Cisco 4900 switch LAN base to IP base IOS upgrade

Hi,
I have purchased WS-C4900-SW-LIC= for upgrading 4900 switch from LAN base to IP base IOS.
I have not received any PAK or installable license file. Only license agreement is provided by CIsco.
While upgrading do I need to install license file on switch?
Regards,
Andy

Anderson,
Contact the licensing team and request for an update using your PO/SO since you have not received the PAK.
Link: https://tools.cisco.com/SWIFT/LicensingUI/Home
Indeed we need to install the license file on the switch
First copy this license to the switch's flash memory using the copy command
and a TFTP server.
Note, while the dir bootflash: command now lists the file in the bootflash, it has
not yet been installed. The license install command must be used to install
the license.
Example:
4948# license install flash:license_name-ips
Please issue the following command and then reload the switch.
4948(config)#license boot level ipservices
4948(config)#end
4948L# wr
4948# reload

LAN BASE and LANE LITE Software

Hi ,
I found this info in the Q&A for Catalyst 2960 Switches:
Q. What are the advantages of Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series Switches with the LAN Base software relative to Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series Switches with the LAN Lite software?
A. Cisco Catalyst 2960 LAN Base switches deliver intelligent services for branch offices and wiring closets. The LAN Base IOS software supports enhanced Layer 2+ security, quality of service (QoS), availability, and scalable management to enable new converged applications. Catalyst 2960 LAN Base switches include both 10/100 Fast Ethernet and 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity in 8-, 24-, and 48-port configurations.
Cisco Catalyst 2960 LAN Lite switches are for entry-level branch office and wiring closet networks. They simplify the migration from nonintelligent hubs and unmanaged switches to a fully scalable and reliable network. The LAN Lite IOS software supports standard Layer 2 security, QoS, and availability while lowering the network total cost of ownership. Catalyst 2960 LAN Lite switches deliver 10/100 Fast Ethernet connectivity in 24- and 48-port configurations.
All Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series Switches have technical support service options available through Cisco SMARTNet® service. All come with a Limited Lifetime Hardware Warranty, and LAN Base and LAN Lite software updates are provided at no additional cost.
my question is about the text in red color, does that mean that if I ordered (WS-C2960-24PC-L) then all the Ethernet interfaces can work at the 10/100/1000 ?

Hello and good afternoon,
Here is the link to the model comparisons:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6406/prod_models_comparison.html
There are gig uplinks on the lan-lite products.
Is there a specific application, feature or functionality you are looking for? Can I assist you all in finding the right switch?
Kindest regards and best wishes for a great new year!

LAN Lite, LAN Base, IP Base, and IP Service Image of Switching.

Dear all,
Please kindly help me what is differenct between LAN Lite, LAN Base, IP Base, and IP Service Image of Switching.
Hope see all of your feedback soon.Thanks!
KIND Regards,

3650 Switch Stack IP Base and LAN Base Software

Hello All,
I will have a 3 stack of 3650's. One switch will have the IP base image and the other two will have a LAN base image. I have read that all switches in the stack must have the exact image. If I have an IP based image and a LAN based image with the exact IOS version number, will the stack still work?
Thanks for your help

Take a look at this doc:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/switches/catalyst-3650-series-switches/qa_c67-729531.html
Q. What are the license requirements for a Cisco Catalyst 3650 switch stack?
A. In a Cisco Catalyst 3650 stack, all switches should be at the same image-based license (IP Services/IP Base/LAN Base) level. The active switch license level is considered as the reference, and the member switch licenses are compared against it. If there is a mismatch, the active switch with the syslog message “license mismatch error” indicates that the stacking was unsuccessful.
Q. How is a “license mismatch error” fixed in a Cisco Catalyst 3650 stack?
A. The license level of the mismatched stack member switch can be changed with the license right-to-use activate <license> all acceptEULA CLI command (entire stack should have the same wired license level) and reloaded from the active switch console. This will enable the member switch to join the stack successfully. The customer has to purchase a license before moving to a specific license level.
Q. What happens after 90 days of activating an evaluation RTU license?
A. An evaluation RTU license EULA expects that customers will purchase a permanent license within 90 days. After 90 days the evaluation license will not be valid. Warning syslog messages about the evaluation license expiration are generated 10 and 5 days before the 90-day window ends. Warning syslog messages are generated every day after the 90-day period. The expired evaluation license continues to function with the daily syslog messages until the switch is reloaded. The expired evaluation license cannot be reactivated after the reload.
Thank you for rating helpful posts!

