Catalyst 2960 Plus Series SI stack problems with a SMC8024L2

Hi,
I am trying to stack a SMC8024L2 with CISCO 2960. Reading forum topics seems that additional commands are needed for the CISCO... Would someone know what needs to be performed?
Actual symptoms are that SMC looses its IP after several minutes connected. Once that is reseted to fabric values and reprogrammed, it works fine for several minutes, but suddenly is not reachable by web, AND it is not foundable by Nettools.
Configuration:
CISCOROUTER/SONICWALL/CISCOSWITCH-SMCSWITCH
Thanks in advance...!

Well it probably wouldn't be confusing if I could find a clear set of ground rules. The documentation mentions "FlexStack protocol", but the discussions seem to indicate that this is a control plane protocol. Do the stacking modules operate as ethernet bridges when making forwarding decisions like any other switch port? If the answer is yes then at least I understand the principal of operation. But now if you throw multi-chassis etherchannel uplinks into the mix divining general layer 2 paths becomes a little murky.
Although now that I look at it, using this cabling has an advantage over a straight ring topology. Once a frame hits the stack it is never more than 2 hops away from it's destination. With daisy-chained switches it could be up to 4 hops. This is of course assuming standard 802.1d-like forwarding. This may be an invalid assumption. I don't see any way to get spanning tree info for the stack ports.
(EDIT: standard ring topology would also have a maximum of 2 hops to any switch, not 4)

Canon 860 Series (Pixma) Printer Problems with OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) – links to Canon Support Site with Drivers and Software with install tips

After spending several hours sorting out Canon Pixma OSX problems here are my thoughts:
Canon 860 Series (Pixma 868) Printer Problems with OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) – links to Canon Support Site with Drivers and Software with install tips
Problem:
- New imac and MacBook Pro 2012 (OSX 10.8.2) had a problem using Canon Pixma 868 printer on network and would not scan or print using Canon Pixma software (Pixma MP Navigator 2.1 & Photo Print), which has advanced scanning and photo printing functions.
- When I connected the canon printer to my imac, OSX 10.8.2 automatically downloaded and installed drivers for Canon 860 series printer. I could then add the new printer (select ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”) and printer would work while connected via USB but could not get to print or scan over network wifi.
- The original Canon 860 Series CD does not work with 10.8 and the manual / online instructions did not make sense (as based on CD install).
Solution:
1) Install Canon Printer Drivers and Software (from official Canon site)
Go to canon support site, review FAQ, then download and install following Pixma 860 Series software & drivers for OSX 10.8 (links see below). The version I downloaded is in brackets but check for updated version. Full instructions are below.
Canon 860 Series Drivers & Software for OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion:
The base software and drivers needed for using Canon 860 Series on Mac OS X 10.8 (USB) are
1 Printer Driver
(Canon MX860 series CUPS Printer Driver Ver. 10.67.1.0 (03-Aug-2012))
2 Scanner Driver
(Canon MX860 series Scanner Driver Ver. 14.11.4a (03-Aug-2012))
3 Network Tool
(Canon IJ Network Tool Ver. 4.1.0 for Intel Mac (27-Dec-2012)
Canon Software for using advanced printing and scanning functions (while connected to network)
4 Solution Menu
(Canon Solution Menu Ver. 1.4.1 (27-Jul-2012 ))
5 MP Navigator EX
(Canon MP Nav EX Ver. 2.1.3 (02-Auf-2012))

