Rebooting switches and routers

Is it a good practice to reboot your switches and routers periodically and is there anything gained by doing this??

The only instance in which I would say this is unequivocally a good idea is one in which a known bug is causing, say, a memory leak which, uncorrected, will lead to a system crash. In that case, one would monitor memory usage and schedule preventitive maintenance reboots to forestall an unplanned outage.
Other than something like that, the practice of keeping one's IOS/CatOS relatively current (i.e., at least on a supported release) and analyzing new features for utility in your environment (or, more likely bug or vulnerability fixes) would more likely be the catalyst for introducing a new software version (and thus indirectly requiring a reboot to load the new code).
Hope this helps. Please rate it if it does.

  • Email Notifications for Switches and Routers

    Dear All,
    How may I configure switches and routers to send email notifications when link is UP/Down.
    We have Switches - ((C3750-IPBASE-M), Version 12.2(25)SEB4) & Routers - (C2900-UNIVERSALK9-M), Version 15.1(4)M3.
    Thanks in Advance,

  • Switches and routers in the rack

    Hi guys,
    I am mounting few switches and routers in a rack in our new office. I am new to this and was wondering if I can stack them all on top of each other or need some gap for ventilation?
    The rack is in a server room which has proper ventilation and cooling.
    Please share your experience. Thanks.

    Remember this:  Hot air goes up, cooler air goes down.
    If you are trying to keep your appliances cool then rack-mounting them on the top is a useless exercise.
    I normally rack-mount routers and switches halfway down the rack.  I leave 1 RU between them to put cable-management.  You can find 2RU cable management if you have thick cables or if you have a 48-port switch.
    Another thing:  Never, EVER, mix copper cable and fibre optic cable in the same cable management. 
    When it comes to copper cables, make sure you use "snagless" ones.  Also, for the sake of future troubleshooting, make sure you use good brand cables like Panduit or Krone.  Don't get "sold" by those cheap copper cables that are reputed to be "tested" and/or "GigabitEthernet ready". 

  • Cisco Prime 2.1.2 auto sync config for switches and Routers

    hello Support,
    how to configure auto sync config in CPI? when the customer make a changes in the switches and Routers, the customer expect a new version of the configuration in CPI immediately. but we are getting the new version after 10 minutes. if we not configure in the switches and Routers to send syslog we are not getting anything.
    where we have to configure in CPI to get the new versions immediately?
    thanks!

