Sup 720 Fabric questions

Hi,
If you use a 6509-E with a Sup 720 this gives you a 720 Aggregate switch fabric which is broken down across all of teh 9 slots. However each slot only has 2 x 20 Gbps interfaces, so if you plugged in a 48 10/100/1000 you will not be able to get the full 48 Gbps throughput.
I know it is probably impossible to generate so much traffic but i am curious as the modules are marketed as non-blocking?
does anybody have some infor on this
Thanks

Fabric channels run at 20 Gbps Full Duplex, so 20 Gbps in / 20 Gbps out, so the claim is 40 Gbps in full duplex and 80 Gbps/slot with dual fabric channels
Search for 80 Gbps:

  • 6509E VSS w/Quad-Sup 720 - Traffic Forwarding Issue

    Hello all,
    I ran into an interesting problem yesterday evening while performing a quad-sup upgrade to an existing dual-sup 6509E VSS architecture. Unfortunately, the expiration of my maintenance window forced me to roll back the changes before I had the opportunity to truly discover the root issue, however, I wanted to post my experience on Support Forums with the hope that someone else has run into it before.
    The customer I was working with has an existing dual-sup (720) environment operating in VSS mode. Both sup's were installed an operational in slot 5 of each chassis. The switch ID's had been assigned as 1 and 2, and the VSL was comprised of the two 10GE interfaces connected between each of the sup modules (1/5/4-2/5/4 and 1/5/5-2/5/5). The customer wanted to increase their intra-chassis redundancy by installing two additional sup 720 modules in slot 6 of each chassis, and adding these 10GE interfaces to the VSL.
    The overall upgrade went very well. I began by physically installing an additional sup 720 in slot 6 of the VSS standby chassis, and the sup module came up into RPR-Warm status (which is the desired state). I then physically installed an additional sup 720 in the VSS active chassis, and it too came up into RPR-Warm status. After reviewing the VSS redundancy state, I determined that everything looked good, and proceeded to add the additional 10GE links (1/6/4-2/6/4 and 1/6/5-2/6/5) into the VSL configuration. I then physically connected the additional VSL links (but shifted them around as to achieve diversity between the chassis (1/5/4-2/5/4, 1/5/5-2/6/5, 1/6/4-2/6/4, 1/6/5-2/5/5). I then reviewed the VSL link state and EtherChannel state, and everything looked great.
    At that point, we were pretty much done with the switch configuration, and proceeded to verify that server/network resources were not affected. I found that there seemed to be an issue sending traffic across the VSL. For example, some physical servers connected to switch ID 1 were having a difficult time communicating to physical servers connected to switch ID 2 (this customer is still working on dual-homing hosts). I looked at all of the obvious things - physical VSL interfaces, EtherChannel status, etc., and everything looked good. I then proceeded to remove physical VSL interfaces from the configuration, eliminating those that were added that evening (e.g., all interfaces except the original 1/5/4-2/5/4 were removed) - nothing. At this point, I was 10 minutes from the expiration of the maintenance window and was forced to roll back. It wasn't until the newly added sup's were physically removed from the chassis that the issue subsided. That said, I was able to conclude that the VSL wasn't the problem at all, but perhaps the installation of the sup's was??
    All of the sup 720's were running 12.2(33)SXI6 code, which I had verified to be a safe harbor version (although there are known bugs, none appear to be related to this issue).
    Has anyone run into this issue before? Any thoughts would be appreciated!

    You bring up VSS outside of the current environemnt. Create all vlans with a spanning tree priority higher than the existing.
    Create all the vlan interfaces and leave them shutdown.
    Connect the existing core to the new VSS core. Make sure that all vlans are properly crossing the trunk between old and new cores. Depending on how you're routing is set up, you might need to create a vlan to use for routing updates only.
    At this point, you can start changing spanning tree priorities to move the root of the vlans to the vss. Once these have been moved, you can start to manipulate hsrp.
    Whichever switch has the backup interface, shut those interfaces down. After this is done, shut the vlan inteface on the old core and no shut on the vss. Since vss doesn't use hsrp, it's hard to manipulate the vss since you want the vlan interface to be the previous standby ip.
    Flipping the vlan intefaces shouldn't cause any issues. I've done this method several times in large hospitals with no issues.
    Once you have the vss running, you can move the access switches 1 link at a time. Make sure you're running rapid pvst.
    The method I've used for this is to create a port channel on both the access switch and the vss. On the vss, you can assign the interfaces into the port channel immediately. On the access switch, disconnect one of the interfaces that goes to the old core. Add the disconnected inteface into the port channel then plug it back in. It should come up as the only member of the etherchannel. After you verify this link is up properly, perform the same with the second uplink on the access switch. When you plug it in, it should join the channel and you should be fine. With rapid pvst, nothing should be noticeable when the links block and unblock.

