Cisco 3750 different models in stacked enviroment?

Will the c3750e-universalk9-mz.150-2.SE6.bin IOS on a Cisco Catalyst 3750X-48PF-E Switch and
the c3750-ipservicesk9-mz.150-2.SE6.bin IOS on a Cisco Catalyst 3750G-48PS Switch be able work in stacked mode?
For the 3750G switch there is no universal image. Im assuming that having a universal on the X series and ipservices on the G series would equate to each other for the different switch models. Is this correct?

Again, "universal" image's feature set depends on license.  As you have a 3750X IP Service license, effectively your universal image is an IP Services image.
Also again, you can mix IP Base and IP Services in the stack, but in your case, if you load an IP Services images on the 3750G, your two stack members will both be IP Services.
Yes, if you load the same IOS version on both switches, and they have IP Base or IP Services, they should work together.  (You can also mix different IOS versions, but StackPlus versions need to match - which is best accomplished by using same IOS version.)
BTW, although can mix StackWise and StackWisePlus 3750s, the former will cause loss of some Plus features.

  • Challenge: Spanning Tree Control Between 2 links from Switch DELL M6220 to 2 links towards 2 switches CISCO 3750 connected with an stack (behavior like one switch for redundancy)

    Hello,
    I have an Spanning tree problem when i conect  2 links from Switch DELL M6220 (there are blades to virtual machines too) to 2 links towards 2 switches CISCO 3750 connected with an stack (behavior  like one switch  for redundancy, with one IP of management)
    In dell virtual machine is Spanning tree rapid stp, and in 3750 is Spanning tree mode pvst, cisco says that this is not important, only is longer time to create the tree.
     I dont know but do you like this solutions i want to try on sunday?:
     Could Spanning tree needs to work to send one native vlan to negociate the bdpus? switchport trunk native vlan 250
    Is it better to put spanning-tree guard root in both 3750 in the ports to mitigate DELL to be root in Spanning Tree?
    Is it better to put spanning- tree port-priority in the ports of Swicht Dell?
    ¿could you help me to control the root? ¿Do you think its better another solution? thanks!

  • Cisco 3750 ping failures after stack upgrade

    I just updated my 4 stack of 3750X switches from 12.x IOS to 15.0.2 IOS. Only 2 of them updated correctly the first time, I had to manually update to the other 2. After getting all of them upgrade I restarted the entire stack.
    After that I cannot get PCs not on my default VLAN to talk to their DHCP servers or ping anywhere in the network. I get a "PING: transmit failed. General failure". I can however, ping into my default vlan from the switch and ping out to other locations from the switch.
    I've tried the following:
    Checking firewall status on several (WIN 7) pc's, it's off
    Changing ports on switch (no change)
    Restarting the PC (no change)
    Release/renew ipconfig (no change)
    flushdns (no change)
    clear ARP table on switch
    set un-set spanning-tree portfast (no change)
    check interface status (up and up)
    check vlan interface status (up and up)
    changed vlans (no change)
    checked VLAN help addresses (still there)
    Any help at this point is appreciated as my network is entirely down right now.

    I can set my laptop statically to a VLAN address, and I can ping out, get to the internet, ping between VLANs, etc. But if I just set a port (or leave it in the default VLAN) it will give me the “PING: transmit failed. General failure.” DHCP requests still aren’t getting fulfilled and even pings won’t go through if there’s not a statically set address. Nothing changed on my server configs and I even restarted my DHCP servers after encountered this problem. My guess is this is a new feature that’s turned on by default in the new IOS that needs to be disabled. Any help is appreciated.

