MPLS Configuration Problem- Catalyst 3750

We have a difficulty enabling the MPLS on this particular switch. We couldn't find the command for the MPLS to enable in the interface. Is there any command or substitute command to do this? The following information was taken from the switch.
Device details:
Cisco IOS Software, C3750 Software (C3750-IPSERVICES-M), Version 12.2(25)SEE2, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)
System image file is "flash:c3750-ipservices-mz.122-25.SEE2/c3750-ipservices-mz.122-25.SEE2.bin"
cisco WS-C3750-24P (PowerPC405) processor (revision K0) with 118784K/12280K bytes of memory.

If I understand I don't need to configure trunk in physical interface:
The correct configuration is:
interface Port-channel1
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode trunk
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/1
channel-group 1 mode active
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/2
channel-group 1 mode active

Configuring a Catalyst 3750

I want to configure a route between Port1 and Port2 and another route between Port3 and Port4 of the catalyst 3750. Is that possible and how can I do this?

Configure the ports to be layer 3 just like any other router. But, you might be better off creating SVI or interface vlan and assign the ports to accordingly to the SVI and just enable ip routing which should be enabled by default.

Catalyst (3750 24 10/100/1000T) and (3750 12 SFP) Stacking Problems

Dear all
I'm having a very strange situation here (at least for me)
we have 4 core switches
2 x   WS-C3750G-24T-S Catalyst 3750 24 10/100/1000T + IPB Image
and
2 x   WS-C3750G-12S-S Catalyst 3750 12 SFP + IPB Image
Stack configuration is done this way
when the switches are powered on, the first two SFP core switches are seen as a single stack with the stack master LED turned green on the first switch
the other two (24 10/100/1000T) switches have the RPS LEDs always green, mode cannot be changed, and cannot be accessed by Console connection
but when the (24 10/100/1000T) are powered off, the first (SFP) switch in the stack reports that " Switch 3 and 4 has been removed from Stack "
which means they are stacked but there's something wrong, because
only the SFP ports are shown in the " Show interfaces status " , the ethernet ports of the bottom switches are not present !!!
can you please tell me what's the poblem ?

Dear Daniel
Sorry for my delayed response but i was actually quite busy
but the problem was actually in another sense
the default profile for the Catalyst 3750 SFP is the Aggregate SDM Template
while the 3750 10/100/1000 ethernet Switch Default SDM profile was Desktop profile
so i had an SDM mismatch

Password problem on Catalyst 3750

Hi all,
I am an Unix administrator and we lost all account and password informations to connect on a Catalyst 3750 switch.
Is there a way to connect to the switch (With a serial cable?) an to create a new account without losing the configuration ?
Thank's for your reply.
Regards.

This method won't reset the configuration.
During the boot process, you rename the current configuration so it doesn't get loaded.
rename flash:config.text flash:config.old
When the switch boots, it loads a blank image. Then you rename the config file and load it into the running config and you can change the logon credentials to something you know.
It's important that you follow the steps exactly so you don't lose the configuration. Password recovery is a pretty common procedure.
The only other method of recovery is if you have a copy of the current running configuration. Send me a private message if you have this config and we can discuss the possibility.

Configuring dual-links on catalyst 3750

I've dual-links (laser and Fiber optic media) to connect my office and colocation. both of using catalyst 3750, there are also 4 VLAN. the problem are Fiber optic provider only allow 1 VLAN to connect my network to colocation, when the Laser drop, Fiber optic can't send traffic to colocation.
is there any clue for this problem...?
thanks,

Hey,
Please give the Show config output from both the switches. Would like to see the config on both the ends.

Trunking Catalyst 2950 to Catalyst 3750 problem

I cannot seem to figure out how to trunk a catalyst 3750 to a Catalyst 2950.
I've set
3750(config)#interface fastethernet 1/0/2
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
BUT my Catalyst 2950 does not offer the "switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q" command
My 2950 is running IOS version 12.1(20)EA1a
is there a work around for this situation. Our network still employs a bunch of these 2950's.

The Catalyst 2950 series can only do 802.1Q trunking. It's the default, and only, choice. So there's no need to specify it when trunking.
In fact, since you don't have a choice of which encapsulation to use, there's no need for a "switchport trunk encapsulation" command. Which is why it's missing from the Cat2950 switch IOS.
This took me by surprise too, when I first transitioned out of the 3500XL series into 2950 and 3550 switches.

