Stop broadcasts on edge access switches to a port

I have a telco person wanting to put the management port of their phone switch on to the network in one of our remote offices. They say that it will not handle broadcast very well and it will cause it to reset.
So is there a way to limit the broadcast traffic to the port the phoneswitch is connected to. Or is there another way to accomplish this.
using switches like edge access switches 3500XL, 2900XL, 3550 etc and or small routers like 1700 series.
Thanks.

See the storm-control command reference. A 2.0 threashold will allow 2% of total bandwidth as broadcasts.

  • SAN design : core edge and dual-homing access switch

    Hello all.
    It may sound as a dumb question (from a LAN guy) but when designing a core/edge or edge/ecore/edge design, why do we connect access switches to both core switches ? Doesn't it break the isolation of a dual fabric backbone ?
    If an access switch fails the fault (bug or anything else) will propagate to both core switches ? Am I wrong ?
    Example :
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/modules/ps5991/prod_white_paper0900aecd8044c807_ps5990_Products_White_Paper.html
    or from netrworkers sessions in 2006

    Answer also from LAN guy,
    Most likely this design diagram is due to assumption that there is no use of VSANs and SAN Multipathing drivers in host.
    Following is excerpt from same like yo posted.
    "SAN designs should always use two isolated fabrics  for high availability, with both hosts and storage connecting to both  fabrics. Multipathing software should be deployed on the hosts to manage  connectivity between the host and storage so that I/O uses both paths,  and there is non-disruptive failover between fabrics in the event of a  problem in one fabric. Fabric isolation can be achieved using either  VSANs, or dual physical switches. Both provide separation of fabric  services, although it could be argued that multiple physical fabrics  provide increased physical protection (e.g. protection against a  sprinkler head failing above a switch) and protection against equipment  failure.

  • What are the major differences between a Access Switch and Aggregation Switch w.r.t Carrier Ethernet domain?

    In a Carrier Ethernet domain,Could someone please help me understand what's the basic difference between Access Switch and Aggregation Switch both in terms of s/w and h/w functionalities. MEF deals OAM,CFM, EVC provisioning only at the access edge switches. Do we need to repeat all these at the aggregation level? or  is it just used for routing purpose? Do we have a separate Fault Management at the aggregation level?

  • Timed Access Switching Off??

    My settings in Timed Access seem to hold for maybe a few days at a time, but then all of a sudden when I check it, the Timed Access tab reads Not Enabled.
    No one else can be turning it off as I am the only one that knows the password.
    Has anyone else experienced Timed Access switching itself off?...It is a useless feature if I can't rely on it to stop various devices from accessing my network at various times.

    I can't find the links now that I'm specifically looking for them, but recall reading posts from several users who have posted over in the Lion forum with the same issue.
    One user reported that after he reset the AirPort Extreme to factory default settings and then manually set it up again, that things worked fine.
    it's a hassle to have to enter in all the Timed Access data again, but might be worth a shot. If you decide to try this, be sure to change the default rule in Timed Access (which allows all devices access).
    It's best to set the default rule to "No Access" then enter in the specific MAC Addresses or AirPort IDs for devices. You've probably already done this in the past, but some users forget to change the "default" rule and then wonder why things don't work as expected.
    No guarantees that this will work, of course. Up to you if you want to try.

  • Campus LAN Access Switch recommendation

    Hi all,
    I am looking at the specs of 2960X switches and 3750v2 switches as possible replacements for some old 3750 switches which are approaching End OF Support.
    Am I right in understanding that the performance (both packet switching & backplane bandwidth) is better on the 2960X's than the 3750v2's? Although it looks like the 3750v2's are a lot more feature rich and also have dCEF.
    The datacheets for the 2960X report 80gig Stacking bandwidth, and 216Gbps backplane bandwidth and at least 70mpps whereas the 3750v2's are only 32gig switching fabric bandwidth and a maximum forwarding rate of 13mpps! Is there something I am missing here??
    I have no idea of costs, but just looking at getting the best value for money out of our Access Switches.
    The 3650's and 3850's look good too but I imagine they are pretty costly compared to the 2960's and I do not think we need integrated WLCs in our access switches as the AP's we have in our building are minimal.
    Any advice appreciated!
    Thanks
    Mario