  • Sup 720 unlabelled Red LED

    I have a pair of 6513s with a pair of Supervisors in each and on one of the standby (Sup 720) front panel is a RED LED. This LED has no label and is just to the left of the Console port. I have checked reference documents and this LED is not mentioned? Any idea? Thanks

    Hi
    I feel the sup mite have got stuck up in rommon prompt and requires manual boot command to boot it up..
    once it gets booted up check out the valid ios file in the disk0 or disk1 and configure the boot system command accordingly.
    once you are thru with that save the config and check with show bootvar to verify whether the changes got replicated or not..

  • MPLS support GEC on 7600 with SUP-720-3BXL ?

    Hi all
    Could someone let me know does 7600 with SUP-720-3BXL support full MPLS, MPLS-TE, QoS, ... on Gigabit Ethernet channel interface ?
    Which port interface (LAN/WAN, ...) does 7600/SUP-720-3BXL support full MPLS features ?
    And does 10GBASE XENPAR Modules support full MPLS features ?
    thanks you

    The Cisco 7200 Series offers numerous LAN and WAN interfaces for diverse connectivity requirements. Modular processors for the Cisco 7200 Series provide flexibility as their need grows. The three onboard Gigabit Ethernet interfaces,in the Cisco 7301 VAM2+ security router bundle provides the same high performance.For further information verify the following URL:

  • 6500 sup 720 with MPLS, GRE and FWSM problem

    We have 6500 sup 720 with MPLS configured and FWSM in transparent  mode. We also terminate GRE tunnels on the same 6500.
    After implementing the command “mls mpls tunnel-recir” GRE tunnels are hardware switched (which we want them to be), but we don’t have any more connection from locations thru GRE tunnels to servers behind FWSM.
    Does anybody have idea how to solve this problem?

    Hi,
    not sure what you mean exactly.
    the command “mls mpls tunnel-recir” is needed to avoid packets corruption in cases where the Supervisor engine is handling both the GRE header encapsulation and the MPLS label stack imposition. Since it cannot do it in one single shot (without causing random corruption) recirculation is needed. Nevertheless its presence does not influence whether the GRE traffic is handled in hardware or in software. Even without it, IF THE GRE TUNNELS ARE CORRECTLY CONFIGURED (meaning that each GRE tunnels has its unique source address etc.), the traffic is handled in hardware.
    However since you say that after you enabled it you don't have connectivty anymore I suppose that some issue related to recirculation is happening (i.e. traffic ends up in the wrong internal vlan after recirculation).
    Unfortunately the support forum is not meant to help in this case as in-depth troubleshooting is required. For that you need a TAC case.
    regards,
    Riccardo

  • Difference between RSP-720 and SUP-720 on 7600

    Hi all,
    I wonder what's the big difference between RSP-720 and SUP-720. both have almost the same feature set, performance and also same price. Anyone can explain in detail?
    This can also be applied to difference between 6500 and 7600 and narrow difference between routers and switches these days.

    There are tons of differences between the RSP and the SUP 720.
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/routers/ps368/product_data_sheet0900aecd8057f3b6.html
    Look @ the " Hardware Enhancements over Supervisor Engine 720" section
    The 6500 and 7600 are diverging in terms of software release support on 12.2(33)SX* for 6500 and 12.2(33)SR* for 7600 which means the feature sets will be diametrically opposite.
    E.g. VSS on Cat6k's is not available on 7600's

  • Sup 720 & Sup 32 with WS-X6408-GBIC

    I have an old 6509 with sup 1 and some WS-X6408-GBIC. Now i will upgarde to Sup 720 or Sup 32.
    I need to confirm if WS-X6408-GBIC ( no A) is compatible with the new sups? specially with the shared Bus limitation on the module.

    Ran your configuration through dynamic config tool (www.cisco.com/dprg) and it doesnt show support for that gbic blade. The closest i can find is 6408A.

