Cisco 4507 Catalyst switch goes down

Hi,
    We have  cisco 4507 catalyst switch in which end users are connected. today this catalyst switch goes down , i checked the input power was normal but the Switch is not running. All the notification lights like supervisior engine and Fan status lights are showing in RED colur . So i switched off the SMPS and wait for some time and i switched ON , the switch starts running and in 3-4 minutes it again goes down.  
Thanks and Best Regards,

  Get on the console port and watch it while it is booting up.  It will usually tell you why it is failing in the logs or messages as it is booting up .

  • High response time on one line card in Cisco 6513 Catalyst Switch

    I am facing a wierd issue with one of the line card in the Cisco 6513 switch. All the servers, desktops and trunks connected to this line card are showing high response time (>500ms) locally. But those IP phones connected to the same line card is working fine and the repsonse time is always 1ms. I am unable to find any root cause as i am not seeing any errors or logs, please help me to fidn the root cause.
    Anyway i ahve a plan to reboot the line card and test it, but i am just looking for a fix that would help us to avoid the reboot.

    What supervisor are you running ?
    Be aware that the 6548 module is quite heavily oversubscribed and you could be running into this ie. servers will definitely be sending a lot more data than an IP phone.
    The 6548 has an 8Gbps connection the switch fabric (note this is assuming a sup 720). So you have 48 1Gbps ports going in (in = from end devices) and only 8Gbps going out (out = to the switch fabric). Each group of 6 ports shares a 1Gbps connection the switch fabric. So lets says on one of those groupings you had 6 servers with 1Gbps connections. If only three of these servers were sending out 400Mbps of data each you have contention because 3 x 400Mbps = 1.2Gbps and you only have 1Gbps to the switch fabric.
    If this is the problem there are a couple of solutions -
    1) you can look into how the devices are spread across the port groupings and maybe you could move things around to make the traffic more even among port groupings. However you mention servers and trunks so you could just end up with the same problem but also the phones are not working either.
    2) you can look to migrate some connections off that module onto another but this supposes you have spare capacity elsewhere. If those trunk links are connected to other switches then you would defintely want to look into moving these as the 6548 was never intended to be used as an uplink module between switches.
    3) you could upgrade the module to something like a 6748 (or whatever the latest is as they keep introducing new ones) which has a much better connection to the switch fabric. Again this assumes a sup720 as the 6748 would't work with a sup32.
    However don't just rush into 3) without first doing some investigation work eg. what do the servers do, how much traffic are they churning out etc.  Have you looked at the interface stats for each connection to see if you are getting drops etc ?

  • Cisco 6500 Catalyst switch has reset/rebooted on its own

    We expereinced one of our backbone catalyst 6500 switch got reloaded on its own.no particular information in the log.The software version is 6.3 (5)
    Is there any chance one port/server NIC can make whole switch to go down.

    Atleast in this crash, it cannot be rootc aused since there is no stack info. But we had few bugs due to which stack would not be written to sh log output. So if you are confident that there were no power/UPS issues, you might want to consider upgrading to general deployment release 7.6(17)

  • Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 Alarms (switch port down)

    We have a cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 managing switches, routers and AP.
    By default, when a port of a switch goes down, the cisco Prime Infrastructre generates a Critical Alarm for that. (this is a problem, because every phone of laptop disconnection will generate a critical alarm for me)
    I found out that if we go to Administration --> Alarm Severity --> Link down, I can change the Alarm from Critical to another type of alarm.(ex: warning)
    The problem is that I want to keep the Critical Alarm for my Uplinks ports and for some important switch ports, and I would like to make the alarm as warning for the normal user ports.
    I know that I can create Port Groupping and add ports to each group and apply monitoring templates on those groups. But This couldn't Help me solving my alarm problem.
    So I just need to know how to manage the alarms severity for each group of ports.
    Thank you

    Hi,
    Same problem here.
    I am using Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 (evaluation version for 60 days). I want to deploy port monitoring for my trunk ports between switches and some other important ports e.g. servers. Basically I want to get alarms when these ports are down, there are errors on ports and etc.
    So in Design>Port Grouping I created User Defined group with important ports. In Deploy>Monitoring Deployment I selected Interface Health (default)>Deploy selected Port Groups and when selected port group I created.
    Now the rule shows Deployed: Yes and Status: Active. After that I just pulled out one port which was in monitored group, waited 5min as it is set in Interface Health (default) template, and nothing happened, and worse, alarms started to show up of other ports where regular users are connected (computers was turned off), which I do not want to see at all. I tried redeploy template, I even created my own template but still no desired result.
    Any suggestions how to make port monitoring work?

  • Cisco 2950 l2 switch console problen

    Hi all, I got 2 old Cisco 2950 catalyst switch yesterday. But when I try to open console of both switches I am getting only blank terminal. I tried to open with putty and scureCRT, I tried another console cable, tried on another PC, but no luck. 
    I think previous owners might have disabled console. So is there any other way to take console or delete start-up conf file??

