Catalyst 2950 bandwidth limitation

Hello,
please, can anyone tell me if it is possible to limit bandwidth on Catalyst 2950 switch on per VLAN basis.
Thanks in advance.
Maxime Frolov

Hello Amit,
I'll try to clarify my problem. I have a 2950 (Standard Image) with a giga uplink to a 6500. On the 2950 I have a VLAN composed of 4 ports. I' like to limit the use of the uplink link of this VLAN or at least of one port to 20%. Would it be possible on 2950 SI or I'll have to upgrade to EI whitch implyes hardware changes ? Or it just impossible on 2950 and I'll have to migrate to 3750 ?
Regards.

  • 2950 or 2060 bandwidth limiting egress and ingress per port

    I am providing an MTU bandwidth and needing a switch that I can set bandwidth limits for each customer. Each customer will have their own port on the switch. Will the Enhanced image 2950 or 2960 limit on egress as well?

    Neither switch supports egress policers. Ingress policers can be configured on the 2960 & the 2950 as long as you have the EI-capable hardware. This is the same for the newer switches - 2960, 2970, 3560 & 3750. The 3550 does allowed egress policers but this is EOS now I think?

  • Cisco Catalyst 2950/2960/3750 Multicast Traffic Preference

    Hello all,
    we, as a student company act as an ISP for university dormitories. We would like to (if it's possible) deploy QoS to prefer multicast traffic over all other types of traffic. 
    Devices used in network:
    Acces layer: Cisco Catalyst 2950,  12.1(22)EA14
    Dristribution layer: Cisco Catalyst 2960G, 12.2(58)SE1 
    Core layer: Cisco Catalyst 3750G, 12.2(52)SE
    Do you see any possibility to solve this with these devices? We have almost no experience with QoS, therefore any help would be greatly appreciated. 
    Thanks in advance.

    Hmm, I think it should be doable although the 2950s, if non-E variants, are especially weak in QoS features.  I.e. those might create some issues.
    With the 2960G and 3750G, you often will create problems when you enable QoS because QoS, by default, allocates its buffers resources for 4 egress queues per port rather than using all for 1 egress queue per port.  However, this can be countered by QoS parameter tuning, but that takes some QoS expertize to match to your traffic and your overall QoS policy.

  • CATALYST 2950 SERIES - CLEAR OPT TABLE & DISABLE CASH

    I have 2 cisco switches model - catalyst 2950 series, i recently had an network issue regarding an ip conflict with one of my member servers, after being on the phone with microsoft support for 6 days, we were able to resolve the problem by locating the correct mac address and clearing the "OPT table on the switches" by unplugging and replugging the power cord. In order to prevent this from happening again, Microsoft had asked me to contact cisco and ask the following questions, " Are these swiches managable via the gui?  and we also need to make sure that the "Arp Cash is disabled on the switches" can anyone help in this matter?  Thanks in advance.

  • Cisco ISE and Catalyst 2950

    Hello!
    Please, could you help me? Is it possible to install ISE on Catalyst 2950? In Component Compatibility Guide
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/ise/1.0.4/compatibility/ise104_sdt.html
    Catalyst 2950 only support 802.1X and VLAN.
    At first I need to know about VLAN change(from resticted to corporate). Is Catalyst 2950 support it?
    Thaks for help!

    this would let both user and machine authenticate. for"5434Endpoint conducted several failed authentications of the same scenario" check  Suppress Anomalous Clients option.  This issue comes in to picture when endpoint attempts a couple of failed authentications and if Suppress Anomalous Clients option with Reject Requests After Detection is enabled then  ISE Policy nodes protect themselves from overwhelming numbers of authentication requests by sending an immediate reject for suppressed clients as opposed to processing all the steps in a normal authentication. So if that user did some authentication failure, he will be locked for 1 hours (bydefault).

  • Why there is a bandwidth limitations in serial ports

    hi all
    why there is a bandwidth limitations in serial ports ??
    like the highest one is 45 mbps
    but Ethernet ports reach 100 GB !!
    thanks,

    Dear,
    each standard has its own specification about media, connectors and protocols. Depending on the type of media and technologies that ware available when the standard has been defined, a maximum speed has also been defined.  The speed depends on the specific media (copper or optical, twisted pair or coax, cat 5 or cat 6), electrical signals (volts, waveform, clock), distance  between device,.... each protocol defines a maximum speed.  It's true that ethernet protocols have a very high speed but over a copper line they are also limited to 100 meters while other serial protocols, xDSL for example, can transmit up to 20Mbps over copper line over a distance of some kilometre. So speed reduction is often a way to have longer connections.
    Bye,

  • Bandwidth limiting with 2504 WLR and 3602E AP

    Hello,
    My QA team needs to test number of special connectivity scenarios where their wireless connection has a limited bandwidth.
    Ideally, I would like to provide them number of SSIDs each of which has different bandwidth limitation.
    But so far I did not find a way to apply any bandwidth limitations to my 2504 Wireless controller and the 3602E AP.
    QoS has only 4 pre-defined modes which can't be set to a specific limit...
    Any help/advise would be highly appreciated!
    Thank you,
    Mark.

    Didnt realize this was not on the 5508, +5 Scott.
    I guess the next best option is to ACL/QOS on the wired side for that subnet in question.

  • Help with Catalyst 2950 G

    Hi,
    I have a doubt about the Catalyst 2950 series, i need to pass both IP and OSI traffic trought a 2950 switch. Is it supported?

    The 2950 is a layer2 switch. Anything carried over ethernet will go, no matter which layer3 protocol is used.

  • Catalyst 2950 Switch flash_init error

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm new to Cisco products and have a small home lab set up. I have a Catalyst 2950 switch that I would like to restore to factory defaults. Here is the issue I'm having and can't figure out.
    I pull the power, telnet into the console port, hold the mode button and restore power. The boot loader (Version 12.1(11r) starts and says the usual message the system was interrupted prior to flash initialization (Paraphrasing here)
    I get to the switch: command line, enter flash_init. Flash states it initialized and then all I get is a < with an underscore under it prompt. Anything I try to type comes up as bizarre characters and I can not get back to a switch: prompt unless I reboot the switch manually. Unsure of what to do here.
    Thanks in advance!

    Check the workaround on the following documents:

    If no luck , the flash might be corrupted and requires a replacement.

  • "bufferbloat", Airport Extreme, and bandwidth limiting?

    I have a somewhat complex network setup at home.  I have a Cable connection with 20Mbps down, 2 Mbps up, my own Motorola SB6141 cable modem upstream.  Plugged into that, I have a recent model Airport Extreme (802.11ac), and an older Airport Extreme set up with a roaming network.  The primary clients are recent vintage macbooks, iOS devices, with a smattering of other connected devices (DVR, windows, Synology NAS, etc.
    The problem that I'm running into is that network connectivity has lots of issues  if I run a large upload that saturates the outbound connection, e.g. with Dropbox or another online backup tool like Arq.  When that happens, inbound traffic gets super spotty, and things like Netflix become unusable.  peer-to-peer within the network continues to work fine.
    As near as I can tell, these are the classic symptoms of "bufferbloat" and from what I've read, the solution to the problem would be to introduce an outbound bandwidth limit (say at 1.98 Mbps) at the first outbound bottleneck, in this case, at the Airport Extreme (ac) connected to the cable modem.
    Is there any way to do this?  I couldn't find any kind of bandwidth limitation mechanism in the Airport Utility.

    Is there any way to do this?
    Sorry, but no. The AirPorts are all very simple, bare bones routers with a minimum of functionality.

  • 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.

  • POST error Catalyst 2950

    I have a Catalyst 2950 series 12 prt. switch. When the switch is booting I receive the following error: "00:00:13: POST: Packet DA mismatch on port: 9"
    What does this message means? Can I still use this port?
    Kind regards,

    This is part of the power on self test(POST).
    The switch sets the interface to loopback and sends
    a packet. If anything is wrong or changed with
    the packet then you get an error. In this case
    the DA (destination address) was changed on
    the received packet. I assume since this is a
    switch they are referring to the layer2 address.
    I would think this would indicate a possible hardware
    failure.

  • IP Accounting on catalyst 2950

    Hi all,
    Is there a way to find out traffic information from source IP to destination IP, like ip accounting used on routers, on the catalyst 2950 switch. My switch has the standard image.
    Also what performance impact would it have on the switch, if possible to implement.
    Thanks,
    George

    Hi dukenukem,
    no there is no way of interpreting flow information that way on a c2950. A c2950 is a L2 Device. Normally it doesn't really care about ip adresses.