    Make sure you have completed the recommended preparation steps given in Before You Begin Installing the Patch.
    If you are not using the Prime Infrastructure High Availability (HA) feature, follow the steps in Installing the Patch instead of the steps below.
    If your current Prime Infrastructure implementation has High Availability enabled, follow the steps below to install the patch. You must start the patch installation with the primary server in “Primary Active” state and the secondary server in “Secondary Syncing” state.
    Patching of the primary and secondary servers takes approximately one hour. During that period, both servers will be down. If you have trouble at any point, see Troubleshooting Patch Installs in HA Implementations.
    Step 1 Ensure that your HA implementation is enabled and ready for update:
    a. Log in to the primary server using an ID with Administrator privileges.
    b. Select Administration > System Settings > High Availability , The primary server state displayed on the HA Status page should be “Primary Active”.
    c. Select HA Configuration . The current Configuration Mode should show “HA Enabled”.
    d. The Failover Type must be set to “Manual” throughout the patch installation. If Failover Type is currently set to “Automatic”, select “Manual” and then click Save .
    e. Access the secondary server’s Health Monitor (HM) web page by pointing your browser to the following URL:
    https:// <ServerIP> :8082
    where ServerIP is the IP address or host name of the secondary server.
    f. You will be prompted for the authentication key entered when HA was enabled. Enter it and click Login .
    g. Verify that the secondary server state displayed on the HM web page is “Secondary Syncing”.
    Step 2 Download the patch:
    a. Point your browser to the software patches listing for Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1.
    b. Click the Download button for the Release 2.1.2 patch file (pi212_20141118_01.ubf), and save the file locally.
    Step 3 Install the patch on the secondary server:
    a. Access the secondary server’s HM web page by pointing your browser to the following URL:
    https:// <ServerIP> :8082
    where ServerIP is the IP address or host name of the secondary server.
    b. You will be prompted for the authentication key entered when HA was enabled. Enter it and click Login .
    c. Choose the HM web page’s Software Update link. You will be prompted for the authentication key a second time. Enter it and click Login again.
    d. Click Upload Update File and browse to the location where you saved the patch file.
    e. Click OK to upload the patch file.
    f. When the upload is complete: On the Software Upload page, verify that the Name, Published Date and Description of the patch file are correct.
    g. Select the patch file and click Install . When the installation is complete, you will see a popup message confirming this.
    h. After the installation is complete on the secondary server, verify that the Software Updates page shows:
    – In the “Installed” column: A “Yes” opposite the listing for this patch.
    – In the “Pending Restart” column: A “Yes” for the secondary server. Do not restart the secondary server at this point.
    Step 4 Install the patch on the primary server:
    a. Log in to the primary server using an ID with administrator privileges and choose Administration > Software Update .
    b. Click Upload Update File and browse to the location where you saved the patch file.
    c. Click OK to upload the patch file.
    d. When the upload is complete: On the Software Upload page, verify that the Name, Published Date and Description of the patch file are correct.
    e. Select the patch file and click Install . When the installation is complete, you will see a popup message confirming this.
    f. After the installation is complete on the primary server, verify that the Software Update page shows:
    – In the “Installed” column: A “Yes” opposite the listing for this patch.
    – In the “Pending Restart” column: A “Yes” for the primary server. Do not restart the primary server at this point.
    Step 5 Stop the servers in the following sequence, using the commands explained in Running Commands:
    a. On the secondary server, run the ncs stop command.
    b. On the primary server, run the ncs stop command.
    Step 6 Re-start and monitor the servers in the following sequence, using the commands explained in Running Commands:
    a. On the secondary server, run:
    – The ncs start command to restart the secondary server. Wait for the processes on the secondary to restart.
    – The ncs status command to verify that the processes on the secondary have re-started.
    – The ncs ha status command to verify that the secondary state is “Secondary Lost Primary”.
    b. Once the secondary server is in “Secondary Lost Primary” state: On the primary server, run:
    – The ncs start command to restart the primary server. Wait for the processes on the primary to restart.
    – The ncs status command to verify that the primary’s Health Monitor and other processes have re-started.
    Once all the processes on the primary are up and running, automatic HA registration will be triggered. This normally completes after a few minutes.
    Step 7 Once registration completes, verify the patch installation as follows:
    a. Run the ncs ha status command on both the primary and secondary servers. You should see the primary server state change from “HA Initializing” to “Primary Active”. You should see the secondary server state change from “Secondary Lost Primary” to “Secondary Syncing”.
    b. Log in to the primary server and access its Software Update page as you did earlier. The “Installed” column should show “Yes” and the “Pending Restart” column should show “No” for the installed patch.
    c. Access the secondary server’s Health Monitor page as you did earlier. The “Installed” column should show “Yes” and the “Pending Restart” column should show “No” for the installed patch.

    hello thompson318,
    most probably the following mentioned error/ messages you are getting is due to bad IOS, the IOS is corrupted, i would suggest you to use another well-known working/ verified IOS and to upload it to the switch using Xmodem...
    magic number mismatch: bad mzip file
    here is some links for your reference:

    please note, if there is no enough space on the flash to handle the new and the old IOS image, i would suggest you to upload old/small IOS to fits into the flash, then you can delete the old corrupted one and to upgrade to new IOS image...

  • Privilege Levels on FWs, switches and Routers

    One question - I am bothered with the privilege level settings.
    Is there a default mapping between a priv lvl and teh commands you are allowed to execute or one needs to define that.
    EX: I want somebody to only have the right of executing sh run on a device and nothing more.Can this be done?
    Thx,
    Vlad

