Catalyst Express 500 802.1q with non-Cisco Phones

This weekend we spent hours trying to get 802.1q tagging to work on a VLAN with ShoreTel phones. The user interface on this switch seems to only allow "Cisco-Voice" VLAN, without any specifics. This didn't work. The specs on this switch say that the .1q is supported, but we couldn't figure it out. The more expensive switches were easier to configure for Voip QoS.
Can anyone advise me on the tricks to getting this to work with the lower end Catalyst Express 500? Or does this switch only support 802.1q with Cisco phones?

Cisco IP Phone uses CDP to let the ip phone know what vlan it's suppose to be (via voice-vlan). shore tel would definitely not use CDP since CDP is cisco proprietory, so it's voice vlan must be defined on it, I rememer Avaya being the same way. So, having said that, just make sure that the Shore tel Ip phone are in the right vlan. what does not work anyway? shore Tel IP Phone will not come up? Will not get it's configuration from it's software PBX? Use the smartport configuration on CE500.

  • Stacking a non-Cisco Switch with a Catalyst Express 500 switch

    We are using a Cisco Catalyst Express 500 Ethernet switch and need to add another switch to get a few more ports. Is is possible to stack a Catalyst Express 500 Ethernet switch with a non-Cisco Ethernet switch. If so, is there any Cisco documentation telling how to do this?

    If by stack, you mean connect the two switches via Ethernet ports, yes you should be able to do that. Depending on the port capabilities of the switches, and whether they have any special uplink ports, you might need to use a different Ethernet connecting cable (cross-over vs. straight thru).

    Hi Saher,
    Here is the comparisons of the two switches;
    Cisco Catalyst Express 500-24LC Switch
    Twenty 10/100 ports for desktop connectivity and four 10/100 Power over Ethernet ports to connect and power wireless access points, IP telephony, or closed-circuit TV cameras. Includes two 10/100/1000BASE-T or Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) ports for uplink or server connectivity.
    Cisco Catalyst Express 500-24TT Switch
    Twenty-four 10/100 ports for desktop connectivity and two 10/100/1000BASE-T ports for uplink or server connectivity.

  • Need that a Cisco Catalyst Express 500 behaves as cheap switch

    Need that a Cisco Catalyst Express 500 behaves as  cheap switch.
    I happen to have a surplus of CE500 and i need to use one as a layer 2 cheap switch (unaware of lan and with port protection off).
    How can i achive this?

    That's the thing, i'm sitting on several CE500, i'm not allowed to buy a cheap one right now, i have to use what i have, i know is too much but it should work and i read that it does, there is only one problem, i need to plug a access point to the CE500 that connect this section of my network to the rest.
    I can't make the CE500 to work with this AP, a cheap switch i had there before worked properly.

  • Catalyst Express 500 Series WS-CE500-24PC PoE

    Inline power (PoE)
    Can some one confirm PoE Spec's and a little confused reading the spe'c
    the spec say
    ●All 24 PoE ports on the Cisco Catalyst Express 500-24PC can supply up to 15.4W
    (IEEE 802.3af standard maximum) of power over Category 5 cable, for a total of 370W
    of inline power.
    ● Both the IEEE 802.3af PoE standard and Cisco prestandard inline power are supported
    I have cisco 7940G witch are Prestandard so this switch will power the Phones on PoE ?
    does not say it will supply PoE for Prestandard Phones just say its Supported
    Thanks

    Hi Colin,
    Yes, the switch will power prestandard 7940s. Specs state it works on both 802af and cisco prestandard poe.
    Best,

    I have this one for IOS 12.2(25)FY http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6545/products_configuration_example09186a00806da6c9.shtml

    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:

  • POE for Aironet 1131 on Catalyst Express 500

    Hi all,
    we are using 3 AP Aironet 1131 (Version 12.4(10b)JA3) in a WDS. All are connected to a Switch Catalyst Express 500 to receive their Power. The Problem is they work for some time and the the AP reloads without further errormessage.
    Speed and Duplex mode are fixed on Switch and AP-Side. Does anybody now this problem or can give me a hint?
    Thanks in Advance
    Alex

    This can happen if power settings are configured incorrectly on the AP. Ensure that the correct parameters are configured. Here is a link which explains how to configure power on APs.
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/12.3_2_JA/configuration/guide/s32frst.html#wp1103896
    Also, try disabling CDP and check if you are seeing the issue again.

