REP MSTP Compatibility mode on Cisco 4500 ????

Hi all.
I having issue when deploy REP bethween Cisco 4500 Sup 7E/6LE with ASR 9000.
Follow the guide http://www.2mul.com/en/US/docs/routers/asr9000/software/asr9k_r4.0/lxvpn/configuration/guide/lesc40book.pdf , page 319 then ASR 9000 work at REP Access Gateway is supported when the access device (cisco 4500) interfaces that connect to the gateway devices are configured with REP MSTP Compatibility mode.
How to config REP MSTP Compatibility mode on interface of Cisco 4500 ??????????
How to config REP Access Gateway on ASR 9000 ???????????
Please help!
Thanks.

Tran,
you can configure REP-AG on the A9k as follows:
spanning-tree repag
int g0/0/0/0.1
int g0/0/0/0.1 l2trans
encap untagged
Note that REP-AG is not full rep, we only trigger on the TCN from the rep ring and invoke a mac flush then.
Because the 9k needs to be at the head of the ring you need to configure the following on your peer:
rep edge no-neighbor
and the compatibility mode is done via:
rep stcn stp
Finally, if the 2 endpoints of the rep ring are on the same device, you may want to put the encap untagged EFP's into an XCON or BD, if the 9k's are remote a PW to make sure that you can transport the TCN's from one ring point to the other if need be in specific design scenarios.

  • RSTP/MSTP compatibility to Cisco REP (Resilience Ethernet Protocol)

    hi,
    need help to find a official document about RSTP/MSTP compatibility to Cisco's REP. I actually found a document but only STP was mentioned. Please refer to the link below.

  • TS3299 opticals drive disappeared in my Windows 8 computer.   After  1-1/2 on the phone this was corrected but now my Itunes don't  recognize the drive.  Error message stating registry errors.  I tried   running in windows 7 compatibility mode that don't

    Purchased a new Ipad for my wife and integrated it with my windows 7 system and Itunes and made it through.  Was able to sync and bring pictures, contacts and bookmarks over.  Not to say it was easy because I never used any Apple product except my Ipad and Itunes.  Really enjoyed using the Ipad and was thinking of getting a new Iphone this week being my contract is up.
    Then the trouble began I bought a new windows 8 system after having trouble with my old hard drive.  I have finances and Tax programs I use that I thought would be easier to continue using windows rather than trying integrating past years Quicken & Turbo Tax information into a new Apple system.
    Well now I'm sorry I bought the new windows 8 system.  First all my optical drives disappeared when installing itunes.  After spending 1-1/2 on the phone with a service rep and finally was able to see my optical drive I thought everything was OK.  Then more trouble.  When I open Itunes I receive an error message that says my Itunes no longer recognizes my optical drive try reinstalling.  I reinstalled 10 times and tried compatibility mode and the end result is my Itunes no longer could burn Cd's.  I had this problem if I'm not mistaken in the past with ME system back many years ago.  And did not want to go through this again but here I am disgusted once again.

    I finally got my nano working (no thanks to Apple, hmpf!) and it's running fine with 1.0.2 now. For those with similiar problems try this:
    +For Mac, you need to:+
    +1. Downgrade to firmware 1.0.1 by deleting the files iPod_26.1.0.2.ipsw and iPod_26.1.0.2.ipsw.signature (are in the folder iPod software updates somewhere on the harddisk)+
    +2. under Settings in iTunes you have to disable automatic download of updates, then restart iTunes.+
    +3. Enter Disc Mode by holding menu & select for about ten seconds, then pressing play/pause & select for another ten seconds.+
    +4. reconnect your nano to Reset, and when iTunes prompts to update, just don't allow it to look for updates and then reset with fw 1.0.1.+
    I'm supriced Apple support didn't tell me about this? This worked great and is a very fast fix. I can't believe Apple got me to reinstall the whole OS, which didn't even solve it btw. USB 1, blah! Yeah right..

  • 15530-FCGE-8P ISC3 in Compatibility Mode

    We an ONS 15530 with a 15530-FCGE-8P card on slot 7. Physical ports are configured as follows: Ports 0 and 1 = GE, Ports 2 and 3 = GE, Ports 4 and 5 = ISC Compatibility, Ports 6 and 7 = ISC compatibility mode. Ports 5 and 7 are up. However, port 4 and 6 are still down.
    No trouble was found on the mainframe side and. If we swap the cable from port 4 to port 5, port 5 works. But if we connect the cable from port 5 to port 4. The connection is down.Same happens between ports 6 and 7.
    Anybody out there with experience in using CISCO DWDM with ISC (coupling facility) links ?

