Catalyst 2960-S Stack Interface Packet Drop

Hi all!
I have a 2960-S stack with the following behavior:
SWITCH#sh int g1/0/26
     Input queue: 0/75/0/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 12275
When I issue the show mls qos interface g1/0/26 statistics:

I need some help to read this output but it seems that packets are dropped at all queues, isn't it?
Any help please?
Thanks in advance!

Please post the output to the following commands:
1.  sh interface G1/0/26; and
2.  sh controll e G1/0/26
What kind of client is connected to port Gi1/0/26?

    Hi , i think only four 2960 SF switches can be stacked into a singe logical switch.
    Please refer the link , hope this helps:

  • 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.

    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.

  • Output packets drops on Router interface

    Hi,
    As shown in attached diagram we have connected DC and site with two ISP.
    RTR1 and RTR2 are in HSRP mode and RTR2 is active router for site
    We are seeing packet drops on DC RTR2 interfece connected to Sprint MPLS.
    We have a site with two isp (Sprint MPLS and P2P link). Site is running on Sprint ISP.
    We are seeing out put errors on DC RTR2 Sprint interface,  when we failover site to P2P link from sprint.
    And when fail over back to Sprint at site we are not seeing any output packets drops on DC RTR2 sprint link.

  • Input packet drops on uplink port-profile

    Hi,
    I'm using Nexus 1000v and vSphere 5.1;
    I just migrated some physical servers to VM, and I have some weird reporting issues;
    Just to make sure it wasn't a network issue they asked me to verify if anything was overlooked on the Nexus side of things;
    Everything checked out, but I'm seeing a lot of input packet drops on the physical ports of the system uplink port-profile;  I doubled checked the configs on the VSM and the Catalyst stack and all is configured properly;
    should I be concerned about these Input packet drops that I'm seeing on the VSM on the physical interfaces of my uplink port-profile?  If so, could it be the NICS in the ESX host that could be the issue?
    Any feed back would be appreciated;
    Thanks.

    I have the same symptomps on 3 different Nexus 1000v. All 3 run the same version  - 4.2(1)SV2(1.1) VMware is 5.0 sp1 and the hardware for ESXi hosts is more or less the same (At least server blade model and CNA).
    We have tried to use vempkt to capture traffic but no traffic is captured if we filter on drops even though the counter on the port-channel and member Ethernet interfaces increase. On the hosts we tried vempkt we see about 20 drops per second. Here is some info. I have removed some irrellevant stuff.

    In our case, could the input drops depend on that we allow vlans from the upstream hardware switch to the VEM that do not exist on the N1000v and that this is the reason we can not capture the dropped packets?
    Any ideas?
    PS: We see drops on uplinks on all VEMs       

  • Catalyst 2960 Problem with Cisco SPA512

    Hi there,
    I hope someone can help me.
    I don't have much experience with switches, I'm doing the desktop support in our company.
    We have Catalyst 4510 R+E to 2 Catalyst 2960 switches and seperate VLAN's for IP Phones and for Internet in one part of our office.
    Now I'm running into trouble with some IP Phones that are connected to the 2960 switches. It appears only to happen with Cisco's SPA-512. I've tried FW 7.5.2, 7.5.5 and 7.5.5b. These phones sporadically drop the call / connection, with the red MIC button blinking. Based on my research this means that it looses Internet connection. I have 1 SPA512 with FW 7.5.1 that does not show these symptoms.
    I have other phones SPA942 and Polycom IP335 in the same area behind the same switches and no issues.
    We've tried to disable auto negotiate and set a fixed transmition rate or either 1Gbps and 100Mbps, both without success.
    I also have SPA512 in other areas of the office just connected to our Catalyst 4510 R+E and they work just fine. That's why I don't believe it has anything to do with the 4510, but I can be wrong.
    That's all I have for you guys. Hope someone can help me to fix / troubleshoot this..

  • 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.

  • 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.

    If i connect a Cisco Access Point (2602), it´s powered up via PoE, but on some ports this is not working; it just doesn´t power up. The port configuration is exactly the same. I rebooted the switch, but still the same.
    Any ideas how to troubleshoot this? Is it possible, that the PoE capability on some ports is just broken?
    Thanks
    Heinz

    Hi,
    it did all this, but there are no irregularities. IOS is version 152-1.E2

  • 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.

  • Gbic loop on catalyst 2960

    Hello,
    I would like to know if there is a way to validate that a SFP type 1000baseLX is working properly on catalyst 2960.
    I am looking for the loop feature that is available on routers.... but not on switches.
    The topology is 2 catalyst 2960 switches with both SFP type 1000baseLX connected together with a fiber. This was working find but actually, the two interfaces are down/down.
    The idea is to be sure that the problem is on the fiber and not on one of the SFP....
    Thank You for your help.

    UniDirectional Link Detection (UDLD) addresses your concern regarding the fiber. See http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst2960/software/release/12.2_46_se/configuration/guide/swudld.html for more information.
    For the SFPs themselves, you might want to review http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/modules/ps4999/products_tech_note09186a00807a30d6.shtml for more information.
    Hope this helps.

  • Customer packet drops issue

    Hi,
    Our customer took 30Mbps metro link from us. Even at 17Mbps link utilization they are facing packet drops. Our side policer is implemented for 30Mbps. There are no errors on customer or our interfaces. But I can see exceed packets under 'show policy-map interface' . Used maximum Bc. Does customer required to implement shaping his end with same CIR and Bc.
    Regards
    Siva K

    Hi Siva,
    It is not a mandatory rule that Customer should also have the same CIR configured with shaping.
    When Customer have 30 Mbps circuit SLA with Service Provider, he may be able to pump ta line rate from CE side. But on PE side, it will be policied and excess traffic will be dropped.
    To avoid Customer's traffic getting dropped at PE, It is advisible to configure shaping at CE side so that the traffic SLA will be maintained without or with less number of packet loss.
    Can you post your config and show policy-map interface output with traffic?.
    Regards,
    Nagendra

  • Problem with Cisco Catalyst 2960

    I've got a problem with the Catalyst 2960 / 24TCL switch. The Flash-directory was empty. After I copy with xmodem the firmware bin-file into the flash-directory and installed it .. I miss the HTML-Directory. Can somebody tell me how I can get it back?
