Map Traffic over GE links with Etherchannel in 4500 platform

Hi,
Does anybody have experience with the command "show platform software etherchannel..." over 4500s?
For instance:
sw#sh platform software etherchannel port-channel 3 map ip 10.1.1.1 10.1.1.3
Map port for Ip 10.1.1.1, 10.1.1.3 is Gi3/3(Po3)
NOTE: Software forwarded traffic will use Gi3/1(Po3)
We are concerned about the "Software Forwarded Traffic". One could think that is related to CPU forwarded traffic (L2 control traffic eg, CDP, PAgP, etc etc).
However in some tests we are suspecting that ICMP traffic is passing through that link instead of the the link mentioned as "map port" (ICMP traffic not originated nor received at the switch).
Is this command 100% reliable ?
Thanks

You can use the following command to verify which type of traffic (source/destination,
mac/ip/l4-port) would select which member port within etherchannel.
show platform software etherchannel port-channel map mac
ex :
Cat4507#$e etherchannel port-channel 2 map mac 0000.0000.0000 1111.1111.1111
Map port for mac 0000.0000.0000, 1111.1111.1111 is Fa4/48(Po2)
NOTE: Software forwarded traffic will use Fa4/48(Po2)
Use the above command for a channel that is up.

Adding another link with etherchannel-PAGP

Hi all,
I have a 10g trunk link between my two 4510 coreswitches. Now the utilization on this link is shooting up to 9.5gb which is forcing us to put another 10g link between these two switches.
We are planning to configure Etherchannel-PAGP. There should be any sort of downtime on the current link while adding another link to it.
How do i add another link with etherchannel -PAGP with out having downtime on the current link? could you please guide me on this?
Thanks
Shibu

Shibu,
Jon is 100% correct, that since this is not already and Etherchannel, there will be downtime, but it should be minimal. Now, what you could do, is depending on your physical topology, you should connect these two switches together with a GigbitEthernet link in the meatnime, it will be blocked by spanning tree (if it's a L2 port), since the 10G link will be give priority by default. Then you could afford downtime on the 10 gig link, while you create an etherchannel, If these two links are L2, you could configure UplinkFast, so the switchover is VERY fast.
I've done this same setup before when making changes, but it all depends on if you can acutally physically do that. If not, you will have some downtime involved.
You can also, just configure all this on notepad, and copy and paste.

Vpc bind-vrf on Nexus 7000/N7k to ensure forwarding of multicast traffic over peer-link?

In previous vPC setups with N5k (or also N6k), I had to use the 'vpc bind-vrf' command to ensure the forwarding of multicast over the vpc peer-link, especially for receivers in in non-vPC VLANs and the receivers connected to Layer 3 interfaces.
I am wondering why this command isn't available on N7k? Isn't this necessary on this platform or is it just not yet implemented?
Any hint is welcome!
Stephan Strack

Hey Stephan,
The 'vpc bind-vrf' command allocates a special internal VLAN for routing traffic over the vPC peer-link to ensure L3 connections on the vPC peer or orphan ports successfully receive multicast traffic on N5k/N6k platforms. This workaround is not needed on the N7K because that platform implements the vPC loop prevention rule differently in hardware.
In short, 'vpc bind-vrf' is not required on N7K.

Slow Query over Database Link with Bind Variable

I have a query over a DB link, with all tables on the remote database.
If I use a bind variable (from Toad), the query takes 4 minutes. If I replace the bind variable with a constant or substitution variable, it takes 1 second.
The query runs fine when run directly on the remote database using bind variable.
9.2.0.7

Look up "Bind variable peeking"
What's happened is you have an execution plan that differs from the one with the constant. Why? My bet is that Oracle "peeked" at the bind variable to help it decide which execution plan to build. It then cached it. It probably cached an execution with an index when it should be doing a full table scan or a hash join instead of a nested loop. It's hard to say specifically what it is.
Try this, flush your shared pool and rerun the query with the bind and let us know if it takes 1 second or 4 minutes. If it takes 1 second, then that was probably it.
Read part 2 of Tom Kyte's blog post on what it is and it's behavior.

Muliticast Traffic Over ATM Link

Hi,
I have a ATM link (45Mb/s) between 2 location . In one of my locations I multicast 4 diffrent Video traffic. But my 4 multicast traffic is going to the source router by 1 Fastethernet port and after that it's going to destionation over the ATM link. now I have a issue on destionation . I need to seperate 4 multicast traffic on the destionation router . it has to be 1 on of my multicast traffic going through VLAN 123 and other 3 multicast traffics going through VLAN 200.
now all of the multicast traffic is going trough vlan 123.
any body can help me on this issue?
thanks

Open google maps, youtube, video etc links with app instead of browser?

