Connecting dell vrtx switch module to nexus 7k

I have a dell vrtx chassis with built in switch. How do I configure the nexus 7k port to connect the switch module to it?

We can have a Nexus 7k VPC pair with CB3020 HP Blade Center switches attached through a VPC group.

Connecting arista dmz switch to cisco nexus 5ks

I current have dual nexus 5k setup in vpc config to my nexus 2ks. shown in diagram.
I havea dmz switch that I need to connect to the 5ks and that switch has vlan160.
can i connect and trunk that arista switch to both the nexus5ks like this?

on the arista switch there are 4, 10GB ports (49,50,51,52)
I got 49 and 50 going to the 5548-1

Configuring - Cisco 2921 with Switch Module/POE PS and 3750-x 24 port switch

This is what I have
- Cisco 2921 router
         with SM-ES2-24-P switch module and
                 POE power supply
-Cisco 3750x- 24 port Switch
I have port G1/0 (which connects to 24p Switch Module port g0/26 logically) configured with 3 sub interfaces (management, User and VOIP)
I want to connect 3750x to G0/1 on 2921 via fiber GBIC but want to use same three VLANs
I can not daisy chain 3750x via the switch module because it does not have fiber port.
I do not want to create another routed (g0/1) interface because I want to keep Users on both switches on the same subnet without further splitting the subnet in two.
I hope I am not making this confusing.
How can I bridge g1/0 and g0/1 so I can pass vlan traffic between two switches?
Second problem i have is ...
I have a VOIP connected to switch module (SM) and it is not getting any power.
I went in to all the interfaces on SM and issued power inline auto command
On the SM (sh power inline) - available is 0.0(w)
on the 2921 (sh power inline)
   - power supply status is good,
   - maximun power available is 280.
   - interface G1/0( which connects to SM)
      *device is unknown
      * powered off
     * allocated 0.0 watts.
I already tried resetting SM
Is there any other command I need to issue?
thanks for your help.

I'm having a similar issue. I can get trunked connectivity between the switch module and the router if I put the IP address on the router sub interface, but not if I put it on a VLAN interface. I was hoping to have it on a VLAN sub interface on the router so I could use Gig0/1 and Gig0/2 to connect other switches and have them on the same VLANs. I'm using Gig1/0 on the router side and Gig0/51 on the switch side (48-port module).
Any help? Am I on the wrong track altogether?

Can you Connect Cisco switch modules for to N2K?

I have not seen anything about connecting Cisco Switch modules for Blade Chassis to fex. Does anybody now if you can do that?
thank you.

thank you Lucien.
I think you got a right name for N2Ks, a NIC card extender. In my opion N2K should be able to support Blade switches. Not every company has just rack mount servers, most enviroment is mixed. In my case, I run out ports on N5K, but plenty available on N2K. I want add two more blade centers with gig switch modules in them. now I have to buy a N5K!!!. I'm sure Cisco can make N2K to support switches too.

Monitor Dell Powerconnect Switches/Routers using SCOM 2012

Hello,
We are trying to find a way to monitor approximately 20-25 Dell Powerconnect switches/routers (models 5324,5424,5448,5548,6224,6024) through SCOM 2012.
Using SCOM network discovery we are able to get all Dell Powerconnect switches listed, but we are unable to get a network node dashboard, nor vicinity view 1 or 2 hops further. We are able to only see connected network printers and some serial/ethernet devices
we have.
In addition, SCOM 2012 seems to be able to recognize the model of only Dell Powerconnect 5224 switches. We have found that on the SCOM management server the "C:\Program Files\System Center 2012\Operations Manager\Server\NetworkMonitoring\conf\discovery\oid2type_Dell.conf"
only lists Dell Powerconnect 5224 switches as well as several models from the 3000 series.
We have contacted Dell PRO support, but their reply was that there is no management pack for SCOM available for their networking devices.
Would it be recommended to use http://xsnmp.codeplex.com/ on SCOM 2012 to monitor those switches and get a network digram view or are there any plans to include those MIBs in a future CU or SP of SCOM 2012?

