Cisco WAN :: Running MPLS - 6503 Switch Or 7201 Router?
Oct 16, 2012
I am looking at running MPLS from from one datacentre to the other (we have a layer2 interconnect and can run jumbo frames) I need about 70 access ports (each in a seperate VRF) at the new datacentre
I am looking at :
2x 6503'-Es with sup720-3B and a 48x port linecard
or
2x 7201 router with 2x 2960-S layer 2 access switches.
I am having an issue with connecting to a Cisco 7201 via the AUX port through a modem. The modem is plugged into the AUX port and I am dialing into the modem, everything seems to be working fine as I get a login prompt and my banner etc but I can't type anytihng. If I type then nothings happens... If I just type a bunch of random characters on the keyboard then when the authentication prompt times out and it goes back to the username, it will show a few of those characters.. I have tried many things, changing speeds etc, I have even tried changing modems and it is doing the exact same thing.Here is my config:
line aux 0 exec-timeout 2 0 modem Dialin transport input all stopbits 1 speed 115200 flowcontrol hardware
I have searched on here and found people having similar problems but no solutions. I have tried this one a Cisco 2821 with the same config and it works with no problem, the only difference is the phone line is different.
I am attempting to install an asa 5510 at my hq. Our MPLS network is provided by our ISP and the routers are managed by them. They will be working with me to add the needed routes to the routers. Using version 8.4.1 That said, here is my challenge:
I am connecting the MPLS routers and WAAS device to my core switch(also performing inter-vlan routing) in VLAN 2. There are 3 connections needed for the mpls equipment and they are all in vlan 2 on my core switch. The firewall (ASA 5510 with security plus licensing) also has an interface (outside) in vlan 2.
e0/0 shutdown no nameif
[Code]....
configuration guides or suggest TAC as they have been a bit inconsistent with this issue thus far. What am I missing because I cannot get to where inside interface of the firewall is pingable by the lan and the outside interface of the firewall is pingable by the lan.
I've done some tests and it seems that a 7201 supports GETVPN without a VAM, but in the design guide it states that this is needed.Is this needed as the 7201 documentation states that it performs IPSEC encryption in hardware without a VAM.
We recently deployed a FWSM on our 6503-e boxes (w/ sup720). NAT is working (PAT) but the issue I am seeing is private traffic from remote sites is not being allowed through the FW. I was able to get the remote site to ping the FWSM itself (inside address), but no hosts behind it. Maybe an ACL issue? Also when I turn off NAT on the remote end, I can than access everything (We are NATng on both ends). Im a routing guy by nature so I will defer this to the security guys out there.
I've got a 6503, SupII/MSFC running Native code, so I'm pointing the boot variable to disk0: (bootflash is not large enough for the image file). In using the wr erase, the boot variable is getting wiped as the wr erase removes all nvram files, and apparently the boot variable is stored there. I also tried the erase start, which also hits everything in nvram.
So, any clean way to wipe a config without forcing the router into ROMMON to reset the boot variable, or do I need to just expect that is part of the standard approach?
I want to migrate a Cat 6503-E VSS to Cat 6509E VSS. We plan to use the same supervisor that we have on the Cat6503E, for minimizing the configuration change on the Doing this, the vss link will need to be changed, due to the fact that the supervisor slot will change with the Cat 6509, slot 5 instead of 1.
Question: is there a way to just change the vsl-link interface on a existing VSS ?
I have an issue with a customers 6503 with Sup-2T cards, where we are locked out of the console due to an authentication configuration error. So tried several times to get the card into rommon, with no success.
Checking through the various documents on CCO I dont find any reference to rommon on this card, but do find information on using the CMP to support the supervisor. I logged into the CMP but couldn't find a way from there to do a password reccovery either.So, is the `normal' IOS rommon/password recovery method supported.