Difference between LAN BAse Image and Enhanced Image

Can you tell me the difference between switches with LAN Base Image and Switches with Enhabced Image. I want to run HSRP and OSPF on two switches. Can I use LAN Base Image with this or is switches with Enhanced Image.
Many Thanks

The 2960 series does not have an Enhanced Image, just the standard software with and w/o crypto. The 2950 differences can viewed at the following link.

Downgrade 3750X w/ IP Base to LAN Base for Stacking

I have a WS-C3750X-12S-S (IP Services) that I THINK I'd like to downgrade to LAN Base so I can stack it with a WS-C3750X-48T-L that is already LAN Base...
Can I do this? Any reasons I shouldn't? Small environment, isn't much routing at all going on here...Thanks!

That is because it is not an image it is a license.
However you will loose more than just routing abilities.
so if i where you i would go the other way.
I would buy a license upgrade to upgrade the Lan base to ip base instead.
otherwise you will loose alot of functionality that you might want/need such as eem, powerstacking and so on.
to buy a license to upgrade contact your local cisco rep.
to change to a license from ip base to Lan base contact cisco licensing

good luck

How Cisco ISE 1.2 Base licenses are consumed and tracks concurrent endpoint connected to network

Hello
I am interested to know how the cisco ISE 1.2 base licences are consumed. As the cisco ise 1.2 user guide "The Base License is consumed whenever an authentication notification is received by Cisco ISE."
Based on the above statement i have following queries :-
Radius being the UDP based request, its only during the time endpoint is authenticated and authorized the base license is consumed and then its is released. Then how does cisco ISE tracks the concurrent endpoints connected to the network.
Thanks
Kumar

thanks for the reply Tarik.
As I understand, you mean that a base license is consumed by every radius authentication request and then the license is free to be utilised again
Also would this means if Radius accounting is turned off, then concurrent sessions will not be tracked.
Thanks
Kumar

Cisco 2960s Switch replacement

Greetings,
Dear Experts,
We are using the Cisco 2960s Switches in our network. We have two failed switches and asked for replacement from our supplier. They informed that the 2960s model is approaching End Of Service (EOS) and the replacement of that model are as below:
1- WS-C2960X-24TS-L
Catalyst 2960-X 24 GigE, 4 x 1G SFP, LAN Base
2-WS-C2960S-24TS-L
Catalyst 2960S 24 GigE, 4 x SFP LAN Base
What is the best practice to make my decision of which to select? will it make difference from the configuration perspective? is there a possibility for conflict with the existing 2960s Switches?
Many thanks in advance for your kind assistance.
Thanks and Regards

We have two failed switches and asked for replacement from our supplier.
Time for you to talk to your supplier. Cisco has announced the EoS/EoL for the 2960S back in November 2014 (End-of-Sale and End-of-Life Announcement for the Cisco Catalyst 2960-S Series and 2960-SF Series Switches). However, this only means the date of November 2014 is just a date of announcement. The final date of sale for the 2960S is November 2015.
I think your supplier either is getting confused (didn't read the announcement properly or didn't know) or is just looking for ways to make more money.
is there a possibility for conflict with the existing 2960s Switches?
You can form a stack of 2960S and 2960X. Just know the limitations, and they are:
1. The entire stack must have the same IOS versions;
2. The stack speed will drop from 20 Gbps (2960X) to 10 Gbps because 2960S has been set to run only at this speed; and
3. You cannot have five or more in a stack if you have a 2960S as a member of the stack.

