Catalyst 4500 using Fiber connecting to Catalyst 3550

Hello.
My client have few units of 3550 that is using GBIC (G5484-1000Base-SX) modules.
These are connected to a Core switch 4507R-E with a 48 port WS-X4248-FE-SFP module.
I have tested the GBIC modules between 3550s using 3m Fiber cables - they are all working fine.
However, between Core and 3550 GBIC, they connection doesn't come up across the fibre.
Can i confirm that the 48-Port 100BaseX with SFP cannot connect to a GBIC modules?
How about connecting 10GB (WS-X45-SUP6-E) to 3550 GBIC modules?
Thanks for your help.

Transition Networks makes a media converter (model SGFEB4040-180) that looks to accomplish what you are trying to do; interconnect a 100Mb interface to a 1000Mb interface.
4500/100BASE-FX -----> 100BASE-FX/SGFEB4040-180/1000BASE-X ---------> 1000BASE-X/SGFEB4040-180/1000BASE-X ----- 1000BASE-X/3550
I am not sure the performance impact to the network.given the significant bandwidth differences between the two switches end links. The media converter does support pause frames, so it should slow the flow.
I have never seen this solution implemented so I don't no the economics of this solution or how it will operate.
Good luck!

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.

Our business would like to use or connect to an other online payment gateway on Business Catalyst.

Dear Manger,
Our business would like to use or connect to an other online payment gateway on Business Catalyst, That's the KCP (www.KCP.co.kr) serviced in South Korea.
We have registered already at KCP. Can we use or connect the payment gateway service on Bc? I think, a technical issue is not the problem.
Of course, a business target of the global online shop is Asia including South Korea. So we need the global & domestic payment gateway. Our headquarter is in Korea, Republic of. (South Korea).
Is it something problem for using the payment gateway service?
And If we get possible, how long take the installation period?
Your reply is much awaited.
All the best of success.
Sincerely,
William NAM

I don't believe that is a supported gateway with BC.
Talk to these guys: Two Blokes With A Postie - They can help you integrate a third party gateway with BC using the API.

Can't connect to business catalyst server using dreamweaver

I can't connect to the business catalyst server using dreamweaver. It prompts incorrect username or password, but it's not though. I'm traying to import a templet from business catalyst to change the background to a personal image.
Can't find out how els to do it so I'm trying this.
Unless someone knows how els I can do that
Help appreciated

It prompts incorrect username or password, but it's not though.
This prompt itself means that your login credentials are wrong. Double, triple check the ID and password you're using to try to login to BC.
Try logging in from here: http://www.businesscatalyst.com/admin/Index.aspx to see if you're able to. If not, reset your password from here.

WS-X4306-GB - Catalyst 4500 6-port GBIC Module & FC Tape Libraries

WS-X4306-GB - Catalyst 4500 6-port GBIC Module & FC Tape Libraries
I have several Tape Autoloader Libraries from Dell which have Fibre Channel interfaces. I have loop switches that these connect to today. I also have a Catalyst 4506 with a WS-X4306-GB - 6-port GBIC Module. I would like to use the X4306 as a loop switch. Some of the libraries can also connect via point-to-point FC.
Can this be done? If yes, how do I start in making this happen?
Thank You.

Sorry but the Catalyst 4500 does not support Fibre Channel connections on the WS-X4306-GB (or on any card). It's strictly an Ethernet switch. Reference
To mix and match Ethernet and FC interfaces, you'd have to be on a new platform like the Nexus 5k series - specifically the UP (Unified Port) variants.

QoS trust dscp or cos on catalyst 4500

We have a 4510R with Cisco IOS Software, IOS-XE Software, Catalyst 4500 L3 Switch Software cat4500e-UNIVERSALK9-M), Version 03.05.02.E RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1).
I want use qos trust dscp or qos trust cos on the interface conected to other cisco switch or wlan controller.
The current IOS version, do not support qos trust dscp:
SW(config)#interface gi10/16
SW(config-if)#qos tr
SW(config-if)#qos trust ?
device trusted device class
extend Extend trust through a connected device
SW(config-if)#qos trust device ?
cisco-phone   Cisco IP Phone
cts           Cisco-telepresence
ip-camera     Cisco video surveillance camera
media-player Cisco Digital Media Player
SW(config-if)#qos trust device
What is the software that I need for this?. I tried with command lookup tool but the cat4500 do not appears.