Hi Alex
Network monitoring has changed from SCOM 2007 R2 to SCOM 2012 so this statement
"but if this works for SCOM 2007, it should apply to SCOM 2012"
is not accurate when it comes to network monitoring:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/momteam/archive/2011/10/24/migrating-operations-manager-2007-network-monitoring.aspx
Would it be recommended to use http://xsnmp.codeplex.com/ on SCOM 2012?
The codeplex solutions for SCOM 2007 R2 will not work on a new \ clean install of SCOM 2012 (if you upgrade from SCOM 2007 R2 they continue to work as legacy devices but you can't add more monitoring).
SCOM 2012 seems to be able to recognize the model of only Dell Powerconnect 5224 switches
What do you mean by recoginse? SCOM can discover network devices but there is an "approved" list that allows for extended monitoring:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=26831
You should still be able to discover and monitor other devices though:

Can a broken Display Switch module cause my screen to not turn on or be recognized?

Hi All,
I have recently been having some issues with my LCD screen in my HP Pavillion dv9700. Ever since I replaced the left hinge on my notebook, I have had to fiddle with my screen by closing and opening it during booting to get it to turn on. This only happened when booting into linux. When booting into vista, the screen would turn on without a problem. This morning I was so fed up with this, that I thought maybe some switch was not getting pressed to tell the notebook that the lid was opened. After looking at all the cables and putting everything back together, my screen now no longer turns on no matter how much I open and close the lid. It wont even turn on in vista. I am however able to connect a vga cable to my notebook and use an external monitor without any problems. I opened up the nvidia control panel in both windows and linux and it does not recognize my notebook monitor, only the external monitor shows up. Could this be caused by a broken display switch module? How can I diagnose this problem? Is there a way to bypass the display switch module by jumping two wires?
Any ideas are appreciated,
Thanks in advance
OS: Latest version of Ubuntu Linux 11.10 dual booting with Windows Vista
Problem: LCD Monitor not turning on / being recognized
possible cause: LCD Display Switch Module

Update:
I just figured out that it cant be my display switch module because when i close the lid to my notebook, the external monitor shuts off and the computer goes into standby mode. I now think this might be an issue with the ribbon cable. Is there anything else which might be causing this problem which I am overlooking?

Hi,
I have confirmed that , the switch where we are trying to connect is PoE switch :
please see model details below :
we have cisco switch 3750 stacking over there with one non-PoE switch :
switch 1 provision ws-c3750x-48 : non-PoE switch
switch 2 provision ws-c3750x-48p : PoE switch
both the switches are stacked :
please refer below stack-power details as well :
Power stack name: Powerstack-1
    Stack mode: Power sharing
    Switch 1:
        Power budget: 206
        Low port priority value: 21

After connecting Poe devices ( 1131AG ap ) to the switch , we are getting below message :
Error Message    PLATFORM_STACKPOWER-4-UNDER_BUDGET: Switch 2 does not have
sufficient power budget
I tried to paste the same output in output interpreter but there is no workaround given for the same.
Please suggest me for the same.
In the mean time, i will get details which leolahoo has mentioned .

Function not found in library? 1127 switch module

I am trying to control individual relays in an 1127 switch module with a 1331 attached. Whenever I try to connect to it through the block diagram (or through example programs) I get an error stating "Function not found in library" or sub vi not executable. However when I try to control it from the switch executive front panel it seems to work correctly. When I follow the sub vi error chain I eventually arrive at the library node and I am told to configure it. However when I click configure I get options that are phrased slightly differently than the original sub vi name. How do I get the example code / control over the 1127 installed in an scxi chassis.

