I want your valuabale opininon on ESW 500 series switches

In my offiec i want to connect 8 accesspoints and 8 smart boad and 8 pcs to a switch the access points are cisco 1240g series and controlled by a wlan controller.
this switch should be connected to a core switch 4507 using fiber.
can i use these esw switches for this

Not sure what you mean by 8 smart boad - can you be more clear on that?
Couple of comments:
- Please note that we recommend the ESW in a Cisco Small Business type deployment with products such as UC500, SR500, AP500. Also, management is via a configuration utility GUI or CCA, not CLI as you would use for the Cisco Catalyst switches. Check this discussion which has a PDF that goes over positioning of the switches- https://www.myciscocommunity.com/message/8385#8385
- Please check the POE requirements you need against the ESW switches - check the question on at Q & A
Q. How many devices can the Cisco ESW 500 Series PoE switches power?

How to erase all configuration in Cisco ESW 500 Series Switches

Hi anybody,
Anyone show me how to erase or remove configuration file from ESW 500 Series Switches?
Thanks
Thuc

Hi Thuc,
The restart / reset function will allow for local or remote reset of the the unit to Factory defaults, see screen capture below. ;
Alternatively, the Switch can be reset by inserting a paper clip into the RESET opening on the friont of the switch.
Pressing the manual reset for 0 to 10 seconds only reboots the switch.
Pressing the manual reset for longer than 10 seconds results in the switch being reset to factory defaults.
does this answer your question, not exactly sure it does ?

Connecting two cisco ESW 500 series switches.

Hi Experts,
I have a basic knowledge of network and need some help.
I have two cisco ESW 500 series switches and i want to connect them together.
Q1 # Which type of cable i should use to connect these two switches CrossOver or fiber...What is the advantage of using Fiber over CrossOver. ?
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.

I need online Configuration Guide for Catalyst Express 500 Series Switches

Hi Mates,
Please is there an online help page for 500 series catalyst
I have this one for IOS 12.2(25)FY http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6545/products_configuration_example09186a00806da6c9.shtml
but I need more detailes like IOS 12.3(7)JA for Aironet 1300 http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps5861/products_configuration_guide_book09186a00804ebd50.html
Regards
Saher

I'm afraid there is not such document for IOS 12.2(25)FY since the Catalyst Express 500 Series switches are manageable through the GUI Device Manager or Cisco Network Assistant.
I have also found key features and standards supported for that release:

Cisco 500 series switches

Dear support,
Can Cisco 500 series switches deliver 24V on the access port for POE operation?
Best Regards

I belive the 802..2F and 802.2at poe standard is strictly 48v. I haven't found anything to the contrary. There are inline convertes 48v-24v or something like this that can be used with a non poe switch: http://www.digital-loggers.com/poe24.html but that means all conected device would be off the same access port / vlan.

10.0.0.0 range not allowed on 500 series switch

I effectively now have a paper weight. I have 10,000 devices with IP addresses in the 10 range. Yet my switch does not allow an IP in this range. Does anyone know of a way to fix this design flaw?

By "not supporting it," do you mean that you can't put an administrative address on it for management, or that it doesn't pass traffic that carries a "10. " address?
Because if you're saying that it won't pass the traffic, then I'd say you have a dead switch, because L2 switches don't know (or care) what the L3 address is.
If you're saying that you can't use "10. " addresses for management ... I'd also have to say that it's unlikely, and you have a config problem or a dead switch.
The express 500s are L2 switches, so there's no such thing as layer 3 (IP addressing) from the switch's point of view.
Try posting your config.
Good Luck
Scott

Catalyst 500 series

hi,
i have a question regarding cisco 500 series switches and it is that if we want to shut down this switch remotely then is it possible or it has to be done manually by going to the switch location and disconnecting the power supply because i dont see a power off or shut down option if it is accessed remotely like from a pc.
regards
Ahmed

I don't think many devices are meant to be shutdown. As soon as there is power they run. That's what they are made for.
What do you wish to acomplish with the shutdown?
Cheers,
Michel

