6504E Aggregation Switch (VS-C6504E-S720-10G)

Hi,
I am in the process of understanding the 6504E in terms of technically feasible option as a Provider Class Aggregation Switch. (specifically looking at VS-C6504E-S720-10G, which is bundled option)
This 6504E switch will aggregate our Provider Edge (PE) routers and then connect to Core routers via uplink ports. Multiple PE routers (each via 1G port) would be aggregated to 6504E. The aggregation switch would then connect to core routers via 10G uplink port.
While short listing the aggregation switch, I come across VS-C6504E-S720-10G which has Catalyst Chassis + Fan Tray+Sup720-10G; IP Base ONLY; NO VSS. Though this looks a better choice for provider class switch .But, I am still not clear if this bundle option can support all the below requirements.
1. Multiple 1Gig/10Gig for Access/Uplink on aggregation - this is supported.
2. OIR feature for line card , modules, power supply - this is supported.
Not sure if VS-C6504E-S720-10G support all the below mandatory requirement
3. Traffic from PE will be MPLS labelled or non-MPLS labelled traffic so Aggregation Switch must have capable to look MPLS header ( i.e Lable, MPLS EXP bit) and IP header ( dscp, src SA, dst SA etc) when configured as Layer 2 port facing to PE - Not sure if VS-C6504E-S720-10G can support it.
4. Aggregation switch should support link aggregation for N*10G uplink to Core router with various load-balancing method like MPLS label based, src-IP, dst-IP, src-dst-IP, hashing of layer 3 and layer 4 info , L2 S-mac & d-mac etc - - Not sure if VS-C6504E-S720-10G can support it.
5. QOS on L2 switches for strict priority queue, WRR/SRR Queue to support policing and shaping with WRED with miinimum 8 egress queue per port.
6. QoS classification based on 802.1P, MPLS EXP, IP DSCP on layer 2 ports for MPLS and non MPLS traffic.
7. Multicast - IGMP V1/V2/V3, IGMP Snooping, PIM snooping.

Pradeep,
This is a loaded question. I would suggest you get in touch with the system engineer assigned to your company in order for him to run through all these requirements and validate that this piece of equipment meets them all.

Difference between WS-X6704-10GE or VS-S720-10G-3C 10G port

Hi All,
We have a presales case, where the partner is asking the difference between VS-S720-10G-3C and the WS-X6704-10GE linecard . He is asking from the perspective of the performance and features comparison.
I would appreciate any information that anyone would be able to provide. Thanks for the help in advance.
Awaiting your reply,

The following paper outlines deployment scenarios for the two cards if using them for Virtual Switch Links.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/switches/ps5718/ps9336/prod_white_paper0900aecd806ee2ed_ps2797_Products_White_Paper.html
Brief excerpt:
âVSL-capable interfaces are required to create a VSL port channel. The current modules that support the formation of a VSL port channel are the 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports on the Supervisor Engine 720-10G VSS (VS-S720-10G-3C/XL) and the Cisco 8-Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet Switching Module (WS-X6708-10G-3C/XL). (Refer to Figure 5.)
Figure 5. VSL-capable Modules
These interfaces contain new port ASICs that allow the VSH to be encapsulated on each frame forwarded out of the port and also support the ability to de-encapsulate VSH-tagged frames.â
It is a start...

What are the major differences between a Access Switch and Aggregation Switch w.r.t Carrier Ethernet domain?

In a Carrier Ethernet domain,Could someone please help me understand what's the basic difference between Access Switch and Aggregation Switch both in terms of s/w and h/w functionalities. MEF deals OAM,CFM, EVC provisioning only at the access edge switches. Do we need to repeat all these at the aggregation level? or is it just used for routing purpose? Do we have a separate Fault Management at the aggregation level?