That is even new for me.
I did a search and found that, now a days you no longer have to provide the Trust DSCP command, it is by default trusted.
Went through this White Paper and excerpts are below:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/switches/catalyst-4500-series-switches/white_paper_c11-539588.html
The answer to your question comes from the following excerpt :-
"Previously supervisor engines relied on “port trust” to classify traffic; however, this does not fall into the MQC CLI construct. MQC provides a more flexible capability, i.e. all traffic is trusted by default, an administrator can change this trust state using a policy map. Another difference is the “internal DSCP” value used within the switch to place packets in the proper queue.
Cisco Catalyst 4500E Supervisor Engines do not use “internal DSCP”; rather, it relies on explicit matching of QoS values using class maps so that packets can be placed in the correct queue.
Also, note that there is no specific priority queue: it is not queue 3 or queue 1. The priority queue is simply configured within a class; therefore, it is not tied to a specific queue. One final difference is that of classification. Cisco Catalyst 4500E Supervisor Engines provide sequential classification rather than parallel. This allows the network administrator to classify traffic at egress based on the ingress markings. These markings can be done unconditionally, using a policer or using a table map. Based on these changes, QoS CLI will now be more contiguous on the Supervisor Engines as it will now have standard Cisco MQC CLI, making configuration management much simpler"
HTH,

Trunking on Nexus 5000 to Catalyst 4500

I have 2 devices on the each end of a Point to Point. One side has a Nexus 5000 the other end a Catalyst 4500. We want a trunk port on both sides to allow a single VLAN for the moment. I have not worked with Nexus before. Could someone look at the configurations of the Ports and let me know if it looks ok?
nexus 5000
interface Ethernet1/17

switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan 141
spanning-tree guard root
spanning-tree bpdufilter enable

Catalyst 4500

description
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk allowed vlan 141
switchport mode trunk
speed 1000
spanning-tree bpdufilter enable
spanning-tree guard root

Thanks guys, we found the issue. The Catalyst is on my side and the Nexus is on the side of the hosting center. The hosting center moved his connection to a different Nexus 5000 and the connection came right up. We dropped the spanning-tree guard root.
It was working on the previous nexus when we set the native vlan for 141. So we thought it was the point to point dropping the tags.
The hosting center engineer this it might have to do with the VPC Peer-Link loop prevention on the previous Nexus.
Anyway it is working the way we need it to.

Catalyst Express 500 series connection problems

Hello! our company is currently using two 500 series switch connected to eachother using the g1/1000mbits port, a cisco router is also plugged in to one of the switches for broadband internet access. After deployment the following problems came up, we are unable to use our wireless access point even when the port is set up as being "access point" using the smartports feature, we simply cant ping the access point no matter what port type we set on the switch and we keep having the error message on the router that it has denied connection from that device, my feeling is that for some reason i'm not aware of the router is blocking certain devices to transfer data no matter what type of port we define on the smartports feature. I cant find anyway or option on the router software to disable this blocking or filtering of the data in order to connect any devices i want normally without any restrictions. for some reason the switch is not accepting connections from the access point...
Any help would be much appreciated.
Fernando - London - UK

Hi, well, i did disabled STP but it didnt help, i'm going to post the network topology more exactely and the settings being used so its easier to get any help as i think i missed some points about our network :) ....so here it goes :
1. All the devices and client computers are using fixed ip addresses on the range 192.168.254.x
2. Topology :
Switch number 1 connected devices:
17 client computers connected
1 printer
1 cisco router (with dhcp disabled and using fixed ip too)
1 Netgear AP using set with DHCP
Switch number 2 connected devices:
10 client computer connected
Switch 1 and 2 are connected using the G1/1000mbits uplink port
Settings being used on BOTH switches (they are both catalyst 500,same software version) :
- default vlan1 is set and enabled
- STP enabled
- IGMP snooping enabled
- all ports are enabled and set to auto mode for speed and duplex
- port Gi1 that is used to connect both switches is set as "Switch" type with smartports.
- gateway (cisco router) ip address set
- security set to "low"
- STP settings on switch 1:
currents roots: VLAN1 , priority:32768 , root port: fa24 (where the router is connected), route path:38
- STP settings on switch 2:
currents roots: VLAN1 , priority:32768 , root port: Gi1 (uplink to switch 1), route path:42
switch 1 specific settings:
- the port where the AP is connected is set using smartports as "Access Point" and the port where the printer is connected is set as "Printer" also using smartports on the switch device manager software.
- the port where the cisco router is connected is set as "router" with smartports
Facts:
- I am able to ping all the devices on the network from any computers connected to both switches.
- I am able to ping the printer from any computer connected to both switches as well.
- When AP is connected directly to the cisco router wireless clients have access to internet with no problems
- all wired client computers on both switches connect to the internet using the router without problems.
Issues:
- Cannot ping the AP from any client computer on the network
- When printing from Switch 1 clients everything goes well, but when i print from clients on Switch 2 i am unable to print as its unable to connect to the printer, however i can ping the printer on the command-line !
- When i try to plug in the network cable from the AP to its designated port on Switch 1 the network crashes !
Error messages:
When trying to print from clients on Switch 2 or when try to connect and use AP on switch 1 i get or "access denied to device connecting to portxx" or i get an STP blocking error .
Hope the picture is clearer now.
thanks once more.
Fernando.