Raaron,
The SCXI 1127 is a Matrix / Multiplexer card. If we wanted to try to make it function similar to an SPDT, you will limit the number of "SPDTs" you can create. With the 1331 that can only be configured as a multiplexer and essentially used for a single "SPDT" [com(SPDT) = com (Mux), NC(SPDT) = Ch0 (Mux), NO(SPDT) = Ch1 (Mux)] . If you use the 1332 you have a 4x8 Matrix and can make it into 4 "SPDTs" [com(SPDT) = r0(Matrix), NC(SPDT) = c0(Matrix), NO(SPDT) = c1 (matrix)]. Both of these configurations will not really be normally closed, and you would have to configure it in software to close when you are using it.
If you are looking for a true SPDT I would look at the 1160, 1161 and 1166.
I am glad that it is working now, but I am still confused as to how you were having SW issues though. Maybe the device was being set up as a Traditional DAQ device and was installed on an OS that does not support Traditional DAQ? Resetting the device [for DAQmx use] may have fixed this? I am unsure without further information.

Dell VRTX to Cisco C3750G trunked LAG

I've got my Dell VRTX all setup and running. We bought extra NICs to map each blade into our segregated iSCSI network so it can communicate with the existing SAN for migration and that is all working.
I followed the instructions and configured a LAG on the Dell switch for external ports 1-4. I then applied the VLANs to the LAG group.
On the network side, I have a Cisco C375G switch stack with switches 1 and 2 as the redundant config for the servers. I've got port 1/0/3 setup in a standard trunk mode with the appropriate VLANs and I can communicate with my VM servers running on the VRTX via external port 1. However, I'm having issues getting a LAG configured on the Cisco so I can match the 4 LAG ports on the VRTX for better throughput.
Does anyone know how to do this?

Connecting a WS-C4948 to a Nexus 5010

is it possible to connect a WS-C4948 switch to a Nexus 5010? I have a flat network with no vlans.I know you are suppose to use the first 8 ports of the Nexus to get it to be on a 1GB port. What gbic am i to use on the ws-c4948 switch? if using a fiber cable or a rj45 cable?

I was able to get it to work.....thank you for the guys who responded!!
configuration on the WS-C4948:
interface GigabitEthernet1/48
description connection to nexus5010
media-type rj45
interface Vlan1
ip address 10.x.x.226 255.0.0.0
ip default-gateway 10.x.x.1

How to connet cisco 2960S switch to sony nexus 7?

I want to buy an cisco WS-C2960S-24TS-S switch to help me solve business networking problem. Can someone help me to connect cisco 2960s switch to nexus 7 ?

I don't need to do anything config on the new switch, I just need to upgrade the new switch's IOS version as the existing stack.
Correct. Upgrade using the command "archive download-sw" instead copying the BIN files.
After doing above task, I connect all stack cable and power cord as you said, and then the new switch can be synchronized with the MASTER switch. right??
Correct. The new switch should NOT have any configuration. This includes VLAN.dat file.

IP changes on a Cisco Switch Module for IBM BladeCenter

Hi everyone,
I was just wondering if anyone out there is using the MDS modules for IBM BladCenters and if so whether you had had any problems changing the IP details through the BladeCenter management interface. I needed to change a subnet mask but since making the change I've lost all IP connectivity to the module and it shows Status: Disabled under the new IP Details.
I've tried resetting the module to factory defaults and whilst this seems to have had some effect (e.g. the fc ports have all gone down) it has given me any IP connectivity or allowed me to set up a new IP address.
Has anyone else seen this and if so, how did you get round it.
Thanks,
David

Hi Mike,
I saw that it doesn't allow you to change any of the IP config through the CLI, hence why I moved on to trying the MM.
Fabric manager can't connect to the module on it's address (I was just correcting the subnet mask) and it is not pingable from anywhere on the network, so it seems to me that the IP path out through the MM isn't working.
I tried the same process on one of our test chassis and the same thing has happened there.
Configuration for that slot looks like this on the MM:
Bay 3 (Fibre SM)*
Current IP Configuration
Configuration method: Static
IP address: 172.20.221.9
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway address: 172.20.221.3
New Static IP Configuration
Status: Disabled
To change the IP configuration for this switch module, fill in the following
fields and click "Save". This will save and enable the new IP configuration.
IP address 172.20.221.9
Subnet mask 255.255.255.224
Gateway address 172.20.221.3
How does the MM communicate with the module (telnet/snmpv1/snmpv3/ssh?) and with what credentials. I'm thinking that there must be something in how we've configured the switches that is breaking this in some way (we've enabled aaa auth for login, removed some default SNMP details, and disabled the telnet server).
There seems to be rather a lack of docs on these modules, is there anywhere to find out more detail on how they all hang together.
Thanks for your interest and help,
David

How to manage dell-2816 switch from remote network..?

