Catalyst 6509 switch GE and FE Modules

Hi All,
On a CAT-6509, when I remove the GE or FE modules from the chassis ,will that configuration on the GE/FE modules disappear and when I insert it back will that configuration is going to reappear ?
Regards,
Madan

On a Native Mode yes, the configuration for that line card will remain in the running-configuration and therfore the same config will retunr upon insertion of that same line card, it's called "slot provisionining".
Bug id CSCsb49891 is an enhancement to the IOS that clears the configuration of the removed line card or turns off the "slot provisioning".
router(config)#module ?
ContentServicesGateway Configure a CSG module
ContentSwitchingModule configure a CSM SLB module
clear-config To clear configuration when module is removed
provision Configure module provision status
router(config)#module clear-config
The above CLI knob is present in 12.2(18)SXF or above so in your case, you will not have the knob, you need to reload the switch to remove the removed line card's configuration.

Missinf FWSM in Catalyst 6509 switch

I have a problem with a Catalyst 6509 switch.The problem initially I had was loggin into the switch.I was always sent to the rommon> anytime I tried logging into the switch until I was told to enter "boot bootflash:". I was able to enter the switch but could not find the FWSM module.The module was there until we tried upgrading the IOS of the MSFC.
When I enter "show module" it does not show the FWSM module.
Is there something anybody can please show me to do other to access the Firewall module.

Thanks for your post.
Below is the result of a sh version and sho module of the switch as well as a report that comes up upon bootup using the "boot bootflash:"

Catalyst 6509 switch

I have a problem with one of our catalyst 6509 switches. We had power problem and when I tried to power the switch on after the power was restored it take me to the rommon.
rommon>
I urgently need answers to three questions and would therefore appreciate it if anyone can help me out.
1. What is the cause of the switch not booting from flash but going to rommon?
2.How do I get into the switch and
3.How do I reset the switch to boot from flash and not going to the rommon
Hope a savior comes to my aid

Probably went into rommon due to incorrect or missing boot statement . You must already be in the switch if you know it is in rommon . If this is a native IOS box then just issue the "boot bootflash: " command and this should boot the box . Once booted up make sure the boot statement is correct . "boot system flash sup-bootflash: .

How to find IP of SUP card from MSFC in Catalyst 6509 switch

I have logged into the MSFC of 6509, and want to login to the SUP engine. I don't know the IP of SUP. Is there any way I can get the info from MSFC so that I can login to SUP or is there any command on MSFC like session <mod number> which we use to login to MSFC from SUP.

Bootloader and IOS image into a Catalyst 6509 running hybrid mode

Hi all,
I have a Catalyst 6509 running CatOS and IOS (hybrid mode)
The chassis is based on a SUP1A and a MSFC2
The MSFC is using images:
boot system bootflash:c6msfc2-is-mz.121-2.E
boot bootldr bootflash:c6msfc2-boot-mz.121-2.E
I would like to know if is possible to add the next command to the MSFC configuration in order to load the new image before erase the old one, even while the chassis boot using the old bootloader image:
boot system tftp c6msfc2-pk2o3sv-mz.121-26.E2.bin 10.10.5.15
Thanks.

Thanks Amit, thanks Ankur,
Yeah! I know about the limits of the bootflash space as the PCMCIA option.
It is a bit complicated to explaint the situation here but I will try.
Neither the actual CatOS or IOS will recognize the new PCMCIA we bought to this upgrade. :P
First, I will upgrade CatOS using rommon and xmodem command in order to execute a new catos release that can view the PCMCIA, then I will format it and I will copy the new catos image and the new ios image there.
Then I will change the catos boot config and I will do a reset.
I must do that because the new release don't enter into the bootflash and the actual CatOS don't support boot from the network :P. It is CatOS 5.5.1 :PPP
After that, I need also to upgrade the MSFC because as I read that the actual IOS won't see the PCMCIA filesystem. In order to do that I would like to prepare the MSFC to boot from a TFTP server and then modify the configuration to boot from sup-slot0: forever :)
Let me know what do you think about this steps.

