Cisco WAN :: 3750-x Output Drop / Remote IP Phone Calls Keep Going Off
Dec 4, 2012
We have a 100Mbps metro-ethernet link connecting to a remote site. This link is terminating in our 3750-x stack switch.We are getting a LOT of output drop on that interface and our remote IP Phone calls keep going off because of that.I've disabled all kind of QoS, but no luck.
We have an RVS4000 router at two ends of a VPN tunnel. The VPN tunnel is working fine, however a phone at the remote site drops calls, even though they sound clear and unblemished. I have set highest priority on the port the phone is hooked up to at the remote site, and have set a priority for upload traffic on both routers, but the phone stills drops calls after 2 to 3 minutes.
About 2 years ago I bought my first laptop and the person I was with recommended my purchasing of a Belkin router. I bought the router, it worked great until this past summer when suddenly whenever somebody called my house phone, my connection was dropped. I was angry cause naturally I have those family members that want to call and talk on the phone with my mother for hours. Eventually I figured out I could work about the problem by hooking the Ethernet cord on my Westel directly to my laptop. Its a temporary fix though in my opinion because this requires me having to sit on the floor against my bed room door and this isn't comfortable, not to mention its also confining, I miss walking around the house with my laptop. Anyway this past weekend I decided to try buying a new Belking N300. This however didn't solve the problem, I still got my signal dropped whenever somebody called the house.
We have a Cisco Router 3825 which we use to convert phone calls from PSTN to SIP.Can any one suggest us (or point to a documentation) as to how can we use this router as a load balancer (to balance load among different SIP terminals) ?
We are seeing output drops on a C3560 switchport, this port does not have QoS enabled -- application does not need special qos treatment, as long as packets are not droppd, so I suppose all traffic will share the same queue? then how should I read the output of "show platform port-asic stats drop" which indicates that it is queue 3 weight 2 drop? I am wondering what is the best way to fix this? enable mls QoS and increase queue 3 bandwidth share on this interface or just increase the output queue depth?
switch#sh mls qos interface gi0/1 GigabitEthernet0/1 QoS is disabled. When QoS is enabled, following settings will be applied trust state: not trusted
In my cisco 3845 router I can see output packet drop in some of the interfaces.I suspect that router is processing packet beyond its mix throughput limit. Moreover when i run show int fax/y switching command I can see packet drop by RP process.
We have a new deployment where we have 5 total 7921G wifi phones connected via 2 AP541n access points, one connected to a ESW520p switch and then to the UC540 and the other connected directly to the UC540. The wifi phones are intermittently giving no audio when calling each other, however, calls to the PSTN consistently do have 2 way audio. Is this a security issue perhaps? We are running the latest CCA software pack as this is a brand new deployment, also the AP's were upgraded to the latest firmware.
I have a stack of 4 Cisco WS-C2960S-48FPS-L switches running c2960s-universalk9-mz.122-58.SE1 code. One of our network monitoring tools is indicating discards on a certain port on the switch. Upon further investigation I am seeing the Total output drops values change in a very odd manner.
The numbers seem to go from 573 to 1146 to 1719 then back down to 573 and it starts the same pattern over: [code]
The port utilization is quite low, the highest I've seen over the past 7 days is 3.5% with a polling period of every 30 seconds using Statseeker. Yet the discards are bouncing all over the place.
I've searched though the bugs for 12.2(58)SE1 and didn't see anything.
I'm in charge of the IT of a dorm with 200 inhabitants. A lot of people complain about the bad quality of "skype-calls". Audio is delayed and video stucks. The actual speed of our internet connection should be fast enough so I guess it has something to do with the QOS setting. I checked it on our WLC 3750 and right now we use Silver (best effort). Could there be any improvement when I set it to Platinum?
I am looking at the interface stats of port Fa1/0/2 and see something strange. Ouput drops are 42Billion in 16mins, then 21249 few seconds later, then followed by 42Billion drops again, then 21444...and so forth..I keep getting an entirely different output drops reading everytime i refresh within seconds of each refresh!
sh int fa1/0/2 FastEthernet1/0/2 is up, line protocol is up (connected) Hardware is Fast Ethernet, address is ecc8.8266.d604 (bia ecc8.8266.d604) Description: MSGMERGF1 MTU 1500 bytes, BW 100000 Kbit/sec, DLY 100 usec, reliability 255/255, txload 12/255, rxload 11/255
I've been working on breaking down and understanding the default auto qos configuration on a Cisco 3750 in the hopes of putting together a QoS strategy that will fit our environment. I'm having some difficulty understanding how the "mls qos queue-set output" syntax works.
