View 5 Replies View RelatedI need to setup a layer 2 network consisting of 14 switches interconnected in a ring. Obviously, the design of 14 switches in a ring network is dumb, not here to debate that. Unfortunately, it HAS to be a ring. I've been researching the best way to configure RSTP for this. From everything I've read all I really need to do is configure Primary/Secondary root bridge in the center, and change the Maximum Age field to at least 16 seconds? From what I've read you want a minimum of 3 second buffer + 1 second for each hop due to message age being added by each switch hop?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have an issue with a Cisco 3750 switch stack which is connected to two seperate upstream Cisco 3750's which are administered by an ISP. The ISP is experiencing MAC address flapping from one of my VLAN SVI's i am using to route traffic upstream
[code]...
As you can see I utilise a VLAN SVI to route traffic to the upstream 1.1.1.2 (illustration only) IP. As per the diagram of the topology attached, the ISP is receiving a MAC address flapping error confirming the SVI MAC address from my switch stack is being learnt on the trunk port connecting switch 1 and switch 2, and also the port (Gi1/0/48) directly connected to my switch stack. As these are all Layer 2 links essentially being passed upstream and then connected between the two ISP switches, we have a 3 way triangular loop formed.
If I was to remove the port channel configuration from the two ports associated with the VLAN SVI, am i right in suggesting this would still form a layer 2 loop? The two ports would still be a member of the SVI VLAN, and it is the VLAN MAC address which is being learnt by the two ISP switches on different interfaces.
So the SG300's have STP on them and prevent network loops when other switches on the network also support STP too. However, if someone plugs in a non-managed switch that doesn't support STP with a network loop, is there anything within the SG300 switches to isolate and/or prevent that from happening?
(I currently have port mirroring turned on for one port and a network sniffer attached awaiting the incident to happen again).
I have a bunch of 3750x switches that each have a 10 gig routed link back to a central 4507 (loopback = 172.30.255.255).We carved up a /24 (of course, the /24 doesn't really exist except in our address tracking spreadsheet) into a bunch of /30's for routed WAN links and /32's for loopback addresses.We started on the low end for /30 subnets (ie 172.30.255.0/30, 172.30.255.4/30, etc.).We started at the high end for the /32 loopbacks (ie 172.30.255.255/32, 172.30.255.254/32, etc.)
Well, when I try pinging 172.30.255.255 from the access layer 3750x switches, the 3750x seems to be treating it as a broadcast ping where it lists each member that responds instead of the regular !!!!! response (this makes think something is odd with the 3750x). Of course, only one member responds (the core). But even the core seems to respond with the other end of the /30 instead of the actual /32 loopback (which makes me think something is odd in the core). I could have sworn that I've setup similar topologies without problems (ie, using 10.0.0.0/32, 10.255.255.255/32, etc as loopbacks) and as long as the mask is a /32, it should work.Also, I can ping/ssh to that loopback if my laptop is on a directly connected subnet. But I can't do it from any of the 3750x switches (which are also directly connected).I've double checked for overlapping subnets, but nope. I don't see any. Routing looks fine. The actual /32 is being propagated everywhere properly.

Switch is running in layer 3 mode.How can I turn off mDNS broadcast coming from the vlan interface on the switch.Getting mDNS broadcast from switch every 5 seconds.
I have a 1 month old SG200-26P - the green status LED is blinking constantly (> 30 minutes), I cannot access the webGUI, nor is it responding to ping. I have tried resetting via holding reset for > 10 seconds with no effect, the status/activity LEDs are still illuminating against all connected ports, excluding any of the PoE ports which are running a couple of cisco IP phones. I've tried accessing the device via both the static IP I configured, and the default IP.
I have disconnected all ports, then powered on the device, but same results...Do I have a dead switch? Anything I can do other than return for warranty claim which is going to be last resort due holiday period and leaving the customer offline for extended period...

I live in an area where there are lots of wireless modems and since most broadcast on the default frequencies, here is often interference. I'd like to set my AC900 to broadcast on a fixed channel that is not often used, e.g. 2 or 3 or 8.

VLAN 100

interface gi1/1/1

From computer A, i had run command prompt and ping 192.168.2.100(computer B) and successfully get a response. I had repeated the step but ping to a broadcast address (192.168.255.255) and it was unsuccessful.
I require a system that will support 3 VLANs, the VLANs are purely for containment of broadcast traffic and needs to support inter-VLAN communication between client devices. Would the following configuration work:
Port based VLAN on the SRP527W with each port connected to layer 2 switches serving each VLAN.
DHCP server on the SRP527W assigning IP addresses for each of the V LANS in different ranges. (eg 10.10.1.xx, 10.10.2.xx, 10.10.3.xx). Would there be any benefit upgrading the Router to a SRP547W?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently bought an RVS4000, and unfortunately forget the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" rule, and flashed it to the latest firmware (2.0.2.7). Subsequent to doing that, it has been inconveniently dropping the connection to my ISP and completely locking itself up to a point where a manual reboot is required, usually about 4 hours after any outgoing activity (which usually means 11pm!).
Goggling my way round seems to suggest that this could be a firmware problem. The accepted wisdom is that I need to use the RVS4000 Upgrade Utility to get back to a lower version, so I have downloaded and installed V1.3 from the RVS4000 support area. However, though I think I followed the instructions (including trying setting the host PC to a fixed IP address, which was not supposed to be necessary), but I am consistently getting a "Broadcast Error" message, which I am guessing means that the utility and the RVS4000 aren't talking.
I would like to find out what the status is of the Cisco 7204 VXR and 7206 VXR routers?I understand they are EOLife and EOSale.Are they also EOSupport? we planning to upgrade 3 of them in our environment and management requires feedback around this.We thinking of going the ASR1000 route..

We are using the Cisco SG200-08P on a mobile cart that will go from class room to class room that will have computer and cisco Voip phone plugged into it. The issue is that each of our closets are in differnt VLANS ( 1 voice and 1 data....lets say data vlan 20 and voice vlan 2025 for conversation) and that we route to each closet.It would be great if I could just create a generic data and voice vlan to dynamically pick up what the upstream switch has however, it seems that I've been unsuccessful in doing so. I can pass the data Vlan no probablem. The upstream switch port is set to access port and a switch port access voice vlan (these are 3750x switches) If the above is not possible I guess I will take what I can get. Should I just create data vlan 20 and voice vlan2025 on the Cisco SG200-08P and make a trunk port on the Cisco SG200-08P and a trunk on the 3750x? Is there an option on the Cisco SG200-08P to tag voice traffic?I'm also concerned with VTP and I did not see an area in the Cisco SG200-08P to set that as a client and transparent mode.

One department has recently employed more people so we have an SG200 switch to connect the computers and phones to. I don't seem to be able to get any connectivity between the new switch and the SG300 it is connecting to. I have setup VLAN1 and 10 as per the images below:
I have a 7609 with two LAG groups (Etherchannel not LACP) going to two separate devices that DO NOT participate in spanning-tree (Occam gear if you must know). I'm running 802.1w across the LAG groups but the convergence time is terrible! In essence, the 7609 is running spanning tree against itself (between the two blades). What can I do to fix my configuration?
If I disable the ports on the equipment connected to g1/17 & g1/18, it takes ~30 seconds for spanning tree to start forwarding on g2/17 & g2/18.When I bring the ports back up on the other side of g1/17 & g1/18 which are in a lag group, g2/17 & g2/18 immediately go into block mode while g1/17 & g1/18 start learning for another ~30 seconds!!