Replacement catalyst 6500 switches under redundancy environment

Hi everyone,
I plan to replace old core catalyst 6500 switches with new ones for the purpose of reinforcement.
Now two core catalyst 6500 switches are working under redundancy environment.
There are many catalyst 6500 switches as distribution switch connect to each core catalyst
6500 switches as attached.
I think there are two ways to replace core catalyst 6500 switches.
[One]
Replacing one core catalyst 6500 switches first, then one week later, replacing another core
catalyst 6500 switch. And all traffic will be handled another core catalyst 6500 switch automatically
by EIGRP routing during replacement.
Advantage:
One another core catalyst 6500 switch continues operating even if the replacement fail.
Disadvantage:
Two core catalyst 6500 switches will operate in a different version (CatOS, MSFC IOS) for one week.
Any problem might be happened due to this issue.
[Two]
Replacing both core catalyst 6500 switches at the same time.
Advantage:
Replacement will be finished at one time
Disadvantage:
If the replacement fail, whole network goes to down and it cause critical situation.
I have to replace successfully so I would like know good information about this, such as
best practice, case study and so on.
Your information would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,

Hi,
If I were you, I will go for option 1.
This option will give us the time to observe the traffic pattern, time to get the network and EIGRP to stabilize and even to check for any issues on the IOS part.
This will give you time frame to work out for any issue if it happens in between the weeks time.This will gibe you tha time to see for any imcompatibilty issues as such.
HTH, Please rate if it does.

SNMP on Catalyst 2950 switch - possible?

How can I add SNMP to my Catalyst 2950 switch? and what will this give me with regards to network monitoring etc. A lot of my networks go through this device and I what to get stats on port etc. I really hope you can help here.

Hi Chandru,
Here's what you should do. Firstly, go to the following site which will give you a list of MIBs supported on the 2950:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps628/products_configuration_guide_chapter09186a00800d84cc.html
Then, open up the Cisco SNMP Object Navigator at:
http://tools.cisco.com/Support/SNMP/do/BrowseOID.do?local=en
Within that, click on 'View and Download MIBs' and then select the MIBs you are interested in to download/view them.
As an example, you can get counters on memory pools from the CISCO-MEMORY-POOL-MIB
Hope that helps - pls rate the post if it does.

Paresh.

ACE10-6500-K9 module in catalyst 6509 gives this error

Hello
I have a module ACE10-6500-K9 inserted en module 8 of a catalyst 6509 that gave me this error yesterday.
The workaround is to manually reset the slot ¿ok? I try to reload and the problem persists ¿is neccesary hardware reset to solve this probem?
Is due to a bug o hardware problem?
%C6KPWR-SP-4-DISABLED: power to module in slot 8 set off (Module not responding to Keep Alive polling)
Thanks you very much

Hi, a.serrano
The meaning of the message is as it says. Sup, to be specific, Switch Processor of Sup sent continual keepalives through EOBC path and
did not hear back for keepalives from ACE in slot 8. So the Sup reset the ACE blade in slot 8.
I can only say that it could be h/w related or s/w related or due to slack inserted blade with the message.
If it is h/w related, whichever chassis slot, chassis eobc path, ACE blade, the first thing you need to check out is that
failures in generic on-line diagnostic (GOLD) from Sup side.
Let's see what diagnostic is running on ACE blade.
Router#show diagnostic content module 1
Module 1: Application Control Engine Module
Diagnostics test suite attributes:
     M/C/* - Minimal bootup level test / Complete bootup level test / NA
       B/* - Basic ondemand test / NA

       S/* - Only applicable to standby unit / NA

     3) TestAsicSync --------------------> ***N****A***    000 00:00:15.00 10
With ACE blade, "3) TestAsicSync" has "A" flag which means "Monitoring is active".
SP of Sup is sending polling packets at a certain interval to check health of an Asic on ACE blade.
Now let's see failure count of that.
Router#show diagnostic result module 1 detail
    3) TestAsicSync --------------------> .
          Error code ------------------> 0 (DIAG_SUCCESS)
           Total run count -------------> 47297

           Last test failure time ------> n/a
           Last test pass time ---------> Feb 17 2011 05:52:34
           Total failure count ---------> 0
           Consecutive failure count ---> 0
If you see failure counters incremented, check the same thing with other blades inserted in the chassis to know
if it is specific to slot 8 or seen with multiple slots. (different type of blade has different type of diagnostic contents)
Also, check dropped and retry counters SCP as below.