     Hello,
    I don't have a 2950 around to test, but as far is I know disabling the console is achieved issuing the "no exec" command on the console line, so it is a command in the start-up config. Therefore booting the switch in the rescue image should not take into account that command, so the console should be available in that mode. Have you tried that? To do so hold down the MODE button located on the left side of the front panel, while you reconnect the power cable to the switch. Release the Mode button after approximately 5 seconds when the Status (STAT) LED goes out. When you release the Mode button, the SYST LED blinks amber. 
    Here is the rest of the procedure:
    http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/switches/catalyst-2950-series-switches/12040-pswdrec-2900xl.html 
    PS:  I presume you are using the correct COM port and terminal settings, however I mention them bellow just to make sure:
    Bits per second (baud): 9600
    Data bits: 8
    Parity: None
    Stop bits: 1
    Flow Control: Xon/Xoff  (or none, in some documents)
    You can check if you are using the correct COM port in System Tools/Device Management if you are using a Windows device. 
    If this doesn't work check if the flash card can be removed (not sure on that old model), perhaps you can use it in other device and delete the startup config.

  • VLAN's, subinterface, access-lists and 3560 catalyst switch?

    Hi,
    How can I isolate VLAN 121 from all others?
    I have a cisco 2811 router connected to a 3560 catalyst switch which has 5 VLAN's of which I need to protect IP traffic of 4 from 1.
    The following VLANs configured on the switch:
    VLAN 0 192.168.132.0 /24
    VLAN 135 ..135.0 /24
    VLAN 137 ..137.0 /24
    VLAN 139 ..139.0.24 and lastly,
    VLAN 121 192.168.121.0 /24 which I wish to isolate all IP from VLAN 0, 135, 137, and 139 but have internet out the 2811's other interface. Currently all VLAN's and routing are working perfectly.
    I need some advice please. Here is my plan:  to split the FA0/0 into FA0/0.1 for VLAN 121 using dot1q and apply an access-list to deny 192.168.121.0 to the FA0/0 interface. Since I'm essentially creating VLAN's with the router can or will that interfere with the Switch VLAN configuration? router on a stick vs. a Layer 4 Cisco 3560 Catalyst switch?
    Thank you!

    I will have to assume VLAN 0 is the native VLAN / default interface on the router?  All VLANs are numbered native or not.  Just ensure the VLAN numbering matches between the router and the trunking on the switch.
    Yes, you could create a sub interface on the 2811 and use the router to route the VLAN.  Apply an access list on the other interfaces to block access to the VLAN you want to protect.  If you have routing enabled on the 3560 as well you would complicate the situation a bit more.

  • Cisco 3925 router with an ATM E3 card that never goes down!

    Hi all,
    We a Cisco 3925 router with an ATM E3 card (NM-1A-T3/E3) configured as below with 1 PVC. we see that the ATM subinterface we created for the PVC never goes down! not even when the WAN link is down! The problem with this is we are tracking the line protocol of the ATM sub interface to have VRRP failover to standby router. But because of this issue only BGP goes down whenever the WAN is down & line-protocol of the Subinterface remains up, the failover never happens & site is down. We can configure VRRP to track reachability of a BGP route as workaround but I would like an explanation or troubleshooting steps to check whats the trouble with current setup?

    Your router has some configuration on it already and it would help us give you better advice if we knew what is already in the configuration. So would you post the output of show running-config (if there is sensitive information like addresses and passwords you can mask them out.
    Changing the configuration register was a good start. I have a couple questions/observations that may help you get started. I notice what appears to be the same public IP address on Gig0/0 and on multilink. Did you get that address from your ISP? If so what kind of connection do you have to the ISP?
    In your description you tell us that Gig0/0 is connected to a small switch, which I assume is for the LAN of your network. But that also is the interface where the public address is configured. So I am confused whether this interface is for LAN or for connecting to the ISP. Can you clarify this?

  • The difference of the IEEE802.1x Auth between Cisco Routers and Catalyst switches

    Hello
    I am investigating the difference of the IEEE802.1x Auth between Routers and Switches.
    Basically dot1x auth is availlable on Catalyst Switches. however if I want to check to
    PortBased Multi-Auth , MAC address Auth and any certification Auth with this feature,
    Is it possible to integrate into Cisco Router such as Cisco 891F ?
    In my opinion Cisco891F is also available to use basic IEEE802.1x but if it compares with Catalyst switches such as Cat3560X
    I think there might be any unsupported feature on Cisco 891F.
    I appreciate any information. thank you very much in advance.
    Best Regards,

    Many time in interviews asked comaprison between cisco  routers and switches that i was answerless bcoz i dont have much knowledge about that.Can anyone provide me the compariosin sheet of the same.how are the cisco devices differ with each other how much Bandwidth each routres support and Etc...
    Ummmm ... The most common question I get is "what is the difference between a router and a switch".
    However, if you get a question like this, then my impression to this line of questioning are:
    1.  The candidate they are looking for has in-depth knowledge of routers and switches.  And I mean IN-DEPTH!;
    2.  They are not looking for a candidate.  They just want to stroke their ego.  There is not alot of people who can give you the "names and numbers" of routers and switches at a snap of a finger.  And if you do happen to know the answer, then and there, then expect a tougher follow-up question. 

