Cisco 4506 Sup V Utlization

I have got 4506 Sup V with 10GE. On the Sup V engine there is something called Utlization and the bottom there is 1 2 3 4 5 6 7. Can any body tell me what is that about.
And also how to check the backplane utlization on a switch.

Hello,
according to the data sheet (see the link below), the LED's you see are used for the following:
Switch utilization load: 1- to 100-percent aggregate switching usage

Cisco 4506 Sup Engine IV

I have a cisco 4506 with supervisor Engine IV.Initially when i put the switch on the supervisor engine light turns orange.after some diagnosis i found out that one of the fans on the power supply wasnt functioning properly.when i remove this power supply and power the switch the sup engine turns green.However the ethernet interfaces and gigabit ethernet interfaces on the line card r down no traffic is being processed on the switch.what could be the problem.Is there a way u should configure the 4506 to process packets

Hi Kwak,
Oki now let us resolve it!!!
Yes by default all the ports are into vlan 1 so it depends if you want to assign the ports into any other vlan you have to create vlan first. But ports will remain in down down state till the the time you connect any network device to it. Can you please confirm if you have connected any device like workstation or any other device to any port.
All the ports remain in down down state if they are not active.
Try to connect some device it should work

Cisco 4506 getting restarted

I have Cisco 4506 with Sup V. It is has been joined with one of the VTP domain, but the switch is in Client mode. There are around 10 switches which are connecteing to that switch with trunk ports.
The switches which are connecting, some are in Transparent Mode and some in Client mode.
This switch is a root switch. The problem what I am facing with this switch is it has got hanged twice and restarted once. There is no config changes which are been made since it has been installed.
Can anybody please help me out.

have you physically changed the switch from one place to another, because even an voltage problem could also lead in such situationz, apart from this, you also try upgrading the OS in the switch. becuase changing the VTP domain it is not at all possible in making a switch getting restarted or hang.
rate this post if this information is helpful.

4506 & SUP V Management IP address question.....

Hello all, I have two questions. The new 4506 SUP V engines don't have the good old SCO interface that I'm used to. So, since it's running an IOS now instead of the old CATos, I figured I'l create a new vlan and then make it the management IP address by using the 'MANAGEMENT' command (like in the old 2900's). Well, that didn't work either, so my question is...on what int. do I configure the mgnt. IP address?
-thank you....

Russ,
In the current version (up to 2.1) the Management IPs for blades are required to belong to the same subnet as the Management Interfaces of the Fabric Interconnects. This is due to the way we proxy the KVM request from Management Interfaces to the Blades CIMC. In a future release we're investigating breaking the blade IPs into their own subnet/VLAN but this is a ways out - no committed date at this time.
We understand this puts quite a requirment on the size of the Management Subnet, but with proper design it shouldn't be much of an issue.

Robert

Cisco 4506 switch in Err-disable mode

I have a Cisco 4506 switch and its 10 gig interface is in error disable mode.I tried Shut and no shut the port couple of times but it transits from up to down number of times and then to error-disable. Did anyone else encountered this issue before. kindly advise the solution for the same. thanks

Hi Shariq,
Can you post the output of the show interface status err-disable ? That output contains the reason for putting your port into err-disabled state.
Best regards,

Can i lower cisco 4506 power consumption.

I just bought old cisco 4506 with SUP4 + 2x48GB 3x48FE poe and have a plan to use it in my small office. (>20 port GB used)
I heard this chassis is power sucker so i need to lower it power consumption. can you tell me what i can do? such as
shutdown module that i doesn't used.
shutown some switchport.
power off 2nd power supply.
or your guys has alternative way ex. Cisco EnergyWise?
Thanks

I'm using EnergyWise. I don't see any relevance as to WHY you would want to use it. I also don't see any information about your PoE requirement, hence, no comment on how you'd like to save money by powering down PoE.
The power requirement for the 4506 would, most likely, be LESS than getting six PoE switches individually.
I mean, if you don't use PoE, the line cards will only draw what is required. So trying to save money from energy consumption of the chassis won't make a lot of sense.

Juniper SSG 20 optical interface connection to Cisco 4506

Let me post the same issue to the Optical forum too:
Hello,
Here's the problem.
There's one Juniper SSG 20 firewall with JX-SFP-1GE-SX multimode fiber interface (850nm) (which I can control) and I have to connect it to Cisco 4506 switch which has WS-X4306-GB module and WS-G5484 GBIC interface (also multimode fiber).
SSG 20 shows link up. Cisco shows link down.
Unfortunatelly I don't have Cisco 4506 to play with, but I have to find solution for this system. Cisco 4506 show version is:
#show version

I was able to replicate issue with Cisco 3524 swtich (SSG20 shows link up, Cisco link down, physical down), and solution that I found was to enter interface level command: (config-if)#no negotiation auto. After this command, everything was showing state as "UP" and working as expected (there was traffic going through the optic)
When I suggested this command as a solution, administrator from the other side was claiming that this command returns "invalid input detected at ^ marker".
Can anyone tell me is there any known issue between those two products, and maybe alternative to this command, so I can turn off this IEEE 802.3z negotiation if that's the problem.
Thanks for assistance
Cheers
M.