    BTW, you realize, 3750v2s are end-of-sale?
    Correct, a 2960X might have higher fabric bandwidth and PPS ratings than a 3750v2, but that doesn't mean it's faster or better.  For fabric bandwidths and PPSs, you need to look at the needs of the ports on the device.
    A 3750v2 with 48 copper FE ports, and 4 SFP gig ports, has 8.8 Gbps of port bandwidth.  So a non-blocking fabric needs to support 17.6 Gbps.  As you note, the 3750v2 fabric is listed as 32 Gbps, so you're covered there.
    The same 8.8 Gbps of port bandwidth needs up to 13.0944 Mpps (1.488 Mpps per gig) for wire-rate for minimum size Ethernet.  Your noted 13 Mpps seems to cover that too.
    So, basically, a 3750v2 switch is wire-rate capable.
    When you get into stack bandwidth, even more that other switch parameters, there's lies, dam lies, and device performance specifications.  Trying to judge one stack architecture against the other, gets very complicated very quickly.
    On the 2960 series, I believe Cisco is "adding" each switch to switch ring link to an aggregate total.  In an ideal situation, if traffic only needed to go from switch 1 to switch 2, and from switch 2 to switch 3, then the aggregate summation does have a bandwidth advantage over StackWise "bus" like ring usage.  If traffic needs to go from between all 3 switches, traffic to from switch 1 to switch 3 will need to share the bandwidth also being used by traffic from switch 1 to switch 2.
    I.e. a 2960 80 Gbps doesn't mean you get 80 Gbps between just two switches, or the advantage of all 80 Gbps found within a maximum member 2960 stack.
    (As an aside, compare StackWise vs. StackWise Plus.  The latter has twice the physical bandwidth, but it also operates much "smarter".  Again, unwinding how stacks work, and their impact to your needs, is complicated.)
    There's also more to a switch's performance than raw bandwidths and PPS rates.  The switch's architecture, and other switch specifications, can make a big difference in real-world performance.  You'll find 3560/3750s with the fabric bandwidths and PPS rates same as some 49xx switches, but the latter often will deal with busy servers much, much better, due to different port buffering.
    All the above, also means, without some real analysis of both your needs and devices being considered, anyone's recommendations should be taken with a large grain of salt; including mine.  ;)
    That said, for simple L2 edge port usage, the less expensive 2960 series might be just fine for you.  If you want to reduce costs even more, you might also look at Cisco's SMB switches, some I think are also now stackable.

  • SSID=Broadcast Malformed Packet cause switch CPU increase 90 %

    I have a Wirelles LAN composed of 4 WISM controllers mounted on 2 6513 catalyst . On the ACCESS switch I can see a lot of abnormal traffic that are in use in the port . After sniffing this traffic I have clear that was WIRELESS broacast traffic in particular : SSID=Broadcast Malformed Packet.
    How to reduce this traffic ? I have to proceed in the WISM or just cut all the broacast strom over the switch ?
    thank for any help

    For that do disable the broadcast SSID. It may help you .

  • Why access switch has flapping lead another distribution layer switch has root guard blocking and unblocking log

    is it misconfiguration in Access Point's access switch or hacker attack from this switch?
    many MATM-4-MACFLAP_NOTIF Host 0015.5dc1XXX VLAN 1 is flapping between port 1 and port 2
    many MATM-4-MACFLAP_NOTIF Host 0015.5dc2XXX VLAN 1 is flapping between port 1 and port 2
    many MATM-4-MACFLAP_NOTIF Host 0015.5dc3XXX VLAN 50 is flapping between port 1 and port 2
    many MATM-4-MACFLAP_NOTIF Host 0015.5dc4XXX VLAN 50 is flapping between port 1 and port 2
    last time we do not have these switch also meet the same issue about distribution layer switch have many ports down
    last time someone mention a switch lost config, but today, i remember that the switch has reloaded and can be login again with radius, 
    today i do not connect any notebook with this switch and just have configured radius setting for window NPS radius server and then reload, then
    i have dinner and come back and after a while, last time's issue happen again. 
    it seems port channel easy to have problem when abnormal traffic coming from access switch  result in down port in distribution layer switch
    i wonder whether someone can hack through the switchport access mode port and send some broadcast message

    From that output and your description it looks like you have an STP issue as a result of misconfiguration somewhere.
    Are your access points connected to switches with ports in access mode or trunk mode?

