4500-X VSS with different chassis or port counts

Is it possible to run VSS on 2 4500-X switches of different port counts? For example a 24 port 4500-X and a 32 port 4500-X paired into a VSS cluster?

Yes.
See this excerpt from the following link:
Best-in-Class Resiliency
The Cisco Catalyst 4500-X Series is designed for excellent nonstop communications with non-interrupted hardware switching. With Cisco IOS XE Software, customers continue to reap the benefits of this best-in-class resiliency in various ways.
In addition to redundant power supplies and fans, the Cisco Catalyst 4500-X is Virtual Switching System (VSS).
Any two Cisco Catalyst 4500-X Series Switches can be pooled together into a VSS. The two switches are connected with 10 Gigabit Ethernet links called Virtual Switch Links (VSLs). Once a VSS is created, it acts as a single virtual Cisco Catalyst switch delivering the following benefits:

Is it possible to enable to VSS with 6500 chassis when only one chassis have the WISM ?

is it possible to enable to VSS with 6500 chassis when only one chassis have the WISM ?

thank you very much for the reply, that mean both the chassis no need to have the same modules installed on both the chassis .

CISCO VSS with different line cards in chassis

Dear Team,
We are planning to build VSS in our 6509 chassis with 2T SUP.
But my chassis line cards are diifferent. For example one chassis is having CISCO NAM service module and other one dont have NAM and one chassis is having 68XX series line cards and other one is having 67XX series line cards.
**Note: Both chassis are having same SUP 2T
Can we build VSS with this kind of scenarion? if it is possible any issues with VSS for this setup.
Kindly Advise.
Thanks & Regards,
Shine Salim

Yes you can form.
Q. How many Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switches can be part of a VSS?
A. The VSS1440 will allow up to two physical Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switches to operate as a VSS. The two physical chassis does not need to be identical in the type of modules installed or even type of chassis. For example, a WS-C6503-E chassis can be combined with a WS-C6513 chassis to form a VSS.

VSS with different X2 modules

Hi,
I need to build a VSS between 2xC6506E-SUP2T located in 2 different data centers.
The 2 DC are connected among each other by 2 different paths using single mode fibers:
- path 1 lower than 300m
- path 2 longer than 300m
Both the 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports of the 2 supervisors will be used to create the VSL between the two chassis.
For each SUP2T I'm going to use 1xX2-10GB-LRM for the shorter path. While for the longer path, I'm obliged to use 1xX2-10GB-LR for each SUP2T.
Could you please confirm that the VSL can be built without any problem between different X2 modules? Normally there shouldn't be any problem but I'm wondering if anyone of you already had such situation?
Moreover, do you confirm that VSL over a single mode fiber with X2-10GB-LRM module can go up to 300m?
Thanks and regards,
Vincenzo

Hi Reza,
Thanks for your reply.
The path for which I'm going to use the X2-10GB-LRM module is less than 300m and it's single-mode fiber.
According to Cisco 10GBASE X2 Modules doc (pdf attached): "The Cisco 10GBASE-LRM Module also supports link lengths of 300m on standard single-mode fiber (SMF,G.652)."
However in the VSS Q&A (http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/switches/catalyst-6500-virtual-switching-system-1440/prod_qas0900aecd806ed74b.html), the Maximum VSL Distance for the X2-10GB-LRM module is 220m over MMF (single mode not mentioned at all).
So basically I want to understand if, using single mode fiber with X2-10GB-LRM modules, the max VSL distance is effectively 300m.
Thanks and regards,
Vincenzo

HELP!! Authorization in the same laptop with different operation systems

My BF installed Win 7 operation system on his laptop yesterday and re-authorized it when he used iTunes. However, when he finished authorization, a dialog block showing that "*Including this one, you have authorised two computers out of your available 5*" appeared; what's worse, when he connected his iPhone to the laptop, it deleted all the bought apps in the iPhone, instead of synchronizating.
I also want to install Win 7 operation system, but I'm afraid that the same thing would happen again (to my iTouch).
We're quite confused that why the authorization in the same laptop with different operation systems is counted as two times. Friends who know please tell us whether this is the case.. If not, please tell us how to deal with it as we frequently re-install operation system for quicker operation.