Cisco 3850 Switch and Windows 7 IP Conflicts

Team,
Last evening (Christmas eve) we setup a pair of Cisco 3850 with IP Base version 3.3.35SE (recommended) and 3.7.0E (very latest).
We got these to replace a very old switch that had died. Attached to this network are windows 7 PC's with all the standard patches, service packs, etc.
with standard port configs - no PC would work - and in fact on each screen we got the windows 7 IP Conflict pop up box.
This seemed very odd to us, as we know these IP's are all static (no dhcp on this segment at all)
we went with a very vanilla config on each port
interface g1/0/1
switchport host
that is it - nothing special at all.
well, after hours of research we found the 3850 has a problem where its "ip device tracking" (even though disabled, by way of NOT being enabled on any interface) will effect the windows 7 PC's ip address in use detection port start up phase!
This is a very big problem. I am frankly SHOCKED Cisco would release a major switch that is going to not work when connected to the average network with windows 7 PC's.
we tried 3+ hours of prescribed work-arounds found when researching this issue -
ip device tracking probe delay 10 (global config)
ip device tracking max 0 (disabed, on interface)
finally,
nmsp attach suppress (interface, however this appears to be a default command in all IOS-XE versions we tried, as the command did NOT show in the show run) . this effected many different nic card vendors (laptops, desktops) and nic card drivers levels from old to very recent.
Finally,
we compared a 3850 in another location to this one - and we never got HIT by this problem before because that 3850 only as TRUNK ports and no windows 7 hosts directly attached.
Doing more research, I found out this also can effect vmware guests running windows SERVER.
this is now a huge issue as we have a scheduled deployment of 3850's throughout our network which is going to be put on hold.
the work-around I came up with which is not great is -
Make ALL the "access" ports connected to PC TRUNK ports and leave the NATIVE vlan (untagged) as the vlan you want the PC's to be in
interface g1/0/1
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk native vlan 1
this is NOT an acceptable workaround as this presents security issues even with
switchport trunk allowed vlan 1, etc. as the only allowed vlan.
Note: this issue manifested itself and windows 7 PC's were UNABLE to use the network. if you do "ipconfig /all | more" you would see
192.168.0.140(duplicate) and the interface would actually use 169.254.0.239(duplicate) so the duplicate message appeared twice in the output.
1) With and without an SVI interface on each 3850 for the vlan where the windows 7 machines had a duplicate
2) when we had an SVI and the command ip device tracking probe use-svi (or whatever the hidden command is I forget now, but it took it)
3) when we had aaa new-model configured - and not configured - thinking this was some artifact of having aaa turn on something like 802.1x port state
4) when could confirm NO DHCP SNOOPING
5) when we DID not use static IP's - and had the switch assign DHCP addresses - the Windows 7 PC's STILL had duplicates and didnt work for their "Just leased" ip's.
6) when we could confirm ios-xe ip device tracking = disabled with show ip device tracking status, etc.
This is a major problem for this 3850 and unless we get a definitive answer on why this is happening and how we can rectify we are going to have to return our 3850's and get HP Procurve's something I would rather avoid doing. There is NO REASON I can imagine other than older switches who's ports default to ROUTED ports (i.e.. no ip switchport) where a switch should not at least function as a bare switch with essentially a default configuration out of the box.
Any ideas? I'm working well now with the ports ALL in trunking mode with vlan 1 native, but this is not a scalable workaround we can live with as we have security risks of a port not blocking certain vlans from going out ports to pc's, etc. that attackers could send tags on at that point, etc.
thanks,
Joe Brunner
#19366