Catalyst 4500, scp, rcp

Does anybody know is it possible to set up a remote access to the Catalyst 4500 series switch thru the rcp or scp protocol? I want to start commands on the remote unix server. Like unix# scp -i identity -B acl.file user@catalyst:system:running-config or unix# rcp acl.file user@catalyst:system:running-config, where acl.file is the file with access-list. It's important to start commands on the remote server, not on the switch. Thanks for any advice.

Hello,
I just tried this on a Cat 4500 using tftp, and successfully changed its hostname, and added a new ACL.
The same should be true for rcp and scp.
Just remember to put "end" as the last line of the file, otherwise you will get a %PARSER-4-BADCFG: Unexpected end of configuration file message (but it still works).
This was tried on Version 12.2(25)EWA4.
Hope this helped,
Michael.

AAA Server on a Catalyst 4500

Is it possible to configure a catalyst 4500 for example, to be a AAA Server and hold a local username and password database for other switches/routers to authenticate against?
Thanks
Wayne

Wayne
While it is possible to configure a catalyst switch as aaa client, and it is possible to configure a catalyst switch to do local authentication using a locally configured username/password database, I believe that it is not possible to configure a catalyst switch to provide authentication to other switches based on its local username/password database. I do not believe that the catalyst swithes include the server code for aaa.

Subinterfaces - hardware limitation on catalyst 4500-X

Hi there,
We are currently building a VSS and our design has L3 subinterfaces however we have hit a major wall while trying to do the following
         Create physical subinterface on VSS switch – Fail
         Create port-channel subinterface on VSS switch – Fail
         Create physical subinterface on standalone switch – Fail
         Create port-channel subinterface on standalone switch – Fail
Below is the output showing that the option of a subinterfaces seems to be available, but it still doesn’t apply

I am assuming this restriction applies to this platform but other than that there is nothing specifying we can't do this. Anyone out there has hit the same issue? or can anyone confirm this is an actual platform restriction
Thank you

Hi,
The 4500 and 4500x series switches do not support sub-interfaces. Only 6500 series support sub-interfaces.

1000v uplink to Catalyst 4500

We have a 1000v switch uplinked to nexus 5K and Catalyst 4500 switches. I can see all the VEMs(ESX servers) connected to the nexus 5K uplink switch and everything seems working fine. However, I am not able to see the VEMs uplinked to Cisco Catalyst 4500 switch. The "show Module" command shows all VEMs connected to the nexus 5K uplink switches but not the Catalyst 4500 switches.The log file on the 1000V shows the following:
   7 09:36:21 NX-1K-100 %VMS-5-DVS_HOSTMEMBER_INFO: A host with name=[IP ADD. OF ESX SERVER] and uuid=[34393232-3035-3255-5839-3430303
03537] is added to the dvs. The host is not found as a module in the VSM configuration.
If anyone have run into similar situation, plpease let me know how you handled it.
Thanks

Hi bharga,
I did all the checking....
    1) all important VLANS including the control vlan are not blocked (No STP issue)
    2) The Nexus 5K and the 4500 switch are in layer layer 2 ( They are not directly connected but are in layer two domain or no hop between them)
   3) the ESX Server hosting the VSM is connected to the Nexus 5K
Here is some of the show commands that i run on the 4500 switch that is connects the ESX server to the rest ofd the network:-

I still don't see the VEM connected to port 1/38 of this switch on my nexus 1000v switch. The configuration file show exactly how many VEMs I have as shown below:

But the show module command on the nexus 1000v shows only those VEMs coonected to the Nexus 5K switches and not those connected to the Catalyst 4500 switches.
