Protocols for switches 300 series and 500 series

These protocols are supported by switches of the 300 series and 500 series?
TCP
UDP/Unicast
UDP/Multicast
UPnP
RTCP
RTSP
Thanks

Dear Alejandro,
If you mean weather the switch can pass through these protocols the answer is a definite yes. If you meant something else can you please describe what you meant?
For example TCP is supported in a manner that it can filter trafic based on TCP port (Layer 3+ functionality), so can it do for UDP. Multicast is also handled via IGMP support. Regarding RTCP and RTSP how / for what would you use it?
Thanks and regards,
Zsolt

Scripting reboot for Cisco 300 Series switches

I would like to have some help putting together a script for rebooting our 300 series POE switches. I have about 150 at this stage to administer and it would make it much easier not to have to remotely reboot them. The IP settings will be the same for each location and we have about 2-5 in each location. I will be logging in through logmein to each remote server, and will run the scripts from this to the local switches. Any help would be appreciated.

I was playing with my Indigo on an SG-500 and it seems to work. Create a session for each switch and in the session properties for each switch enter your crendentials (user/pass) IP/port, etc, I was using telnet, port 23 for this and then under the send command tab, on connection I entered:
reload
y
One command per line up to 20 commands I believe and it connected, I saw my prompts and replies and then shutting down.
So if you try this you can just go down the file tree list for switches with cameras than need a reboot and restart the entire switch if you like, quick and easy.
You could also add a folder for each switch and a session in that folder possibly for each camera/port with online port number changing for each camera in the session properties and then selectively cycle power for just the affected cameras.
Example for port 22/camera xxxx:
conf t
int gi22
power inline never
power inline auto
It would take a fair amount of time to set up but once done you could just pick a switch folder and the port in that switch to cycle. If you have multiple port on a switch you could use
conf t
int range gi22-24
or
int range gi1,6,16,20
power inline never
power inline auto
might have to verify that syntax

CCA for 100 + 300 series switches?

Is it in the roadmap to provide CCA control over 300 series switches? We have a lot of SRW2008's put in before the 8-port ESW existed...and we have PITA vlan consistency issues out there too that I think CCA would help fix.
While I understand the "don't pre-announce products", I need a level of design intent around CCA - is it a tool for configuring UC series pieces primarily and all else is secondary? Or is it the multi-device config tool for all SBCS pieces?

Nothing to do with the UC - primary concern is standalone networks.
Real life case:
2 ESW switches in control room hooked up to SA540
Closet switches are SRW2008's
Port no more than two devices are supposed to go now has 4, add an SRW2008 to the desk location.
Now, it turns out that there is a badly behaved device at the desk - a video player that spews all sorts of traffic when it's playing that doesn't play nice with others. So I now need to set-up a VLAN crossing those two switches. Oh, and it turns out the customer decided to unplug an access point and plug it into that switch too which ended up causing a loop when the PC plugged into ethernet someplace else attached to the PC.
Tasks:
Ensure that the 2 SRW2008's have proper vlan assignments to setup a port vlan for that video server.
Issues:
Make sure you assign proper configs to both ends of each link
Make sure not to confuse one SRW2008 with another
If new vlan, make sure all other ports that need to see it can still see it.
Applications for CCA:
Visualize all VLANS
Document port assignments (i.e. where is the video server vs. printer on that last leg 2008)
More easily see port statistics across multiple switches
So after I did that work, I realized that the SA540 wasn't really up to being an aggregation switch too and made the ESW-540-48 into the aggregation switch which required some more changes - however CCA made it easy...
At another job, I have SA540 + AP541ns (upgraded from RVL200 + WAP54GP's) but if I had 300 series in CCA, I'd upgrade the SRW2024's and SRW2008's but without easy management tools, the labor cost will be too high to make their networks really managed.....CCA makes that layer of management cheaper.

Protocol for energy saving settings and external drives?

This procedure has bugged me for years. I never really got the answer I have been looking for. Here we go...what energy savings settings do most of you use? Do I allow the Mac Pro to sleep? Do I allow hard drives to spin down? Do I shut everything down at the end of the day? I have an external G-Tech 4 TB Thunderbolt drive for my media. It seems like it spins down multiple times a day if I leave my machine for a while. Do the energy settings have any effect on that drive or is that programmed in from G-Tech? See what I'm getting at? Basic questions, just would to know what everyone is doing?
I will really appreciate any feedback. Thanks very much.
Best.
Tom

I don' think there is any right answer to this. Everyone has their own preferred way of working.
I set the computer to never go to sleep. I set the screen to dim after 15 minutes. Never let the hard drive go to sleep, which is of course academic for SSD as they don't sleep like spinning drives. I

Cisco 300 series switches with 802.3at standard

I'm a bit confused as to which of the 300 series switches supports the 802.3at standard. According to the website, the SG300-28P supports it. But in the quick start guide for the 300 series, only the MP models (excluding the SF302-08MP and SG300-10MP) including the SG300-52P has it. Can someone give me a difinitive answer to this? Thanks!

