"Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3020 for HP" Best Practices

Hi all,
Here we use this blade switch cluster for the Data Center server farm. Here we noticed some network traffic delay. when I monitor the up link I can see there is not much traffic in the link. So doubt about the traffic delay. If anyone can help me on this it would be great...
Thanks in Progress.....
Chandana

Here in the "blade switch for HP" a request processing application is running in a server. when we use the same type server stand alone with a separate switch it processes 80,000 requests per 4 hours. But when this blade server in the blade switch it only processes near 6,000 requests per 4 hours.
That what I mean like "Network delay"...
That is what I cannot understand.
I have attached the current configuration of the blade switch so you can go through it.
Is there any best practices specific to that type of blade switch that should enable?
Thanks for your help
regards
Chandana

    Information about the Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3020
    Does it support  TCP SYN Flooding Attacks Mitigations Techniques
    As per the Request for Comments: 4987 

    Most of the common DOS attack mitigation strategies (good overview here) are configurable on the CBS 3020. There's no "one step lockdown" like the autosecure feature on routers but the configuration guide covers all of the details on setting the individual mechanisms (DHCP Snooping, DAI, IP source guard, etc.) you may wish to employ.

  • Catalyst Blade Switches 3020 For HP Blade Chassis

    I was trying to access Catalyst Blade Switch 3020 through serial port to reset the lost password. This Switch is plug-in to HP c7000 Chassis. I followed the instruction from Cisco documentation for this password re-set process as follows.
    { Step 1 Connect a terminal or PC with terminal-emulation software to the switch console port.
    Step 2 Set the line speed on the emulation software to 9600 baud.
    Step 3 Push the release latch on the front of the switch to the open position.
    Step 4 Pull the switch partially out of the module bay until the power disconnects, and then push it in again. The switch restarts when it reseats in the server chassis. The switch performs POST after power is applied.
    Step 5 Push the release latch on the front of the switch to the closed position.
    Step 6 Within 15 seconds, press the Mode button while the System LED is still flashing green. Continue pressing the Mode button until the System LED turns briefly amber and then solid green; then release the Mode button.
    ------- Step 6 did not work. System LED neither flashing nor in Solid state. I can not connect through Serial port any more! Any help.....

  • STP LED status with Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3130

    Hi,
    The usual status LED of a STP Blocked interface is orange. With this Switch (3130), the LED is green while the RSTP status port is Alternate Blocked. Is this normal ? Is there any documentation about RSTP LED status ?

    G'day,
    I think you have the wrong forum! :)
    cheers

  • Newbie: trunk between 6500 and Blade Switch 3020

    Hi,
    Beeing newbie , I need advice to setup trunk between my 2 switches.
    I would like to use 4 ports as TRUNK
    On the 6500 , this is what I have done :
    set port channel 5/37-40 61
    set trunk 5/37 auto isl 1-1005,1025-4094
    set trunk 5/38 auto isl 1-1005,1025-4094
    set trunk 5/39 auto isl 1-1005,1025-4094
    set trunk 5/40 auto isl 1-1005,1025-4094
    On the Blade Switch 3020 I have done :
    interface GigabitEthernet0/17
    switchport trunk encapsulation isl
    switchport mode trunk
    shutdown
    channel-group 1 mode on
    interface GigabitEthernet0/18
    switchport trunk encapsulation isl

    Will that work ?
    Could you tell me if I have to put the trunk port on the same VLAN ?
    Many thanks in advance for your help.

  • How many Cisco Catalyst 3850 switches can make up a Cisco StackPower stack?

    I know the number of Cisco 3850 switches for stacking is 9, so, if I make up a Cisco StackPower stack, MAX is 9, too?

     Hi, emma, only 4 switches can become part of the same Cisco StackPower stack in a ring topology.
    For the Cisco 3850 switches stack number,there are two types:
    Up to 9 Cisco Catalyst 3850 switches can be stacked together to build single logical StackWise-480 switch since Cisco IOS XE Release 3.3.0SE. Prior to Cisco IOS XE Release3.3.0SE, up to 4 Cisco Catalyst 3850 switches could be stacked together.

  • Looking for some best practice regarding Content Administrator access

    Hi. I am looking for some best practice or rule of thumb from SAP or from different companies how they address Portal Content Administrator access in Production environment. Basically, our company is implementing portal to work with SAP BW.  We are on SP 9. Basically, I am trying to determine if we should have 1-2 Portal Content Administrator in Production with 24/7 access or we should limit them from NOT having this.  Can you share with me some ideas of what is right? and what is not?
    Should we have access in Production? Or Should we have this access but limited? By the way, our users are allow to Publish BI reports/queries into Production.

    Hello Michael,
    Refer to this guide about managing initial content in portal.

  • Business Package for SAP Best Practices for Enterprise Portal

    Hi,

When i checked the data source for this business package, the specification is for "SAP R/3 4.6B and above". Does this work for ECC 5.0 as well? In general does the R/3 specific business packages work for ECC versions? Please let me know. Thanks for the help.  I promise rewards.

  • Trouble: Crsytal reports for SAP Best practices

    Hello Friends,
    I have downloaded crystal reports for SAP Best practices. There are bunch of Crystal reports whose data source is a infoset query.
    Below are the reports
    Cost Analysis: Planned vs. Actual Cost Variance for Cost Centers     Table: CSKT, CSLT                                                                               
    Query: CO_OM_CA_20_Q1

    I have created the above Infosets using the document which comes with the installation. However I couldn't find any documents to create these queries. I also searched the SAP system if these were predefined but I still couldn't find.
    Note: I am ECC 6 and Enhancement pack 3
    Question: Where are these queries?? How do i create them?
    Any inputs would be really appreciated?

    Hightlight the G entry and invoke the context menu.Select Options and in the Table name field enter the following
    CO%
    Close the options window and press F5. Navigate again to SAP Infosets and to the opened connection to your system. Under Q->G you should be able to see the CO* Infosets.

    BTW % is a wildcard (same as * in Windows/Unix )

    Thanks! I was stuck on entering "TestStand best practices" into NI's search engine, and never thought of entering "TestStand style guide."

  • Look For Transport Best Practices

    Hi,
    I am looking for transport best practices, so please answer the following questions on how your place of business handles :
    1. If an object is modified in development and you decide that you you do not wish to move the modifications forward - Do you;
        a. delete the transport and release the locks
        b. create a corrective transport and move the transport through production
        c. release the transport and never import it into the next system
        d. something different : (Please explain)
    2. If a transport is imported into QA and then you decide never to move it to production, do you:
        a. delete the transport and release the locks
        b. create a corrective transport and move the transport through production
        c. release the transport and never import it into the next system
        d. something different : (Please explain)
    Thanks Rob
    [email protected]

    I was always taught never to delete a transport. The changes should be reversed in the same transport and moved forward or released and the corrective transport moved forward in the same import queue.
    If the transport goes to QAS then it needs to move to production. A corrective transport should be imported into production in the same queue.
    I am sure you can get 20 different answers on this, but this is my policy.

Maybe you are looking for