    Since you have swapped the cables and checked, the possibility of a cable fault is ruled out. Looks like there is some compatibility problems. What is the encapsulation used on the ports which are down. Maybe there is a mismatch in the encapsulations at the two ends.

  • Radius compatibility mode settings in WLC

    our users are using some 3rd party radius server for MAC address auth. I found there is a setting called Radius compatibility mode in the WLC configuration. But there is no document talking about what this setting does for.
    So should I set it to use "Other" or just leave it as "Cisco ACS"?

    This determines what password is used for mac authentication. ACS expects to see the username and password to both be the mac address for mac authentication. Free Radius uses a shared secret for a password. And other Radius servers don't require any password for mac auths sent to the server.

  • Cisco 4500 VSS link issue

    Hi,
    We are having Cisco 4500 switches running in VSS mode. Currently VSS links are connected on ports with capacity of 1 GB & we wanted to replace those ports with new 10 GB DAC cable.
    We manage this switch remotely via SSH. If we disable VSS link or broke the VSS between 2 switches , is it still possible to access  switches over SSH ?
    or we need someone near to device for Console session ?
    Thanks in advance.

    It depends on how the setup is.
    If you have the devices access through the  console server then you should be able to access the box.
    Reason: When you bring down the VSL link the dua active condition triggered. 
    Switch 1 detects that switch 2 is now also active triggering dual active 
    condition thus switch 1 brings down all the local interfaces to avoid network 
    instability. Until VSL link restoration occurs, switch 1 is isolated from the 
    network; 
     Once the VSL link comes up, the role negotiation determines that switch 1 
    needs to come up in STAND_BY mode hence it reboots itself; finally, all 
    interface on switch 1 are brought on line and switch 1 assumes STAND_BY role.

  • How to set Compatibility Mode for a single site in ie10

    This question was originally posted on the Answers forum -
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie10-windows_7/how-to-set-compatibility-mode-for-a-single-site-in/187152e3-142a-4d96-8d1b-af82ef571eec
    I am having problem with getting ie10 to set ie9 compatibility for a single site (sharepoint.contoso.com).
    When I add this website in Compatibility View Settings (Alt > Tools > Compatibility View Settings > 'Add this Website') it adds the domain 'contoso.com' and not the individual website (sharepoint.contoso.com).
    This cause other sites (www.contoso.com) to be configured to use compatibility mode. Because this is a separate site (different web server) to the site sharepoint.contoso.com (sharepoint 2010 server) we need different compatibility settings.
    Using a different example to explain the issue -
    Microsoft has three websites that are different websites created by different developers written in different programming languages and they only work with certain browsers.
    microsoft.com (Website1 created by Developer1) - compatible with ie8/ie9/ie10
    msdn.microsoft.com (Website2 created by Developer2) - compatible with ie8/ie9
    technet.microsoft.com (Website3 website created by Developer3) - compatible only with ie10
    The only thing the three website share is the URL contains 'microsoft.com'.
    Marking 'msdn.microsoft.com' to run in compatibility mode affects the other 2 websites - mainly technet.microsoft.com which will not work now since it only runs in pure ie10 mode. 
    Should you be able to add an individual site to the compatibility list instead of all sites that have  .microsoft.com in the URL? Am I missing a simple setting in the ie10?
    As a workaround I am using the F12 Developer Tools to set the Browser Mode which temporary sets the compatibility mode. However this is not a nice solution to the end users at our organisation.

    Oh! I wrote it wrong: I should have said: This is not solved for NON-AD environments. No demands what so ever to use Window 7/8 professional in a small corporation or on a big corporation with Island of smaller departments for example offshore.
    The problem is that the thread is not "Answered" by the OP, its is marked answered by a moderator (and same moderator that did the answer) so no way of telling if the OP is satisfied.
    But you are right in the fact that I am almost kidnapping the thread. But a complete answer would benefit all in this case I would presume.

  • Will Office Web Apps Server 2013 work with SharePoint 2013 sites hosted in SP2010 compatibility mode?