How to use the same OC4j server with different port number

How to use the same OC4j server with different port numbers..?
I have to OC4J installed on my machine on different hard disk drives....
I want to be able to run both the server simultaneously..?
is it possible ..it yes then how..?
for that i have changed the port number of one server...
but when i am trying to start the other server with different port number..it says that JVM -Bind already...
Is there any clues...?
Nilesh G

In the config directory:
default-web-site.xml: Change the port the HTTP listener listens on
jms.xml: Change the port the JMS service listens on
rmi.xml: Change the port the ORMI listener listens on.
Or, you can add another web-site.xml file, and deploy your applications to 1 server, and bind the web applications to the different web sites. This way you only have to deploy your applications to 1 place.

Synching error with different USB port

I set up my iPhone and had no problems synching with iTunes. I then changed to a different USB port than the one I had originally used. I began to recieve the following error when I tryed to synch "0xE800001". I then switched to a different usb port and everything worked fine.
Is there any way to get iPhone to work with the new usb port because that is the only port that charges when my computer is off.

Check out article below for tips and suggestions
iPhone: Troubleshooting USB connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1286
Make sure you perform all Vista Software updates, also visit your PC manufacture website and download and install latest drivers for your PC hardware.
Also ensure you are not connecting via a USB Hub or using a USB extension cable.
If it only gives that error message in 1 USB port and not others. Try disconnecting any un-needed USB devices. Then connect back to that port and try syncing again.

It just forks a process or a thread, and that's it.And the listener is a single point of failure. Listener goes down, you can't connect to the db. That's why you need two listeners.If listener one goes down, then listener two goes down for exact same reason since it is a single executable file.I'm not playing tit-for-tat with you. Fact is, there are situations where people who are not you might want to use more than one listener.Some folks might want to jab a sharp pencil into their eye, too.
Just because you can do something, it does not necessarily mean it should be done.

VSS with SUP 2T

Dears
I have 2 no's 6509 chassis in VSS with sup2t and ASA-SM installed, as I know that the dataplane is active for both switches so the cisco says that I we will get the throughput of 4.0 tbps but the ASA-SM only supports 20 gbps, and all vlan interface are created on ASA-SM module so there all bottleneck happens, Customer is not ready to move any vlan interface to the 6509 MSFC by bypassing ASA-SM.
so how the ROI should be explained to the customer of SUP2T with ASA-SM if installed.
thanks

Dear Jon,
1) It's an ASA service module inside the 6500 chassis and not the ASA standalone appliance. All Network in the world will reach to a place where they have to push the traffic to firewall where definitely the speed will reduce from tbps to gbps and not every organization can place high end firewall with 10 GIG ports with better throughput, so from your reply what I understand is that VSS benefits only with an intervlan routing.
Bear in mind that if most of the traffic is routed to remote networks then your uplinks also become bottlenecks although you could probably get more uplink capacity than your ASA gives you.
how to get more uplink capacity ??
Of course there are obviously other benefits with VSS in terms of ease of configuration, redudancy etc. and it really comes down to your priorities.
can you list more.
2) I have read the SUP2t Datasheet saying per slot 80gbps I hope it is half duplex becz if I put 16 port 10 gig module the bandwidth will reach till 160 Gbps , please correct ???
3) I have attached 4 port 40 Gbps module datasheet, so what it says that with all ports sending traffic will reach to 160gbps per slot if a chassis populated with 40 gig module and all set to send traffic with full bandwidth than it only reaches to 1.7 tbps which is less than 2tbps.
4) I have another doubt that 6500 chassis backplane support only 40 gig so incase if the module is sending traffic with 160 gbps than how it handles.
Thanks

Catalyst 4500-X, VSS, and SVI

Hello, everybody!
I have a proyect to implement the feature VSS, with two catalyst 4500-X, it will be the layer Core/Distribution.
So, I want integrate in the catalyst 4500X, Inter vlan routing (SVI) and vtp domain, in the layer access, we´ll have SW 3750-X with PoE.
Is possible configure SVI in my catalyst 4500-X. to separate traffic across VLANs. and the routing will be in the 4500X too. ???
My customer does not have sufficient space to mount the serie 4500E in the Rack, so he prefer the 4500-X.
Help me!
Thanks!
Regards

Hi,
Is possible configure SVI in my catalyst 4500-X. to separate traffic across VLANs. and the routing will be in the 4500X too. ???
Yes, there is no different between a VSS pair and non-VSS when it comes to SVI and inter-vlan routing. It works the same way as if the 4500-X ware separate.

