View 1 RepliesI'm looking to sit the ICND2 exam soon and have discovered that the pair of old 2924XL switches are not going to cut the mustard for the newer vlan commands and other features.
Would a pair of WS-C3550-24-SMI switches be a sensible replacement for ICND2 and possibly up to CCNP? They are available on ebay for about £80 each.
I notice that my Cisco switches have 2 fiber GBIC ports on them each and while i have been around networking for quite some time i have never dug that much into fiber. So after some quick googlefu i learned that there is lots of different types and compatibility problems.
The 2 switches i would like to connect are a WS-C3550-12T and a WS-C3550-48-EM.From what i have read these are 1000-base-fx?
I'm reading the SWITCH OCG for the second time now, and I noticed page 210 is completely missing: it's a duplicate of page 212. I'm still wondering why I didn't see it the first time I read it.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am currently working on an example for a CCNP Spanning Tree Protocol example.I have some lectures on video and getting confused with an example they have provided. It has me baffled as I have compared it against numerous other websites, trawled forums and tried to get other examples to compare it against.Anyway, I have posted screenshots of the topology. They are as follows:
1) topology showing links so can assign costs (100mbps = STP cost 19, 1000mbps = STP cost 4)
2) topology show priority and MAC addresses (priority left at default so root bridge elected by lowest MAC address)
3) topology showing elected root ports **which I do not agree with for switches E & F**
4) topology showing subsequent blocked ports **which I do not agree with for switches D & F, even if I accepted the previous given root port election*** I understand for same cost paths to root bridge that lowest bridge ID wins. So here are my queries:
1) switch E has 2 equal cost paths to root bridge (A):
-via: E > D > A (4 + 19)
-via: E > C > A (4 + 19)
so I think pick the next hop switch with lower bridge ID. Switch C right? In this example it says pick port going to switch D. I am confused! Why pick port going toward switch D?
2) switch F has 2 equal cost paths to root bridge (A):
-via: F > C > A (4 + 19)
-via: F > D > A (4 + 19)
so I think pick the next hop switch with lower bridge ID. Switch C right? In this example it says pick port going to switch D. I am confused! Why pick port going toward switch? tell if the example in the diagram (topology 3) is wrong? If it is correct explain why?Now on to issue number 2...If I accept the root port election given in the topology, I go through the process of assigning designated ports and blocked ports.I understand for each link there is at least 1 designated port. If it is a redundant link, one side will be designated, one side blocked. The designated port will be on the side of the lowest bridge ID (priority + MAC address). So here are my queries:
1) there is a redundant link between switch C and switch F
-one side must be designated
-one side must be blocked
-pick the side with lowest bridge ID (priority + MAC address) for designated port
-switch C has same priority as switch F, so based off MAC address, switch C wins i.e. designated port on switch C side, blocked port switch F side.
-In this example it says port from switch C is blocked and port from switch F designated. I am confused! Why pick port going from switch F as designated?
2) there is a redundant link between switch D and switch C
-one side must be designated
-one side must be blocked
-pick the side with lowest bridge ID (priority + MAC address) for designated port
-switch C has same priority as switch D, so based off MAC address, switch C wins i.e. designated port on switch C side, blocked port switch D side.
-In this example it says port from switch C is blocked and port from switch D designated. I am confused! Why pick port going from switch D as designated?