    We are planning a upgrade of a SP2010 farm to 2013. There has been a bit of customization so we wish to run the old sites on the new SP2013 platform in SP2010 compatibility mode.
    So my question is will Office Web Apps Server 2013 work with the old sites hosted in compatibility mode?
    I found a similar query from March 2014 found here 
    http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/93101/office-web-apps-2010-running-on-sharepoint-2013-for-compatibility-mode-sites/116281#116281 
    Has there been an update released to resolve this
    Cheers D

    Hi  ,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you need to know whether Office Web Apps 2013 is working with SharePoint 2013 sites which is in SharePoint 2010 compatibility mode.
    For my test, Office Web Apps 2013 with SharePoint 2013 sites which is in SharePoint 2010 compatibility mode is working fine.
    Thanks,

  • As a follow up from my recent question, I turned off the compatibility mode under all and regular, clicked out ok, ok then then went to itunes and played a song as they said to, and then tried to open the store and STILL CANNOT OPEN STORE, please Help!!!

    Turning off the compatibility mode by deselecting the check box under each thing that it wants did nothing for my access to the itunes store, still a white page with "itunes store" in the middle of it.  This is getting rediculous! Someone with computer smarts please help, I am at the end of my rope!

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • Firefox will not open unless I run it in compatibility mode (Windows XP SP 3), run it as an administrator, or launch it immediately after a reinstall (the reinstall thing only works once.) How do I fix this?

    This morning, Firefox crashed. After this, when I click the Firefox icon, the hourglass appears and then nothing happens. Firefox does briefly appear in the task manager when I do this.
    I tried rebooting. I tried reinstalling multiple times. (Firefox will run when I select "Launch Firefox" from the installer. Then the problem occurs again.) I tried safe mode. I have found that Firefox will work if I select Windows XP compatibility mode from the icon properties menu or if I run the program as an administrator. When I do this, Windows asks me if I want a program to be able to make changes to my computer.
    I have noticed that a Windows Error Report is being generated each time Firefox will not open.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Firefox will not run after System restore or running in compatibility mode for windows 98. How do I fix this? I already tried all other solutions on this site.

    I was running Firefox fine just yesterday. I screwed up the registry a litle while removing an installed program completely, so I restored the system and everything appeared to work fine. I then decided to play an old video game, Return to Krondor, which was made back in 1998, so I ran the program with no other programs running in compatibility for windows 98. After finishing the game, I closed it and put the computer in hibernation mode. I come back today and firefox will not run at all. It is not running in the background and there are no programs running. There are no services running which could interfere with it. I think somehow Firefox may think I'm in compatibility mode still, but I have no idea.
    I'm running windows Vista 32 - bit with an AMD 2.4ghz processor, 4gb ram on an Emachine computer. I have already tried system restore, restart, processes etc. Nothing works. I can still run Internet explorer and all other programs.

    The person that I was assisting, has Windows 7 which has 64 bit system. Her browser was IE 10.
    Was IE11 ever offered (or installed) via Windows Update?
    Is her computer currently fully-patched at Windows Update?
    Is Adobe Shockwave Player v12.1 (or higher) installed on her computer?
    Is Adobe Flash Player v15.0.0.189 (or higher) installed on her computer?

  • Office 2013 freezing when running in compatibility mode.

    When a 1997-2003 doc is opened in Office 2003 it opens in compatibility mode and causes lock ups/delays. This issue is replicated with a network and local copy of the file to negate issues on comms side. No memory/processing spikes, occuring. Uninstalled/deleted
    reg keys/reinstalled, issue remains. All updates and up to date drivers installed. Is this a common fault/something you guys have dealt with before?
    I have left our client with a workaround in the form of converting the file to the new file format, however, this particular user has vast amounts of 1997-2003 docs so a fix is highly prefereable.

  • How to get compatibility mode or notify ff browser of HTML4

    I manage an old but large and constantly changing commercial website. The site was originally done in HTML2 and has long been at HTML4, with no plans yet to move to HTML5, which would break huge amounts of code using <font> tags, etc.
    I use <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> at the top of the files, and it works fine with the latest Explorer in compatibility mode, but less well with other browsers, such as FF, where font sizes and colors, etc. are glitching.
    Is there a way to force FF into the equivalent of IE's compatibility mode? Or to tell FF in the header to function as an HTML4 browser?