Catalyst Express 500 series connection problems

Hello! our company is currently using two 500 series switch connected to eachother using the g1/1000mbits port, a cisco router is also plugged in to one of the switches for broadband internet access. After deployment the following problems came up, we are unable to use our wireless access point even when the port is set up as being "access point" using the smartports feature, we simply cant ping the access point no matter what port type we set on the switch and we keep having the error message on the router that it has denied connection from that device, my feeling is that for some reason i'm not aware of the router is blocking certain devices to transfer data no matter what type of port we define on the smartports feature. I cant find anyway or option on the router software to disable this blocking or filtering of the data in order to connect any devices i want normally without any restrictions. for some reason the switch is not accepting connections from the access point...
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi, well, i did disabled STP but it didnt help, i'm going to post the network topology more exactely and the settings being used so its easier to get any help as i think i missed some points about our network :) ....so here it goes :
1. All the devices and client computers are using fixed ip addresses on the range 192.168.254.x
2. Topology :
Switch number 1 connected devices:
17 client computers connected
1 printer
1 cisco router (with dhcp disabled and using fixed ip too)
1 Netgear AP using set with DHCP
Switch number 2 connected devices:
10 client computer connected
Switch 1 and 2 are connected using the G1/1000mbits uplink port
Settings being used on BOTH switches (they are both catalyst 500,same software version) :
- default vlan1 is set and enabled
- STP enabled
- IGMP snooping enabled
- all ports are enabled and set to auto mode for speed and duplex
- port Gi1 that is used to connect both switches is set as "Switch" type with smartports.
- gateway (cisco router) ip address set
- security set to "low"
- STP settings on switch 1:
currents roots: VLAN1 , priority:32768 , root port: fa24 (where the router is connected), route path:38
- STP settings on switch 2:
currents roots: VLAN1 , priority:32768 , root port: Gi1 (uplink to switch 1), route path:42
switch 1 specific settings:
- the port where the AP is connected is set using smartports as "Access Point" and the port where the printer is connected is set as "Printer" also using smartports on the switch device manager software.
- the port where the cisco router is connected is set as "router" with smartports
Facts:
- I am able to ping all the devices on the network from any computers connected to both switches.
- I am able to ping the printer from any computer connected to both switches as well.
- When AP is connected directly to the cisco router wireless clients have access to internet with no problems
- all wired client computers on both switches connect to the internet using the router without problems.
Issues:
- Cannot ping the AP from any client computer on the network
- When printing from Switch 1 clients everything goes well, but when i print from clients on Switch 2 i am unable to print as its unable to connect to the printer, however i can ping the printer on the command-line !
- When i try to plug in the network cable from the AP to its designated port on Switch 1 the network crashes !
Error messages:
When trying to print from clients on Switch 2 or when try to connect and use AP on switch 1 i get or "access denied to device connecting to portxx" or i get an STP blocking error .
Hope the picture is clearer now.
thanks once more.
Fernando.

Cisco 500 Series 802.1x Requirements

Hello,
Does anyone have a guide on how to setup 802.1x on the Cisco 500 Series Switches.
I have done the whole implamentation in the past with Catalysts and ACS.
But would like to see a guide for the 500 series.
Do we need the Cisco ACS or can we use RADIUS on Windows?

Hi Peter, you may use IAS or any radius you prefer. To my knowledge the admin guide is the only documentation. You may check the Cisco knowledgd base as well.

ESW 500 Spanning Tree Protocol

Hi:
I have designed my network as Follows:
Cisco Catalyst 3750G Stack as the Core Switches
Cisco ESW 500 Switches as the Edge switches
I am trying to configure Spanning tree on my network with The Core Switches as the root. But i am having a problem with that.
I set the Catalyst 3750 as the root Bridge for all Vlans. But i am having a hard time to configure that on the ESW 500 Switches, as there is no place to configure Per VLAN spanning tree.
Once I configure trunk Ports between the Core and the Edges. The Edge Switches don't consider the the Catalyst 3750G as the root, although it is configured with 0 Periority.
Can you please help me with that?

Hi Mohamed,
Thank you for participating in the Small Business support community. My name is Nico Muselle from Cisco Sofia SBSC.
The reason for this not to work is the following : The ESW switches do not support PVST(+) or PVRST like the 3750G does, on the other hand, they support STP, RSTP, and MSTP (MSTP is not supported on the 3750)
So, keeping this in mind, it will not be possible to implement your STP per vlan. In this scenario however, where you set the 3750 as a root bridge for all VLANs, you could easily use RSTP, which is functional on both 3750 and ESW500 switches.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Nico Muselle

ESW-500 & SPA525G CDP issue

Hi, I have an ESW-500, a SPA525G (also tried 504G), Polycom IP330/670 phones, and a Switchvox (Asterisk-based IP-PBX) and CDP causes some issues.
Both the SPA5xx and Polycom phones support CDP but it appears to operate differently between the phones. And, surprisingly, worst of all on the SPA's.
In short:
* Switch - CDP enabled (VLAN 100), DHCP disabled (Option 82 enabled) which is basically how it comes out of the box
* Polycom phones - CDP enabled (default)
* Cisco phones - CDP enabled (default)
* DHCP/TFTP server on port 1
* Phones on ports 7,15,19 - default as smartports for Desktop & Phone
* Switchvox on port 17 - port configured as General (not Trunk) with 1U & 100U VLANs. This was required to get Polycom phones to appear in Switchvox config
With that configuration the Polycom phones work perfectly. They appear in the switch web-GUI under CDP, they present in Switchvox and can be configured.
But with that configuration although the Cisco phones appear in the CDP screen they do not get DHCP. My DHCP server can see 'DHCP Discover' messages but it just goes around in circles. Disabling CDP on the switch will allow the phone to get an IP but disabling CDP on the phone still has the same problem. When I saw "around in circles" this is what I mean....

With the difference being there's a 'DHCP Inform Msg' which there never is from the Cisco.
I have tried many options regarding DHCP Relay, DHCP Server addresses, DHCP VLAN Interfaces, smartport settings etc but with CDP enabled the Cisco phone just will not get DHCP.
Any ideas why not?

Yes, You will run into this problem due to CDP.
Easier way to fix this is to Turn off CDP in ESW 500.
Go into Cisco ESW 500 (While SPA Phone is not connected)
On the left side:
Monitor & Device Properties
SNMP and Than CDP
You will notice CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol) is enable and routing all Voice Traffic to VLAN 100
You can turn off CDP and your SPA will start working with ESW 500.
Or
You will need to properly configure and route the VLAN traffic.