LCP# means that "Line Card Processor of slot #".
If you see counters mentioned above incremented continualy with the ACE blade in slot 8,
try removing / re-inserting the blade. If it persists, consider moving the ACE blade to other slot.
Even it persists after that, now consider h/w replace.
If moving slot or h/w replace do not fix the reset due to keepalive failure, or those counters incrementing,
it might be s/w related issue.
I do not know what s/w version you use, however we always recommend to take the latest
version to have bug fixes and enhancements.
Actually we had control plane issue with ACE that could cause not responding to keepalive
some times ago.
Let's isolate possibility of bad chassis and slack inserted blade, then try s/w upgrading.
If all those effort fails, pls consider h/w replace.
If s/w upgrade is not easy option for you, try replacing ACE blade instead of s/w upgrade
and keep s/w upgrade as the last option based on your environment.

Catalyst 6509 and 3560G

Hi,
I want to extend the number of ports available in my network and have just purchased a Cisco 3560G. We have a Cisco 6509 running in Hybrid mode. The VTP mode on the 6509 is Transparent as we have created the VLANs and port assignments manually.
I want to add the new switch and have it hanging of port 6/8 on the Catalyst 6509.
Am I right if I set 6/8 to trunk with Gi0/1? I was ging to do the following in order to communicate between the two switches.
Set port 6/8 to trunking mode dot1q.
Create VLAN 150 and 151 on the 3560G. Add ports to each of the VLANS.
My confusion is this... if the trunk port is on one of the VLANs then the other VLAN will not be able to communicate over it. i.e. if I add the trunk into VLAN 151 then ports in VLAN 150 will not be able to send traffic over it.
What is the ideal way to set this up?
Thanks
Gavin

Set the native vlan to be the same on both ends. Mismatched native VLANs can create problems even if trunk connects.
802.1q doesn't tag native vlan frames. As such, anytime an untagged frame arrives the switch assumes that it belongs to that vlan. Let's say if the native vlan is set to 150 on one switch and the 2nd switch that receives an untagged ARP frame will assume the traffic came in on vlan 1 (default) and if the switch doesn't know the MAC then it would forward it to vlan 1 and trunk ports. As you can see it can create problems if there's mismatched native vlans.
Hope this helps!

Using Catalyst 3550 Switch with Linksys Home Router and Cable Internet

I've about pulled what little hair I have out of my head on this one, and need some configuration help.
I have a Cisco Catalyst 3550 switch with five Windows 7 desktops, an Avaya PBX and five Avaya IP phones attached. All of these devices are on a 192.168.0.0/24 subnet, and are communicating properly. I will refer to this as network # 1. I also have SEPARATE network, we'll call network # 2, using AT&T ADSL service and a Netgear 4-port/wireless router/ADSL modem combo device, which is functioning properly with a couple of other Windows 7 desktops over its own wired Ethernet network, using DHCP, and also on a 192.168.0.0/24 subnet. I thought it would be a simple integration, just plugging one of the 3550's ports to one of the DSL router's ports, in order to give the five Windows 7 desktop computers on network # 1 internet access via the DSL modem. Guess I was wrong. When I connect the two switches together, although I get a good connectivity (green lights on both ports) and am able to ping the DSL router's gateway address (192.168.0.252) from network # 1's computers, the computers on network # 1 cannot access the internet. Also, the working computers on network # 2 lose their internet access as long as the two switches are connected together. I am not a Cisco guru, but there's got to be a way to make this scenario work. Can someone provide me with a 3550 configuration that will allow me to extend my internet service from network # 2 on the DSL router to my 3550 switch and their computers? Here's what I am looking for:
INTERNET ---> ADSL MODEM ---> NETGEAR ROUTER ---> CISCO 3550 SWITCH ---> NETWORK DEVICES WITH INTERNET ACCESS

The Netgear router is probably what's doing the natting. Is the 3550 configured for routing or is it straight L2? If you have the 3550 configured as L3, then it's going to be easy to do what you want. Just add a static route on the Netgear to point the subnet that it doesn't know about to the 3550. For example, if the Netgear is addressed at 192.168.1.1 and the Cisco 3550 is addressed at 192.168.1.2, but it also knows about the 192.168.0.0/24 (separate vlan), then you would put a static route on your Netgear for 192.168.0.0/24 to go to 192.168.1.2.
The way that I would do it is to create a separate vlan on the 3550 and assign an address to it. Once you do that, make the port that the other switch connects to an access port of that vlan. (It would need to be on the same subnet as the existing equipment.) All of your devices would use it as a default gateway and then you would do the rest as above. You could also use RIP between the Netgear and Cisco if you can't do static routing.