LJ,
P = PoE capable. On the 300 series, half of the ports can provide 15.4W, or all can provide half that.
PoE+ is NOT SUPPORTED.
MP = Maximum Power. This means that all ports can provide up to 15.4W. PoE+ is supported on some models only.
PP = PoE Plus. Can provide up to 30W on a single port. Note the maximum PoE budget for each switch. Also,
half of the ports can provide 15.4W, or all can provide half that - any extra power used by PoE+
MPP = Maximum Power and PoE Plus. This means that all ports can provide up to 15.4W - any extra power used by PoE+
According to the Data Sheet:
"Switches support 802.3at PoE+, 802.3af, and Cisco pre-standard (legacy) PoE. Maximum power of 30.0W to any 10/100 or Gigabit Ethernet port for PoE+ supported devices and 15.4W for PoE supported devices, until the PoE budget for the switch is reached"
The PoE+ models are brand new and are not widey available yet. I did a web search for SG300-28PP and found that at least a few online resellers have it in stock.

Switching between https and http requests

Hi,
Our application is built using ADF 10.1.3
This application need to be integrated with an in house built single sign on system. ( SSO system is built in C# and .NET)
This single sign on system only understand https request. Once user is validated against single sign on system, our application's authorization page is called in HTTPS mode. Once the user is authorized, he is forwarded to home page. While forwarding to home page, we want to convert the HTTPS request to HTTP.
Currently once the user is authenticated, all requests are happening in HTTPS mode.
We do not know how to make http request from existing https requested page.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
the way to do this is by redirecting the call from a PhaseListener or command button. The solution Avrom refers to is a PhaseListener that uses XML configuration file to determine whether or not the page you are navigating to requires https or http. The code that handles the protocol switch is printed below
* Determines if the requested page requires SSL and if the current protocol
* meets this need. If not the protocol is switched between http and https
* @param viewId

    ExternalContext exctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext();
    boolean isSecureSSLChannel = ((HttpServletRequest)exctx.getRequest()).isSecure();
    // pages that require SSL and SSL is on, or pages that don't require
    // SSL but SSL is on and should be kept
    if (pageRequiresSSL && isSecureSSLChannel || !pageRequiresSSL && isSecureSSLChannel && isKeepSSLMode) {
    printDebugMessage("Page requires SSL = "+pageRequiresSSL+", channel is secure = "+isSecureSSLChannel+", is keep SSL = "+isKeepSSLMode);
    printDebugMessage("No protocol change required");
    // page requires SSL and SSL is not active. Switch to SSL.
    if (pageRequiresSSL && !isSecureSSLChannel) {
      printDebugMessage("Page requires SSL = "+pageRequiresSSL+", channel is secure = "+isSecureSSLChannel);
      printDebugMessage("Protocol change required to use https");
      switchToHttps(viewId);
    // switch to HTTP is page doesn't require SSL and channel isn't secure
    // and isKeepSSLMode is false
    if (!pageRequiresSSL && !isKeepSSLMode && isSecureSSLChannel) {
      printDebugMessage("Page requires SSL = "+pageRequiresSSL+", channel is secure = "+isSecureSSLChannel+", is keep SSL = "+isKeepSSLMode);
      printDebugMessage("Protocol change required to use http");
      switchToHttp(viewId);
    if (!pageRequiresSSL && !isSecureSSLChannel) {
      printDebugMessage("Page requires SSL = "+pageRequiresSSL+", channel is secure = "+isSecureSSLChannel);

}If your container doesn't support session sharing between http and https then the session is renewed. In OC4J you will have to configure this.

What is the exact protocol for ejecting Time Machine disk from USB?

I have an external drive that I connect and use for Time Machine. When I'm done, I eject the drive and Finder disappears. I pull the USB connector and the OS complains that I did not eject the drive properly.
I've seem the other threads, and I'm afraid I'm going to get a lot of discussion and no answer. So here's a simple question:
What is the exact protocol for closing Time Machine and disconnecting the USB cable to the drive without getting a complaint from the OS?
Thanks
Mike

Drag the icon to the trash or highlight it and use the eject button or highlight it and use Command+e.

Plug and Play for Cisco Small Business 300 Series Managed Switch

Good day
what are the Auto-Install options available for the Cisco Small Business 300 Series Managed Switch ?
It would appear there are none, the operating system is not the standard IOS I'm used to.
Would like to use it with Cisco Prime Infrastructure's PnP Gateway capability.
Regards
Pierre

Prime Infrastructure uses and assumes a CNS (Cisco Network Services) agent on the other side when enabling "plug & play". 300/500 Series do not run IOS and does not include a CNS agent, but there is a way to enable auto-configuration. The switches support DHCP Autoconfiguration (using DHCP options 66, 67, and others) whereby they automatically download their config from a TFTP server at boot time. This allows an administrator to put the configs for all the switches on a TFTP server and simply boot a factory-defaulted switch in order to get its config.
Attached is a document showing how this is done.
Hope the information would be of assistance.

