IOS version to work? I understand I might have to download it again but I just got it so I am skeptical it is a bad file.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI' ve three 4900M switches equipped with the WS-X4920-GB-RJ45 module and the WS-X4908-10GE module. Now I'm started to setup these switches in our lab environment for the first time. They behave a little bit strange in comparison with the C3750 series which I used before and which I will replace by these powerful machines.
I tried to setup these switches to be managed through the management port. I configured IP address, default route in the management vrf, set the source-interface for tftp,ssh,ftp and tacacs to use the management port. Ping using the manangement port was successful. After finishing theses steps I configured the TACACS and AAA settings accordingly the informations I found on CCO. I tested the settings with "test aaa group authentication" command- without success. On my Cisco ACS no request was received and the switch told me he could't reach the tacacs server. Other switches in the same IP subnet are working without failure, so firewall or server should not be the problem.
