MDS 9509 - Mgmt Interface alerts

I am seeing the following entries in the logs for my MDS 9509 :
2007 Feb 7 01:48:03 PORT 5 IF_UP Interface mgmt0 on slot 5 is up
There are no other entries in the log that the mgmt0 interface went down so why would alerts say that it is "up" ?

Looks like the mgmt interface has been bouncing up & down since Sept. What is this attached to? What does that log say? Is the duplex and speed the same on both sides? Can you replace the cable? Does the show interface mgmt 0 show increasing CRC and/or output errors? These are the things to look for. Try a new cable as it's the easiest and most probable issue.

MDS 9509 - How to filter interface email alerts

I have configured interface alert filters in the Admin/Events/Filters/Interfaces tab. In this tab I un-clicked the interfaces that I don't want to see alerts on. However, I still get email alerts on these ports that I un-clicked.

I believe this alert filter only applies to SNMP traps, by unchecking specific port you will not be getting link up/down generic SNMP
traps anymore.

MDS 9509 HTTP

How to you disable HTTP on a MDS 9509?

You can't. If your worried you can apply an access-list to the mgmt 0 interface to restrict who can access your MDS.

ISL Ports (E ports) on MDS 9509 are showing Gracefully Shutdown

We have an ISL connection between E mode ports of two MDS 9509 Switches . (FabricA)
Upon Health Check I found that these ISL ports on both the switches are down and when I checked syslogs on both switches they show "Interface X/X Gracefully shutdown"
I checked the Cisco document for this error which says -
"The Cisco NX-OS software implicitly performs a graceful shutdown in response to either of the following actions for interfaces operating in the E port mode:
If you shut down an interface.
If a Cisco NX-OS software application executes a port shutdown as part of its function."
So no one has shut down these ports manually and I am not sure what the second point (If a Cisco NX-OS software application executes a port shutdown as part of its function) means
I tried shut / no shut on these ports bt no go.
I need to know what could be the problem and its resolution.

Hi Vishwa,
Sounds like there is a problem between switches. Look at a "show interface" and see if it is "error disabled". I don't know the topology, maybe optical equipment or patch panel between switches? You can look at the signal levels on the interfaces with "show interface fcx/x after the no shut. The signal levels are not valid if the interface is not "in sync" but you can still get an idea of no receive signal. Do a "not shut" on both sides and look at the levels. Look for other messages in the logs at the same time and post those here.
Best regards,
Jim

SNMP OID for CPU and Memory Utilization on a MDS 9509

Does anyone know what the OIDs are for CPU and Memory utilization on a MDS 9509?
Thanks

CISCO-SYSTEM-EXT-MIB.my is a good place to start and you can determine the OID from the MIB.
Once you feel as though you are on the right track, have a look at:
http://www.oidview.com/mibs/9/CISCO-SYSTEM-EXT-MIB.html
I gather that what you need is:
1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.305.1.1.1
and
1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.305.1.1.2
Enjoy.

Does 3650 Mgmt Interface (Gi0/0) support SSH ?

Does anyone know if the WS-C3650-48PD supports (or not) SSH over the MGMT interface (Gi0/0) ?
I have it working with Telnet and the switch is configured with SSH enabled.
I can use SSH if I use in-band management (configure the switch IP on a VLAN interface instead of on the Gi0/0 interface), but when I try to open a SSH session over the MGMT interface I get "Connection refused" in my SSH client.
Is there something extra I need to do to make SSH work over MGMT ?
vrf definition Mgmt-vrf

Normally I would use "transport input ssh" - ie. no telnet - but this is the only way I've been able to use the MGMT interface so far and I'd rather not be using Telnet at all.
Thanks
David

Quicker than expected - quiet morning so far ;-)
#sh ip ssh
SSH Enabled - version 2.0
Authentication timeout: 60 secs; Authentication retries: 5
Minimum expected Diffie Hellman key size : 1024 bits
IOS Keys in SECSH format(ssh-rsa, base64 encoded):
ssh-rsa xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx...
I checked the SSH traffic from my client - I send SYN, get back RST - definitely an active refusal of the connection.
If MGMT Gi0/0 does support SSH, it's clear I'm missing something to enable it.
IOS is Cisco's current recommended for this platform and in the recommended installation mode
Switch Ports Model SW Version SW Image Mode
* 1 52 WS-C3650-48PD 03.03.05SE cat3k_caa-universalk9 INSTALL
If I move the management IP address off Gi0/0 and onto the management VLAN interface (management is then through Gi1/1/1 where the VLAN is trunked), it works fine and I can SSH to the switch with no other changes to the configuration (of course subsequently I want to disable Telnet)
I know can eliminate patching and routing/forwarding of the traffic as issues given Telnet and PING can reach the management IP address under both configurations. It's as if the MGMT interface just doesn't allow SSH by default (or possibly not at all)
If you have a working configuration you'd be happy to share, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks again
David

