SRW224G4P uplink to catalyst 3560 switch trunk

I have many SRW224g4p switchs,and I use a catalyst 3560 for a core switch.
The SRW224g4p uplink to 3560 switch
What can I config the port of the 3560 to SRW224g4p(Their are many of vlans in my network)
and config the port of SRW224g4p to 3560's port
ps:config trunk port problem

Hi Wei,
Are you working on the Linksys SRW224G4P or the replacement Cisco (300 Series) SRW224G4P-K9-NA? Can you attach your 3560 Truk Port Configuration along with the VLAN Configuration?
Thanks,
Kevin

Cascade Catalyst 3560 switch for loaded traffic

I have a layer 3 Catalyst switch 3560 with 24 FE interfaces.
I need to pump traffic from traffic generator into port 1 and propagate it to other ports; the last port will be connected back to the traffic generator.
I suppose that I need to cascade some of the switchports but how do I configure the catalyst switch for this setup? Is it making use of routed port and static routing?

Hi Ankur,
Thanks for the reply.
The traffic generator are layer 3 interfaces which I can assign IP address.
You mentioned that I do not need any routing, but I require traffic coming from the traffic generator(e.g FE1) going into switchport 1 to traverse through the rest of the switchports before exiting from the last switchport back to the traffic generator(e.g FE2). Therefore, I need advice on how to setup the catalyst switch to achieve this.If I assign ip address for this traffic to end at the traffic generator-FE2, the generated traffic will enter the switch at switchport 1 and directly exit from the last switchport without any traversing done. Btw, do I need to cascade my switch with cross cable in this aspect?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
Regards,
Raymond

Limit bandwidth per user/computer using Catalyst 3560 switch

Hi -
Can someone help me getting started (if at all possible...) with enabling controll of used bandwidth at a "per-user"-level.
I wonder if it possible to do this dynamicly with respect to the overall demand from other users.
I've searching a lot, but I'm missing the terminology :)
Sincerly
Nicholas

To my knowledge, what you want to accomplish isn't possible on a 3560.
You can police at ingress, and if you use a policy map, you can police different "known" IPs.
What you could do, is police user ports ingress at some nomimal bandwidth, and if exceeded, mark the packets. Then on egress, you could direct those packets to an different egress queue with a lower bandwidth guarantee than the normal queue.

Dynamic VLANs on a Catalyst 3560

Hello,
I'm looking for a solution that would enable me to assign users to a specific VLAN based on MAC address. I'm using a Catalyst 3560 switch. Is there something similar to VMPS that would allow me to do this? I would like to run VMPS, but it looks like you need a VMPS server (catalyst 5000) to do this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

They can be is the answer; however they don't have to be. Not all Cisco IP Phones have an 802.1x Supplicant (I assume you are using Cisco IP Phones and Voice VLANs?), only the newer ones do I think (7941, 7961, 7970 etc). I think by default the Voice VLAN on the access port does not do 802.1x authentication so the Phones bypass any 802.1x authentication.
If you have non-Cisco IP Phones then there are some more hurdles like VLAN detection and depending on the Vendor this can be achieved in a number of ways. It's should all be possible though.

Catalyst 3750 Switch

How many total Vlans can you create in Catalyst 3750 Switch ? I read a document about Catalyst 3750 Switch. This document is said that "Although the switch stack supports a total of 1005 (normal-range and extended-range) VLANs, the
number of routed ports". However, I am not sure. Can you confirm for me ? Thanks

this link should be of some help to answer your question.

CISCO CATALYST 3560 SFP INTERCONNECT CABLE

What is the advantage of using this SFP cable over a 1000BaseT GBIC and daisy chaining the switches together?
Just curious???
Thanks!

The advantage comes down to cost. Whether you can realize this advantage depends on the distance between the two Catalyst 3560 switches.
If the distance is less than or equal to 50cm, then one SFP Interconnect Cable (CAB-SFP-50CM=) at US$250 is a much less expensive way to connect the two switches than two 1000BASE-T SFP (GLC-T=) at US$395 each = US$790 plus a Cat5 or better UTP Gigabit Ethernet crossover cable.
If the distance is greater than 50cm but less than or equal to 100m, then the 1000BASE-T SFPs are your least expensive option. The alternative is MM or SM fiber.
If you have to connect a Catalyst 3560 SFP interface to another Catalyst switch that takes GBICs, then the SFP Interconnect Cable is not even an option. From 0 to 100m, 1000BASE-T SFP and GBIC (WS-G5483=) would be your least expensive way to go.
If there's any chance you will be redeploying these switches somewhere else in the future, you may want to put the 1000BASE-T SFPs in now. That way you'll already have them when you need them later.

Catalyst 3560 24 port-PoE switch powers on but no STAT LED and console not responding

I rebooted my Catalyst 3560 24 port PoE switch and when it turned on only the STAT LED went green the other LEDs are off. I get no response from the console port using putty and the cable I used before this happened. I tested the cable on another switch and it works fine with putty. What can I do with this switch?