  • 6506, 6509 Chassis Exchange along with SUP 720-3B and SUP 2T-10G

    Hi friends,
    I have a situation which looks straight forward but since I have not done this before, I thought I should put this here to have some ideas and gottchas related suggestions to look for.
    Situation 1:
    Basically I have a situation where there is an existing 6506 chassis with SUP32-GE-3B. for some business reasons we have to replace that with a 6509 chassis with SUP720-3B keeping the configuration intact.
    Situation 2:
    In another situation, we need to replace an existing standalone chassis 6509 with SUP-2T-10G with a pair of 6506 with SUP-2T-10G on each running VSS. Is there any gottachas around this work?
    Also, while I was trying to boot the spare 6506 with SUP-2T card, it constantly went to monitor mode with the following error messages
    System Bootstrap, Version 12.2(50r)SYS3, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

    Hi SJ
    The 16-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet module is interoperable with all models of the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Virtual Switching Supervisor Engine 720 with 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks or Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Supervisor Engine 720, including VS-S720-10G-3C, VS-S720-10G-3CXL, WS-Sup720, WS-Sup720-3B, and WS-Sup720-3BXL. When mixing DFCs in the same chassis, the chassis will operate in the mode of the lowest common denominator.

  • 720/24p Question

    Hi. I am a beginner with a question. I am having an issue with the frame rate in FCP. I have been shooting at 720/24p on an HVX 200. I am recording to a Firestore FS100. It is set to DVCPRO HD and the format is set to P2. I have the FCP 6.0.4 sequence and capture presets set at DVCPRO HD 720p24. I have also checked the "Remove Advanced Pulldown and Duplicated Frames" box in the Import Preferences drop down of the Log and Transfer window. When I transfer the clips the video rate shows up in the browser window as 59.94. Is there something that I am missing to get the video rate to 23.98?
    I pulled the same clips from the Firestore into Premier and they came in at 23.98. Any help that anyone could give would be awesome.
    Thanks!
    Jeff

    Not to my knowledge. The extra frames in the 60p stream are just duplicates of the 24 that you want, so they don't hold any useful additional information. The only reason 24p records into a 60p stream is that the specs for the tape-based DVCPRO-HD format (that the HVX inherited) only support a 60p stream for 720p. The HVX embeds 24p into a 60p stream so that you can record the stream directly onto a DVCPRO-HD tape deck, if you want.
    However, since we now have P2 and FS100s that don't carry these stream restrictions, it probably seems a little wasteful to record all those duplicate frames, doesn't it? Fortunately with the FS100's newer firmware versions you now have the option to save only the frames that you're actually shooting.
    There's a storage comparison chart for the different shooting modes here:

  • Thanks to the super-users, and questions on backgrounds and drop-down menu

    Hi all.
    I've spent a fair amount of time perusing the archives, so I don't have to bother you all with the basic questions. Great thanks to Wyodor, Old Toad, Ethmoid and Cyclosaurus for their excellent and oft-repeated tutorials.
    With your help, I've figured out how to set up a personal domain name, modify my background image, and create a drop-down menu. (These were major accomplishments for a neophyte like me.) My primitive template can be seen here:
    http://www.monroekarate.org/dojo/Template.html
    And I am pretty happy with it. I have one problem, and one minor element that I'd like to fix.
    The drop-down menu was created following the excellent tutorial from the iWebfaq but I notice that although it looks perfect there is one malfunction. If you hover and try to select an element where there is no underlying content, it works fine. When you try to select a list item with underlying content, however, the drop-down disappears. Any idea why that happens or how I can fix it? I suppose I could just add a space buffer, but that is an inelegant solution.
    On a more trivial note, the background was actually supposed to be composed of two images. The top row was supposed to be a horizontal set of tiles (slightly darker in color) and the rest of the background was tiled in a second image, giving a gradient effect. I used the script Wyodor described here with repeat set to yes which gave me single-image tiling. Looks OK, but if I could get both sets of tiles used it would add substantial richness to the visual effect. Ideas?
    Thanks again for all your help to date, and thanks in advance for considering this issue!
    Cheers,
    Liam

    I appreciate your reply but those arrows were not the ones I was trying to describe. In the same box where you would type your web address on the far right is a small star and then next to it an arrow pointing down. If you click on this arrow, it normally drops down a list of the websites you commonly use. Or, if you are on a website ordering something, there might be a similar arrow that you need to select in order to choose which shipping you might want such as ground, next day air, etc., these are the kinds of arrows that are not working correctly now. Any ideas on these? Thanks for trying to help me.