Duplicate posts. :P

Design thoughts: Replacing a L2 aggregation switch

Hi,
I have purchased a 4507R switch to replace a 2924M-XL switch that acts as an aggregation switch in our network. Let me explain further what I plan to do.
I have 20 remote sites connected point to point via 100 Mbps dark fibre to the 2924M-XL. Most of the sites have only a handful of users but 5 of them are bigger (ie. 20-70 users). Some of the larger remote sites (small campuses really) have 2-5 switches in a star topology with the "hub" switch connecting back to the 2924M-XL. Each site has 1 or 2 user VLANs and a management VLAN. The 2924M-XL trunks all VLANs back to a 6513 at the core of our network.
I will be connecting the 4507R along 2 seperate dark fibre runs (for layer 1 redundancy) to 2 6513s in our core. This will give us fault-tolerence should our primary 6513 fail.
My problem is I'm struggling with the decision to go layer 2 or layer 3 between the 4507R and the 6513s. Layer 2 would be alot easier to implement and support (I'm the sole administrator of this rather large network) but then I'd have RSTP to deal with among the 2 6513s and 4507. I'm comfortable with RSTP since I run it between 2950G switches dual connected to the 6513s but my gut feeling is that I should be putting in layer 3 between the 6513s and the 4507.
We will be implementing VoIP is the next 2 years and I'm unsure how that affects my decision.
One last comment. Would layer 2 trunking of VLANs from the 4507 to the 6513s WITHOUT trunking these VLANs between the 6513s be a viable optionand would HSRP between the 2 6513s still work OK for layer 3 redundany? The remotes sites are setup with unique user VLANs but there is a special use VLAN that spans 4 of the sites and my manegement VLAN spans all the sites (I'm planning to change this).
Thanks everyone for your thought/opinions.
Ian.

Hi there Ian,
I'm a big fan of routing over switching, which I read is becoming Cisco's recommended way of doing things.
I would route between the 2 x 6513's and the 4507 as it will not only give you fault tolerance, but also load balancing, plus cutting down on broadcast domains and all those other nice things.
As far as configuration goes, onec you've got it up and running, then it'll just keep running. It seems like you will only need straight forward routing here and nothing too complex. Setting it up would be a simple affair.
VoIP, in my experience, is much better implemented over a routed network than a switched one. There are loads more things that you can do at layer 3 than you can at layer 2. Think about all the QoS that you'll be able to implement, with shaping and policing, etc. Much more security can be built in at layer 3 too. You'll get the likes of NBAR and all other features that you'll be able to (over time) tweak you network with.
As for performance, you'll never spot a difference. The 4507 will be lots faster than the 2924 and using cef, the 4507 will keep a forwarding table for ip's the same way a 2900 keeps a mac table.
You will not regret routing it.
Hope this helps - if so, please give it a rating.

Catalyst 6500 VS-S720-10G and VRF Capacity

Hi,
I have at the 6500 with vs-s720-10G. the datasheet say 1024 VRFs each populated with up to 700 routes/VRF for MPLS. MPLS in hardware to enable use of layer 3 VPNs and EoMPLS tunneling. Up to 1024 VRFs with a total of up to 256,000 routes per system.
I'am configurating 70 VRF with 883 routes with VRF-lite.
will it support this routes number ??
regards

With your VRF-lite deployment you described, are you planning to run any dynamic routing protocols, or are all the routes static? If you are using dynamic routing for these VRF lite instances, I would probably be worried about the number of IGP instances needed. However, maybe someone else has run a high number of VRF lite / IGP instances like that and could share their experiences.
Another concern with a 70 VRF deployment using VRF-Lite is the operational overhead, especially if you are running end-to-end VRF-lite. The Path Isolation Design Guide recommends as a rule of thumb no more than 10-15 VRF's when doing end to end VRF lite.

Hello Abubaker,
It crashed due to a parity error.
Imprecise Data Parity Error
Imprecise Data Parity Error
Which in other words means, a temporary error in memory. On single occurence adivice is to monitor the supervisor for re-occurence of such failure again. You can monitor it for 24 - 48 hours and if its a hard failure , the likelyhood of issue coming again is more and you need to replace supervisor. If it does not repeat you can consider this as a one time issue and contnue using it.
Hope this helps and please always rate useful posts.

Wan Aggregation switch

Hi All,
I'm trying to select the best switch to terminate a number of WAN connections in our data centre.
We currently have a mixture of 1Gbps point-to-point Ethernet circuits, MPLS circuits and private DSL circuits coming into our primary data centre. These are all currently terminating on our core switches and I want to move these to a dedicated layer.
All I need to support is full EIGRP and multicast routing. Advanced QoS capabilities are not a must at the moment.
I'm considering the Cisco 3750 Metro Ethernet switch but I was wondering if there are any newer or better devices that are suitable for this? Also I can only see the 3750 Metro with 10/100 Mbps port. Is it available with 1Gbps ports?
Any assistance is greatly appreciated

Thank you for the quick response.
I will checkout the ME3800X.
I have also just been looking at the 3750X and 3650 range switches as well. Will these work ok or any concerns for this type of role?

