View 7 RepliesWe have 3 SG500-52 switches that are stacked and configured for layer 3 that replaced a couple of SG2010 switches a month ago. Switch units 1 and 2 are for servers and unit 3 for the workstations. The switches are connected with stacking SFP+ copper cables, 1 1M and 2 7M cables. The problems are occurring between the workstations and servers resulting in slow traffic on some links and connection failures. A repeatable failure occurs doing a backup from a PC on unit 3 to a server on unit 1 and 2 (2 port LAG). Moving the workstation to a port on unit 1 results in successful backups every time.
Initially I was able to confirm packet loss between my PC (on unit 3) and the servers using ping (ping -f -c 100000 -s 1460) of about .1%. The iperf program in udp mode also showed some packet loss and in tcp mode showed slow connections. A week ago I then upgraded the switches from v1.2.0.97 to v1.2.7.76 and rebooted. After that the ping and iperf tests show no problems although there are still slow connections to samba shares and the backups still consistently fail.
I suspect there is a problem with the stacking connections and have searched for traffic statistics on the stacking ports to look for errors but have not found anything. Doing a snmpwalk didn't reveal anything that I recognized. There are interface counters for all the ports except the stacking ports.
We've have a 2 SGE2010-48 port, stacked. 4 LAGS are denifed, two on primary, whitch are working, two on slave unit are NOT working. Devices connected to LAGS are de the same and same configuration (Cisco ASA 5510).

My question is do we need to pay for a license for each member in the stack or does one IPServices license upgrade cover the whole stack?

I am about to buy 2x Series 500 switches but before that I have a design to be sure :I want to create a redondant network so it is the reason why I want to stack 2x Series 500 switches.Each server on my network (ESX and Windows 2008) are connected with two NIC (one port on the first switch , one port on the second switch), with trunk mode + etherchannel for LACP.
First question : I saw that the limitation is up to 8 etherchanel groups, can I have a mix of multiple servers on the same etherchannel group or should I create one etherchanel group for one server with only the two NIC inside?
Second question:I want to use the series 500 to do intervlan routing and want to be sure that if the the ports are in trunk mode with some vlan set on the card itself that the default gateway for the vlan will be propagated on the two switches (in stack mode) and will not cause any issues when both switchs works fine and if one switch crashes?
How many Switches can be stacked with WS-C2960S-48FPD-L at a max..
As per my Knowledge it is 4 and as below..
Switch 1 to Switch 2
Switch 2 to Switch 3
Switch 3 to Switch 4
Switch 4 to Switch 1
If yes then, is it mandatory to do the "Switch 4 to Switch 1" stack. why am I asking this is because this stack requires a long cable and the cable which comes with the Switch is only 0.5M.
My company is beginning to have a lot of sites were we are stacking 3 to 4 C2960S-48 switche.This is making "show running-config" very very long because of the 4 x 48 interfaces.I can’t find a CLI command that show me the running-config of a ranges of interfaces. If I for example would like to see running-config for switch 3 (interfaces 3/0/1-52)The Show Running-config will show all the interfaces (for the two first swtiche = 104 interfaces), which take a time before I reach to switch 3.I miss a CLI command like: show Running-config switch 3, or module 3, or show running-config interface range x/x/x-x ?I’m well aware of the CLI command show running-config interface x/x/x, but this will only show me one interface.

Obviously this is a far from adequate set up and our aim is to isolate each office using VLAN's but share a common internet connection provided by the managed offices. We have two Cisco SGE2000-G5 layer 3 switches but we are new to Cisco equipment and VLAN's so we are not quite sure on how to implement this. DHCP would need to be provided by a Router, there is no Server. We are open to suggestions on the Router as we have yet to purchase one.
I have two 3750x stacked switches , both with the latest firmware on them. I enter the configuration onto one switch and it obviously copies over onto the other switch. Although in the configuration I have both a console username and password and an enable password, when I try to log onto the initial switch that I entered the configuration on, I am prompted for a username and password, which works fine, but when I try to enter enable mode i get an error stating that no password has been set. However when logging onto the other switch I am not prompted for a username or password but when I try to enter enable mode I am prompted for a password and can access it with no problems.

Each WLC is connected to the same stack of 3750G running 12.2(44)SE6 via Etherchannels.I'm getting tons of MAC flapping errors similar to this:9373213: Feb 19 10:53:54.564 CST: %SW_MATM-4-MACFLAP_NOTIF: Host 843a.4b3c.4cec in vlan 752 is flapping between port Po12 and port Po11Each portchannel consists of ports on each of the two switches in the 3750 stack. Only VLAN 752 shows the flapping activity. LAG is enabled on the each of the WLCs. The portchannel and interface configs are identical, minus the channel-group command of course.Maybe completely unrelated....looking at CDP neighbors from the switch is incorrect:
WLC1 Gig 2/0/44 157 H AIR-CT550 Gig 0/0/1

I have Cisco 5508 Wlan Controller and its having 6 Fiber Ports and I have AIR-LAP1131AG-E-K9 Access Point. Can this Access Point will work with this Lan Controller? Can i connect 3 switches to this wlan controller?
View 1 Replies View RelatedConfiguring HP switches for Flexconnect. I am not sure if or not its doable? Access Points are 2600 and 3600 with 5508 as a controller. Idea is to keep the branch traffic local but the switches are HP.

