Cisco WAN :: Service Module Installation In 3845 Router?
Jun 3, 2013
Is there any risk to install an HWIC-2FE card into a production 3845 router while it is in a powered up state? Is it recommended to power it down first, then install it?
I'm about to install a new E1 onto my 3845 as backup line for my data network. We usually use VWIC2 cards since our infrastructure covers EU and US sites. But this time, I ran out of stock and so did my supplier. I have a VWIC-1MFT-G703 card here but not sure if it would work. What is the difference compared to the regular VWIC-1MFT-E1 ?
To configure the GRE tunnel over IPSEC with OSFT via Encryption module from Cisco Router 3845, I have few queries:
1. Does the router 3845 support hot swap for encryption module? 2. Does the router require to be rebooted after plug in encryption module? 3. Any samples configuration for GRE tunnel over IPSEC?
We are planning to install a new SSM-4GE module on both Active and Standby firewalls. how can we install an new SSM-4GE with a minimum outage. I was planning to install the module in the following steps.
1. Power off the secondary firewall(FW02). 2. Install a new module. 3. Power up the secondary firewall 4. Power off the primary firewall(FW01)---> in this step will the secondat firewall become active as there is a hardware conflict. 5. Install a new module. 6. Power up the Primary firewall(FW01)
or do i need to power down both the firewalls and then install the modules?i have is that after the installation only one port on the new SSM-4GE module would be in use on Primary firewall(FW01) which is a terminating link from a router. No link would be terminating on the new SSM-4GE module on secondary firewall. Will the firewalls still fail over in this case or does it require a link going to the secondary firewall on new SSM-4GE module(same port as on primary firewall) from the router.
Can the encryption module (DES/ 3DES/AES/SSL VPN Encrytion/compression) for Cisco Router 3845 able to support the external connection from other high end router, for example cisco 7200? What is the maximum bandwidth, load and concurrent connection it can support?
We had a fan fail on our 3845 edge router. No big deal; the other two fans kept the temperature easily within spec, and the module is a two minute hot swap. I opened a ticket, they sent me a replacement. Simple. (In fact, the router install docs note that the fans are essentially a "consumable" part, and will fail within a few years, depending on how hot and dusty your environment is.)
The fan module is actually the whole face plate of the router, blue plastic with a steel backing, status LEDs, and the three fans.That is all fine. But, Cisco won't take the failed part back for refurbishment, which in this case would be simply to replace the fans!
The replacement part came with the standard Cisco return packaging: a sticker with an RMA #, a "manual" paper UPS label, and instructions to use their on-line tool [URL]. But, when I entered the RMA number, I got a pop-up saying it was invalid, and I should call Cisco Asset Recovery, whose 800 number is also on the sticker.
They told me that this part is not returnable; that the RMA is only to ID the shipment so they can confirm I got it. They told me to just throw it out. They would not provide a printable return shipping label.
I'd feel bad throwing out even the substantial cardboard and foam packaging of this part, let alone the assembled unit!
Hasn't Cisco heard that there is a general industry movement to cut down on electronic waste? With the removal of six screws, I could swap the failed fan out of this assembly and replace only the fan. I'm glad Cisco didn't ask me to do that level of repair, but I certainly think they should -- I'd assumed that the replacement unit I'd received was a return "refurbished" with new fans.It seems a complete waste to just chuck out this whole thing.
Heck, even the tiny power supply bricks for the Aeronet APs have a little "no trash" sticker on them, with a link to [URL]. Why do they just dispose of router faceplace assemblies when the only issue is a fan that was expected to fail in the first place?
Attached photo shows the 3845 front piece, which is the fan assembly, and the package the replacement came in, which could be used to return this part, and then be reused. For comparison, the little black thing in front is an Aeronet 1131 power module, which has a Cisco Recycles sticker.
I am having issues (nothing new there) I have a bad IOS on a switch module, and the config is set to boot to that IOS, and as such I get a nasty boot loop, I am trying to figure out how to get into rommon but all the documentation I can find for this just says go into rommon and never tells me how to get there on a switch module that thinks it has a good IOS. (The IOS is for our normal service module but this one is an odd-ball switch)
can I install and Cisco WAAS and Cisco Prime Network Analysis Module (NAM) together on a single Cisco Service-Ready Engine (SRE) 910 module? Or it can only run 1 of the software?
I am having Cisco 3845 series router with c3900-universalk9-mz.SPA.151-4.M2.bin IOS . I want to install new Licence on it for DATA. When i am trying to install licence on it i am facing the error "% Error: License installation failed with error: XML parsing failed".
I have some confusion about some hardware components. I watched the video datasheet of cisco routers and switches. In cisco 2901 and 2911 models of routers there is service module . What is meant by service module. what does it do ? If we buy a new 6500 switch, what are the components we get bydefault. Is there any special configuraton to be done for 6500 . like Sup engine config etc. What is the difference between ASIC and Sup engine ? In which slots, we need to insert Supervisor Engine ? does it vary with the model . (6503, 6505, 6509, 6513 etc).
I just got 2 Cat6504 Chassis and 2 ASASM pluged in them. show version from submodule ASA as follow:
SVC-APP-HW-3#show ver Cisco IOS Software, trifecta Software (trifecta-SP-M), Version 15.1(1)SY, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2)
[Code].....
I want to upgrade new OS for ASA to 8.5 (asa851-smp-k8.bin) but after copy this soft to the module, I can not "write" command or when I reload this box, everything was no changed. SVC-APP-HW-3#write startup-config file open failed (No such device)
Using the new SUP-2T, need to clarify one query. If we are using the new SUP-2T in VSS mode, will the new ASA service module and NAM-3 are supported? From Cisco site, ASA module FAQ:
Q. Will the ASA Services Module support the Cisco Catalyst Virtual Switching System (VSS) at FCS?
A. Yes, depending on which supervisor you use. The ASA Services Module supports VSS either as a single firewall or as a failover pair of firewalls, when used with the Supervisor 720-10G (VS-S720-10G-3C and VS-S720-10G-3CXL). Transparent and multi- context modes also work with the VSS in this configuration. However, though the SUP 720-3B (WS-SUP720-3B and WS-SUP720-3BXL) is supported by the ASA Services Module, it is not capable of supporting the VSS. No reference to Supervisor-2T.
we are planning to implement a VSS solution with a 6500 series switches with sup 2T. We also need to include an ASA service module on the design, however the budget is not enough to buy two asa service modules. So i want to know if is possible run a VSS cluster, whit only one ASA service Module. and also i would like know what happens if the single ASA service module fails? can the switch cluster continue operating just as if there is not a firewall installed?
I am currently installing a NM-AIR -WLC 6 wireless module in a 2811 and its giving me the follwing errors below and status.I have checked the trouble shooting pdf and says might be possible hardware error. [code]
I have an ACE10-6500-K9 (Application Control Engine service module for Catalyst 6500) but I can't access it because I lost the admin password.I would like to know how to perform a Password Recovery Procedure on this device.Is it similar to the password recovery procedure on an ACE 4700 appliance?
Does ACE service module support SHA2(256) certificates? I see that private key generation defaults to SHA1 and does not provide any option, also the cipher suites in SSL parameters map do not show SHA2 options. Can it handle SHA2 in any software release? I am currently running A2(2.3) build 3.00
My ACE module ACE30-MOD-K9 crashed today, and at the show ver output i see "last boot reason: Service "cfgmgr" ".the curent version we running is Version A5(1.2) [build 3.0(0)A5(1.2).
After doing some research i found known bug that supposed to be fixed in this version: CSCtu36146
CSCtu36146—The ACE becomes unresponsive due to a configuration manager (Cfgmgr) process failure with the last boot reason: Service "cfgmgr."
we have approx. 70 Cisco 1941W routers deployed in our company. I used to be able to console into the internet wireless AP by issuing the below command:
service-module wlan-ap0 session
However lately this hasn't been working and AP just simply refuses connection. Here is what I have for Status. I have tried reseting the Service Module to no avail.
Router#service-module wlan-ap0 status Service Module is Cisco wlan-ap0 Service Module supports session via TTY line 67 Service Module is failed Service Module reset on error is disabled Service Module heartbeat-reset is enabled Service Module is in fail open Service Module status is not available
I m planning to implement VSS in core but want some inputs on IOS as i have FWSM as a service module Core :- Ii am running 12.2(33)SXH2a on my Core 6509 and i checkd cisco sites and Fwsm release notes but it states only I-Train of IOS while mine is H-Train so can I directly upgrade to I-Train or I was thinking of SXH8b IOS.
I can access the ACNS with this config. The issue is that it will not cache anything when I enable WCCP on both ends. I am unable to set the gateway to the IP (even when static) to the WAN interface IP with the error Network Unreachable by content engine. If I address it within the 192.168.2.X network and gateway to 2.1, it locks up when cache is enabled. 192.168.0.5 (the external wan int) is unreachable as a gateway.
I've tried the unnumbered ip on the internal interface but then the service module won't accept an IP stating that the router side must have an IP set.
I had WCCP attempting to cache but timing out on everything without caching a thing. I want/need to understand the IP routing before I get ahead of myself.
I'm migrating from a failover pair of FWSM modules across to a failover pair of ASA Service Modules. In order to avoid a "big bang" switchover I intend to migrate subnets from one to the other over a protracted period.With that in mind, whether there is any restriction on having FWSM and ASASM modules in the same chassis? A trawl of the relevant documentation hasn't revealed anything.In this specific case it is Catalyst 6509E VSS chassis pairs with Sup-2T.
Is there any physical or technical diferrences between PWR-3845 AC/2 and PWR-3845 AC? We are trying to order replacement parts and wondering if PWR-3845 AC is for one power supply and AC/2 means you get two with one order?

When I create a service object or group and add the object to a new rule it never works.I mean the traffic match not the rule. I see not hits.I placed the rule on top of my access list to check if I do somethink wrong but it is not working. When I place only a service for example tcp/23 it is working.
We have a situation where services are stopped on the real servers. The probes fail and we confirm the services are not running on the server. We cannot access the ports from the ACE directly. We can still however acces the VIP on the TCP port (L4 VIP class-map). So we can still telnet to the VIP on the port from thr Client side of the network.This is on ACE 20 Modules deployed in Routed mode. The version of software is A2(3.3).
Tried removing multi-match and loadbalance policies as well as class-map and re-applying then re-appyling the service policy to interface. Same behavior,This is a problem at another level as some services are being monitored by GSS via TCP keep-Alive and this obviuosly causes a problem as the service then never goes off-line.
I have a fresh installation of LMS 4.0 on windows server 2003, when i click to open topology i get error message : ANIServer service may be down or Host name isn't DNS resolvable
i tried pdshow -brief ANIServer ===> service UP
DNS is working using host file in driversetc i restarted the server
I am installing a security license on Cisco 2911 Router for the first time. It already has a temporary license installed on it which is expiring soon. Cisco has already mailed me the procedure for installation. I want to know if i need to uninstall the previous license before installing the new one.
I am installing Cisco blank CF upgrades (double the capacity of the CF that came with the router) in Cisco 3845 routers and I cannot get the IOS to load.
Network security requires tftp be disabled, so I am limited to xmodem. Slow, but it works. I know the IOS download is good, because I can load it on the CF that came with the router.
I can install, format and read the new flash. But the download locks up and bombs about 1/3 of the way through.
Note: CF that came with the router was "C" so I used the format flash: command. The new flash reads the same as the old, except that there is no file IOS loaded.
I've never had an issue upgrading an IOS, but this is my first shot at installing on a new CF.
1841 & 3845 router. We send 30 GB data on 100 Mbps link. First time we use 3845 router for sending the data and 47 Min are required to complete the data, during this link utilization was 100%. After that we send same data through 1841 router & 46 Min are required for the same. Only difference in data transfer is CPU Utilization of 1841 router goes 30% & 5 % of 3845 router Can we use 1841 router instead of 3845 router ? .