According to the search maps and youtube won't ask if you want to use an app to open the links because google doesn't see firefox as a mobile browser (which is weird given that it will always load the mobile youtube site...)
But the same thing happens when I want to watch streams from other websites. Instead of asking me if I want to open media files using an app it will automatically use the built in player. But I want to open media with a different player (mx player) as I don't really like the firefox player.
How can I have firefox ask me to pick an app/browser to open certain things like google map links, youtube links, media file link (mp4 etc)?

My biggest bugbear with the Play Store opening in the browser is that it's slower than the native app, so waiting for the page to load before given the option to launch the app isn't a lot of help. Would it be possible to have an option to automatically load such pages in the associated app? Perhaps when using the address bar icon it could ask "Do you want to do this automatically in future? Yes/No/No and don't ask again".

Propagation over DB link with connection qualifier

I have been unable to get propagation between two 10.2.0.4 databases running across a dblink that includes a connection qualifier. The dblink is a fixed user link created like:
CREATE DATABASE LINK "DB4.WORLD@TRAINING"
CONNECT TO TRAINING
IDENTIFIED BY <pw>
USING 'DB4';
An "ORA-02019: connection description for remote database not found" error is thrown when AQ tries to propagate the message.
If the dblink is recreated
CREATE DATABASE LINK "DB4_TRAINING.WORLD"
CONNECT TO TRAINING
IDENTIFIED BY <pw>
USING 'DB4';
along with the underlying schedules and subscribers everything works fine. The "DB4_TRAINING.WORLD" name does not comply with global names which is what brought this all up. At this point the global_names parameter is still set to false on both databases.

Hi,
Then as I understand you do
CREATE DATABASE LINK "DB4.WORLD"
CONNECT TO TRAINING
IDENTIFIED BY <pw>
USING 'DB4';Regards,
Jari

MPLS over Serial links with Hardware Compression

We have a core network comprising multiple nodes (2821s) with 256K - 2M Serial links joining them. The network currently support MPLS TE tunnels to provide load balancing across multiple paths within the core network. I am aware that it is not possible to run software compression (STAC) on these links as MPLS requires CEF switching to work and software compression results in process switching. Is it possible to implement hardware compression and CEF switching concurrently and hence MPLS functionality or will packets still be process switched?

Martin,
thanks for the suggestion. It works correctly but has highlighted what I believe to be an IOS bug. With MPLS packet debugging enabled on an intermediate router it works fine. Without MPLS packet debugging the intermediate router forwards the paket untagged out the wrong interface. Time for a TAC case.

Ethernet over Public link with Cisco 65XX Series

We are transferring some equipment from one datacenter to another and we do not have private line connectivity between them at the current time.
We are hoping to be able to temporarily be able to establish some type of Layer2 connectivity between the facilities to help allow us to spread out the migration into 2 events. We have Cisco 65XX series switches at the core at both facilities and I am wondering what we might be able to use to make this happen?
EoMPLS is out as we have to be able to extend the layer2 functionality across carrier networks and L2TPv3 is not supported on Cisco 65XX from what I have read / checked on our switches (if there is an IOS version that does support it, please let me know).
I have read a bit about VPLS over GRE but I am not clear on the configuration and/or if it supported as it references MPLS at various points within the documentation that I have read.
Any guidance would be appreciated.

I've absolutely no idea if this would help in your case.
But anyway, I think 6500 handles DMVPN. May be MPLS over DMVPN would be a solution?

Private vlan over dot1q trunks with etherchannels

Dear Freinds,
I need to know whether can i use trunks in etherchannel for Private Vlans.
regards
Manish Shamjee

Hello manish,
You would need to elaborate more on that.
Are you trying to 'trunk' primary private vlan's or secondary private vlans? Or are you trying to configure private vlans on ports that are etherchannels?
Read this "Do not configure private VLAN ports as EtherChannels. While a port is part of the private VLAN configuration, any EtherChannel configuration for it is inactive"
The above is from the pvlan guidelines and restrictions found here:

Best way to pass IPv4 and IPv6 traffic over a GRE Tunnel

Hello,
We have two 3825 routers with Advanced Enterprise IOS 12.4.9(T). Each of them serves many IPv4 (private and public) and IPv6 networks on their respective site.
We have created a wireless link between the two, using 4 wireless devices, with IP Addresses 10.10.2.2, 3, 4, 5 respectively (1 and 6 are the two end Ethernet interfaces on the routers).
Then we created a GRE tunnel over this link using addresses 172.16.1.1 and 2 (for the two ends) to route traffic over this link.
Now we want to route IPv6 traffic over the same link. However, we found that simply routing the IPv6 traffic over the above GRE / IP tunnel did not work.
Questions:
Is there a way we can use the same (GRE / IP) tunnel to transport both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic?
If not, can we setup two GRE tunnels over the same wireless link, that is, one GRE / IP for IPv4 traffic and a second one GRE / IPv6 for IPv6 traffic?
In brief, what is the suggested way to transport IPv4 and IPv6 traffic over the aforementioned (wireless) link?
I have read http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios/12_4/interface/configuration/guide/inb_tun.html#wp1061361 and other Internet material, however I am still confused.
Please help.
Thanks in advance,
Nick

We have set up two tunnels over the same link, one GRE / IP for the IPv4 traffic and one IPv6 / IP ("manual") for the IPv6 traffic. This setup seems to be working OK.
If there are other suggestions, please advise.
Thanks,
Nick

Unable to map WebDAV over SSL

Hello,
I have following issue: I have a WebDAV Windows Server 2012 with IIS and SSL signed by StartCom (so it is trusted by default). On Windows 8, I have no problem to map WebDAV over HTTP, however with HTTPS, I am unable to map it. I keep getting prompted for
credentials all the time. I have tested this both on Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 RTM.
Now the issue is that when I tried it on Windows 7, it mapped on both HTTP and HTTPS. I really have no idea what I am doing wrong, but I believe this could be client related rather than related to Windows Server and the WebDAV setup.
Thank you.
Edit: When running net use * https://files.domain.com in cmd under Windows 8, I get directly error 1790, on Windows 7, I am prompted for username and password.
Edit 2: When running net use * "\\files.domain.com@SSL\" /User:username password, on Windows 8, I get directly 1244 error.
Edit 3: As such as it seems, this issue seems to be related to:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/1a3c29ab-d038-4132-af99-b85bce51b5c2/sslv2-being-used-with-webdav, since the symptoms seem to be the same, however there is no solution provided on that thread.
Edit 4: After running Microsoft Network Monitor, I can confidently say that the issue is indeed with the SSLv2 being used for WebDAV communications. See attached image.
Full size picture...
Edit 5: I just used Network Monitor on Windows 7, where the drive maps correctly over SSL, see the difference in a picture below.
Full size picture...

Thank you for your suggestion.
However that tutorial doesn't exactly apply on my situation, this issue seems to be Windows 8/8.1 related, since everything works correctly under Windows 7. I added screenshots from Microsoft Network Monitor, both Windows 8 and Windows 7 while mapping
the same WebDAV drive. Windows 7 is successful, however Windows 8 seems to fail during the SSL handshake.

Cursor arrow does not become hand-with-finger over some links.

Recently, on some web pages, the arrow cursor doesn't become a pointing finger when placed over a link on a web page. Usually these are links at the top of the screen. If I try to right-click to open the link, the "open" is gray (inactive). For instance, on the current Firefox page, I cannot click on the Sign Out, Inbox, Other Applications, etc. I cannot click on the Search Firefox Help display.
However, I can click on the Features, Mobile, Add-ons, etc. at the bottom of the screen.

Recently, the Yahoo Toolbar and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause that problem. They seem to overlap invisibly over the top of the web page display. If you have either or both, uninstall or disable them/it, or see if an update is available that solves the problem.

FXO traffic is going over Wan link after enabling QoS

Hi,
We have CCM 5.0,2811 voice gateway,1 4FXO and 1 g.shdsl card on it. 4 Telco lines are on 4FXO card.CCM is at the other side of g.shdsl line.Topology like that,
2811 ---------------- CCM
4fxo g.shdsl
When a call receives from FXO port, system is working normally without QoS. When we enable QoS traffic,traffic is going over wan link then return again.Because of that,delays and timeouts occuring.Router's config is at the attachment. Please Help!
Thank you

Check your H323 gateway config in CCM to be sure the Media Termination Point Required box is unchecked. Using MTP forces the call to terminate on the closest MTP resource which is likely at your CCM site.
Please rate helpful posts.