So I found my solution, but I want to know why is like this.
The solution was to enter on Cisco the following command:
(config-if)#speed nonegotiate
From this link: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst6500/ios/12.1E/native/configuration/guide/sw_int.html
I can see on section: Configuring Link Negotiation on Gigabit Ethernet Ports that this command is doing negotiation exchange of flow-control parameters, remote fault information, and duplex information. Link negotiation is enabled by default.
And the funniest thing of all is, this speed nonegotiate command doesn't deal with the speed at all :)
Can someone confirm me what are remote fault information and flow control parameters

Configure VSS on cisco 4506-E With sup ws-x45-sup8-e

Hi There,
I want to configure VSS on 4506-E with sup card 8 (ws-x45-sup8-e). Currently 4506-E is having 3.3.0.x0 with ROM as 15.1(1r)sg1.
I am unable to configure VSS on this, i believe it is not support. Anyone help me on that.
Many Thanks

I believe VSS is not yet supported with IOS 3.3.X.
There's a new IOS scheduled for release by the end of June 2014. Not sure if VSS will be supported by then.

Cisco 4006 & 4506 sup engine

Hi,
My existing 4006 chassis is using Supervisor III (WS-X4014).
I have another 4506 chassis using Supervisor IV (WS-X4515) and a Netflow Services Card (WS-F4531) build on top of it.
I need Netflow Services Card in 4006, so can I just replace the Supervisor IV (WS-X4515) used in cisco 4006? Is it compatible with 4006?
Any suggestion?
Thanks,
HowYee

hi HowYee,
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/switches/ps5718/ps4324/product_data_sheet0900aecd8035cf2b.html
according to that document, it is not possible if you want to put supIV to 4006 chassis
Chassis and Line-Card Support
You can deploy the supervisor engine IV in single-chassis nonredundant mode in the Cisco Catalyst 4503, 4503-E, 4506, and 4506-E chassis. You can also deploy it in single-chassis redundant mode as an option in the Cisco Catalyst 4507R chassis (slots 1 and 2 only) and Cisco Catalyst 4507R-E/4507R+E chassis (slots 3 and 4).
The supervisor engine IV is compatible with the classic Cisco Catalyst 4500 and the E-series Cisco Catalyst 4500 Line Cards. Table 1 gives performance information for the Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Supervisor Engine IV.

Rommon upgrade on 4506 Sup 7-E

Hi!
I need to do a rommon upgrade on a Catalyst 4500 Supervisor Engine 7-E, to run "cat4500e-universalk9.SPA.03.06.02.E.152-2.E2.bin" is the "only" thing I need to do on the Sup:
1;upload the file, tftp the rommon file (cat4500-e-ios-promupgrade-150-1r-SG11)
2;reload?
with the command:
upgrade rom-monitor file bootflash:cat4500-e-ios-promupgrade-150-1r-SG11
Sorry, I have searched the internet but just want to be sure.
Thanks a lot for any help!

the upgrade rom-monitor is only on certain router models?
This command is only for routers.
Ok, so when upgrading on a 4506 you only need to put the file in the bootflash and reload, that's it?
I have no idea how to upgrade Sup6 and earlier. Sup7 & Sup8 has three methods of upgrading the IOS: One using telnet and two using remote connection.
SO I have no idea which method you're talking about because it's not as "straightforward" as it seems. The bootstrap file needs to be run FIRST before the IOS is run.
upgrade rom-monitor file bootflash:cat4500-e-ios-promupgrade-150-1r-SG11
This command won't work.

What am I missing?

Yes. Makes sense. You need to upgrade your 1400w Power Supply to something bigger. Here's the math:
Total 710 -- -- 590 412
You've got a 4506 chassis and populated six out of seven slots. With six slot loaded, the line cards pull up to 710w from your Power Supply. Now if you look at the Data Sheet for the WS-X4648-RJ45V+E line card it states that this particular line card can support up to 48 ports running 15.4w (or 24 ports at 30w PoE). The product of 30w & 24 ports is 720. So if you add up 720 and 710 you get a sum of 1430 which is OVER your 1400w Power Supply. This is the reason why the line card is complaining.
It doesn't matter if you've got a WS-X4648-RJ45V+E line card and you're going to, for example, plug 10 APs. When the line card is loaded into the chassis, the line card will immediately "chop" or "slice" 720w off the power supply. This is how it works.

Cisco 4506 Switch Hanging

I have got a 4506 switch with Sup V 10GE. This switch is in VTP domain, but in VTP transparent mode. I has got hanged twice, could anybody tell me the reason what could have happend.
There was no configuration change been done to that switch.

Hi Suresh,
CSCsb61172 can be confirmed by looking at the output of "show platform hardware interface all".
eg:
CAT4510#show platform hardware interface all
Global Hardware Gigaport State
RxIpg : 6
TxIpg : 264
FreeListCount : 329 <<<-----
Note that typical values of the free list count are between 20,000 and 64,000 depending on the traffic
being switched. A count of 329 above is too low and indicates a memory leak.
So if you see the number decreasing constantly, then you are running into this issue. The fix is in 12.2(25)EWA5, 12.2(31)SG, and higher.
HTH,
Bobby

If DHCP requests are storming through the clients you probably wanna look into rate-limiting DHCP requests via DHCP snooping.