If i connect what will be configuration to work all these ports because only port 1 is working if i connect to switch remaining ports when i connect status showing is enable but not working.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm designing a hierarchical 3 layer campus network with different switch blocks .We need 10Giga Ethernet in the core to distributions and access layer , I was thinking about using a pair of catalyst 4509E in each block.after that I got interested in 4500Xs , in comparison with 4509Es they are much thinner and saves more room in rack space .I wanna use 4500X in my distribution layer .
The question is , as you know 4500Xs have 40 10Giga Ethernet ports , in some of my switch blocks I have more than 40 access switches (40 uplikns to distribution ) i wanna know how many of 4500Xs can i stack together ?
Im trying to stack 2 3750E-24PD-S and 2 3750X-12S-S. The 2 3750E finds eachother and stacks with one master as they should. The problem is that and the 3750X does the exact same thing instead of joining the 3750E stack.Both runs the same IOS (c3750e-ipbasek9-mz.122-58.SE2).The stackingcables are connected like following atm (I tried booting up the switches one at a time and all at once, no difference in the result).

When I try to enable ip sla responder on the stack I get:
%SYS-3-HARIKARI: Process IP SLAs Responder top-level routine exited
I have been able to find a bug in the toolkit. Should ip sla responder be supported on the stack as above?
I'm trying to see if I can use both ethernet ports on a 2811 to run hsrp for non-stacked dual switch fail over. Then link the the NM-32A ports to L0, so the remote access server trying to use them can use the l0 ip and failover much faster (it's programming is limited). This is on IOS 12.4(25)f, though we are moving to 15 soon.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI currently have a stack of 3750G switches with a cross stack etherchannel connected to a 3750E stack in the distribution layer.The 3750G stack is running 15.0-2SE IP Base. I began noticing the Mac flap issue when I was Re-enabling dot1x on the switchports. As first I thought dot1x maybe have contributed to this so I removed it from the stack temporarily.I am still seeing Mac flap logs usually when a machine reboots or re-connects back to the network. These are all wired desktops.I started looking at the etherchannel configuration which is using LACP. The 3750E stack looks fine with all ports in mode active. On the problematic 3750G stack I noticed 3 of the ports in the etherchannel set to mode active and 1 port set to mode passive. The port shows as bundled but I can't imagine this is ok.The only other difference on this one port is there is no mls qos commands like on the other 3 interfaces in the port channel.I mainly need to know what the Mac flapping is about. Whether it is a bug or related to the current etherchannel configuration.

Will I be able to utilize VPC through a bundled 2 or 4 x 10G (40G) connection (10 or 20G on 1 switch, and 10 or 20G on another switch) from the stacked HP E3800s to the N5548s? I know you can do that with Cisco 3750s.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe have two 3750-x stacked switches with IP base license. We need to upgrade them to IP services license. I read some where that it is possible to install IP serivces license to only management switch and no need to purchase/install same license to other switches on the stack. But, I could not find/recall where I read it and as far as I know it was not official cisco documentation.

General steps and what I might have to do configuration wise. I know i'm copy pasting the existing configs into the new switch, but are there any caveats?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have Prime 1.3, two WLC 5508 and 8 switches 2960s I try update my devices through Prime, but I can't.
When I start "Upgrade Analysis" and select switch (Catalyst WS-C2960S-24PS-L) and image (c2960s-universalk9-mz.150-2.SE2.bin) then click to "Run report"
Prime shows me that "Image not Applicable for this Device" I try different images, but it does not work.
And with WLC 5508 the same trouble. Why Prime can't do right analysis and updates devices?
I have to realize a connection between an 5508 WLC and 3750 switch using one SFP cable. I found on Cisco documentation some reference about two different SFP cables. The first one is CAB-SFP-50CM, but this is used to interconnect two 3560 switches. The second is SFP-H10GB-CU1M. This one has SFP+ transceivers on both ends which I don’t know if are compatible with the standard SFP ports that can be found both on WLC and switch.
My question is if I can use one of these cables in order to connect my devices, or if you know other one piece SFP cables.
I want to setup an home network with a wireless router and use multiple switches for wired connections through out my home. I currently have an Airport extreme hooked up to a cable modem and a leviton gateway hooked up to the Airport. The 2 computers connected to the Leviton are on a windows 7 homegroup and share fine, but won't share or discover any wireless device connected to Airport. My main goal is to have a wireless/wired network with all computers sharing information with each other. I want 2-3 wired switches/gateways with a min of 2 devices connected to each, connected to my wireless router whiich is connected to cable modem.

I have a WLC 5508, AIR-LAP1142N APs and a SSID for students to connect to who bring their own device. I am still testing this and it has not been rolled out but I am running into some serious issues with joining the network. I am authenticating them through a RADIUS server (2008 R2). Problem: many of them cannot connect because they are lacking the certificate.
1. What is a good setup for authentication in a BYOD environment
2. If my setup is good what can I do to allow kids to use their computers on the wireless either without the certificate (which I know is unlikely) or what do I need to have them do to connect. I am hoping it does not involve hard wiring and getting the certificate from the server.
have a Cisco 5508 controller (version 6.0.199.4) that when I enable global multicast mode it will work for an hour or two and then it will kill the network. All internet both wired and wireless, access to server everything dead. I then have to directly connect to the service port and disable the global multicast mode. Then two reasons for enabling it are Docs2Go and LanSchool both require multicast to be enabled. I have it enabled on our wired network and it works OK there. ted.

I have a WLC5508 with around 70 AP's (LAP1042N) connecting over an MPLS WAN network. WLC and AP's are running 7.4.100
From time to time I have an AP which disassociates from the WLC with the logging beneath. This is a problem with the AP, or is this due to network saturation between the AP and the WLC ?
And if so, should I change the default retransmit values ?