  • Catalyst Express 500 - Cannot configure

    I just reset the Catalyst Express 500 (WS-CE500-24TT V01) switch back to factory default by using the directions “Recover the Switch Software” in the manual.
    After rebooting I cannot get to into the Setup Windows. It does not come up, either automatically or typing a URL in Internet Explorer. I went thru the trouble shooting section on the manual and I am having no luck.
    Originally when I set up the switch and I was able to get to the Setup window thru Internet Explorer, however the configuration did not save properly or seemed so. After I configured and rebooted I could not access the management screen using IE.
    I rebooted hit the setup button and then could not get in, I even typed a domain name such as cisco.com, this also did not work. I reset the switch as stated above to factory default. I have Pop-up blocker off, no firewall is on.
    Do you have any ideas on how to resolve the problem? Bottom line I cannot get into the management console to configure the switch.

    Hello,
    this is just a guess, but if you are using IE6, you might want to install the Microsoft Virtual Machine, you can download it at
    www.craftof.com/VirtualMachine.asp
    Uncheck the Sun Java VM in IE6...
    Regarding the recovery procedure, did you use exactly the one described below ?

  • Can cisco MSE(mobility service engine) configured to work with non-cisco access points?

    I understand that access points can be configured to forwards all the probe requests to cisco wifi controller. cisco MSE(mobility service engine) gets the probes from wifi controller to find the location of the mobile devices.
    My question, can cisco MSE(mobility service engine) be configured to work with non-cisco access points?

    No and the reason why is the NMSP communication from the MSE to the WLC. Other vendors don't support this so there is no communication happening.

  • Auto Smartports with non-Cisco devices

                       I have used auto smartports in the past and have been successful creating macros that use mac-addresses.
    My question is can I create a macro that works with non-Cisco devices that are CDP capable? 
    We have Motorolla access points that use CDP and I would like to use auto smartports to put them on their own VLANs.
    Can it be done using CDP?  What version of the IOS would I need to be on?  Currently the 3750-Xs are on 12.2.(55).
    Are there any guides or configuration examples?  I've searched but have been unsuccessful in find anything so far.
    I have seen some articles that reference device sensors and device profiles, but have no idea where to begin.
    Thanks in advance for your support.

    You may need to create a Cisco TAC case for this.
    If not, then move this thread to the EEM section.  If the Moto AP supports CDP then you can get someone (like Joe Clark) to build a small EEM script.
    EEM is supported up to the 3560/3750.

  • Can WAE be integrated with non-cisco devices?

    So far, all documentation that I read, WAE is used in conjunction with Cisco devices.  Can WAE be integrated with non-cisco devices? 
    I guess, In-line mode should work ok, but how about off-path mode?  An example or link will be appreciated.
    Thanks!
    Joe

    Hi Joe,
    It should be possible to use WAAS with non-cisco routers, as long as they support WCCP.
    There are no documents on this because, the configuration from WAAS point of view would be the same, and the router configuration would depend on the vendor.

  • When I send a text message to my two children with non-smart phones, the message comes throug blank. When I send a message to them one at a time it will go through but not multiple addresses. Can this problem be fixed?

    When I send a text message on my iPhone 4s to my two children with non-smart phones, the message comes through blank. If I send it to each one individually, it will go through ok. Is this a problem with my phone or it is something I am doing wrong.

    Check your phone to make sure MMS is turned on. If it is, check with your cell provider and make sure your phone is provisioned correctly.

  • 802.1x problem with non-Cisco IP Phone, VVID enabled.

    I am testing with a 3750 PoE switch running 12.2(25)SEE1 and trying to configure 802.1x to work with Mitel IP phones.
    I have voice and data vlans configured on each port. Turning on 802.1x causes the phone to hang and timeout in DHCP Discovery. The port status from the switch is "Unauthorized".
    interface FastEthernet1/0/2
    switchport access vlan 1
    switchport mode access
    switchport voice vlan 2
    dot1x pae authenticator
    dot1x port-control auto
    no mdix auto
    spanning-tree portfast
    end
    Should anything be configured besides the Voice VLAN to let phones onto the network? There is no computer behind the phone right now. The only information I can find says I need a VVID, and any clients behind it will cross the PVID.
    Thanks.

    Yes it does.
    Apparently the Mitel phones (testing a 5215 dual-mode) we have support EAP-MD5, but we have a primarily PEAP/EAP-TTLS environment. Apparently the phones need to use a username/password entered on each phone before they will send that to a Radius server doing EAP-MD5. Our PEAP clients authenticate to a Microsoft Radius server, and our EAP-TTLS to a Funk box. Hopefully the Microsoft can support both EAP-MD5 phones and PEAP on the laptops, I'll have to find out.
    I was hoping this was a quick and easy Cisco configuration error... oh well.