From another post, at [URL], the author offers the following example and explanation;
How come there is syntax stating "threshold 2" when in the succeeding part the 400 refers to thresshold 1 and threshold 2 again? The syntax 400 400 is, apparently, already referring to thresshold 1 and 2, no?
I have a 3750 switch (c3750-ipbasek9-mz.122-46.SE.bin) were i want to add bandwitdh limit pr. interface, doing the following:
ip access-list extended customer_A permit ip any any class-map match-all BW_10Mbps
[Code]....
When i trie to apply the "service-policy output 10 Mbps" to the interface, it says the service-policy output is not supported on the switch. Is this a software related isue ?
I am seeing Interface output drops that appera to be incorrect. When I do "Show Interface gi1/0/20", I will get interface output drops of "4294961382". But, when I do the same command again it shows "0" drops. Is this a reporting error? I am ruinning c3750-ipservicesk9-mz.122-58.SE.bin on a 3750 stack with 2 switches in the stack. [code]
One of my Catalyst 3750 switch have many out drops, I execute "sh mls qos int g2/0/3 statist" command, there are many output drops in queue3 threshold3. [code]
When configuring QoS on 3750s/3560s, we're mapping packets to particular interface output queues with commands such as: [code] The command to see what's actually being enqueued, dropped, etc. is: [code]
Note that these queues are numbered 0 - 3, and not 1 - 4. We've been assuming that the first queue number in the "mls qos" (i.e., 1) command maps to the first queue (i.e., 0) in the "show mls qos" command.
I've been fighting what seems to be an increased number of outqueue drops on our core stack and edge switches for the last 3 or 4 weeks.(The core consists of a stack of 5 3750s in 32-gig stack mode. The wkgrp switches are 3560s. all are at 12.2.52) The wkgrp switches are directly connected to users. We use Nortel IP phones with the phone inline with the user PC. auto-neg to 100/full. [code] However I have tried turning off QOS on a couple of workgroup switches (no mls qos, but left individual port configurations the same) but am still seeing drops.Since I have disabled qos on the switches in question (no mls qos) (not the core tho) I am presuming these commands have no affect on the switch operation and therefore cannot be related to the problem. With QOS turned off one would presume that it is general congestion - especially at the user edge where busy PC issues might contribute. So I wanted to see if I could see any instances of packets in the output queues building up.
I wrote some scripts and macros that essentially did a snapshot of 'show int' every 20 seconds or so, and looked for instances of 'Queue: x/' where x was greater than zero.What I found after several days of watching the core stack, and a few of the workgroup switches that are most often displaying the behavior, was that I NEVER saw ANY packets in output queues. I often saw packets in Input queues for VLAN1, once in a great while I would see packets on input queues for fa or Gi interfaces, but NEVER on output queues. [ code] Additionally, when I look (via snmp) at interface utilization on interfaces showing queue drops (both core and wkgroup), they are occurring at ridiculously low utilization levels (as low as 4 to 8%). I've tried to look for microbursts between the core and a wkgroup switch where the core interface was experiencing drops, but haven't seen any (using observer suite). [code] While the queue-drop counts aren't critically high at this point, they are happening more frequently than in the past and I would like to understand what is going on... In most cases, no error counters are incrementing for these interfaces. Is there some mechanism besides congestion that could cause output queue drops?
iam having two PC's which are not connected through LAN. in our office we are having a private telephone network and both the locations are connected with this telephone network (MAX) connection. Is it possible to connect the both PCs through remote desktop connection through this telephone network we are having ?. we are provided with internet conncetion for one PC.
I have an issue on the Cat 3750 on the voice vlan; IP Phone not registering with PBX & Signaling Server. The ip phone hits dhcp and gets an ip address from a data scope. Data scope does have dhcp options for voice, same as voice scope so it should work but it doesnt.We removed the switchport access vlan 50 command, and left the switchport access voice vlan 51, and now the phone registers.Anything I can check on the switch to make sure voice vlan is working? Any debug voice vlan commands?The switch doesnt seem to distinguish voice and data traffic.I check dhcp and both scopes vlan 50 and vlan 51 have the same configuration. Defautl GW is different of course Catalyst 3750 is running 12.2(25)SEE2 [code]
I am developing the system remote control desktop from mobile phone through internet. I want how the connection is established between mobile phone and desktop through internet? What is the exact process of connection and internal structure of connection
Since Avaya phones do not run CDP, how does the phone know which DHCP pool to pull from to get its IP address if the PC is connected to the phone.
Let's say I have a interface config like this interface gigabitethernet1/0/1 cisco3750(config-if)#switchport mode trunk cisco3750(config-if)#switchport access vlan 126 [code]....
And two DHCP scopes configured on the switch. What keeps the phone from pulling from the wrong scope?