Where is the 300 series switch with 48 gigabit ports and PoE?

Love the 300 series but surprised that Cisco did not put out a 48 port model with gigabit and PoE. Would love to hear from Cisco on the reasoning behind that and if there are any plans to introduce one? Given that gigabit and VoIP is the future at many companies it only makes sense.

The switches use the SFPs to link to each other. The SG500 has ports for 1G or 5G and the SG500X has 10G ports. Whichever port you select will be the speed at which the switches pass traffic and stack control information. These same ports can be 'reclaimed' if you were to set the switch to stand alone mode. I have put a chart below which details the ports you can use and the speed of these ports.

SPA 300 and 500 series programming guides

Hello all.
I am working a FreePBX system that implements Cisco SPA 300 series and 500 series solely. I have been trying to find more information regarding programming the line buttons for special features, like call pickup, and the lower 4 programmable buttons, but I can't seem to find any proper documentation. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also if anyone has experience with provisioning these devices in a FreePBX environment I would love any and all pointers on that as well.
With regards,
A Hopeful PBX admin
Gunnar Ingi

Hi Gunnar,
Although not specific to FreePBX, this document map may help you.
There is a lot of information specific to FreePBX out on the Internet. When searching, keep in mind that FreePBX is based on Asterisk and that the SPA5xx and SPA3xx IP phones are children of the SPA9xx phones so you may find more help by searching using the SPA942 as a model number, for example.

Patrick

Firmware upgrade question for 300 series switches

Hi-
I have a customer that is investigating a strategy and solution for centralized firmware management of the 300 series switches. They have found an issue in the lab where they were trying to roll back the firmware to a previous version They can not roll back to the previous firmware version, which is desirable in the case of finding an issue in the new firmware that causes them to have need to rollback to a known working version.
We have read in the cisco 300 switch admin guide that there are two images (active and inactive) and that a new downloaded firmware always replaces the inactive image and is active until explicitly set. The admin guide does not mention inability to make an older firmware image as active image when the switch has previously run on a new release firmware image. My customer's engineers testing have informed me that an older image can not be made active after a newer image has booted. Can you please verify if this if a fallback is supposed to work as it is causing a lot of concern-
Thanks-
Jena

Major Changes and Defects Corrected
• Hardware version 1.0 devices that were upgraded to software version 1.1
can now be downgraded to software version 1.0. You must delete the
startup configuration file before rebooting the device to software version
1.0. Otherwise the device may have problems when booting up. You may

2 Switches in One? [300 series] Want to have two uplinks/trunks.

I have a 300 series switch with VLAN1 untagged, VLAN 15,5,100 tagged. I want say ports 1-12 to use one uplink/trunk and 13-24 to use another uplink. All ports should have the same default VLAN1 and be tagged for 5,15,100. I'm trying to ease the load on two wireless uplinks(one is a Cisco 1242AG and the other is a UBNT PowerBridge.) I don't want to add another switch. Is this possible?
Model:
SF 300-24P

Hello Derek,
Thank you for using the community forum.
It looks like you would be creating a loop. This would cause Spanning-Tree to kick in and prevent the loop by shutting down one of the Trunk ports. You can load balance at layer 2 but it requires balancing by vlan. So you would need to send 1,5 across one trunk and 15, 100 across the other. Would this be a posibility?

Scale Management for 300 Series

Dears,
I've got a scale design using the 300 Series (up to 1800 switch), but I can't a management support for changing configuration concurrently on all switches, neither the LMS nor the HP openview...
But I know the the 300 series has a large MIB libarary which can be used with HP openview "Network driver studio"...Does any one have an Idea or a document that can help?
I need a solution for configuration management of all switches, not switch by switch...Thanks

The 300-series switches have numerous options by way of managing them. A few of them related to mass management is discussed here.
From an SNMP perspective, the switches are fully instrumented. This means that pretty much anything you can configure, view, or troubleshoot on the switches can be done through SNMP as well. We have published all the MIBs that allow you to do this on cisco.com. You can take these MIBs and compile them into an standards-based SNMP Manageemnt station like Silver Creek, Nagios, Openview, etc. This allows you to manage them en-masse.
Another method of mass management is using DHCP Autoconfiguration. The switches have a text-based config file so you can edit them through a standard text editor and save as a new file. In a typical deployment, there are lots of similarity in the configuration between the different switches. So, and administrator would configure a switch using the GUI. They would then edit the config with a text editor to make the changes for a second switch, and save it as a different config name. Therefore you can easily replicate a config for multiple switches. Now, using DHCP Autonconfiguration, you can get all of these switches upgraded all in one go. The way this works is as follows. When the switch boots, it gets its IP address from the DHCP server. The DHCP Server also passes the TFTP server and filename where the switch can download its config from. It uses DHCP Options 66 and 67 to do this.
We will also support a CLI delivered through a future firmware release which will be available through a free firmware download from Cisco.com.
Thanks,
Ivor
