Cisco Wireless :: 5508 / WLC Port Channel Host Flapping
Oct 9, 2011
I have setup LAG for one of our 5508 controllers and have connected 4 of the 8 ethernet ports to a 4507 switch. After configuring 2 port channels on the switch we are receiving a host flapping error between the port channels and it seems to be causing a serious slowdown on the switch. When I shutdown one of the port channels the error goes away and traffic returns to normal. I have the same configuration at other locations with the only difference being the switches used are 3750G-12S and I do not see the host flapping error. It appears to only be a problem with modular switches.
One other thing of note: I read a Cisco white paper on LAG and it suggested creating the port channels over 2 different modules. For example, put ports G4/24 and G5/24 in port channel 1 and G4/25 and G5/25 in port channel 2. I tried this but I still got the host flapping error.
I have two Core 6509E SUP2T configued as VSS and has two 48 ports fiber blades. I have two 3750s, I have two gig on each 3750 port-channle to po1 and connected to both the core, one link to each core.Now, I was asked ot add two more links on each 3750 switch to make it a total of 4 gigs on each 3750s (all 4 gig ports/uplinks will be in used an dtwo links to core one an dtwo links to core 2).when i added two additional links on 3750s and bundled them to po1, I created another port channel on core and bundeled the additional two gigs on each core to accomodate for the two additional links (ports on core switches are not consequtives).
adding these two additional ports makes the 3750 switches flap between managemnet vlan and po1.now, i am not sure if I must have added the two additional links on the core to teh current port-channel or core!? I have created another port-channel on core to accomodate for this currently!?

Configuration as below:
macro name vmware switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q switchport mode trunk no switchport access vlan
[code].....
Note:Both active blade switch and standby one are connecting to same aggregate switch 3750. Yet the active one, with same config as standby one, has not occurred this issue.
we have coonection between c3750 and wlc 5508 and it shows that mac address flaps between two interfaces of c3750. [code] two ports are trunking and one port is for management purposes and the other port is for the all other vlans. But it shows that it flaps always. And i think WLC uses one mac address for all device and not for port specific and that causes problem.
I have multiple wireless access points plugged into a 3560X. When the wireless clients begin roaming they cause duplicate MAC enteries to be created and this causes the switch ports to flap. Is there a way to configure the switch to either ignore the duplicate MAC enteries on the switchports that have been connected to the APs or is there a way to have the ARP tables update and resolve the conflicting MAC enteries with out causing the switchport to flap?
How can i change AP host name for LAP via CLI? I got the error 'command is disabled' when i try to use command 'capwap ap hostname <>'
I try to disconnect LAP from WLC, factory default, clear all private-configure and clear all files in nvram: but not working (still got error). I cannot change via WLC GUI for CAP2602I series. I don't know why.
I checked bug CSCsy17745 but current in use software is fixed.
We have recently implemented a 3rd party certificate for the guest access, currently have a WLC 5508 that has a Vlan directly connected to our DMZ firewall and NATed out. The problem is when I have installed a 3rd party certificate as per the following link URL
The DNS host name that I entered into the DNS Host name section is not resolved. If I remove the DNS name and leave the virtual ip address 1.1.1.1 then it works fine but just comes back with untrusted message.
We have some legacy Cisco 6513 switches with the backbone (16-port GBIC blade) MTU set to 1500. It has a WS-X6148A-GE-TX blade as well, MTU set to 9K.
Now we have a customer sending MTU of 1546, their copper interface terminating on WS-6148A keeps flapping. Does the flapping have something to do with the backbone set to 1500? We cant set the backbone to 9K at this moment since it may be intrusive (reuire a reboot).
We have a pair Cisco 6509 switch in which 2 * 48 Port 1G line cards and 1 * 16 Port 10G line Card, FWSM and Sup 720 are installed.We have Cisco UCS and HP Blade servers.Cisco UCS servers are connected to Cisco 6509 switch using Fabric Interconnect, and HP Servers are directly connected to core switches.Recently the team made many changes in the network. Upgraded the IOS in Cisco 6509 switch, Configured Port profiling , MAC Pinning , HBA Cards to UCS / Nexus 1000V Infrastructure. After this change they lost the connectivity to UCS and HP Serers. Every tower is checking at their end.
The Network Team has reverted back the core switch with old IOS , but still the problem persisit.I could only see the following error log in the core switch. There are two port-channels one between core 1 and core 2. The other is between core switch and FWSM module. [code]
I have Cisco 1811 and Cisco 2960 interconnect with each other by TRUNK link. As time pass i recieving below log on cisco 1811 router.