I have installed the Phone Remote software [URL] on the torch and playbook but am not able to pair them together.The FAQ's and directions have been followed painstakingly but have not any success. My router is knowledge is basic but read through the manual and have been searching the net for answers. I have uPNP enabled and no firewall.
the phone connects to the 3750-A access layer switch (VTP mode client) which connects to the nexus 5596 (The nexus is the layer 3 device and set to vtp mode server) and finally we have a Voice recorder that connects to another access layer 3750-B switch.(VTP mode client)
For voice recording I need to setup RSPAN and the nexus5596 does not support RSPAN will the following have any impact on the nexus
IF I move the 3750-B to VTP server mode and run the command remote span on the VLan I need to Rspan its going to update the VTP data base in short it will update the vlan.dat file for all the switch in that VTP domain.
AS the vtp update reaches the nexus saying there is a change (keeping in mind the nexus does not support rspan not sure hows its going to handle that request and how its going to update its vlan.dat file)
Is it going to incremment the VTP revision number? can it crash the vlan.dat file on the nexus ? or do nothing and ignore the update and stop the update from proceeding to the 3750 A switch?
I was trying to remotely command my iTunes library via an iPhone app called Remote. It worked for some times with an intermittent disconnection problem due to the iPhone locking. But even after unlocking the phone and reconnecting the Wi-Fi, Remote couldn't find my iTunes library again and my only workaround was to relaunch iTunes on the PC (which is Ethernet-wired to my router). Few days ago nothing worked!!! I could no more get Remote to find iTunes.
I could not find a solution even by rebooting the router or unplugging the PC's Ethernet cable. Last night I powered off the router and after 10s I powered it on again. And then it worked!I highly suspect a problem between my router and Bonjour which is as UPnP, an Apple protocol for discovering communicating devices. Discovery phase being usually done with broadcast frames, something goes wrong in the router with processing the broadcasts, or is it a Bonjour problem?Please note that even now that Remote can find iTunes, I still have my old intermittent disconnection problem.So is there any incompatibility between WRT-610N and Bonjour and what is the fix ?
We have a need to access an VLAN at the main office( ie Core Switch 6500,switch 3750) from a remote site(Cisco3845 router, Switch3750) connecting by a SP through fibre link.
what is the easiest and quick way to do it and the user from the remote site just want to have access to that VLAN for a couple of days only.
I have two networks at two sites with a dot1q trunk between the two L3 switches at both sites (no routers involved)
SITE A - Cisco 3750 L3 - VLAN ID 50 10.10.50.0/24
SITE B - Cisco 3750 L3 - VLAN ID 50 10.20.50.0/24
I would like to extend the SITE A VLAN to SITE B so that I can move hosts from SITE A to SITE B without needing to change their IP address but the vlan ID is already in use. Obviously the easy solution is to change the VLAN ID for one or other of the sites but both sites contain hosts that run 24/7. Is there a way to join two VLANs with different IDs together.So for example I create a new VLAN 60 at SITE B and associate it with VLAN 50 at SITE A.
We have 2 h323 IP phones (non cisco) that connect to an IP PBX via a VPN connection using PIX 5505's at each end. The VPN seems to work fine and the phones can be used normally with good call quality, display, status...The problem is that when talking on the phones for any extended period of time, the phone reboots, drops the call and then restarts automatically. This problem usually happens on phone calls lasting 20 minutes or more but has happened on calls as short as 15 minutes. I have also made calls which have gone 45 minutes before the reboot. I have removed everything from the network hosting the remote IP phones except for a single phone and the problem still occurs. It is not a POE Issue as the phones can use a power brick and it still happens. The same phones work perfectly on-site when not using the VPN.Someone has mentioned that I should adjust the UDP Timout Timers of the VPN. I don't see any UDP timers and am at a complete loss on what is causing this. The data traffic does not seem to get dropped when connected accross the VPN for hours at a time.
I am encountering delays when making any calls using VOIP. I understand that there is always a delay using VOIP but not as much. I've done a bandwidth test on my network and everything seems to be Ok, we have 4 T1s with 55 Reps using it. There is nothing choking up the network.
As stated in the attached picture, my company has a remote office which its PBX was connected to the main PBX via a pair of leased lines and a pair of E1/HDSL converters. (The distance is about 2 kilometers, so the E1 was converted to HDSL and then back to E1 at the remote site)
Now, IP network is developed between two sites.We want to transfer the calls via a pair of 2811 Routers, both equipped with VWIC2-1MFT-T1/E1, as the second part of the picture. I tried to find an straightforward document, but I was unsuccessful.What configurations should be made at both ends to transfer the calls to/from the remote site ?