    I would start by configuring a privilege level and then use the ? to list all the commands available at that level.
    privilege level 0 - Includes the disable, enable, exit, help, and logout commands.
    privilege level 1 - Normal level on Telnet; includes all user-level commands at the router> prompt.
    privilege level 15 - Includes all enable-level commands at the router# prompt.
    Commands available at a particular level in a particular router can be found by typing a ? at the router prompt. Commands may be moved between privilege levels by using the privilege command, as illustrated in the example. While this example shows local authentication and authorization, the commands work similarly for TACACS+ or RADIUS authentication and exec authorization (more granularity in control of the router may be achieved with implementation of TACACS+ command authorization with a server.)
    Additional details on the users and privilege levels presented in the example:
    User six is able to Telnet in and execute the show run command, but the resulting configuration is virtually blank because this user cannot configure anything (configure terminal is at level 8, not at level 6). The user is not permitted to see usernames and passwords of the other users, or to see Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) information.
    User john is able to Telnet in and execute the show run command, but only sees commands that he can configure (the snmp-server community part of the router configuration, since this user is our network management administrator). He can configure snmp-server community because configure terminal is at level 8 (at or below level 9), and snmp-server community is a level 8 command. The user is not permitted to see usernames and passwords of the other users, but he is trusted with the SNMP configuration.
    User inout is able to Telnet in, and, by virtue of being configured for autocommand show running, sees the configuration displayed but is disconnected thereafter.
    User poweruser is able to to Telnet in and execute the show run command. This user is at level 15, and is able to see all commands. All commands are at or below level 15; users at this level can also view and control usernames and passwords.

  • Switch and Broadcast filtering

    I read this article in the cisco curriculum, but I did not understand it well :
    " Occasionally, a device will malfunction and continually send out broadcast frames, which are copied around the network. This is called a broadcast storm and it can significantly reduce network performance.
    A switch that can filter broadcast frames makes a broadcast storm less harmful.
    Today, switches are also able to filter according to the network-layer protocol. This blurs the demarcation between switches and routers. A router operates on the network layer using a routing protocol to direct traffic around the network. A switch that implements advanced filtering techniques is usually called a brouter. Brouters filter by looking at network layer information but they do not use a routing protocol ".
    Can the switch filter the broadcast ? Yes, it can,,,,as Cisco says :"This filtering is achieved through the implementation of virtual local-area networks or VLANs ".,,,,,Is there any other type of filtering ?
    What is the main difference between router and brouter

    hi
    if u would like to control the broadcast and multicast storms you can refer the link for configuring the storm control for both broadcast and multicast.
    you can define up the values and shut the port if it exceeds the threshold limit..
    http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios124/124cr/hif_r/int_s4h.htm#wp1229258
    About the difference between a router and a Brouter afaik BROUTER u use in most of the SP network where you got customers in either DSL or Metro ethernet network where you will have the aggregation of the whole network traffic and from where it will be forwarded to upstream.
    It depends on the ios code too which is available to serve the purpose for the same..
    you got to have something like 7200 or 7300 in place to serve your purpose of brouter.

  • Switches and speed

    Hello,
    I was just wondering if more switches and routers on a network can increase speed greatly (mainly for internet). My design is
    IDU -> 8 portDlink switch -> Pix 501 -network
    IDU -> 8 portDlink switch -> cisco 2600 series -> catalyst 2950 -network
    i also have other switches (e.g 3com, intex) along the way. Does a mixture of different vendors equipment affect the perfomers of others? If i add more switches and routers and stick to Cisco products can/how can i increase spead?
    Thanks
    D

    Hi D,
    The fastest speed you'll be able to achieve is a function of the slowest link along a given path. Adding more devices in the path will not help increase speeds. If anything, it may introduce more delay.

  • Can you control switch and router access with AD (Kerberos)

    I am standing up a small environment with less than 20 switches and I want to configure the authentication so that dedicated Active Directory accounts provide access to the switches. We are not going to be able to put up an ACS box, and I don't want to use RADIUS unless I have to. Since both AD and Cisco support Kerberos, is it possible to us an AD group to control access to my switches and routers?

    Sam,
    Have you looked at these at Cisco?