Please help

Hi Chien-Hsing Wu, I just ran into this post, sorry I couldn´t reply to your original one. Since I did not see an explanation on how to get 960 Mpps, I included one for you:
The 960 Mpps number you mentioned is calculated taking in account modules with one M1 forwarding engine, which is the case for modules such as N7K-M132XP-12, for example. Other modules use a M1 forwarding engine (some newer modules use even 2 forwarding engines).
The "M1" indicates the forwarding engine is M Series, first generation and is capable of delivering 60 Mpps of Layer 2 and 3 IPv4 unicast or 30 Mpps of IPv6 unicast for all ports on that module.
You can use up to 16 I/O Modules on the 7018, which brings the 16 (forwarding engines)* 60 (mpps if M1) = 960 Mpps.
Be aware that more recent modules use even dual M1-XL forwarding engines, delivering 120 Mpps L2 and 3 IPv4 unicast or 60 Mpps IPv6, and others use F1 forwarding engines, delivering 480 Mpps of distributed L2 unicast per module.
On the other hand, regarding the calculations you suggest with 230 Gbps, some documentation shows 7.8 Tbps as total switching capacity for the 7018. You get that number assuming you are using Fabric 1 modules, or Fabric modules from 1st generation. If this is the case, calculation is as follows:
     230 Gbps per slot for the I/O related slots
     115 Gbps for the supervisors
     (16 * 230) + (2 * 115) = 3910 Gbps, and taking in account full duplex transmission we multiply this by 2 and get the 7.8 Tbps.
As mentioned by Amit Singh, if we use Fabric 2 modules each slot could *potentially* use 550 Gbps (depending on the module), which is the total crossbar bandwidth available for each slot if your chassis is equiped with 5 Fabric 2 modules, as opposed to the 230 Gbps when the fabric modules are 1st generation modules.

Replace supervisor VS-S720-10G cisco 6509-E

Hi
I have a doubt, I have a switch core 6509-E with two supervisor. One of them has failed. So I requested for a RMA to change the part, but maybe this new supervisor is gonna have another IOS version, But I know that both supervisor has to have the same version to synch. in this case how can I load the version to the new supervisor without shut down the switch

the problem is that We dont have a memory card to copy the IOS. do you know another options?
Go to your nearest electronics shop and get one.
Take note:
Not all CF brand are supported. So it would be best to buy two or three different brands and return ones that didn't work.
Support size up to 4 Gbps.
Format the CF using the command "format disk0:" before copying anything into it.

3560E Switches and 10G uplink ports

Hi!
Thinking of 3560E switches with 2 X2 10G uplinks, I was wondering if I can use, at the same time, 1 uplink port @ 10G and the other one @ 1G, with the proper CVR-X2-SFP converter and SFP modules.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Martin.

Believe if you use a TwinGig converter in one of the module slots, you can connect one or two gig SFP links to it while the other module slot is 10 gig.

Hi friends,
I have a situation which looks straight forward but since I have not done this before, I thought I should put this here to have some ideas and gottchas related suggestions to look for.
Situation 1:
Basically I have a situation where there is an existing 6506 chassis with SUP32-GE-3B. for some business reasons we have to replace that with a 6509 chassis with SUP720-3B keeping the configuration intact.
Situation 2:
In another situation, we need to replace an existing standalone chassis 6509 with SUP-2T-10G with a pair of 6506 with SUP-2T-10G on each running VSS. Is there any gottachas around this work?
Also, while I was trying to boot the spare 6506 with SUP-2T card, it constantly went to monitor mode with the following error messages
System Bootstrap, Version 12.2(50r)SYS3, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

Any suggestions for this? It looks like the bootflash memory is missing from the SUP. I am not sure if this flash is usually onboard on this SUP or it should be like an external PCMCIA card.
Look forward for your help and suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

Hi SJ
The 16-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet module is interoperable with all models of the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Virtual Switching Supervisor Engine 720 with 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks or Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Supervisor Engine 720, including VS-S720-10G-3C, VS-S720-10G-3CXL, WS-Sup720, WS-Sup720-3B, and WS-Sup720-3BXL. When mixing DFCs in the same chassis, the chassis will operate in the mode of the lowest common denominator.

The IOS Version is 12.2(33)SXI4a on our VS-S720-10G 5 ports Supervisor Engine 720 10GE. We are running almost latest IOS. The switches are in production now. Any idea on what really causing this message to appear? How can I resolve this? If a software upgrade helps, then what is the best way to upgrade two VSS switches with in a short downtime?
Please assist,
Best regards,