Policer with IPv6 class-map on Catalyst 3750

Hi,
I've the following problem.
It's my goal to ratelimit incoming IPv6 traffic dependent on the destination IP address range.
On a Catalyst 3750 (Image: c3750-ipservicesk9-mz.122-55.SE1.bin) I've set up the configuration as follows:
mls qos
ipv6 access-list DESTINATION-RANGE-A
permit ipv6 any 2007::/16
ipv6 access-list DESTINATION-RANGE-B
permit ipv6 any 2B03::/16
class-map match-all A
match access-group name DESTINATION-RANGE-A
class-map match-all B
match access-group name DESTINATION-RANGE-B
policy-map RL-POLICY
class A
police 2000000 8000 exceed-action drop
class B
police 6000000 8000 exceed-action drop
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/7
switchport access vlan 90
load-interval 30
service-policy input RL-POLICY
The last CLI command which should bind the policy to the specific interface, leads to the following error message
QoS: class(A) IPv6 class not supported on interface GigabitEthernet1/0/7
Are hardware/software limitations the reason for this behavior or is there any misconfiguration?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Jens

If you are thinking of IPv6 prefix I tried everything. From /128 for single host to /64, nothing works.

Do Cisco router 2811 and Catalyst 3750 support SNMPv3?

Hi,
Do Cisco router 2811, IOS 12.4(20)Ti, and Catalyst 3750, IOS 12.2.(53)SE, support SNMPv3?
Attached file contains my SNMPv3 configurations and "show snmp" results. Would you please give me your advice? Thanks.
Hugh

Hugh
Certainly both the 2811 and the 3750 do support SNMPv3. So support for the feature is not an issue in your situation.
I have looked at the config that you attached and believe that it looks reasonable. You have not told us about the SNMP server that will communicate with these devices. So we have no way to know if the details of the configuration are correct.
Have you attempted to discover these devices with an SNMP server that is configured to use SNMPv3 and has this user and passwords configured? If it does not work my first suggestion would be to check to verify that the passwords configured are exactly the same on the clients and on the server (and perhaps re-configure the passwords just to be sure). If the passwords are not a problem my second suggestion would be to check and verify that the authentication and encryption parameters match between the server and the clients.

Mls qos on Catalyst 3750

I can't understand dropping algorithm used by WTD on Catalyst 3750.
Giving the following configuration:
Switch(config)# mls qos queue-set output 2 buffers 40 20 20 20
Switch(config)# mls qos queue-set output 2 threshold 2 40 60 100 200
1. What happens if buffer utilization for queue 2 is between drop-threshold1 and drop-threshold2? Are the packets dropped using a specific algorithm as in WRED?
2. What happens if buffer utilization for queue 2 is between drop-threshold2 and maximum threshold? Are the packets dropped using another algorithm?
3. Is it true that with buffer utilization above maximum threshold all packets are dropped?
Thanks
Stefano

Paresh,
thanks a lot for your suggestions!
Anyway I still have some doubt related to WTD thresholds. The sintax is the following:
mls qos queue-set output qset-id threshold queue-id drop-threshold1 drop-threshold2 reserved-threshold maximum-threshold
For drop-threshold1 and drop-threshold2 the range is 1 to 400 percent. For reserved-threshold the range is 1 to 100 percent.
By default, drop-threshold1 and drop-threshold2 for queues 1, 3, and 4 are set to 100
percent. Drop-threshold1 and drop-threshold2 for queue 2 are set to 50 percent. The reserved
thresholds for queues 1, 3, and 4 are set to 50 percent. The reserved
threshold for queue 2 is set to 100 percent. The maximum thresholds for
all queues are set to 400 percent.
With these default settings, queue 2 has drop-threshold1 and drop-threshold2 set to 50 percent and reserved threshold set to 100 percent.
The problem is that drop-thresolds are percentage values related to the ENTIRE buffer, reserved threshold is related to the specific queue's buffer.
So with default settings (1/4 of total buffer for each queue) reserved threshold seems to be HIGHER than drop-thresolds!!!
reserved threshold = 1/4 total buffer
drop thresholds = 50% over 400% total buffer = 1/8 total buffer
Maybe there's something missing...
Thanks
Stefano