i have a Ws-C3550-24-Emi switch and i need to upgrade its flash memory to 32Mb. I couldn't find any documents in cisco website about the memory upgrade guideline. Possible to upgrade this switch to 32Mb? If so, what's the max of memory i can upgrade? and the part number for this type of memory?
View 4 Replies View RelatedHere iis a diagram of my current lab where I am using IP SLA to automatically switch from ISP 1 to ISP 2 should the connection go down (and vice versa)
My switches are C3550 Layer 3 switches. Both ISP's do work so connectivity is not the problem.
If I shutdown the fa0/19 port on SW1 the SLA kicks in and changes my defualt route out 10.0.1.0 without a problem. And when I do a no shut it comes back to tge 192.168.10.0 netowrk just as we would expect. No problem there.
When I disconnect the ISP 1 cell phone the SLA does switch the defualt route to the 10.0.1.0 netowrk. Okay, just fine so far. Here isthe problem, when i reconnect the cell phone the SLA does not come back to the 192.168.10.0 netowrk without first having to delete the SLA and then recresting it (both switches).
We have two switches; a WS-C3550-48 and a WS-C3548-XL connected via fiber uplink ports. Both switches are on the same subnet 192.168.1.0 /24. I would like to change the subnet of the second switch, WS-C3548-XL, to be on 192.168.2.0 /24. Would it be possible to assign 192.168.2.x IP addresses to both uplink ports to achive this?
Or would I need to create a separate VLAN and assign both GigabitEthernet0/1 uplink ports to this VLAN?
I'm trying to configure my C3550 with fast ethernet port 0/48 assigned to vlan 2 in static access mode and SVI vlan 2 configured as dhcp client.
But I see command ip address dhcp is not available on interface vlan 2:

Could it be a problem related to the version running on the equipment (see below the output of sh version command not sure of what EA1 stands for)? I read here [URL] that this command was introduced in version 12.1(2)T

i have a strange problem in my campus network.im trying to run port security on my access switches which they are 3550 with ios c3550-ipservicesk9-mz.122-52.SE when i run the port security with Sticky option, even i put 1000 mac address for just learning on the port but when i issue the switchport port-security command every pc connected to that port loses its connection with network UNTIL i enable dhcp snooping!!! all my client are getting they ip address from DHCP server but strange thing is that how on earth i have to enable DHCP snooping to port security work properly? also when i check the configuration under the interface when dhcp snooping is not yet enabled switch doesnt add any mac address under the interface so no one can work until i enable snooping and then switch adds mac addresses under the interface configuration.is this Bug on this version of IOS?[code]

I have purchased these two switches from ebay as a test lab, I plan to connect them up via a gigastack modulecable and enable ip routing on the c3550 and vlans to talk to each other.
I'm very much a procurve person and really need to get into the cisco switching.I will want to trunklacp between the switches - whats the process is setting that up on cisco switches?
I need 10gigbit uplink for this switch. What are the other devices that i need order along with this device.And what is the diff between X2-10GB-LR= and CVR-X2-SFP.if i take CVR-X2-SFP, in future how can i upgrade from one gig to 10 gig?for current use i need 10gig support required. so what are all the other devices that i need to order.Fiber multimode and distance 15Mt only.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a 2 cisco switches that are at different sites one is a Cisco CAT4500 and other 3560. The connection between the switches is a layer 2 fibre link. CAT4500 and 3560 both have VLAN interface ip addresses in order for me to connect to the switches.
I have PC A connected to CAT4500 and PC B connecting to 3560. All these devices are the same VLAN and in the same subnet. I do have trunk links all the way though allowing this vlan as we run vlans. From PC A, I can ping CAT4500, 3560 and even PC B. This tells me everything is fine regarding Layer 2 & 3.
As soon as I move PC B and connect it to the other switch CAT4500 or move the other PC vice versa (this happens in both directions). Both switches learn that the mac address has moved locations and updates its mac address table accordingly. So when I do a show mac address table and show arp, everything has learned and moved fine. However when I try to ping any other device from PC B I cannot. So the 3560 switch PC B was originally connected to, I can no longer ping, the switch cannot see the pc also. It is as if PC B has not learned anything from the switch and cannot respond or reply to any icmp. I have tried this with different end devices, same thing. I am now thinking it has something to do with the switch.
is it possible to assign a loopback address to a typical switch port on a 2950 switch? I want to be able to have some devices connected to a switch to test access lists and VLANs.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm on my way of taking the CCNA Exploration, and even though I haven't got to the LAN Switching and Wireless course, one question does bug me. In your average LAN, does your average switch has an ip address, or is it a 'dumb' device like a repeater ? Is the same true for layer 2 switches and layer 3 switches or is there a difference in terms of IP addressing ? Can you even assign an IP address to a switch ? Would you want to do that and why ?
