Catalyst 500 series

hi,
i have a question regarding cisco 500 series switches and it is that if we want to shut down this switch remotely then is it possible or it has to be done manually by going to the switch location and disconnecting the power supply because i dont see a power off or shut down option if it is accessed remotely like from a pc.
regards
Ahmed

I don't think many devices are meant to be shutdown. As soon as there is power they run. That's what they are made for.
What do you wish to acomplish with the shutdown?
Cheers,
Michel

Can we monitor Catalyst 500 series Switches?

Dear All,
I am having Catalyst 500 switches in my Networking Environment. I want to monitor those switches by using snmp. Please advise whether this can be done and what are the kinds of traps we can enable? Also please suggest some links or pdf's of this Cat500 series switches.
Also these switches are having the below iOS.

Catalyst 500, voip, dropped calls

Are there any known issues with the Catalyst 500 series and dropped VOIP calls? We are having repeated problems, and our provider keeps pointing back to the switch.
We are using a CE 500 24-PC and LG phones. Switch software has been upgraded, multiple different Smartport configurations have been tried, and the switch itself has been swapped out with a second 24-PC.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

What diagnostics have you/your provider done that leads you to believe this is a switch problem?
Have you collected any traces? What are the precipitating circumstances just prior to the drop (if any)?
Have you tried any other (non-E500) switches?
It could be something as simple as needing Frame-Relay taffic shaping on the interface(s) to your WAN.
More details would be helpful. I've used E500s in a variety of roles and configs, all have worked without a hitch.
Good Luck
Scott

I need online Configuration Guide for Catalyst Express 500 Series Switches

Hi Mates,
Please is there an online help page for 500 series catalyst
I have this one for IOS 12.2(25)FY http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6545/products_configuration_example09186a00806da6c9.shtml
but I need more detailes like IOS 12.3(7)JA for Aironet 1300 http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps5861/products_configuration_guide_book09186a00804ebd50.html
Regards
Saher

I'm afraid there is not such document for IOS 12.2(25)FY since the Catalyst Express 500 Series switches are manageable through the GUI Device Manager or Cisco Network Assistant.
I have also found key features and standards supported for that release:

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.

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.

Change default VLAN on a catalyst express 500 series.

Hi. On one of our networks we have a CE 500 series 24 port switch (the one with just 4POE ports). As it hasnt got a proper console interface, is there a way of changing the default data vlan from 1 to 2 without having ro reset it?
I've logged into the web page on it but I cant change my default data vlan ID because its greyed out.. Does the default data VLAN ID need to be specified on installation?
Thanks

Cisco 500 Series 802.1x Requirements

Hello,
Does anyone have a guide on how to setup 802.1x on the Cisco 500 Series Switches.
I have done the whole implamentation in the past with Catalysts and ACS.
But would like to see a guide for the 500 series.
Do we need the Cisco ACS or can we use RADIUS on Windows?

Hi Peter, you may use IAS or any radius you prefer. To my knowledge the admin guide is the only documentation. You may check the Cisco knowledgd base as well.

Making a switching choice - Catalyst 500/520/ESW Linksys SRW/SFE

Greetings would someone be able to clarrify please what direction Cisco is taking in regards to the SMB switching product line as i am starting to get somewhat confussed.
From my estimation we currently have the following available for the SMB market, agreed there is a significant price difference between some of the product lines but it appears as though the choice when choosing an appropriate switch is becoming somewhat blurred and is beginning to come down to price rather than features and or performance characteristics.
Cisco Catalyst Express 500 Series Switches
Cisco Catalyst Express 520 Series Switches
Cisco Small Business Pro ESW 500 Series Switches
Cisco Small Business Managed Switches (Linksys Business Series)
Cisco Small Business Smart Switches (Linksys Business Series)
Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series Switches
Can i ask if there are any plans to merge some of the product lines such as the 500 and 520 which are both similiarly priced, managed almost identically and have the same feature set.
Are there plans for the ESW line to replace the existing Linksys SRW/SFE and Cisco 500/520 equivalents?
Would i correct in assuming that the ESW line runs IOS Code?
Any assistance would be much appreciated.
Regards
Mark Rigby

Mark,
Great questions. Thanks for posting.
1. Yes, you can expect that over time the ESW 500 Series will replace the Catalyst Express Series.
2. There are no plans for the ESW 500 series to replace the SRW/SFE switches. These product families are somewhat overlapping, but are targeted towards different types of small business customers and VAR partners.
3. You are incorrect in assuming the ESW is IOS based. It is not.
The attached PDF provides a high-level comparison of the Cisco switches that sell into SMB.
Thanks,
Georganne

How to Integrate 500 Series Cache Engine with WS-C3550-48-EMI

We are having a Catalyst 3550 L3 Switch, which is being used to provide Internet service. Now we want to integrate a 500 Series Cache Engine so that outbound http traffic is cached.
The Cat 3550-48-EMI switch is not supporting " ip wccp web-cache redirect out" command, instead it's supporting " ip wccp web-cache redirect in" command. So for outbound traffic no caching is happening. How this can be achieved?
Regards,
Malay.

in and out means catch traffic when it comes in or when it goes out respectively.
So you can configure the 'out' on the Internet facing interface to catch the request before it goes out to the Internet.
But you can also configure the 'in' on the client interface to catch the request when it comes into the router.
The 'in' gives much better performance because you catch the request before doing a route loockup.
The only disadvantage is that if you have many client vlans, you need to configure this 'in' command for each one of them.
Regards,
Gilles.