This unit was purchased before I came to our company. There is no support or maint contract. I'm sure the unit is several years old...we'll call the vendor and see what they'll do..not expecting much.

Catalyst 3560

I am considering adding a Catalyst 3560 to my network to run IP phones. I am a small business owner and not too hip on switches. I have about 15 phones to add to our existing network. I am looking at just getting a 24 port switch to handle the phones and keeping my data on an existing switch. The other option is to buy a 48 port switch for all of my devices. What do I need to consider?

It comes down to whether or not you want to put all your eggs in one basket. It is a matter of trade-offs:
One switch:
- easier managability
- only one device to maintain
Two switches:
- if one goes down, you don't lose everything
- you could spread your critical devices over the two
- you now have two switches to maintain and manage
There aren't any clear advantages either way, it's your call really...

Catalyst 3560 - performance issue

hello,
could someone provide me with info or link to document about maximum performance rate for routing of WS-C3560-24TS (24 10/100 + 2 Giga SFP) switch with configured desktop routing sdm template. Switch should serve as L2 for traffic coming from some interfaces, and as L3 for traffic coming from some other interfaces. In general, I am interested about info about performance comparison when different sdm templates/scenarios are deployed.
thanks in advance,

Using Catalyst 3550 Switch with Linksys Home Router and Cable Internet

I've about pulled what little hair I have out of my head on this one, and need some configuration help.
I have a Cisco Catalyst 3550 switch with five Windows 7 desktops, an Avaya PBX and five Avaya IP phones attached. All of these devices are on a 192.168.0.0/24 subnet, and are communicating properly. I will refer to this as network # 1. I also have SEPARATE network, we'll call network # 2, using AT&T ADSL service and a Netgear 4-port/wireless router/ADSL modem combo device, which is functioning properly with a couple of other Windows 7 desktops over its own wired Ethernet network, using DHCP, and also on a 192.168.0.0/24 subnet. I thought it would be a simple integration, just plugging one of the 3550's ports to one of the DSL router's ports, in order to give the five Windows 7 desktop computers on network # 1 internet access via the DSL modem. Guess I was wrong. When I connect the two switches together, although I get a good connectivity (green lights on both ports) and am able to ping the DSL router's gateway address (192.168.0.252) from network # 1's computers, the computers on network # 1 cannot access the internet. Also, the working computers on network # 2 lose their internet access as long as the two switches are connected together. I am not a Cisco guru, but there's got to be a way to make this scenario work. Can someone provide me with a 3550 configuration that will allow me to extend my internet service from network # 2 on the DSL router to my 3550 switch and their computers? Here's what I am looking for:
INTERNET ---> ADSL MODEM ---> NETGEAR ROUTER ---> CISCO 3550 SWITCH ---> NETWORK DEVICES WITH INTERNET ACCESS

The Netgear router is probably what's doing the natting. Is the 3550 configured for routing or is it straight L2? If you have the 3550 configured as L3, then it's going to be easy to do what you want. Just add a static route on the Netgear to point the subnet that it doesn't know about to the 3550. For example, if the Netgear is addressed at 192.168.1.1 and the Cisco 3550 is addressed at 192.168.1.2, but it also knows about the 192.168.0.0/24 (separate vlan), then you would put a static route on your Netgear for 192.168.0.0/24 to go to 192.168.1.2.
The way that I would do it is to create a separate vlan on the 3550 and assign an address to it. Once you do that, make the port that the other switch connects to an access port of that vlan. (It would need to be on the same subnet as the existing equipment.) All of your devices would use it as a default gateway and then you would do the rest as above. You could also use RIP between the Netgear and Cisco if you can't do static routing.

Catalyst 1900 switch issue - internal speed

Hello,
I have a catalyst 1900 switch which has been working for years without any issues. It is connected to a single subnet on one side (10 machines all on same class C) and to a service provider switch on the other.
Recently the ftp speeds from machine to machine on the inside became very slow (20K) on a 10M port, slightly faster on the 100M port.
The external (internet side) to internal machines however has not changed and is still fast as ever.
Has anyone ever come across this sort of problem and if so where could I start to troubleshoot it ?
Thank You
Burt

Hi,
Thank you for your response.
The switch (LAN side) is connected directly to 10 machines (these are webservers with multiple IPs configured)
xx.xx.xx.6-250
Switch itself is xx.xx.xx.254
*** Uptime is 19days (after a reset to try to find this problem)
*** STP (port fast mode) is enabled on all ports
*** Monitoring the receive statstics for each port shows FCS errors and Alignment Errors about 2% (each) of the total good frames. I am not sure if this is normal however there were always some FCS and Alignment errors.
*** Monitoring transmit statistics shows no errors.
*** the switch reloads when reset
*** not sure how to get crashinfo on this switch.
You can contact me offlist at [email protected] if you need report info as this appears to be limited to 4000 chars.
THank You
Burt

Configuring the Catalyst 6500 Switch for IPS Inline Operation of the IDSM

I understand how to configure the Catalyst 6500 switch so that the monitoring ports are access ports in two separate VLAN's for inline operation.
However, I don't see any documentation that describes how the desired VLAN traffic gets forced through the IPS.
In promiscuous mode, you can use VACL's to copy/capture and forward the desired traffic to the IDSM for analysis. I'm not seeing how to get the desired traffic through the IPS.
Note that the host 6500 is running native IOS 12.2(18)SXE.
Thanks for any assistance.