  • MAC address flapping on 2 x Cisco 3750 (Stacked)

    Hi All,
    I am having some issue with my connectivity.
    The setup with HP virtual connect (VC) is as below:
    Server A NIC 1 -- VC 1 -- Switch A
                 NIC 2 -- VC 2 -- Switch A
    Server B NIC 1 -- VC 1 -- Switch A
                 NIC 2 -- VC 2 -- Switch A
    The VLAN configuration are done on individual NIC card on the servers and the switchport on Switch A facing the VC connect are all on trunk mode.
    Currently I am seeing MAC address flapping on my Switch. The switches are CISCO 3750 and are being stacked so it appears logically as 1 switch.
    Any idea what might be the problem?
    Below is an output of the flapping on the switch.
    %SW_MATM-4-MACFLAP_NOTIF: Host xxxx.xxxx.0637 in vlan 1 is flapping between port Gi2/0/3 and port Gi2/0/5
    %SW_MATM-4-MACFLAP_NOTIF: Host xxxx.xxxx.46eb in vlan 1 is flapping between port Gi1/0/5 and port Gi1/0/7
    %SW_MATM-4-MACFLAP_NOTIF: Host xxxx.xxxx.661d  in vlan 1 is flapping between port Gi2/0/15 and port Gi2/0/7

    Hi,
    Problem of MAC FLAP could resolve by following methods:.
    Check with the server providers to see if the OS and server platform support 'NIC' Teaming (NIC Bonding).
    FYI - NIC teaming allows users to group two or more physical NICs into a single logical network device called a bond. Once a logical NIC is configured, the virtual machine is not aware of the underlying physical NICs. Packets sent to the logical NIC are dispatched to one of the physical NICs in the bond and packets arriving at any of the physical NICs are automatically directed to the appropriate logical NIC. If one of the underlying physical NICs is broken or its cable has been unplugged, server will detect the fault condition and automatically move traffic to another NIC in the bond.
    Hope that help

  • Etherchannel two cisco 3750 stacks for iscsi?

    I have two sites connected by 96 strands of fibre. At each site I have an IBMv7000 relicating to the other one. For iSCSI traffic I have two Cisco 3750 switches, each are in 2 switch stack. 
    SAN A                         Fibre Link                          SAN B
            |                                                                        |

    My question: Is it ok to connect the the two stacks with etherchannel using the fibre links? Will is provide the necessary redundancy, if one of the interfaces goes down?

    What model numbers of 3750 are you using?
    What is the distance between the stacks as this will dictate your fiber run modules.

  • Stack issue on Cisco 3750

    Hi team,
    I have an issue with the stack basing on Cisco 3750 switches.
    Today on one of them, something went wrong and all ports are down.
    Could you please advise, what happened? In what direction I should work to find root cause?
    thank you

    Hi,
    I have found out what is the root cause.
    In stack, I have 4 switches:
    1. Member
    2. Master
    3. Member
    4. Member
    But right now I have next picture
    1. Member - status "Ready"
    2. Master - status "Ready"
    3. Member - status "Provisioned"
    4. Member - status "Ready"
    5. Member - status "Ready"
    I have checked MAC addresses, I have noticed, that member 3, became member 5.
    For resolving this issue, I just need make member 5 member 3, but I don't know how to do it exactly.
    My plan is:
    - remove member 3.
    - change number of the member 5 to member 3
    Is it correct?
    Thank you,

    Hi,
    I believe you have the problem with your no-nat configurations..... you to exempt NAT for the traffic from 172.16.10.0 (Anyconnect VPN pool) to 192.168.1.0/24 (Inside LAN) to make this work
    object network acvpnpool
    subnet <anyconnect VPN Subnet>
    object network insidelan
    subnet <inside lan subnet>
    nat (inside,outside) source static acvpnpool acvpnpool destination static insidelan insidelan
    Make sure that you are able to reach the GW/Inside ip adress of the firewall from LAN machine.... all routing in place properly..... Thanks!!!

  • ISCSI traffic running across Cisco 3750 Switches

    My customer has a small shop with 2 servers runnig iSCSI to a SAN device. They are looking for a switch recommendation and I would like to use a pair of Cisco 3750's, to take advantage of the VSS technology for redundancy,L3 and some other Core requirements, but I am concerned about performance.
    I thought my other option is to use 3750E's but concerned about the added costs.