  • Connection of LC/APC fiber patch cords to Cisco Catalyst 6500 $ Cisco Access 3750 Switches

    I have an LC/APC fiber patch cord infrastructure and I want to connect it to Cisco Catalyst 6500 & Cisco Access 3750 Switches. what type of transceiver should be used?
    I read a note on Cisco website stating the following for Cisco SFP+ transceivers:
    Note: "Only connections with patch cords with PC or UPC connectors are supported. Patch cords with APC connectors are not supported. All cables and cable assemblies used must be compliant with the standards specified in the standards section"

    Thank you,  but my question is that I have a single mode fiber patch cord with LC/APC connector while cisco stating a note that only use LC/PC or LC/UPC type of connectors with SFP+ transceiver.  
    So what type of transceiver should I use to connect LC/APC patch cord to cisco switches?  Is there another type or SFP+ still can be used?

  • Cisco Catalyst switch

    Hi,
    Can I know the answer for the following questions?
    1. What is the maximum MAC-address entry per Catalyst switch?
    2. Is there specific interval that I need to wait before issuing snmp polling to the switch after the LAN port turned into “green”?

    1. Depends on the Switch/Supervisor you have. For example Sup1/2 in a CAT6500 can have upto 128k MAC addresses
    http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/765/tools/quickreference/catalyst6000supervisors.pdf
    4k Supervisors can have upto 32k
    http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/765/tools/quickreference/catalyst4000supervisors.pdf
    3750/3560 can have upto 12k
    http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/765/tools/quickreference/catalyst3x00.pdf
    2.I am not an SNMP expert but would not think there would be any network delay other then the poll interval delay.

  • AP 1200 Just goes down hard

    We have a 1200 Aironet just go down hard for no reason through out the day, we replaced the Power Injector with a C2960 POE Switch, we also replaced the cabiling. When it goes down hard all three lights are still green as if the AP is still up. We verified the IOS with other stores and everything is the same on the configurations, versions, and IOS.
    Can anyone give us a suggestion on what the issue or something else we can look at that we might be over looking?
    Couple more things that we have done:
    We verified the IOS with other stores and everything is the same on the configurations, versions, and IOS.
    Thanks in advance......

    Hello John,
    As per your query i can suggest you the following solution-
    Please check the POE for the AP and whether it is proper or not.
    Types of Power over Ethernet
    This section describes various types of Power over Ethernet (PoE) including Cisco pre-standard power, IEEE 802.3af power, and IEEE 802.3at power.
    Cisco Pre-Standard Power
    The first generation of Cisco pre-standard PoE was designed to power devices such as Cisco IP phones and access points. This pre-standard solution had relatively low power requirements (approximately 6 to 7 watts). Later generations of pre-standard power supported higher power modes (up to 15 Watts) and added power negotiation via Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP). In July 2003, the IEEE ratified the 802.1af standard (up to 15.4 watts of power). With the ratification of IEEE 802.3af, Cisco supports both IEEE 802.3af and Cisco pre-standard PoE concurrently. Cisco has also extended pre-standard power management using CDP negotiation to Cisco IEEE 802.3af compliant devices to further optimize Power Source Equipment (PSE) power management.
    When using a Cisco pre-standard source for power, it is important to check the power draw in watts (Table 1) and verify that the PSE can supply enough wattage to the powered device. Depending on the version of your PSE, enough power may not be available to supply some of the newer access points.
    IEEE 802.3af Power
    The IEEE 802.af-2003 PoE standard:
    •Defines terminology to describe a port that acts as a power source to a powered device.
    •Defines how a powered device is detected.
    •Defines two methods of delivering PoE to the discovered device requiring power.
    •End-Point PSE—PoE-capable Ethernet port. Power may be delivered by an end-point PSE to a powered device using the active data wires of an Ethernet port or the spare wires. An end-point PSE, such as a PoE-capable Ethernet switch may implement either scheme.
    •Mid-span PSE—Can be used to deliver PoE if an existing non-PoE-capable Ethernet switch is used. If a mid-span PSE is used, it can only implement power delivery over the spare pairs of the copper cabling and cannot be used to deliver PoE over 1000BASE-T connections.
    Hope this will help you.