Problem in 3750 with multiple IP segment in same VLAN

Hi,
I've problems in 3750 and would like to ask for help.
I've 3750 switch with standard image. Because of lacking IP addresses, I'm going to redesign the IP scheme. Before complete migrate to new IP range, I've to let new IP segment co-exist with old IP segment for a while (I've 3 VLANs that have same situation). For example, 10.10.13.0/24 (old) will co-exist with 10.10.32.0/21 (new) in same VLAN (let say VLAN 32).
Below is the partial configuration in 3750:
interface VLAN 32
ip address 10.10.13.2 255.255.255.0 secondary
ip address 10.10.32.2 255.255.248.0
standby 14 ip 10.10.13.3
standby 40 ip 10.10.32.3
I've two PCs. PC-A is 10.10.13.250 and PC-B is 10.10.33.250, both are using HSRP IP as default gateway (the subnet mask are correct).
My problem is:
Two PCs can not ping to each other. I can not ping to both PCs from 3750. But if I'm using physical IP as their gateway (such as 10.2.13.2 for PC-A and 10.2.32.2 for PC-B), then both PCs can be ping each others.
How can I solve the problems if I've to use HSRP IP as default gateway?

I don't get it. What is the significance of standby 1 and 2 VS standby 14 and 40? The only difference I noticed is the lower number of standby group goes with primry and higher goes with secondary.
If possible, can you also try the same config you used before except swapping the group number?
e.g.
interface VLAN 32
ip address 10.10.13.2 255.255.255.0 secondary
ip address 10.10.32.2 255.255.248.0
standby 40 ip 10.10.13.3
standby 14 ip 10.10.32.3

Debian Linux Bonding and Cisco Catalyst 3750 - best practise?

Hello everybody,
I would like to know what's best practice to do this:
The two NICs of a Debian Linux server wants to be connected with two Switchports of a Cisco Catalyst 3750 switch(stack). My goal is to have load-balancing and failover.
My /etc/network/interfaces looks like this:
iface bond0 inet static
       address 192.168.0.30
       netmask 255.255.255.0
       network 192.168.0.0
       broadcast 192.168.0.255
       gateway 192.168.0.1
       dns-nameservers 192.168.0.10 192.168.0.20
       dns-search xyz.mycompany.com
       slaves eth0 eth1
       bond_mode ???
       bond_miimon 100
       bond_downdelay 200
       bond-updelay 200
First question: What bond mode should I use?
The switchports looks like this:
interface GigabitEthernet3/0/4
switchport access vlan 20
switchport mode access
spanning-tree portfast
What changes are necessery here? Something like this?
interface GigabitEthernet3/0/4
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode trunk
spanning-tree portfast
Thanks a lot for suggestions, hints, etc.! :-)

Hi Michael,
thanks a lot for your answer - and sorry for my late reply!
I like to show you my solution - I hope that it is a solution. ;-)
My config on the switch(stack):
switch#show etherchannel summary

------+-------------+-----------+-----------------------------------------------
2      Po2(SU)         LACP      Gi3/0/3(P) Gi4/0/3(P)
switch#show running-config interface GigabitEthernet 3/0/3
Building configuration...
Current configuration : 172 bytes
interface GigabitEthernet3/0/3
description myserver, eth0
switchport access vlan 20
switchport mode access

end
lansw01#show running-config interface GigabitEthernet 4/0/3

spanning-tree portfast
end
switch#show running-config interface port-channel 2
Building configuration...
Current configuration : 82 bytes
interface Port-channel2
switchport access vlan 20
switchport mode access
end
The /etc/network/interfaces of my Debian machine looks like this:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto bond0
        iface bond0 inet static
        address 192.168.1.xxx
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        gateway 192.168.1.xxx
        dns-nameservers 192.168.1.xxx
        dns-search xxx.xxx.xxx
        bond-mode 4
        bond-miimon 100
        bond-downdelay 200
        bond-updelay 200
        bond-lacp-rate 1
        slaves eth0 eth1
This setup seems to work well. But I'm wondering that there is nothing with "trunking" in my setup. Would you like to give me your opinion about this?
Thanks a lot and many greets
Stephan