    The fabric and pps ratings for the 3750Gs don't support wire-rate for more than 16 gig ports. (Max performance for 3750G models is 38.7 Mpps and 32 Gbps fabric; for 3750-E it's 101.2 Mpps and 128 Gbps fabric [NB: pps is enough, slightly insufficent fabric bandwidth for 48 port models - similar 4948 offers 102 Mpps, 136 Gbps].)
    Another performance limitation of the 3750s (and to lessor extent the 3750-Es) is stack ring bandwidth. As best I can tell, the 32 Gbps is really dual 8 Gbps duplex (dual 16 Gbps duplex for -Es). An important distinction between the original StackWise technology and the later StackWise+, the former puts a copy of all traffic on the stack, the latter suppresses unnecessary unicast. The former also requires the sender to remove the traffic from the stack ring, the latter the destination removes the traffic. (I.e. the "+" technology, really is plus.)
    For really, really demanding performance, a stack ring isn't the same as a chassis fabric (e.g. 4500s), and within a single switch, the lower end switch models, they can't always provide wire-rate for all their ports. However, the real question is whether you need this performance in a small shop even though iSCSI is being used.
    In other words, its rare to see all ports demanding full bandwidth, so a stack of 48 port 3750Gs migtht work just fine for your customer if the actual need doesn't require more than the device can supply.
    In similar situations, I present the customer with such facts. Based on what the expected load is, device "A" might work fine, but it can't guarantee performance beyond a certain level. If customer wants the capability for more performance, for growth or "just to be safe", can do too, here's your options (and extra cost) for that too.
    BTW, if SAN devices can support 10gig, then you'll need something better than the 3750G since the model with a single 10gig port has been discontinued.

  • Best way to connect 2 Cisco 3750 PoE 24-port Switches

    Hello. I have 2 Cisco 3750 PoE 24-port switches in a small office environment. Right now I have a trunk configured off my ASA 5505 to switch 1, and then just an access port configured on a port (switch 1) and an access port configured on a port (switch 2) to connect them together. These switches also have 2 GB SFP ports but they are not being used in this configuration.
    I was curious to know if anyone had any better recommend configurations for connecting these 2 switches together? I'm not sure if this particular model can be stacked? 

    What are the exact model numbers (should be written on a sticker)?
    You will know if they can be stacked as you will see the 2x stack ports on the back of each switch :)
    If they can then that is probably the way to go unless you want to keep them as separate switches for some reason.
    If you want them separate, I would connect them via a Trunk link at least so you can have the same Vlans on both.
    Thanks

  • Cisco 3750 Ghost Multicast Issues

    We are having problems with Symantec Ghost 8.0 (Solution Suite 1.0) multicast sessions autonegotiating and transmitting at 10MB half duplex over stacked 10/100 Catalyst 3750s (WS-C3750-48PS-E). Both sides of the connection are set to autonegotiate. The clients will connect at 100MB full duplex and start the multicast session but then we will immediately see one port on the 3750 drop to 10MB half duplex and log thousands of collisions. If we kill the session and drop that system out of the mulicast and retransmit, then another port will automatically drop to 10MB half duplex as soon as the data starts to push. We use the same NIC chipset and NDIS drivers for Ghost throughout our entire operation but are only having this problem with two switches in the stack (7 total). If this were an overall incompatibility issue between the NDIS driver we're using (Broadcom 57xx), ghost, and the Cisco IOS then why do we not see this behavior on all of our switches? Our operation is too large (university) to hard code 100MB full duplex on both sides of the connection so we really need autonegotiation to work. We do not see any collisions on these switches when we are not using Ghost multicast. CPU and memory utilization on the 3750s are normal while the session is transmitting. We've tried the suggested fixes from Symantec (which really only included messing arround with TTL values on the ghost server end) and different versions of NIC drivers to no avail.

