Cisco Cat 500 Express deficiency

I have heared complaints about the Cisco Cat 500 switch.
When using the Cat 500 with AP1200 and 7920 IP phones, the phones do not roam from AP to AP.
Also I have found out that the Cat 500 will not relay dhcp request to a server on a seperate vlan from it's configured ip address.
With CLI switches, the "ip helper-address under the vlan will acheive this. With the Cat 500, how do u acheive directed broadcast.
Looks like this switch is not very good. The smartports do not work very well, you will find that choosing "other" as a smartport fixes most connectivity issues.
Cisco your comments?

The Cat 500 Express is a Layer 2 switch - like the older model switches, it has a single SVI which is in one VLAN.
If you have more than one VLAN, then you will probably have a device that routes between them (this won't be a Cat 500 - it would be a Cat 3xxx layer three switch or a router most likely) and this device would be what provides Ip-helper functionality...

Which one is the console port of a cisco catalyst 500 express ?

i cant find it anywhere ?

jillesmiedema,
I haven't used that type of Cisco switch myself but did some research and it looks like there is no console port on this switch. It appears to be set up via a GUI application.
See this link...
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/switches/ps5718/ps6545/product_data_sheet0900aecd80322aeb.html
which states this...
The Cisco Catalyst Express 500 Series switches are designed for ease of use. The switch is initialized through the GUI Device Manager; no console cable or terminal emulation application is needed
As far as help setting this switch up please see the following link which should get you started in the right direction...
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalystexpress500/release_12.2_25_fy/quick/start/1708402.html
Hope this helps you out. Let us know how it goes.

Cat 500 disabled port state

I have a couple of Cat 500 express routers in a two building network connected with wireless access points. I had a wireless drop to due to a user unplugging the wireless AP and my switch put my port into disale state "due to traffic only passing in one direction" Is this something that i can avoid having to deal with in the future or is it software feature that you have to deal with on the lower end switches?

ok thanks i will give that a shot and see if that works. I remember though when I first set this site up I had set each of the ports on those two switches to Access Point...i wasnt able to pass traffic and hit another IP?? I had to set the port to Router in order for it work properly....
SW1---AP1======Bridge=====AP2---SW2
thats my layout....
thanks for the help...

How to change host name and domain name in installed Cisco Meeting Place Express 2.0?

Hi
I have Cisco Meeting Place Express 2.0 installed on server. Meting Place uses Linux (Red Hat) as base operation system. Please tell me how I can change host name and domain name for Meeting Place Express application to integrate it into corporate domain infrastructure.
Thanks in advance!!!
Sincerely yours
Sergey Bondarenko

Hi
Thanks for your attention for my humble problem.
I have performed Meeting Place Express configuration through the “net” command.
But now unfortunately I can't connect to meeting place through web browser. I just get blank page.
Though I can reach the server with help of ssh. I think my DNS works properly because I can resolve the ip address of cumpxvoice .uclab.com and cumpxweb. uclab.com with help of dig command.
Have you any idea?
A lot of thanks in advance!!
Sincerely yours Sergey Bondarenko
Here I have printed the net configuration output of Cisco meeting Place Express:

This is the MeetingPlace Express network configuration utility.
Up to the point where you save changes, it is safe to hit ^C to get

I's like that anybody helps me in the starting configuration, Where can I find good documentation about a tipical case like this?
I have a lot experience in networking and IP telephony but I'm newbie in CCME.

To begin the configuration use "telephony-service setup" command which will prompt you for some of the basic configuration ie how many phones, starting DN, etc. To add additional feature refer to the admin guide provided by Jorge link.

Cisco Meeting Place Express 2.1.1.2 and not working anymore

Hello, we currently have cisco meeting place express 2.1.1.2; however are now having issues with it. We are unable to dial to the internal extension that was previously working to login to the meetings and only get a busy signal everytime. Furthermore, whenever someone tries to schedule a new meeting via the web form, it says "request to server timed out. please try again".
I tried reaching out to Cisco TAC support; however it's no longer a supported item and am looking for assistance here. The TAC engineer was able to help assist with updating the system clock; however I believe the problems started happening after we updated the clock and rebooted the server. Now we are unable to schedule and attend any meetings (busy signal everytime) at all. I tried restarting the server itself as well as via the command line. I also now see an error during CLI restart, which I have listed directly below:

OK, that's the correct one. Can you verify the checksum of the file? It should be:

If that's OK, I would delete the VM and try installing the ova once more.
Other than that, I'd suggest calling the TAC if it's a supported installation (i.e. not an evaluation copy).

InterVlan Trunking between Catalyst 500 Express and Router 1841

Hello,
I am currently attempting to configure 2 VLANs on a Router 1841 and allow them to communication with my Catalyst 500 Express switch. The Router Setup is simple
its 3 Sub-ints on the FE0/0 interface.
interface FastEthernet0/0
description $ETH-LAN$$ETH-SW-LAUNCH$$INTF-INFO-FE 0$
no ip address
duplex auto
speed auto
interface FastEthernet0/0.1
description *** ADMINISTERING VLAN ***
encapsulation dot1Q 1 native
ip address 10.19.1.1 255.255.255.0
interface FastEthernet0/0.2

description *** VOICE VLAN ***
encapsulation dot1Q 3
ip address 10.19.3.1 255.255.255.0
ip helper-address 10.19.2.2
FE 0/0 Port on the Router is connected to port 24 on my Catalyst. I set the Smartport on port 24 of the Catalyst to be Router for trunking purposes
I get a notification error on the Catalyst saying "Undersized frames detected from the connected device" (which is my ROUTER).
does anyone have a suggestion? Or Is it supported this scenario?
Thanks,
Eduardo

I had the same issue when I was working on CE500s and a WLC.
In the CE500 Device Manager, go to Configure->VLANs
Create your VLAN 2 and 3.
Then go back to smartports, click customize, and verify that VLAN-1 is default (native).
Sending information through a port on the CE500 that it is not expecting will set alerts in the log.
Hope this helps.

Cisco Unified Communications Express

I have a brand new router, 3825 and licensing so no worries there. I also have some discs Cisco Unified Communications Express Products and Cisco Unified Contact Center Express/ IP IVR.
Question 1) I am trying to install CME (which I hear is now Unified Communications Express). Do one of these disc have it on it? I have checked the flash of the router and i see no cme. I have the Adv IP Services IOS.
Question 2) What is on those discs.

Hello Adam,
the CME is a feature that comes integrated with you IOS software, and you just need to enable it in case that you would like to configure it and work with it.
Since you have the Adv IP services IOS you should be able to use this voce feature without any issue. In the follow documments you could find first the basic configuration for a CME and CUE and the second one is the admini guide in case that you would like to see some other features.

Q2 # What are the marked ports in the image used for...???

tech spec,
Traditionally you would use crossover to connect switches. Most modern network devices have Auto-MDIX which allows the device to connect using either crossover or straight through.
The ports on the right can be used for uplink or as regular network ports. On the 10/100 versions the ports on the right are usually Gigabit, thus making them more suitable for uplink to another switch, etc.
Please mark this thread as answered or reply if you have any additional questions.

Cisco Sg 500 28P Visio stencil

I require Cisco SG 500 28P Visio stencil
Any Help will be highly appreciated.

Hi,
I apologize for the delayed response. I typically receive email notifications when there is a Visio request in the forums but I now see that's not always the case.
I've contacted the product group to see if they can fund additional Visio shapes for this series.