4500-X VSS and Dual-Active detection PAgP, using 2960-X access stacks

Hi.
I think this may have been asked before but its not clear to me.
I have 2 4500-X configured as a VSS pair, so a VSL link of 2 x 10Gig between them.
I have a number of Access stacks, built from 2600-X's
I have tried to configure dual active detection, which from what I read it is to use ePAgP or Dual-Active Fast hello Packets.
I do not have any additional SFP's to connect the 4500's together using Fast Hello, so ePAgP appears my only option
When I try and configure the access stack with an Etherchannel across 2 switches using PAgP I get the error -
command rejected by the 2960-x stack
%With PAgP enabled, all ports in the Channel should belong to the same switch
Command rejected (Port-channel11, Te1/0/1): Invalid etherchnl mode
From what I have read, PAgP cannot be configured across a stack, and people are recommending LACP as the method to configure the Etherchannnel, but How does that work with Dual-Active detection PAgP?
When I configuring Dual-Active detection PAgP, and made a couple of the MEC's trusted and configure using LACP active, then tried failing the VSL between the 4500's, each stack went into err disable on the trunk connections.
Question is! Does dual active detection PAgP work over an Etherchannel configured as LACP? or what's my options
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
Question is! Does dual active detection PAgP work over an Etherchannel configured as LACP? or what's my options
No, you can't use LACP for ePAGP detection. One option is to break one of the stacks in your access layer and use the switch you want to use for dual active detection individually (not part of a stack) and uplink it to both 4500X switches. This way, you know that the single switch is used for ePAgP detection.

Dynamic CRM connect outlook Client with different domain

Hi Guys,
I had installed CRM 2011 in cloud with different domain.
If I use browser is working fine just that when i use Outlook client it show
15:24:16| Error| Exception : The request for security token could not be satisfied because authentication failed. at System.ServiceModel.Security.SecurityUtils.ThrowIfNegotiationFault(Message message, EndpointAddress target)
at System.ServiceModel.Security.SspiNegotiationTokenProvider.GetNextOutgoingMessageBody(Message incomingMessage, SspiNegotiationTokenProviderState sspiState)
I found that is because you must connect to the same domain.
any idea that i can use my Outlook client to connect to CRM 2011 without changing my domain?
Regards,
Kim

Yes - I've been scarred with this for many years :(
If it is just CAS 1 that is causing issues, then focus in on that. The support statement for Win 2008 R2 is that NLB is still a 3rd party component and support may ask for it to be disabled.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/278431
Does CAS1 and CAS2 have the same NICs (firmware as well), driver, teaming software, and teaming config?
I also want to ask what the network team did for configuring the switch ports on the servers? This will vary from vendor to vendor - did they do the same config on both?

Problem with distribution model receiver ports

Hi,
I am facing a problem with distribution model.
I am using Distribution model for material classification data. I am sending my classification data using CLFMAS message type to one of the receiver. Again another person also sending classification data to another receiver.
But both objects will run at different times.
Problem is for every run and every change it is creating 2 idocs instead of 1 idoc.
I am able to create an IDOC with my changes for classifications. But it is creating 2 idocu2019s instead of creating 1 idoc. Because of there is another distribution model with same message type with different receiver port has been configured. I.e. reason it is creating 2 idocu2019s and sending to both the revivers.
When I run my changes It needs to create 1 idoc and send to my receiver port. If another person run his job it needs to create another idoc.
So how will I filter distribution model based on receiver port? it needs to create only 1 IDOC ..

Hi kotesh,
A similar issue.
check if this will help.
Do the following:
Go to TOOLS>ALE Development>IDoc Type Development> WE81 and create a new message type and give it a different name - say ORDERS2. Use WE82 to link it to an IDoc Type - say ORDERS05. So now you will have two message types linked to the same IDoc type. Each message type can now be referred in different logical systems without any clashes.
Now you can use BD64 to build your model using message types ORDERS and ORDERS2 without getting the multiple recepient error message.
Then use WE20 to set up each partner profile using your defined output conditions in message control to trigger the creation of the IDoc. Now you will beable to send the same Idoc type to different recepients.

As a general rule, only one listener is required for a machine as long as all database versions are currently supported. (In other words one listener for Oracle7 and Oracle11g will not work.)
As a general rule, an old listener MAY not be able to handle the features of the newer database (such as transferring blobs was a limitation in Oracle8). Therefore use the newest listener to handle all the databases.
As a general rule, listeners can be considered independent of databases in a sense similar as ASM. Therefore it's not a bad idea to have a separate ORACLE_HOME specifically to install the listener. This is especially useful if you have multiple databases with differing service level agreements,
I'd want to see
1) the output of lsnrctl status
2) any console session stuff and copy/paste to be surrounded by preview tages as described in the FAQ (http://www.oracle.com/technology/forums/faq.html#q14)