    There are multiple clients receiving the mcast stream and each time a different client/port has the problem. All it takes is one port throttling down to slow the ghost multicast for the entire session (effectively a 15GB image which should take 40min to ghost at 100MB full duplex takes 4.5 hours to complete). IGMP snooping is working as far as I can tell. We're not seeing any multicast or broadcast packet floods during the ghost session and I'm seeing the IGMP, CGMP, and PIMv2 communications happening between the switches and routers via packet sniffs. We aren't doing any deliberate bandwidth throttling at all (QoS not enabled).
    We've circumvented the Cisco switches in question with several different portable switches from other manufacturers and can image out fine at 100MB full duplex. As I stated in my original post, we can also ghost through other 3750s in the same stack with no problem. I also have two other floors in our building that use stacked Catalsyst 3750s and we have no issues with them as well.
    We're not getting any packet loss or corruption. Just reduced throughput.

  • Same Editing domain for different model descriptor

    Background :
    We have three different Ecore model A, B, C
    where C holds reference to A and B
    where B holds reference to A
    Each model have there own editors and serialized to individual files.
    Issue facing or not clear:
    We are using Sphinx framework, where we have defined there own model-descriptors for A,B and C
    On trying to retrieve the editingdoamin,
    i.e TransactionalEditingDomain getEditingDomain(IModelDescriptor modelDescriptor)
    it returns different for eobjects of A, B and C.
    Due to this undo/redo and sync of the UI not happening.
    Is it possible to get one common or shared editingdomain for all the model. Any hints would be helpful.
    Regards
    BG

    Thanks for the feedback, please find my comments.
    Hi,
    It is very strange that you end up with different editing domains for your 3 Ecore models. Normally, when you have set up a correctly configured metamodel descriptor, Sphinx ALWAYS loads ALL files that contain instances of the metamodel in question into the SAME workspace-wide shared transactional editing domain.
    In order to be able to help you, I need to know more details about what you have done and intend to do:
    > Background :
    > We have three different Ecore model A, B, C
    > where C holds reference to A and B
    > where B holds reference to A
    Do you mean literally EMF Ecore models or your own model files that are based on a custom metamodel defined with Ecore?
    Byre : We have modelled three different custom model using ecore_diagram, to our domain requirement like manager.ecore, dependent.ecore and configure.ecore
    depenedent.ecore has reference to manager.ecore i.e Eobject in depenedent referes to Eobject in manager
    configure.ecore has reference to both depeendent.ecore and manager.ecore
    Do you have 3 models in the sense of the Sphinx IModelDescriptors or just 3 different model files?
    Byre : Apologies here, we have 3 different IMetaModelDescriptors not Imodeldescriptors, with unique uri and namespace of ecore model
    > Each model have there own editors and serialized to individual files.
    What kind or editors?
    Byre : Its a form based editors extending the "BasicTransactionalFormEditor" of sphinx
    Are they Sphinx-based or do you mean the traditional model editors generated by EMF?
    Byre : We have generated only model and edit code not the editor, its custom form editor which is extending the BasicTransactionalFormEditor. We have explorer also which use ExtendedCommonNavigator to show the content of all the 3 models with transient nodes
    > Issue facing or not clear:
    > We are using Sphinx framework, where we have defined there own
    > model-descriptors for A,B and C
    Do you mean IMetaModelDescriptors? The IModelDescriptors are automatically created by Sphinx and don't need to be provided by adapters.
    Byre : Exactly its Imetamodeldescriptors, which we need to specify else the it would fail saying no metamodeldescriptors found
    > On trying to retrieve the editingdoamin,
    > i.e TransactionalEditingDomain getEditingDomain(IModelDescriptor
    > modelDescriptor)
    > it returns different for eobjects of A, B and C.
    Byre : To be more precise we have eclipse project, where all the three models resides. Via Navigator when try to open the models which would open in their respective individual form editors.
    i,e Manger Editor, Dependent Editor and Configuration Editor
    Exact problem : We have certain data of manger editor displayed in configuration editor, now via EMF command if any changes made related to manager model in configuration editor it does not updates the value in manager editor or makes that editor dirty.
    On analyzing deeper we found the each editor had its own editing doamin which executed commands on respective editing domain stacks.
    Do you mean org.eclipse.sphinx.emf.util.WorkspaceEditingDomainUtil.getEditingDomain(IModelDescriptor)?
    Byre : Yes, On digging deeper we saw that it invokes ModelDescriptor(IMetaModelDescriptor mmDescriptor, TransactionalEditingDomain editingDomain, IResourceScope resourceScope) thrice for each model browsed.
    > Is it possible to get one common or shared editingdomain for all the
    > model. Any hints would be helpful.
    As I said, this is the default behavior of Sphinx. When everything is alright then it is hardly possible to make it happen that Sphinx loads instance files of the same metamodel into different editing domains.