Downloads or FAQ
If you have problems installing the software under 10.8, see the FAQ on Canon site. You will need to allow software installs from “unidentified developers by using “Control” Key or by changing your system preferences)
2) Check Canon Printer and Software Working while connected via USB
Once you have downloaded and installed drivers and software and restarted computer, check that the printer and Canon Pixma software (Pixma MP Navigator 2.1 & Photo Print) are working via USB. Open the Canon IJ Network Tool App (Applications / Canon Utilities /IJ Network Tool / Canon IJ Network Tool App) and make sure you can see the Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and that it shows the correct SSID Wifi settings (under the Canon IJ Network Tool App ‘Setup menu’). This is normally done as part of the automatic install but worth double checking
3) Add new network printer using ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”).
After you have checked USB printing turn off printer, unplug the USB cable and shutdown the Canon IJ Network Tool App.
Then turn the printer back on and wait 30s. Then add a new printer using ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”). Once you select “+” (add new printer), wait 10-30s for the Wifi Networked Canon MX 860 Series printer to appear in the new window eg Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) (Kind: “Canon IJ Network”)
DO NOT ADD THE MX 860 SERIES BONJOUR SCANNER (the Bonjour Scanner is the built-in software, is not needed and often appears first on the add printer list). The Canon scanner can be accessed used through the MP Nav EX Ver. 2.1.3 software (which has much better functions)
You will now have two Printer Canon MX860 (USB) and Canon MX860 (Wifi / Network). Set the Canon MX860 (Wifi / Network) as default and test print and scan
If the Wifi Networked Canon MX 860 Series printer does not appear, check the printer and make sure that the printer can see the wifi network. On the printer select Menu / Settings / Device Settings / Lan Settings / WLAN Setting List. It should say WLAN Active, identify the SSID and have an IP address
If the printer can not see the Wifi Network, plug the USB cable back in, then open the Canon IJ Network Tool App (Applications / Canon Utilities /IJ Network Tool / Canon IJ Network Tool App). Make sure you can see the Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and that it has your SSID settings (under setup), if it has this info, restart the computer and the printer and try again

then is it a problem with my router ?
If it works with your friend's wireless connection, then the problem must be with your router.
What router is is? Does it have DHCP enabled?

Do they pick up an IP address automatically or are they manually configured?

Image size and stacking problem with FF12 even in safe mode. Images are 5x the right size and overlayed on top of other pictures or text. how to fix?

OK this problems limited to Facebook only. When logged in FF12 the entire page is scrambled. The pictures are stacked over each other and are 5 to 6 times the size their supposed to be. I have tried everything I could think of to fix this it even runs like this when in safe mode. I have uninstalled all plugins and all extensions I have uninstalled and even tried back dating FF. it's still so massively out of proportion that you can't do anything. .even when zoomed out 3x it's so large the pictures are larger than my screen. They are still overlapped so bad you can't do a thing with it. Even worse I uninstalled and installed pale moon and the effects migrated to that browser as well. Only browser I found unaffected by this is IE. Lord knows I don't wanna ever have to go that rout so I'm asking for help. I have a whole list of parsing errors and decoration drops, to many to post. any help would be much appreciated until it's fixed I'm stuck with IE. Chrome wont work with the software I run only IE or FF will.

IOS 15.x/Memory in Catalyst 2960 Switches series

Hi Guys,
I am just planning to upgrade the IOS on our 2960 Series switches with currently we have 12.x but planning to 15.x.
I have tested on our test environment and found one issue that related to memory utilization as on 12.x IOS they are using very little memory but when tested on 15.x they are using a lots of memory and little free available.
I have few questions.
1. Why this new IOS 15.x utilizing huge memory? and little memory available.
2. What will be happen if the switch is running fully loaded (i.e. Processor 80-90% utilization) then i think the available memory will also be fully utilized?
3. Can we upgrade the memory module in the switch as i don't see any memory module in 2960 so where are the memory module in switches as these memory built-in in the Processor?
Regards,
Saeed

15.0.2-SE6 has the gold star\black outline which means it's "Cisco Suggested", however I've yet to ever find anything that describes why its Suggested.
It would be really beneficial if more people commented on releases inside of the download section.

Igoogle is my home page, but when I choose to see the weather forecast I must select my city every time I open mozilla 'cause it won't save it.Plus I have a problem with windows media player, it won't install, error message says internal problem.

I have tried to solve this problem myself, by checking the cookies settings and staff. Everything seems to be ok. But it isn't.

Well, it seems waiting is not my strong suit..! I renamed a javascript file called recovery to sessionstore. This file was in the folder sessionstore-backups I had copied from mozilla 3 days ago, when my tabs were still in place. I replaced the sessionstore in mozilla's default folder with the renamed file and then started mozilla. And the tabs reappeared as they were 3 days ago!
So there goes the tab problem. But again when I started mozilla the window saying "a script has stopped responding" appeared, this time the script being: chrome//browser/contenttabbrowser.xml2542
If someone knows how to fix this and make firefox launch normally, please reply! Thank you