A tranparent firewall is a fairly good comparison.
Let's say you have vlan 10 with 100 PCs and 1 Router for the network.
If you want to apply a transparent firewall on that vlan you can not simply put one interface of the firewall on vlan 10. Nothing would go through the firewall.
Instead you have to create a new vlan, let's say 1010. Now you place one interface of the firewall on vlan 10 and the other on vlan 1010. Still nothing is going through the firewall. So now you move that Router from vlan 10 to vlan 1010. All you do is change the vlan, the IP Address and netmask of the router stay the same.
The transparent firewall bridges vlan 10 and vlan 1010. The PCs on vlan 10 ae still able to communicate to and through the router, but must go through the transparent firewall to do so.
The firewall is transparent because it does not IP Route between 2 vlans, instead the same IP subnet exists on both vlans and the firewall transparently beidges traffic between the 2 vlans.
The transparent firewall can do firewalling between the PCs on vlan 10 and the Router on vlan 1010. But is PC A on vlan 10 talks to PC B on vlan 10, then the transparent firewall does not see and can not block that traffic.
An InLine sensor is very similar to the transparent firewall and will bridge between the 2 vlans. And similarly an InLine sensor is able to InLine monitor traffic between PCs on vlan 10 and the Router on vlan 1010, but will not be able to monitor traffic between 2 PCs on vlan 10.
Now the router on one vlan and the PCs on the other vlan is a typical deployment for inline sensors, but your vlans do not Have to be divided that way. You could choose to place some servers in one vlan, and desktop PCs in the other vlan. You subdivide the vlans in what ever method makes sense for your deployment.
Now for monitoring multiple vlans the same principle still applies. You can't monitor traffic between machines on the same vlan. So for each of the vlans you want to monitor you will need to create a new vlan and split the machines between the 2 vlans.
In your case with Native IOS you are limited to only 1 pair of vlans for InLine monitoring, but your desired deployment would require 20 vlan pairs.
The 5.1 IPS software has now the capability to handle the 20 pairs, but the Native IOS software does not have the capability to send the 40 vlans (20 pairs) to the IDSM-2.
The Native IOS changes are in testing right now, but I have not heard a release date for those changes.
Now Cat OS has already made these changes. So here is a basic breakdown of what you could do in Cat OS and you can use in preparation for a Native IOS deployment when it gets released.
For vlans 10-20, and 300-310 that you want monitored you will need to break each of those vlans in to 2 vlans.
Let's say we make it simple and add 500 to each vlan in order to create the new vlan for each pair.
So you have the following pairs:
10/510, 11/511, 12/512, etc...
300/800, 301/801, 302/802, etc....
You set up the sensor port to trunk all 40 vlans:
set trunk 5/7 10-20,300-310,510-520,800-810
(Then clear all other vlans off that trunk to keep things clean)
In the IDSM-2 configuration create the 20 inline vlan pairs on interface GigabitEthernet0/7
Nw on each of the 20 original vlans move the default router for each vlan from the original vlan to the 500+ vlan.
At this point you should ordinarily be good to go. The IDSM-2 won't be monitoring traffic that stays within each of the original 20 vlans, but Would monitor traffic getting routed in and out of each of the 20 vlans.
Because of a switch bug you may have to have an additional PC moved to the same vlan as the router if the switch/MSFC is being used as the router and you are deploying with an IDSM-2.

Vlan mapping cisco catalyst 3560

Hello
which Cisco switches support vlan mapping ?
and did Cisco catalyst 3560 support vlan mapping or not ??
thank u

Thank u pdanekul
I know 3750 support vlan mapping but with 3560 i can not see vlan mapping config
switchport vlan mapping
and also i can not see it in cisco Catalyst 3560 Software Configuration Guide, Release 12.2(52)SE

Catalyst 3560 vs. Catalyst 3750 - 24 and 48p. 10/100/1000

I need some help in positioning the Catalyst 3560 against the Catalyst 3750 - (only 24 and 48p. 10/100/1000) Switches.
Under which circumstances should our customer buy 3560 and what are the arguments for the 3750 solution ?
What are the major differences ?
Thank you very much for your help !
Regards,
Cope

CAT3750 series support stackwise technology while 3560s do not. This is the main difference between 3560s and 3750s. The switching architecture between the two is very similar. Stackwise comes with lot of advantages. You can find more on CCO at