    List price in the US is the same as for the 1000BASE-ZX GBIC (Cisco product number WS-G5487=)
    It's possible that the information you have found has not been updated yet. I believe the ZX SFPs were among the last ones to become available. The Release Notes in the link below are the first ones to mention this SFP, they refer to it as "new hardware" (versus the SX and LX SFPs):
    Release Notes for the Catalyst 3750 Switch Cisco IOS Release 12.1(14)EA1 July 2003

    Hope this helps.

  • Throughput of Cisco 3750-E

    Hi,
    Can anyone let me know the actual throughput of Cisco 3750-E (WS-C3750E-24TD-S) Standalone switch and the throughput when stacked with 4 nos of WS-C3750E-24TD-S ?
    Is WS-C3750E-24TD-S ports oversubscribed?
    Sam.

    I think the 68 Gbps backplane supports the 48g port variants plus two 10g ports; i.e. 48+10+10=68.
    What's a bit confusing, fabric specifications are normally "doubled" to allow for duplex ports but Cisco, in the posted spec uses the term "backplane" rather than "fabric".
    Also confusing, when stacked, there's a pair of 16g stack ports too.  It's unclear whether the same backplane or fabric bandwidth is shared with those, or whether there's additional capacity to support them too.  I.e. the 3750-E might support wire rate bandwidth when used standalone but might not when stacked.
    In any case, when 3750-E units are stacked, the stack ring can be a potential bottleneck.  Fortunately, besides StackWisePlus offering twice the stackport bandwidth of StackWise, it also supports (for unicast) destination stripping and also (for unicast) only puts traffic on the stack ring when it must.  Still, again, it's a potential bottleneck.  It's also a ring, not a fabric.
    PS:
    Besides bandwidth, you need to check a switch's PPS capacity.  I believe the 3750-E has sufficient PPS it can generally support wire rate.
    However, one common problem with 2960/3560/3750 series switches is lack of RAM for deep buffering.  The 3750 series, I understand, to have 2 MB per 24 copper ports and 2 MB for the uplink ports.
    The 3750 stacks are often fine for user edge ports, often not so fine for more demanding roles.
    PPS:
    Also believe the 3750-E is end-of-life and end-of-sale.

  • Does Verizon ever provide a different model phone if the customer has basically had the same issues with 3 prior 'replacemet' (refurbished) phones?