I have used lightroom for ~2 years and have lightroom 5.5 installed on a PC. Yesterday evening I uploaded a new set of photos which I cataloged and rated as usual. After that when I switched to the develop module trouble began. First thing was when using the crop tool the picture would disappear and only reappear once I closed the tool. Then exposure and White balance changes would change the histogram but not the appearance of the photo. Finally clipping was also not appearing on the picture. I first reuploaded the photos. No effect. Then I reinstalled lightroom. No effect. Help please!

Erasing a config and vlan.dat file in Catalyst 4507R Switch

Hi,
I am unable to erase the configuration from Catalyst 4507R Switch.When i do "write erase" and reload the switch,the configuration still remains on the switch.
Switch1#write erase
Erasing the nvram filesystem will remove all configuration files! Continue? [confirm]
[OK]
Erase of nvram: complete
mp024-dc-nr00#sh start
startup-config is not present
After this i did reload and configuration still didn't get removed.
I tried
erase /all nvram:
reload
This also didn't help.
I also tried:
erase /all non-default
reload
This also didn't help.
Can anyone suggest how to erase the config on Catalyst 4507R Switch.
Thanks,

Hi Saroj,
do you see the below symtoms:
Cat4500# write erase
Erasing the nvram filesystem will remove all files! Continue? [confirm]y[OK]
Erase of nvram: complete
Cat4500# reload
System configuration has been modified. Save? [yes/no]: n
!--- Do not save the configuration at this prompt. Otherwise, the switch
!--- reloads with the current running configuration and does not reset to default.
Proceed with reload? [confirm]y
2w0d: %SYS-5-RELOAD: Reload requested
To erase the vlan.dat file on the 6500/6000 switches, issue the erase const_nvram: command. On the 4500/4000 switches, issue the erase cat4000_flash: command. On the fixed configuration switches, issue the delete flash:vlan.dat command.

Conecting etherchannel between cisco catalyst 6509 and hp procourve 9308

Impossible to connet 2 ports 1000base sx agrouped via etherchannel / lacp or pagp between a catalyst 6509 and a hp procourve 9308. Please do you know he best configuration? thanks in advance

Hola Luis,
the link would have to be LACP (since PAgP is Cisco proprietary). So, on the Cisco side, the config should look like this:
interface GigabitEthernet0/1
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode trunk
channel-group 1 mode on
interface GigabitEthernet0/2
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode trunk
channel-group 1 mode on
interface Port-channel1
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode trunk
On the HP side, check how the trunk group is configured there. I assume you have used the ´trunk deploy´ command after configuring the HP trunk group ? Also, which spanning-tree mode do you have running on the Cisco and the HP ?
Saludos,
GP

Catalyst 6509 VSS IOS upgrade

Hi,
We have a Catalyst 6509 VSS system, each chassis have 2 supervisor engines. The IOS version is 12.2(33)SXI4a. We should upgrade to 12.2(33)SXI12.
The following document mention 2 upgrade method : FSU & eFSU
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst6500/ios/12.2SX/configuration/guide/vss.html#wp1170391
We can not use eFSU due to the images with release dates more than 18 months apart, so we can use FSU only. And there is some note for FSU :
Note VSS mode supports only one supervisor engine in each chassis. If another supervisor engine resides in the chassis it will act as the DFC
It make me some confuse.... What is the correct procedule to upgrade the Caytalyst 6509 VSS IOS ( each chassis with 2 supervisor engine )?
Best Regards,

Hello Jackson,
Please take a on the next post which may answered your questions:

Intrachassis Availability
The initial release of the Cisco Virtual Switching System supports only a single supervisor per chassis. If a second, or redundant, supervisor is installed in an individual chassis then the redundant supervisor will not fully boot. The redundant supervisor will stop the boot process at the ROMMON stage.
In this configuration any device connected to the chassis in a single-homed, or single-attach, manner must rely on the availability of the single supervisor. Therefore the recommendation for connecting to the VSS is to always dual-attach devices.
As a result of the single supervisor per chassis support the recovery period for replacing a failed supervisor module is undeterministic in that the recover process requires manual intervention in order to install and initialize a new supervisor in the chassis.
Beginning in the 12.2(33)SXI4 software release, Quad-Sup Uplink Forwarding is supported which allows for a redundant supervisor to fully boot Cisco IOS Software, thereby providing a deterministic recovery option for redundant supervisors in a VSS chassis.