How to install software on MDS 9509 Switch

Hi,
One of our MDS 9509 switches has died. This used to be supported externally but has now been brought in house. A replacement box is due to arrive soon but I will nee to update the software to the same version that the old box was using and apply the config.
What procedure should I follow to do this? I've downloaded the following kickstart and image files ready to ftp across to the new box.
m9200-ek9-kickstart-mz.3.3.5a.bin m9200-ek9-kickstart-mz.3.3.5a.bin
is it simply a case of running the install all command?
Thanks
Darren

Also you will need to install license same as on old and restore config. Hope you had config backup somewhere. Additionally you will have to update port security schemes (if configured). Once all done, look for any zone merging errors or conflicts.
Good luck,
Nisar

Migrating from Brocade 2800/ 3900 to Cisco MDS 9509

What is the best procedure from migrating from Brocade 2800/3900/12000 to Cisco MDS 9509 especially connected to HP-UX and AIX server.
Without any Downtime I should be able to migrate these servers.
I thought about these options:
1. Use vgexport and vgimport or exportvg and importvg (AIX) after connecting to Cisco MDS. But this requires complete downtime on the application.
2. Take one path down or HBA down and switch the cable and vgextend the devices.
Please let me know if somebody has procedure.
I was successful in HP-UX server using the second options but I cant see all the LUNs. That might be array specific problem also.
If anybody has detailed procedure on migrating this scenario. please let me know.
We are using Persistent FCIDs on our MDS switches.
Thanks in Advance

After connecting 1 cable from server HBA to Cisco S/w, why you are not able to see all LUNs, did you cross-check that...I mean HBA Configuration (max 256 LUNs) or Disk Array library driver to be installed on host side.if that can be sorted out, you can mirror the volumes across the disk arrays.are you using HDS Arrays? I don't know but what is vgextend command you are mentioning...
also did you take a reboot of server or is it online addition on new LUNs...
Also any how if you are not able to see all LUNs that is going to be an issue later as well for migration...pls cross-check that...

Upgraded AP1231G still has old MGMT interface - issues connecting

Hi, I have a stand alone AP (Air-AP1231G-E-K9) which is not lightweight, or connected to a WLC, its a simple config with a Radio and Management interface.
The IOS was previously running c1200-k9w7-mx.122-13.JA1, so I upgraded the IOS to c1200-k9w7-mx.123-8.JA2 (Similar to some other working AP's I have), however there are problems with clients connecting to the AP, they doesn't see the AP.The configs on working and non-working AP's are identical (apart from IP's) and the only difference I can find is the web management interface screen which is different.There are more options on the newer working AP's with the new version of code and newer management interface,,, the AP I've upgraded has an older looking web management interface.
If i want to upgrade the files on the new AP to have the new Management interface over http working, what do I need to do, where do I get the files from, and what do I need to replace on the new AP along with the latest IOS to be able to configue this and hopefully get it working?
Thanks,
Brian

Hi Steve,
Thanks for that,so there must be another problem if the web mgmt interface did not upgrade during the new ios install (which was through the cli).is there a quick way to flush the old code + other directories on the AP's so I can try the IOS upgrade again from my tftp server?
Regards,
Brian

RVS 4000 HTTP mgmt interface hangs @ Port 80 & DHCP stops working

This is the RVS 4000
Firmware version 1.3.3.5
STAR 9202 Chipset
64 MB DRAM
8MB Flash
DOS, Block WAN Rq, Remote mgmt all OFF
IPSec Tunnel none used
Internet connection is DHCP
LAN is set to DHCP with several Static devices defined
DMZ is dsabled
Functionining as a gateway
Time is set via NTP & the NRC
IPV4 Only
Everything is pretty much dedault except for QoS
Trust mode is Port, set to 4, 4, 4, 1
( Port 4 has a Linksys ATA plugged into it for VOIP services )
SIP Port Forwarding is enabled for 5060
Every day or so the Router becomes unresponsive to the HTTP mgmt interface, as well as it no longer offers DHCP services.
When this happens the only remedy is to power reboot.
Everthing comes back online just fine, however, the LOGS are initilaized so no data to figure out what`s going on.
My next step is to setuo a syslog server and have the logs copied out.
Anyone see this kind of behavior before ?
Any ideas ??
( No, I have no Torrents running at all, but I do have several devices like AppleTV, PS3s etc that run streaming Video plus I have the SPA3102 )
Thanks Derek