I have just been setting up a WISM2 in a test lab and for some reason the Supervisor is not creating a port channel on my 6500 as suggested in the WISM2 Deployment Guide. WISM2 is installed in an appropriate slot (according to same doco) and have attempted reset to factory defaults, removing and power cycling several times.
With my current setup on the 5508 controller, I don't have the ability to see any name resolution for wireless clients. I'm wondering if there is some way that I can enable this.
The reason I think this should be pretty easy is because if I enable the access point feature of a smart phone (Android or iPhone), when a client connects, it shows the client name on the smartphone. What's different about how a smartphone sees the wireless client and how WLC/WCS sees it?
So everything I've read on Cisco's documentation here: URL says that I can create a port-channel on two physical interfaces that will uplink to a VSS pair. However, the command is not recognized. What am I missing? I've tried executing "channel-group #" on the physical interface and tried creating the port-channel 1st and neither commands exist. I haven't seen it listed anywhere if it is only available after a specific piece of ASA software. If it is the software what version at a minimum I need to upgrade to? Below is an output from a show version
Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Software Version 8.0(4) Device Manager Version 6.1(3)

So I have a current port-channel between two 6ks that I need to upgrade. There's too much traffic and the port buffers on the SUP7203B sort of suck. Microbursts are causing overruns like mad. Im going to move the 2x1gig port-channel to a 6724 and make it a 3x1gig port-channel. The switches carry production traffic across the link to the tune of about 400 meg during the lowest load time. Initially, I thought that I couldn't move the port channel without temporarily taking down the link but I think I have a workable solution now. Has anyone done this successfully before? Im curious what others have done. Also, to make matters worse, the existing port-channel is 'mode on' and I want to migrate to 'mode active' in the new channel
I want to do the inter vlan routing packet tracer file url...configuration of MLS are as bellow can anyone tell me why vlan on switch0 can not ping vlan on switch1. [code]
Is it possible to configure a Cisco 2801 router with Multipoint Port Channeling? A service provider dropped a 4.5Mbps ( 3x T1s ) to one of our customers without any equipment. They assume the CPE responsible. If so, any links to documentation on this configuration. If not, what device will they need to buy from Cisco that can bundle these 3 T1s together then feed it into their router?
I have configured my Nexus 7018 and 5548 as follow (see diag attached).Both 7000 and 5500 are vPC pair(po1and po2). Now I have created port-chanel between 7018and 5548 as port channel PO3 on 5500. Would it give me 20g bandwidth as PO3?or 10g only uplink to 7018? Do I need to config all four 10g links in PO3 on both 5500 and 7000 switches to achieve max b/w and failover?
We have added GLC-SX-LH module to E1/1 and E1/10 and speed is set to 1000 (1Gig) Now other side of E1/9 and E1/10 are not connected. Port-channel status is down
Po105 1 eth trunk down No operational members 1000(D) lacp
show interface port-channel 105 shows different bandwidth (100) MTU 1500 bytes, BW 100000 Kbit, DLY 10 usec,question is under interface port-channel105 speed 1000 command inserted automatically.Now if we connect otherisde of interface, during port-channel comes up.what will be the port-channel interface bandwidth ? will it change to 2Gig(2000). Why speed 1000 command inserted automatically on port-channel.Since it is migration, we want to be more specific on the port-channel configuration?
What is the load balance method of 3750 port channel ( by source ip , or by source mac ) to diver traffic to paths? I have tried to use 10.242.104.101 and 10.242.104.102 as source ip, it will travel to the same link (G0/1) within one port channel (G0/1+G0/2). Howerver, if I later use 10.242.104.109, then this time it will traffic to G0/2 link. What's the concept behind.
Create a port channel out of interface 3 and 4 of ASAConfigure 2 sub-interfaces in those Po interface (my inside vlan and the dmz)At the 4948, configure a trunked port channel out of a single interface (funny ), then do the same in the second 4948Connect ASA port 3 to the 1st 4948's single-interfaced port channel, ASA port 4 connects the same on the 2nd 4948.
I need to increase the link capacity of 10GE to 20GE between two Cisco7609, so I feel the need to configure port channel between them, my little problem is that I have a SCE 8080 in the middle of both 7600 currently is configured inline. The SCE has 4 modules 1X10GE-L-V2 (currently in use 2), I was investigated and the truth is that I not found anything concrete about how to configure the SCE to "pass" etherchannel through it? What the SCE needs to support 20GE of traffic? (configuration and software)
Anyway, here's the situation I'm trying to configure several VLANs on my ASA to uniquely allocate to contexts, the VLANs will be trunked from my VSS. Unfortunately I'm not clear on how to achieve this, the configuration guide for 8.4 talks about multiple contexts and routed setups all which don't appear to apply exactly. I've configured the port channel at both ends and I've configured sub-interfaces on the port channel and assigned VLAN IDs. These sub-interfaces are then allocated to the contexts to set 'ip address' etc. I've not been able to successfully test this configuration and I am concerned that it is incorrect..
I have a customer that would like a 40Gb port-channel between two 3750-x switch stacks. When I try to activate four 10Gb ports in the channel, they go into error-disable. However, I am able to create a 20Gb port-channel without issue. I have had my configurations verified to Cisco best practice.
Is there a limitation on the amount of throughput that the 3750-x can handle? According to the data sheet the 3750X-48T can handle 101.2mpps, based on two 10Gb uplinks so if my math is correct then a stack of two 3750X-48T should be able to handle 202.4mpps.
I have 3750 core/distribution switches with routing enabled in two offices connected with copper link and L3 port channel interfaces. NewOffice#2 has moved about 5 miles farther away from office#1 and I have to deploy new core/distribution switch connect it to old core#2 via F.O and move all access switches with it. Old core will stay in old #2 offices as a bridge between office#1 and new office#2 Office#1core<->copper (Ethernet) <->oldoffice#2core<->f.o. <->new office#2core How I should configure port channels ports on oldoffice#2 core to act as bridge between office#1 core/dist and newoffice#2 core/dist without changing anything else (ip, etc) on whole network