  • Moving from Sup1a CatOS to Sup 2 MSFC questions

    Hey,
    Currently running a flat network with 1 x 6509 with a Sup1a and Catos at the core and 3550's in the wiring closet and STP.
    I'm installing Sup 2 MSFC in the 6509.
    Whats the current best practice on this move in terms of IOS or CatOS and how I address each closet.
    I'm looking to route to each closet.
    Create management vlans and separate user traffic.
    I'm trying to come up with an implementation plan.
    Thanks for any pointers, I am reading through the Cisco docs here as well.
    D

    When I take delivery of the Sup 2 MSFC2 will it be running NATIVE IOS or CatOS on the Sup and IOS on the MSFC ?
    Or will I have to do an initial install ?
    The reason I'm asking is I'm trying to work out and implemention plan. I want to backup the Sup1a's in the 6509 now and then take then out and put the Su2/MSFC2 in running just layer2, like it is now. Then work my way up gradually to layer 3 in each closet.
    Thanks

  • (RAID) super geek HDD questions

    I want super geeks to respond because I trust their opinions :P and I know nothing about RAID or external HDDs now adays.
    I'm a video/3D animation professional and my internal HDD is clogged with crap from old clients. In turn it's not allowing me to have much fun.
    I found an eSata pci-E 2-port card for about 50 bux. I've been looking at a lot of RAID HDDs that are eSata on NewEgg but a lot of them say "PC Ready." The only one I see that is "Mac Ready" is not eSata and does not give me the rpms (5100 7200). Ideally I'm looking at 1TB-1.5 TB. Does it matter that some of them say "PC Ready". One of them I saw was "FAT 32". Isn't that what Mac is?
    Is RAID hard to set up? Do I really need it with eSata Speeds being up to 3gb per second? Is there a solution that is around the same as regular eSATA drives described below?
    What are your suggestions and where can I find them cheapest? I'm kinda thinking I don't need RAID and this is what I've found below.
    This is the cheapest eSATA raid I've found:

    Maybe it would help you to become more knowledgeable about RAIDs so you can make a more intelligent decision. OS X does support software RAIDs and Disk Utility can be used to make RAID arrays from multiple drives installed in the computer. You can also purchase hardware RAID cards to use with internal or external drives. You can purchase RAID systems that can connect to the FireWire ports. Many options. FireWire systems will be slower than RAIDs using dedicated hard drives internally or connected directly to a SATA controller.
    RAID Basics
    For basic definitions and discussion of what a RAID is and the different types of RAIDs see RAIDs. Additional discussions plus advantages and disadvantages of RAIDs and different RAID arrays see:
    RAID Tutorial;
    RAID Array and Server: Hardware and Service Comparison>.
    Hardware or Software RAID?
    RAID Hardware Vs RAID Software - What is your best option?
    RAID is a method of combining multiple disk drives into a single entity in order to improve the overall performance and reliability of your system. The different options for combining the disks are referred to as RAID levels. There are several different levels of RAID available depending on the needs of your system. One of the options available to you is whether you should use a Hardware RAID solution or a Software RAID solution.
    RAID Hardware is always a disk controller to which you can cable up the disk drives. RAID Software is a set of kernel modules coupled together with management utilities that implement RAID in Software and require no additional hardware.
    Pros and cons
    Software RAID is more flexible than Hardware RAID. Software RAID is also considerably less expensive. On the other hand, a Software RAID system requires more CPU cycles and power to run well than a comparable Hardware RAID System. Also, because Software RAID operates on a partition by partition basis where a number of individual disk partitions are grouped together as opposed to Hardware RAID systems which generally group together entire disk drives, Software RAID tends be slightly more complicated to run. This is because it has more available configurations and options. An added benefit to the slightly more expensive Hardware RAID solution is that many Hardware RAID systems incorporate features that are specialized for optimizing the performance of your system.
    For more detailed information on the differences between Software RAID and Hardware RAID you may want to read: Hardware RAID vs. Software RAID: Which Implementation is Best for my Application?

  • MSI Z87-G45 Super Raid setup questions

    I have a MSI Z87-G45 board and two SSD's. I have never setup raids before but plan to do so. I saw there is a app to install for Super Raid. I thought I had to setup raid before installing windows? Seeing the app is something I can download from the MSI Live Update app it makes me think I can setup this up after windows has been installed. Is this correct?
    If not how do I go about setting up Raid? I don't mind reinstalling windows if I need to. I did not see raid options in the Bios.
    Thank you

    I bet that mSATA is controlled By that same controller and so you cant use some of your SATA port same time as you use those mSATA cards, SSDs,...
    To need to get in BIOS and change to RAID makes it kinda HW RAID and so that "Best Solution" is kinda wrong. As you can format it in current Windows, but you need to reg edit before or you get Blue Screen and so cant get in OS.
    You have had allways chanse to use diffrent drives like HDD's and SSD's in mix When they have same data cable like SATA. The speed and size, go like allways higer rules.
    I need to read more in to this Super RAID. But i ges you arent in useing mSATA, so use it like normal HW RAID and get real intel drives for it (in USB stick) before os install and install them on screen you choose your drive. That way you dont need to update them after install
    Have great Hollydays! Cheers Mummy