Which one is the console port of a cisco catalyst 500 express ?

i cant find it anywhere ?

jillesmiedema,
I haven't used that type of Cisco switch myself but did some research and it looks like there is no console port on this switch. It appears to be set up via a GUI application.
See this link...
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/switches/ps5718/ps6545/product_data_sheet0900aecd80322aeb.html
which states this...
The Cisco Catalyst Express 500 Series switches are designed for ease of use. The switch is initialized through the GUI Device Manager; no console cable or terminal emulation application is needed
As far as help setting this switch up please see the following link which should get you started in the right direction...
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalystexpress500/release_12.2_25_fy/quick/start/1708402.html
Hope this helps you out. Let us know how it goes.

I want your valuabale opininon on ESW 500 series switches

In my offiec i want to connect 8 accesspoints and 8 smart boad and 8 pcs to a switch the access points are cisco 1240g series and controlled by a wlan controller.
this switch should be connected to a core switch 4507 using fiber.
can i use these esw switches for this

Not sure what you mean by 8 smart boad - can you be more clear on that?
Couple of comments:
- Please note that we recommend the ESW in a Cisco Small Business type deployment with products such as UC500, SR500, AP500. Also, management is via a configuration utility GUI or CCA, not CLI as you would use for the Cisco Catalyst switches. Check this discussion which has a PDF that goes over positioning of the switches- https://www.myciscocommunity.com/message/8385#8385
- Please check the POE requirements you need against the ESW switches - check the question on at Q & A
Q. How many devices can the Cisco ESW 500 Series PoE switches power?

How to remove the WiSM2 from the Catalyst 6500 series switch?

Hello, can you explain to me how to safely remove the WiSM2 from the Catalyst 6500 series switch?
According to the documentation "Catalyst 6500 Series Wireless Services Module 2 Installation and Verification Note":
To remove the WiSM2, perform these steps:
Step1     Shut down the module by one of these methods:
In privileged mode from the router prompt, enter the hw-mod module mod shutdown command. NoteIf you enter this command to shut down the module, you must enter the following commands in global configuration mode to restart (power down, and then power up) the module:
Router# no power enable module modRouter# power enable module mod
If the module does not respond to any commands, press the SHUTDOWN button located on the front panel of the module.
Step2     Verify that the WiSM2 shuts down. Do not remove the module from the switch until the POWER LEDis off.
But, in the case of Step1 (1st methods) I do not see a option "shutdown" in the command "hw-mod module 3"...
All I prompted to enter is:
c6500#hw-module module 3 ?
boot           Specify boot options for the module through Power Management Bus control register
reset          Reset specified component
simulate Simulate options for the module
Is it hidden options? IOS version of c6500 is 12.2(33)SXJ1
In the case of Step2 (2nd methods) there is not any button on the front panel of the module?
And yet, it is better to remove the module configuration manually or use the command module clear-config prior to removing the module?

Good catch.
Which one is true, will get back to you on this if i've something soon.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/module/wism2/installation/note/WiSM_2.html#wp34727
The above link is procedure to remove wism2. This procedure doesn’t look like wism2 is hot swapable.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/module/wism2/installation/note/WiSM_2.html#wp34621
All modules, including the supervisor engine (if you have redundant supervisor engines), support hot swapping. You can add, replace, or remove modules without interrupting the system power or causing other software or interfaces to shut down. For more information about hot-swapping modules, see the Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Module Installation Guide.

How to erase all configuration in Cisco ESW 500 Series Switches

Hi anybody,
Anyone show me how to erase or remove configuration file from ESW 500 Series Switches?
Thanks
Thuc

Hi Thuc,
The restart / reset function will allow for local or remote reset of the the unit to Factory defaults, see screen capture below. ;
Alternatively, the Switch can be reset by inserting a paper clip into the RESET opening on the friont of the switch.
Pressing the manual reset for 0 to 10 seconds only reboots the switch.
Pressing the manual reset for longer than 10 seconds results in the switch being reset to factory defaults.
does this answer your question, not exactly sure it does ?
regards Dave

HP pavilion 500 series, gtx 650 not working

I just got an hp pavilion 500 series computer and put in my 680 watt power supply (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA5751TC9946&nm_mc=TEMC-RMA-Approvel&cm_mmc=TEMC-R... This is the power supply i have) from my old computer but my gtx 650 will not work, my monitor has a no input if i have it plugged into the graphic card but works if i have it in the integrated graphic slot. The computer will also beep 6 times in a row stop then repeat the beeps 5 times if i have the 6 pin connector plugged into the graphics card. The gtx 650 works just fine in my other computer with this same power supply.