Interconnecting Catalyst 3750 and 2948G-L3

I am trying to interconnect a Catalyst 3750 and a 2948G-L3 using fiber GBIC. The interfaces where the GBIC and fiber are attached show up as physically down. I have tried different ports and also changed both switches. No Luck. If I connect a 3524 to the 3750 using the same connection it works.
Are 2948G-L3 switches compatible with the 3750?
Thanks,
VT

Should have no problem. Can you try the following on the 3750's gig interface:

Catalyst 3750 Ingress SPQ/SRR behavior

Do Cisco engineers review this community at all?
I am working on the latest version of QoS standard for our Enterprise and noticed the following conflicting information officially provided by Cisco.
My question relates to ingress/pre-ring Strict Priority Queue (SPQ) logic.
Cisco Catalyst 3750 QoS Configuration Examples document states that SPQ on ingress is configured and serviced as follows
mls qos srr-queue input priority-queue 2 bandwidth 10
mls qos srr-queue input bandwidth 90 10
SPQ services Q2 up to the configured 10% of ingress bandwidth
Any excessive traffic in Q2 is not dropped, but is serviced by SRR in accordance with the configured weights
For example, a momentary 5Gbps of aggregated ingress EF traffic will be serviced in the following way
SQP services 10% of total ring's bandwidth, or 3.2Gbp, leaving 1.8Gbps for SRR processing
SRR services excessive 1.8Gbps in accordance w/ weights Q1 - 90 and Q2 - 10, such as Q1 gets 25.92Gbps and Q2 get 2.88Gbps more.
The following pictures provides in-depth look into Ingress queuing logic.
Alternatively, Cisco Medianet Campus Design v4.0 provides the following example w/ comments
C3750-E(config)#mls qos srr-queue input priority-queue 2 bandwidth 30
! Q2 is enabled as a strict-priority ingress queue with 30% BW
C3750-E(config)#mls qos srr-queue input bandwidth 70 30
! Q1 is assigned 70% BW via SRR shared weights
! Q2 SRR shared weight is ignored (as it has been configured as a PQ)
Basically, they now say Q2 bandwidth weight is ignore because it is configured as Strict Priority Queue. Doesn't it look contradictory?
In my humble opinion Medianet (or SRND v4.0!!!) provides an incorrect information re ingress queuing on Catalyst 3750 platform.
I am not sure I can easily test it, providing that an internal ring must experience a congestion. I don't think I can send more than 32Gbps of traffic into any of my lab 3750 switches.
Also, I don't think this mistake can be critical in my environment as I don't expect to have momentary full capacity load on those... but it can be critical for others.
Much appreciate
Tim

System FCS error frames on Catalyst 3750

Please,
may someone explain what are the "System FCS error frames" I see with "show controllers ethernet-controller" on some ports of a Catalyst (on trunk and also on access ports) WS-C3750G-24TS-S (3 switches in stackwyse)?
Error counters advance slowly, but they do grow... and I am afraid this could be the reason for variable slow access time to a server application menu...
For example "8 System FCS error frames".
The ports are connected to a PIX-515E and I see the same error count on the firewall interfaces (PIX "show interface" command shows me "8 input errors, 8 CRC, 0 frame, 0 overrun, 8 ignored, 0 abort")
A few errors may be seen also on other ports, connected to other (C3550)switches.
I tried to upgrade the IOS version, so I loaded "ipbase 12.2(25)SEB4 " on the Catalyst 3750, but it did not solve the problem.
PIX firewalls are running software 6.3(4).
Why these errors are called "System FCS error frames" ? I could not find anything searching on Cisco CCO!
Thanks

I apologies for the delay answering, my notebook has been down for 5 days and also cco access password...
Thank you for the explanation and suggestion.
We have a second rack with another three switch 4750 in stackwyse, same models as the "faulty" ones, and the errors are not present on those switches, so it must be something hardware related on the first group of switches.
I cannot touch those devices at the moment, we captured traffic frames with 3 Notebook PCs running "Ethereral" lan sniffer, traffic to and from the server and two clients and we discovered that in different ports of those switches, some packets never reach the clients, causing many TCP retransmissions, especially witch continuous traffic (http get and ftp transfers). This problem is visible on some, but not all, of the catalsyt 3750 switches in stackwyse, but in every one of the three switches. We are planning to go on-site and replace the hopefully faulty one ( or reseat the cables as you suggested).
Is this a problem you have seen before?

Franco Feri