  • Netgear WN604 stops broadcasting when connected to...

    I use a Netgear WN605 150 Mbps 802.11n access point and it works fine in conjunction with a Netgear DG834Gv5 or a TP-Link TP-8840 router modem.  But if I connect my HH3 the AP stops broadcasting WiFi signals!  It takes a while for the HH3 to recognise the WN604 and I can then set a fixed IP address for it, as it requires. But when I try to use the WiFi  I cannot connect to it for more than a second or two!  I've got a utility called InSSIDer that allows me to examine the WiFi environment and see graphically what signals are present. The WN604 shows up fine when not using the HH3, with both channels stable and significantly strong.  But when the HH3 is providing the networking the signals are unstable from the WN604.  The trace shows as dotted, indicating it is not correct, and one channel disappears after a couple of second followed quickly by the remaining channel fading away to nothing.  The trace shows the signals were present fo less than 5 seconds!  BTW, the WiFi services on the HH3 are all turned off to avoid any RF conflicts.
    It ONLY happens when the HH3 is in use and does not happen with any other router/modem.
    So what is wrong with the HH3, which is clearly where the fault lay? 

    so i solved my own problem haha here's what i did incase anyone has the same issue
    go to system preferences > sound > output > click on headphones then turn the volume up from mute
    for some reason every time i reconnect to the uni wifi it goes back to mute. not the regular volume only the one through that pathway.

  • (S)NTP synchronization on SG300 access switches?

    Hi,
    In our network two Domain Controllers are configured as the central (S)NTP Servers. For a switch in Layer 3 mode it is quit easy to synchronise with these (S)NTP Servers. But what is actually the best approach for access switches in layer 2 mode, that are connected to the layer 3 switch? The only IP Address they have are part of the management VLAN ID 1 which is not routable. I am actually looking for something like a broadcast without having to put a NTP Server in management vLAN.
    Boudewijn

    Is your layer 3 switch the gateway for your vlans? Vlan 1 can be routed, the only restriction to this would be if you do not have any routes for vlan1. If your NTP server and layer 2 switch points their default gateway at your layer 3 switch, the layer 3 switch can route traffic across that way.
    It really depends how you have the network setup and what device is handling the routing for you on the local network.

  • How do i get panning to stop at the edge of my screen?

    For the project i am working on i will need to use panning quite a bit.  Manual panning is too slow for what i need and auto panning will capture outside of my screen.  Is there any way to set the auto panning to stop at the edge of the screen so i am not stuck with large areas of black?  thanks,

    Hi there
    Good luck with that. Captivate presently does a horrible job with panning. If panning is your thing, you will likely find yourself constantly frustrated with the existing versions of Captivate.
    Personally, I'd use Camtasia to create the stuff where you want panning. Then push it out as a SWF and combine it with Captivate for the total package.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Spanning vlans across access switches in distribution block.... please help

    Hi All
    Can someone please explain why Cisco states that in a Campus Hierarchical modle if Vlans are spanned across Access switches in a distribution block, then the Distrubution to distribution link should be Layer 2. Is this really necesary or just a recommendation, and if so why? Can't this link be a L3 link when spanning vlans across Access switches in distribution block, as I understand the benefit of having a L3 distribution to distribution link so that SPT is avoided.
    Please help

    Hello,
    The cisco recommended design is L3 links, but these is only possible if you have no vlans you need to span over the hole network.
    It depends on your topology or what you want achieve.
    If you need for one or more vlan's spanned the LAN, you need to use a layer 2 connection between all switches and between distribution too.
    In my company we have for example a few vlans for restricted areas, like device management or else, so we can't use L3 Links in the distribution area because these vlan's are terminated at the firewall. I think these is good thing.
    I would recommend you if you don't have to span one or more vlan's across the network to use L3 Links, specially in the case of redundancy way's. So you need no spanning-tree, but need to use other protocols like GLBP or else. The works faster and are not so confusing (for some people) as STP.
    best regards,
    Sebastian