thanks for replying - i'm not onsite (its a standalone network) - but here is what it is -
Answers in line -
This all stems from a switch replacement correct?
yes a 10 year old Allied Telesyn switch was replaced that had no config - like a hub, just used for connectivity.
Are these 3850's in a stack?
>yes, tested all aspects of the stack many times.
Does it have a managment ip address -If so, is it using the old switch ip address
>old switch had no ip - i made a "management interface" on vlan 1 - BUT no ip on the built-in management interface on the switch.
What are they connecting to? (a router/L3 switch/anohter switch- cisco-HP etc..)
>various other devices - only 1 link back to a single 3750x stack. that switch is "hardened" so to speak to reveal or propagate very little by design.
How are they connected( L3 interface/L2 trunk/access port)
>all ports are left in trunk mode with vlan 1 as the active and untagged port. this was the workaround done to ever get the switch going. in "out of the box" or default mode as we initially wanted (no config) links to windows 7 PC's didnt work. links to linux or other devices non-windows did work!
Are thse switches performing inter-vlan routing or just acting as host switches?
>dumb flat network, no routing.
Is ip routing enabled?
>not unless enabled on 3850 by default. I didnt type "ip routing"
Do you have multiple vlans in your network and if so ar ethe being propergated to these new switches?
Your 7 pcs = are they just client pcs not servers?
client PC's - no servers OS per say.
can you confirm something like ICS isnt enabled (Internet connection sharing) on any of them?
>yes not enabled.
Are the just using one NIC each?
> one machine is dual homed - but we know where its "second nic" goes - to another cisco network which is NOT connected back to this one. we traced all our ports a few times thinking even perhaps some small hub was "reflecting" traffic back to us - like a blackbox. Strangest thing -
default config out of the box - with ALL ports SHUTDOWN EXCEPT the single windows 7 facing port - the windows 7 machine STILL registered an IP CONFLICT when connected to the 3850 - even when it had NO SVI's!!! (i know mind numbing). if you disconnected the pc and connected it to an old cisco switch - it worked fine!!! wow.
sh switch
2 identical 3850's in working stack. power and network stacked. both at same version, etc - upgraded each time with "software install file flash:<long ios name>.bin
tested all power and general 3850 stacking. saw no issues.
sh int trunk
>all ports are now trunks (hence the workaround used to get it up).
has 20 trunks to PC's and some single connected switches (far away on fiber) - all allow only vlan 1 - no other vlans were created - very very simple network. vlan 1 is native
sh vlan brief
>just vlan 1 - no vlans created, checked this many times - had vlan 100 at one point - made sure it was gone over a period of hours.
sh vtp status
not setup - left complete default; no vtp domain set - connected to all switches in transparent model if a switch connection exists.
sh cdp neighbours
cant post (for god and country LOL) but there is one link back to our "core" so to speak - that switch is hardened not to allow any settings to slip over to new switches so hence no vtp, cdp is one to help troubleshooting.
sh ip route
just the L and C routes for the vlan 1 ip address 192.168.17.1/24
no static routes
no vlan interfaces other than int vlan 1
no ip address on g0/0/0 -> the default 3850 management interface hard assigned to the 3850 VRF you cant remove.
int g0/0/0
ip vrf forwarding Switch_Mgmt
i can get over there if you think of anything else key to show the group.
thanks,
Joe

Cisco Blade Switch

I am having problems with configuring speed on uplink ports on cisco blade switches (Cisco Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module for HP BladeSystem p-Class). I can configure fixed speed on uplink ports (Gi0/19-22) but after reload I am getting message that this command was rejected:
speed 1000
^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
and then auto-1000 speed is specified.I need fixed speeds on those ports.What is strange that access ports (Gi0/1-18) dont have this problems.I excluded firmare problem,vlan,vtp negotation. The problem is still recouring even if I configure this ports only with speed comand and nothing more. Could someone give me some clues? Thanks

Checked that olso,ports are 10/100/1000/auto Base-TX with half/full/auto duplex, so it seems that it is not an issue. I am getting this problem after this communicate:

Universal Image with IP Base IOS

Hi ,
Does Universal Image with IP Base IOS support the following,
1. OSPF
2. Multicast ( PIM SM, BSR, RP(static / dynamic) configurations)

Hi,
If you need full OSPF and Multicast support, you need IP services license.