    I have owned a Samsung Galaxy Stellar for the about the past year and a half, which is only my second smartphone. I am not a whiz at all this but I'll try to be coherent. I had problems with the Stellar  from the beginning: Very slow loading browser, problems with the cursor, etc. After about 6 months, the phone dropped, and no, I didn't throw it on the ground!
    I have insurance and it was still under warranty, so it was replaced, by Assurian, I believe. The replacement phone had the same problems, plus a whole lot more. During calls, the wifi, and/or Bluetooth options would appear, or the phone would suddenly go on mute. In addition, when I tried to access my voicemail, what I heard was my own voice and outgoing message, not the one from Verizon asking for the password. These problems were intermittent, which made the Verizon employees  dubious, but it's like the car that you take to the garage that suddenly works fine. Anyway, there were some other problems too, so I got a replacement phone again, which is the phone I currently have had for about 3 months. A few days ago it went from bad to worse. In fact it went Crazy!: Every call I make or receive is immediately dropped. Maybe after 5 or 6 tries, I can  complete a call, but rarely. When I do, the mute and speaker options spontaneously activate, at the same time!!  When I go into my voicemail, the messages are deleted in rapid fashion, one after the other, and I cannot get them back.   Or, as I said earlier, the Wifi/Bluetooth screens appear, and it's difficult to punch in any numbers as I have to hit the back arrow many times. Strangely, the phone makes odd sounds: It buzzes or makes this odd chiming sound! If I didn't know better, I would think that I have finally lost my mind! I could go on but you have the gist.  The phone is simply not workable. I  phoned tech support, and she was very nice. After an hour on the phone, it worked ok, until the following day. She didn't do a factory reset, but she had me take the sim card and battery out. She did things on her end, which unfortunately I don't recall, but the phone worked ok until the following day, when it went crazy again.
    I took it to the corporate Verizon store where I live, The guy said "It's a lousy phone, a cheap, bottom of the line phone." By the way, throughout this time, I had had about 6 hours with tech support, between this phone and the last one.
    THIS IS MY QUESTION: I asked him if I could have a totally different phone, since this model is clearly defective. He said no, but they could send me another replacement. He told me to call trech support  while I was there in the store and ask them, because they don't do repairs at the store. The tech on the phone  told me the issue is with my Gmail account! That there is a virus on some phones and each time I get a replacement phone, because I have kept the same Gmail account, the virus keeps getting 'transferred', for lack of a better word, to the next phone. I was totally incredulous. Virus? She said, "Well, I use the  term loosely, but it's just a weird glitch.When you get a replacement phone, bring it back and we'll save and upload all your data, and set  you up with a new email account." I was confused and annoyed, as I had never heard of this, and felt I was getting the runaround. I asked her if they could give me a different phone (free of charge) and of course the answer was no. By the way, I should mention that the Stellar is no longer made. These are my options, according to the 3 different Verizon employees I spoke with: I am eliblele for the early upgrade which they call the Edge. From what I understand, it's the full retail price paid out over 2 years, with a partial payment made at time of purchase. One person told me that after 24 months, they would accept what I paid as payment in full? Sounds too generous. Option 2 is $50 of a new phone, and option 3 is to buy a new phone at a Verizon store that is having an android sale. So, I acquiesced to getting another replacement which I will keep until I buy a new totally different phone. My impression is that it's not like buying a bad toaster. They don't refund your money and let you get whatever you want for the same price! My question is this: Does Verizon ever just replace a phone that has had problems, with a totally different model? I have made as much of a stink as I can muster towards that end, but I am wondering if anyone out there has actually been able to pull that off?
    Thank you for any feedback ,comments or stories!

        amysue, We defintely want you to have a reliable and working phone. Our apologies that you have had issues with the current model, the Galaxy Stellar. After reviewing information about the overall function of the phone, it does not appear that Samsung has recalled the device or stated that all Stellar devices are defective, with that being said, the warranty would still only cover the same make and model. The only time a completely different phone is sent out is if the manufacturer deems the entire make and model overall faulty. It is common to have a few glitches and a master/factory reset, in addition to all other troubleshooting, will help resolve these issues. The Stellar is no longer made because there have been several Samsung galalxy devices launched, and this is common with any device manufacturer. Our recommendation is to take advantage of EDGE, if you are seeking a new device with low monthly payments. This gives you the chance to explore different device options without having a contract and you can EDGE up to a new device once meeting certain requirements. We hope to resolve your concerns here or by calling customer support.