  • DHCP config in switch and router

    Hi,
    I was wondering if we can configure dhcp in switch and routers such that the IP of device assigned with IP address would change if we assign same static IP to another device in the same network. does cisco support such kind of configuration?
    Thanks,
    Vish

    Consider this (I will not use in a production network): if you statically assign the IP add 192.168.1.1. to the PC both host will detect a uplicate ip address. After this the first host (the one using DHCP)  will not renew the lease, instead it send a:
    DHCPDECLINE - Client to server indicating network address is already
    in use.
    DHCP server will  offer a new IP address and put the old one in the conflict database.
    If you set a very short lease in some way you have the desired behavior but, again, it's nothing I wolud like to use ina production network

  • Cisco Architectures for 2950/2960 Switches and 2800 Routers

    Hello,
    I have a question regarding the architectures of these three series, i.e. the type of switch fabric they use and the general architecture (first, second, or third generation regarding the sharing of the bus, memory and the type of switch fabric). We have so far learned these three generation and our assumption is that the only generation being produced now is the third (crossbar) generation, but so far we have to information to back up this claim. We are doing a study on buffer sizing in edge routers/switches so knowing the exact architecture of each model is our priority.
    Thank you for reading and thanks in advance for the answers.

    Exact details on Cisco switch and/or router architecture can be hard to come by, as much of the information, Cisco appears to consider proprietary.
    Most switches have some kind of cross bar architecture.  Overall bandwidth tends to be higher in later variants (to support higher port densities and/or higher bandwidth ports).  Later switch architectures are less likely to block at ports.  However, there are often other architecture changes which may improve or worsen performance.  For example, 2960 tends to have more fabric bandwidth than the 2950, but the 2960 has different port buffer management (I believe) from the 2950, often resulting in more port drops with bursty traffic.
    True routers, like the 2800 series, I believe use a PCI bus, with additional bandwidth restrictions to the modules.  They will well support the WAN bandwidths they are recommended for, but they do not well support LAN port bandwidths.  Again, specific architecture details can be hard to come by.

  • We have two email accounts and my wife cannot access hers. Is it due to new software upgrade? Have tried rebooting iPad and switching of and on the wifi!

    We have two email accounts with virginmedia. After a day of intermittent messages yesterday, today my wife's email cannot connect to server. Had no problems before. Tried rebooting iPad and switching off and on the wifi to no effect.

    FYI, this is a user to user technical support forum.
    No one from Apple monitors, reads, or responds here.
    Try the following:
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network settings
    If the Wi-Fi is still not working, basic troubleshooting from the Users Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    The vast majority of users upgrade with absolutely no issues.

  • Connecting Cisco 2821 Router, Switch, and Cable Modem

    Hey everyone,
    I am currently in the Cisco Network Academy at my school and just finished CCNA 1.  I have a few questions though.
    I am purchasing new equipment and that equipment includes:
    1-Cisco 2821 2-port Gigabit Router
    1-Linksys SE3016 16-Port Gigabit Switch (unmanaged)
    1-Cisco WAP4410n Wireless Access Point
    1-Motorla SurfBoard Gigabit Cable Modem (no router built in-Just standalone Modem used with Comcast Xfinity High Speed Internet)
    1-12U Network Rack (not enclosed)
    I am confused on how I will connect the cable modem to the router and the router to the switch and the WAP so that I still have WiFi. Since the router only has 2 Ge Ports, how would I cable this up?
    If my assumptions are correct, would I do the following set up?
    Take the Cable Modem and run a Straight Thru to Port 1 of the Router.
    Connect the Switch Port 1 to Port 2 of the Router using a Straight Thru cable (I believe I will most likely have to Subnet a network, won't I?).
    Connect Switch Port 2 to WAP using Straight Thru Cable (so I still have WiFi in my home).
    Connect all my computers and other devices to the Switch (this includes several PC's/Laptops, two printers that are ethernet, two TV's that are ethernet, an AppleTV and a Blue Ray Player that are both ethernet, and some Cisco Powerline Network Adapters).
    Will that set up work? 
    Also, how would I configure the router to work with my cable modem AND act as a DHCP Server so that all of my devices get IP Addresses? I have the Cisco Command Guide Book, but it is confusing to me as of now.
    Thanks!
    Chris