I have a cisco 6503 - e series switch which runs c6sup22-psv-mz.121-26.E4.bin. Both superviser engine and MSFC2 card run the same IOS image i guess. In my boot flash their is another image c6msfc2-jsv-mz.121-4.E1. o what is the difference between these images c6msfc2-jsv-mz.121-4.E1 and c6msfc-boot-mz.121-4.E1.
i'd like to configure OSPF on a Catalyst 6503 IOS 12.2.17.i habe an Gi1/9 with the ip address 192.168.97.30/24 and a VLAN 19 with the IP Address 192.168.19.0/24.I configured OSPF like this
router ospf 1 network 192.168.97.0 0.0.0.255 area 10.5.0.0 network 192.168.19.0 0.0.0.255 area 10.5.0.0
on the ospf peer is see that the adjaceny is established but i don't get the routes for the 192.168.19.0 network i checked the ip ospf interface vlan 19; i got ospf is not enabled on the interface then i tried to configure
I have a Catalyst 4510 that is running IOS version 15.X that has a bug and Cisco recommends upgrading the IOS. Are there additional steps required to perform an IOS upgrade due to licencing Cisco put in place?
i have a 7201 router with NPE-G2. i have a design which i have the option to send all the traffic through a GRE tunnel or a L2TPV3 tunnel.which method is more CPU consumption ?
I have one cisco 4507R+E.My question is if the IOS of the acive SUP crushed and the switch is running through it's second SUP then how to restore the IOS of the first SUP.Also how to access the ROMON mode of the crushed SUP when switch is running through second SUP.
I currently have a 150 nodes MPLS network. My management is anxious to join some sites with 3G routers as their centres move around a lot.My current MPLS site as 4 x Ps with lots of PEs linking to the 150 x CEs. Is there a way to easily link up my 3G routers to my MPLS network? I have heard DMVPN may be a solution, but not sure how to implement.
I have some Cisco 2651 routers, I was trying to implement MPLS on those routers, Can i accomplish this upgrading newer IOS version? link to download the supported IOS.
Can Cisco2951 work as an MPLS router. If yes what will be needed to make it function as an MPLS router? Else which alternative router can function as an MPLS router.
Currently I'm looking for a way to failover our internet connection from one site to another site over our MPLS line, should that internet connection go down.
My layout: Internet > Cable internet modem (Site B) > ASA 5510 (Site B) > 2821 Router (Site B) > MPLS Line > 2821 Router (Site A) > ASA5510 (Site A) > ISP provider internet router (Site A) > Internet
Facts:Site B is the one with the internet issues.The MPLS line is routed using BGP. [URL]
i m planning to use the 2921 router for both mpls and internet connection , to 2 different isp also am planning to use bgp with a public providor independant
I have 3 locations connected with MPLS connectivity … 2 mbps , 2 mbps branches and 4 mbps and I have Cisco 1841 router ?Last few days I am facing problem that Cisco 1841 router’s Lan port suddenly stop working and connectivity get disconnected.In this stage branch offices can reach up to CISCO 1841 WAN port.
( I have changed 2 different router assuming router problem but issues remain same, Hence No hardware problem )
I wanted to get some opinions on the topic above. We are purchasing MPLS services from a large ISP and they offer a managed router option. I will also have a Cisco ISR 2900 at each site running SRST for my voice system. I have some experience with BGP and am not scared at all to support it if need be. That said, I am currently looking at pros and cons of going with a managed router from this company vs managing my own. Actually, I will manage my own regardless and would just plug it into the managed router. My router is perfectly capable of handling the BGP protocol but I am hoping that I can get some opinions from all of you.
I have 30 switched in my corporate network it’s all up and running all switches running by default configuration and connected to WS-C4506 core switch our dhcp server pooling 192.168.100.1/27 network. Now we need to configure new Vlan for finance department this department has more than 200 users. If my server distributes 192.168.200.0 range ip can vlan2 automatically assign ip 200.0 addresses to finance department.All switches running default config no ip address assigned.
I need to replace an existing ASA 5540 with a new ASA 5525X. I would like to pre-stage and configure the new box with the existing config, migrate license and export certificate files before swapping it with the old one during a change window. The new firewall will run 9.1 on deployment. Now the same 7.2(4) cannot just be copied over to 5525X running the minimum 8.6 version. There is a Web based tool available at [URL] according to Cisco documentation but the page does not load for me (Cisco intranet only tool ?). Is there another tool for automatic conversion ?
i just want to administor cisco ASA5520 and cisco router mpls 1900 can some tell me as admin what to check as u get into office /reguraly in cisco asa 5520 and vpn mpls router for administrator ,right now its working as configured by supplier for remote sites to connect HQ and access several server,My interest to know what are the basic day to day checkup on cisco asa5520 working as ips and cisco asa 5520 working as content filtering and cisco vpn mpls