Hi,
According to below diagram how can i manage the dell-2816 switch from other network. It has management ip only worked on default vlan and default vlan is not editable also not routed ,we can only access the switch to connect laptop directly to switch port and if the port has default-vlan id-1 .
switch to switch trunk doing problem but when using the pvid as a access vlan ID then trunk is working between dell to juniper hope so cisco also work. But the major issue is remote manageability and also snmp , If switch does not getting ping from remotely then how the snmp will work ..?
Thanks

You would need a layer 3 device on the network that would route between the different networks/VLANs. Without a device performing VLAN routing, your only other option is to be on the VLAN 1 network.
If you have a client with dual nic ports, you may be able to assign 1 port the VLAN 1 network. The other port would be on the network with the rest of the devices.

How to connect our outbound function module to the message type

how to connect our outbound function module to the message type any transcation code exits to assign the message type with the function module .
Thank in advance .
A. Thiru

Hi Thiru,
Standard Transaction Codes, have their own Function Modules for generating Outbound/Indbound Idocs. Where these Function Modules will be configured to a particular Process Codes.
For E.g for PO's
Process code : ME10 - IDOC_OUTPUT_ORDERS - for creation
In case if its a Z Function Module, It depends on the case how you use IDOC types. either directly through Z Program or through Inbound/Outbound Process codes with respective Function modules.

Access Connections Ethernet Location Switching only saves one port at a time

Like many other people, I cannot get automatic location switching between two Ethernet networks to work properly.
I have two stored network locations; one for home and one for work. Both of these are set up as Best Available Network with both Ethernet and Wireless.
Under Tools - Location Switching, both networks are listed, and "Include Ethernet connections in automatic switching and prompt me to save Ethernet ports" is checked. However, in the details column, the current location has 1 saved port(s), and the other has 0 saved ports. The saved port is always the one most recently connected.
If I go to Edit Saved Ports, only one location is listed, with the correct IP address and MAC address for the router. If I connect at the other location, only that location is listed, again with the correct IP address and MAC address.
The router IP addresses are different (work is 192.168.0.1, and home is 192.168.1.254), and obviously the MAC addresses are different, so it should be possible for Access Connections to distinguish them. Unfortunately the only "editing" that is possible is to delete the saved port. I would be happy to add a saved port manually, but that is not an option. In addtion, despite the "...prompt me to save Ethernet ports" being checked, I have never received a prompt. Even if I delete the saved port, it resaves automatically next time without any prompt.
I have also tried setting up both locations as Ethernet only, but have exactly the same problem.
My T520 was supplied with Access Connections 5.85 preinstalled. I tried upgrading to 5.97 in the hope that it had been fixed in the meantime. Unfortunately it has not.
Access Connections is still marginally useful to me for automatic switching between Wireless and Ethernet, and for a simple manual switch of settings such as default printer, home page, and file sharing. However, it would be very useful for the home and work locations to be autodetected and switched.
From the number of unresolved questions on this board on the same topic, it appears that this is a long standing deficiency with Access Connections. Is there any chance of this being fixed?

I found from another bulletin board that ethernet location switching seemed to work OK with Access Connections 3.82, but stopped working with releases after that, and from my experience still does not work with 5.97

Two questions:
1. Does anyone know if Access Connections 3.82 works with Windows 7?
2. If so, where could I get a copy? The oldest version on the Lenovo website appears to be 5.50
I will refrain from commenting on the necessity of going back to such an old version to recover basic functionality for this utility......