    A good start but a few points I would make.
    If you set the clock manually, you may find it resets itself after a router reboot. I would look at pointing it at an NTP server:
    #ntp server x.x.x.x
    #clock timezone GMT (Assuming you are UK based)
    Although not required, I would put a description on each of the interfaces as it may help identify them later if you are not physically in front of the Router.
    #interface gi0/0
    #description WAN
    Same for LAN
    You have set up your LAN subnet with a /16 subnet mask which is effectively 10.0.0.1 - 10.0.255.254. This is a large subnet allowing over 65k hosts which is not best practice on enterprise networks. It probably won't cause you any issues but I doubt you will have any more than 254 hosts so personally I would use a /24 subnet (255.255.255.0)
    The only major thing missing is NAT which needs to be configured on the router to translate the LAN IP addresses from their 10.* private range to the Public IP address on the Gi0/0 WAN Interface.
    Firstly you need to define the 'inside' and 'outside' NAT interfaces which is fairly self explanatory:
    #interface gi0/0
    #ip nat outside
    #interface gi0/1
    #ip nat inside
    Gi0/0 is your outside interface because its facing the Outside world (i.e the internet) and Gi0/1 is your inside interface because its facing Inside your LAN.
    Then you need to tell the router which addresses to translate against by first creating an access list:
    #ip access-list standard LAN-Addresses
    #permit 10.0.0.0 0.0.255.255
    Finally you need to tell the router to start translating:
    #ip nat inside source list LAN-Addresses interface gi0/0 overload
    Oh, I have just noticed that you do not have a 'default route' configured. A router forwards packets by first looking up the destination IP address of the packet (i.e where its going) in it's own routing table. Obviously home routers are not going to have an entry for every Public IP subnet on the internet so they use something called a default route which effectively says 'If I cannot find an entry for this packet in my routing table, use the default route'.
    As you are on DHCP and your IP address (and even default gateway) could change on your WAN interface, I would not bother with the next hop address in the default route but rather use the outgoing interface as below:
    #ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 gi0/0
    Hope this helps!

  • CiscoWorks user options "device type groups|switch and Hubs"

    Hi,
    We are using CiscoWorks software to deploy new configuration to our network devices.  Because our environnement is mixed about version of network devices we have to create a new netconfig job for each device model, because in some plate-forme configuration option, syntax maybe different of each other.
    When I create a new netconfig job with my username under "device type groups|switch and Hubs" I have a list there of all plate-forme we have in our production environnement managed by CiscoWorks software.  I know thoses group was'nt define by on of us and thoses are define by default in CiscoWorks software, but they are hiden by default per user basic.
    We have a new one in our team, I had created his user name and password, but I can find the option where I can asked to make visible to him plate-form device type group as I have in my user configuration.
    Also, is it possible to copy private define group to an other user without to make thoses as public ?
    Thanks a lot !

    Here,
    is a view of what I have with my user
    but in his profile he is only see
    Device type Groups
         + Routers
         + Switches and Hubs
         + Wireless
    if he clic on the plus sing to develop group "Switches and Hubs" he see all switches and hub managed by CiscoWorks software.  I know He did not create Cisco Catalyst 2912 XL Switch and Cisco Catalyst 2924 XL Switch group in my profile.  I know we have to modify an option in CiscoWorks per user basic to view those group, the person who where that option should be modifiy is currently in vacation, but he will need that option enable before our specialist will be back !
    Thanks a lot !

  • Just made the switch and running into problems immediately

    Been a lifelong PC user and switched to a MacBook Pro with the update yesterday. I got home, charged it up immediately, and went for my initial boot-up.
    First problem, right as I'm finalizing setup and creating my login and password, I get a "you must shut down now" prompt. That's a crash, right? I can't think of any reason for that to happen off the bat except maybe because of the wi-fi connection, since I had just entered my network password.
    Second, I restart and can't find any wi-fi hosts, even though there's several in range. I run network diagnostics, turn AirPort off and on, still nothing. I finally tried rebooting again and now AirPort detects my wi-fi network.
    Had to leave for work so I couldn't fuss around more but should I be worried about my MacBook or its wi-fi? I'm excited about finally having OS X full time but would hate to have ended up with a lemon.

    First, ensure the problem is still there, since it could be something simple. Second, call AppleCare and notify them of the issue. If they can’t resolve the matter over the phone, then request/demand a Dead On Arrival (DOA) designation, and have them send you a replacement unit. Personally, I would also ask them for some sort of compensation i.e. hardware upgrade, discount, etc. Occasionally, they do this but you typically have to request it politely. Remind them that you’re a “PC switcher”.