Hi there Vijay !
I cannot upgrade to that version of Firmware as my RVS4000 is a V1, not a V2.
Is there some way I can change it such that it will load the newer Firmware ?
This is the error I receive when trying to upgrade anyway :
"Upgrade file is not the correct type or version for this device.
Upgrade failed.
Please obtain the correct file and try again."
Otherwise the newest firmware I can load is 1.3.3.5
( which seems to have this problem )

WLC 5508 Cant get access via the Mgmt Interface

Hello everybody,
i have a wlc 5508 (version 7.0.98.0) , if i'm pinging the service port interface or try to get access via this interface, everythings is fine, but if cant get access via the management interface. (but its pingable)
the crazy thing is, that the LAP joined successful ti the wlc, but the Upgradetool (converting an AP to an LAP) doesnt work, because the tool cant reach the mgmt interface of the wlc.
there are no ACLs, which are blocking the traffic between wlc and my computer
Does anyone has an idea, what i've configured wrong???
regrads,
Rocco

i have no access to the switch port, where the controller is connected to, but i know that this port permits access to the vlans which are used

Backup Port of WLC 5508 MGMT interface

Dear All,
Since WLC5508 MGMT interface is configured a AP-Mgr at the same time, can I set a Backup Port to WLC5508 MGMT interface?
Refer to WLC configuration Guide:
In the Backup Port text box, enter the number of the backup port assigned to the management interface. If the primary port for the management interface fails, the interface automatically moves to the backup port.
NoteDo not define a backup port for an AP-manager interface. Port redundancy is not supported for AP-manager interfaces. If the AP-manager interface fails, all of the access points connected to the controller through that interface are evenly distributed among the other configured AP-manager interfaces
I am confuse on this. Thus, if I need to configure the backup port for MGMT interface, i need to remove the AP-manager on MGMT interface and create a network dynamic interface for AP-Manager ?
Thanks all.
Jeff Chiu

Jeff:
You are right. The config guide is confusing.
The config guide is talking about AP-Manager interfaces you create other than the management one. For the management interface it is called "management" but it acts as an AP-Manager interface as well. When the config guide metnions "AP-Manager interface" it does not mean the management interface but it means AP-Manager interfaces that you create beside the management interface.
So, for the management interface you can create a backup port and I think if you are not using LAG it is a best practice to define a backup port for management.
For other AP-Manager interfaces that you create (other than the management interface) you don't need to define the backup port.

Cisco MDS 9509 and HP Blade server problem

I have a big problem , when i connected to MDS 9509 to HP VC-FC 8GB the module in MDS 9509 did not detect the HP module . I think this will be because MDS 9509 uses VSAN technology , but HP blade is not support this feature. Please help me

I am fairly certain that the HP blade chassis has HP branded Brocade FC switches. These switches need to be placed into AG mode and rebooted. On the Cisco MDS core the NPIV feature must be enabled.
Here is more info on the Brocade AG mode -

Cisco SUP MGMT Interface Support L2 switchport mode?

Does the Cisco Supervisor MGMT interface support to be converted to a switchport to be assigned to a specific VLAN? The same question for 3750 switches and other switches.

No. They do need to have an IP address configured as they are actually routed ports.
The address needs to be in the subnet associated with the VLAN it plugs into in the switching infrastructure.

Interop problem between brocade 300d/200e and MDS 9509

Hi, I want to know if mds 9509 can interop with the SAN equipment below.
If yes, can you help me to configure (VSAN and type of ports - TE or T or F).
I tried with the interop VSAN 1 and 3, but there is still no communication.
MDS 9509
kickstart: version 5.2(2d)
system: version 5.2(2d)
and
Brocade 200E or 300D
V6.1.0J

You want Cisco MDS to be the principal switch, this is all explained in the FC standards.
The switch with the lowest wwn becomes the principal switch if the domain priorities set the same.
It is all explained in MDS config guide:
