Catalyst 2960 and SGE500 switches

Hi,
Can we on the same network use Cisco Catalyst 2960 and Cisco SGE500 switches and share the same VLANs ?

Hi,
I didn't find VLAN support in key feautures of SGE500 but I'm sure it is there. For VLAN sharing you must configure trunk between switches. The number of VLAN must be the same (exluded some cases).
For sharing VLAN information (VLAN count, names etc) the switches must support VTP protocol, not sure that SGE500 support it. But VTP is not necessary for trunking between switches.

Private vlans and 2960 and 3560 switch

Hi, I have a 3560 switch that supports private vlans. There are few computers connected to it and private vlans work fine. Now I need to connect a 2960 switch to 3560 switch. 2960 seems to have no private vlan configuration options but it can be private vlan edge? What is private vlan edge? If I put the computers on 2960 to a vlan that is isolated vlan in 3560 will the computers be able to communicate with themselves in layer2 on 2960 switch?

Example: I have network 10.0.0.0/24. Networks primary vlan is 2001, isolated is 2002 and community is 2003. These settings are on 3560. So if I put computers on 2960 switch to vlan 2002 and make the ports protected ports they will act as isolated ports and they can't communicate with ports that are on isolated vlan 2002 on 3560???
Can I also use the community vlan on 2960? is this possible because vlans 2002 and 2003 would be on the same network???

RPS and Cisco Catalyst 2950 and 3550 switches

We are doing experiments with RPS and CC 2950 and 3550. When we unplug the main power, the RPS takes over and feeds the switch with power. But when we plug the main power back again, the switch contiues to take power from the RPS. How is the power reduncancy achieved with CC 2950 and/or 3550s?
Thanks in advance,
Dardan

You will need to press the active/standby button on the RPS for the internal power supply in the switch to take over. Note that this can cause the switch to reload and do it in your maintenance window if this switch is in production.

Cisco Catalyst 2960-X and Cisco Prime compatibility

Hello All,
I had review all the compatibility matrix of versions of Cisco Prime 1.2, 1.4 and 2.0, and just can't find the Cisco Catalyst 2960-X series as a listed device, which really surprises me.
Can you clear that out??
Thanks,

Troubleshooting Fiber Connection on a Catalyst 2960

I am trying to test my fiber connectivity on a Catalyst 2960 before I deploy it. So what I thought I would do is connect it to another switch in my office with a open port for the fiber connection. The other switch is a Catalyst 3560G. Here are the port configurations:
interface GigabitEthernet0/2
switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,100
switchport mode trunk
macro description cisco-switch
interface GigabitEthernet0/25
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,100
switchport mode trunk
The first one is the catalyst 2960 and the 3560G is the second.
When you show the interface for each of these it shows that it recognizes the media but the line protocal and the GigbitEthernet Port is down.
Any Ideas?

Sorry... a fiber optic cable with a connector on each end.
To aid in troubleshooting, many times we loopback the signal back to the originating device. An optical loopback is just connecting the transmit (Tx) to the receive (Rx).
The multimode SFP/GBIC transceiver you are using will allow you to directly connect the Transmit and Receive ports without damage to the unit. This should provide you with a green link LED.
If so, then you can reconnect your fibers and loopback (connect the two fibers together) at the far end of the fiber link (use an optical adapter) and see if you get a green LED.

Catalyst 2960 vs 3750

Long time reader here but first time poster. I am looking into upgrading our network switches soon and I'm trying to decide on a design now. Let me give some background information on the network.
Currently we have a Catalyst 5513 with a Supervisor II, ten 24 port 10/100 cards and a 12 port fiber card installed. There are also two 48 port Alcatel switches that are uplinked to the 5500 as well as six Catalyst 2900XLs (on the factory floor) uplinked to it via fiber. There are about 40 servers and 350clients in total in the building. All servers and most of the clients in the office are connected directly to the 5513. We will be consolidating buildings soon and plan on adding another 200 devices to the network (office and factory floor area).
I was thinking we should get two Catalyst 3750G-48TS and a 3750G-12S in a stack for the core switch. Then use Catalyst 2960-48TC-L switches uplinked to the 3570 stack for the access layer. Does this make more sense than directly connecting all the clients and servers directly to the 3570 stack? What would be the advantages/disadvantages of each setup besides cost?
Thanks for any help you can provide!

I tend to go with a more modular approach and hang nothing off my core except otehr switches. Put your servers on their own switches as well. There are a few reason i do it this way.
The first is I run two cores for redunacy. by giving servers their own access layer switch, i can isolate them from a core failure.
Second, ports on a core switch tend to be more expensive. I know I'm going to be adding servers in the next few years. Its cheaper for me to buy more 3560's then more blades for a 6500.
Third, modularity. I can make more changes to either the core, or edge switches and not effect the other. Say you find out down the road, that the 3750 stack isnt quite moving the number of packets you need. If you plug end users and servers into your core now, just picture how much of a bear it will be to replace the core. Always try to go the route that will give you maximum flexibility and growth.

2960s and 2960X stacking

Gents we have used couple of 3750G in past and rule of thumb was that IOS and model should be same inorder to stack them
Is it different for 2960 series swicthes
We have 2 WS-C2960X-48FPS-L and one 2960S swicth can we stack them will it work ??? what about the IOS??? i know the with X its stack-plus (which is faster) but mu question is unlike 3750G will they can be stackable with different IOS???

All the possibilities and restrictions are very good explained in the 2960-X-FAQ:

Catalyst 2960 for my LAN WS-c2960-48TC-S vs WS-c2960-48TC-L

Hello
I want buy a Catalyst 2960 but i don't now which is great for my situation.
Model : WS-c2960-48TC-S (LAN Lite - 400 euro) vs WS-c2960-48TC-L (LAN Base - 900 euro) the difference of price is half.
I need 3 VLAN (2 VLANs with data and other VLAN (3th only voice).All security options want applied on ports.(MAC,ACCESS..etc)
Between switch and router will be a TRUNK channel...
The network design parts: lan printers - 4, desktop - 16, phone IP - 10.
I have only ISP .
So..what i need? LAN Lite or LAN Base
Another question: In LAN Lite i have all commands?
thank's

Q. What are the advantages of Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series Switches with the LAN Base software relative to Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series Switches with the LAN Lite software?
A. Cisco Catalyst 2960 LAN Base switches deliver intelligent services for branch offices and wiring closets. The LAN Base IOS software supports enhanced Layer 2+ security, quality of service (QoS), availability, and scalable management to enable new converged applications. Catalyst 2960 LAN Base switches include both 10/100 Fast Ethernet and 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity in 8-, 24-, and 48-port configurations.
Cisco Catalyst 2960 LAN Lite switches are for entry-level branch office and wiring closet networks. They simplify the migration from nonintelligent hubs and unmanaged switches to a fully scalable and reliable network. The LAN Lite IOS software supports standard Layer 2 security, QoS, and availability while lowering the network total cost of ownership. Catalyst 2960 LAN Lite switches deliver 10/100 Fast Ethernet connectivity in 24- and 48-port configurations.
All Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series Switches have technical support service options available through Cisco SMARTNet ® service. All come with a Limited Lifetime Hardware Warranty, and LAN Base and LAN Lite software updates are provided at no additional cost.
Information came from the below link:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/switches/catalyst-2960-series-switches/prod_qas0900aecd80322c37.html
Will all commands be available? No...if they were then what would be the point of having different software levels? Will the switch meet all basic to intermediate needs? Yes. If you are looking for a set of specific commands to see if they are available then check out the command reference tools available from Cisco.

Trunking ESW 500 and Catalyst 2960 possible?

While I'm familiar with the Catalyst line of switches, I have not worked on the ESW models. I'm looking for anyone that has done this successfully. Can the native vlan be changed on both sides, is it possible to limit the vlans allowed across the trunk on the ESW, and are they configurable via CLI?
Thanks.

I have done it with UC500s, 2960s, and 3560e, but not with a 3750 . On the Catalyst, you can watch the console for messages related to native vlans, dynamic protocols, etc ... the ESWs only support standardized protocols; with the exception of supporting CDP for voice vlans and poe power assignments.
By having the console open on the 3750 and configuring the ESWs, you will be able to ensure it works.
A concern I might mention is related to management, each ESW is single managed. W/ Catalyst you have much greater enterprise management, 'nerd knobs', debugging, network operation / protocol visibility, QOS queue visibility, etc...
Also, if doing a lot of etherchannel the configs on the ESWs get fairly 'cluegy'... so to be so vague, but the best switches for large deployments are Catalyst (as you know ;-)). The ESWs can fit, but are really designed for ease of use in a small network. Just keep a console open on the Cisco and you will have no problems.
Does this make sense? HTH,

Catalyst 2960-x Tel 1 and g49, bug

Hi Cisco Community
I am experiencing a very strang bug or it's just a "feature". We are setting up 3 Catalyst 2960-x (EX5) as a stack. Te 1/0/1 and Te 2/0/1 are bundled as Etherchannel. (works fine "In-channel-group")
But we just can not connect anything else to Te 1/0/2 or Te 2/0/2.
When i checked the "sh run" i noticed that there are the Ports g49 and g50. What should be Te 1 and Te 2.

Are switches Catalyst 2960S series supported in LMS 2.6?

Hello,
I have a CiscoWorks LMS 2.6 and i would like to know if the new Switches Catalyst 2960-S Series are supported with this LMS version?

Catalyst 4900M and Catalyst 2960S-48FPS-L interconnection

I have Catalyst 4900M as distribution level and several Catalyst 2960S-48FPS-L as access devices.
I am going to use "WS-X4908-10GE 8 Port 10 Gigabit Module Switch"
With CVR-X2-SFP10G converter module I can get 10Gig on optical ports from Catalyst 4900M side, but Catalyst 2960S-48FPS-L support only 1 Gig optical standard on their SFP ports. Will it work (optical 10Gig<->1Gig) or any other suggestions?

You've got an X2 port, don't you? If you do, then why don't you purchase a TwinGig converter.
The Cisco TwinGig Converter Module (below) converts a single 10 Gigabit Ethernet X2 interface into two Gigabit Ethernet port slots that can be populated with SFP optics, enabling customers to use Gigabit Ethernet SFPs on the same card in combination with 10 Gigabit Ethernet X2 optics.

Catalyst 2960S switch stack support?

I have a customer with a new stack of four Catalyst 2960S switches.
Is this configuration supported by Onplus?
I can't seem to figure out the login access and enable access credentials
so that Onplus can backup the configuration of the stack.
Jeff Bright
Bright Systems
Broken Arrow, OK

I also have a 2960S stack in my office. I checked my handy OnPlus iPhone App and it shows backup, restore, and firmware all equal 1 which I recall correctly means backup is supported. I'll double check when I get into the office to ensure backups are actually working.