A series of recent problems with new MacBook Pro

Hi,
I bought a new MacBook Pro last May. The spec is:
Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013
Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5
I installed Yosemite in November (I think) and the Mac has been giving problems ever since. I'm not sure whether the problems are related to this installation, but I did not change anything else prior to the problems starting.
When I boot up my Mac, a message appears: "Finder was not shut down correctly. Reopen all windows from last session?"
This is inaccurate since I shut down the Mac correctly every evening.
Safari used to load pages quickly, but now when I first open it, it takes about a minute to open a page. Once it's running, it takes approximately 10 seconds to load a page. The spinning beachball appears regularly and Safari often quits.
Mail Rules are also operating differently. Whenever I created a new rule, prior to November, the rule would automatically have the name Rule [last rule + 1} i.e. if the last rule I created was Rule 41, the new rule would be called Rule 42. However, now all rules are called Rule 2 (I know that I can change this). This isn't a huge issue, I'm just mentioning it in case it helps to solve the problem.
Another occasional problem that has happened approximately three times is that applications freeze. I can still move the cursor around the screen but I cannot click on anything or take an action within an application.
I would be grateful if you could advise me on this, please.
Many thanks,
F.

Cisco 2960 plus, works with NAC?

hi Team, I have a catalyst 2960 Plus, running IOS 15.0(2)EZ, I'm trying sync this device with my Cisco NAC, but I can't and NAC shows this message: NAC: Unable to control 180.124.143.4
NAC version 4.8
So, reviewing the compatibility matrix for NAC and switch, I can´t find the 2960 Plus series.
Is this switch compatible with NAC??
Thanks in advance,
Victor Lenis

Thanks for your reply , I know what's MAB , if you read my explanation again , i mentioned that the user is authenticated in the guest portal which mean that I have web authentication , and it is working fine .. The only issue is that I can not use the vendor1 username as part of authorization condition and this is because the switch is not sending the radius attribute type 1 to the ISE , thus , on the ise authentication log the MAC address of the client machine is shown as a username not the actual username ( vendor1)
as I mentioned also , I have exactly the same setup with ise 1.2 and 3750 switch and I do not have this issue .I experience this with 2960x only .

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,

The 2960X (and XR) support was added with Device Pack 2 for PI 2.0. It was released on 22 January 2014 and is available here.
(PI 2.1 won't be out until later this year, release date not yet announced.)

Problems with Java Applets

Ever since upgrading to 10.5.2 I have been having trouble with sites with java applets. I like to play bridge on Pogo, but sometimes the game room will not open and at other times I get messages advising me to check the URL or go back to home page. I have tried emptying the cache, repairing permissions and a few other tips I have seen on this forum, but the problem persists.

I decided to take a look, but the Bridge program requires a signup. Not interested, but the free Poppit game plays fine as a guest on my machine on both Safari 3.1 and FireFox 3.0b4.
With FireFox I'm running AdBlock Plus, which can create problems with some sites, but the games loaded and played.
Based on this, I'd check the time of day you are trying to use their site and see if there are more problems with certain times.

Dot1x from catalyst 2960 to rsa

My infrastructure:
- Windows Vista or XP PC
- Catalyst 2960
- RSA Authentication Manager 7.1 with radius server
I'm trying to authenticate my clients through RSA secureid but it doesn't work...
If I try radius authentication with a test client it works properly...
My switch is configured (interesting parts):
aaa authentication dot1x default group radius
dot1x system-auth-control
interface GigabitEthernet0/4
dot1x pae authenticator
dot1x port-control auto
radius-server host 10.242.5.63 auth-port 1645 acct-port 1646 key 7 <removed>
radius-server source-ports 1645-1646
I've read some documents about this, and I've tried all tyoe of authentication, I think that correct auth is Cisco PEAP-GTC
Anyone has a working configuration?
Thanks
Daniele

With RSA you need to set GTC and no other authentication protocol will work.

Problems with java applets freezing.

Okay, this is an extemely rare java problem (from what I know), and I have worked for months to fix it and nothing has worked so far.
This is my problem: Whenever I use java applets, the screen freezes (still able to move mouse around) for about 10-20 seconds about twice a minute to once in ten minutes. This can make me very angry if I am in the middle of a game. I am POSITIVE it isn't my internet, I have Cable internet, one of the fastest. And after it is done freezing the applet runs perfectly, until it freezes again.
PLEASE HELP ME! Thanks in advance, Zach.
