The SG200-08 switch drops IP fragments

Easy test: take an SG200-08 with firmware 1.0.7.4.  Reset it to factory defaults.
Connect two computers.  Suppose that one of them is 192.168.1.2.  From the other one, do:
$ ping -s 1472 192.168.1.2
This works fine.  Now do:
$ ping -s 1473 192.168.1.2
This sends two IP fragments for each echo request.  Both are dropped by the switch.  You see this with tcpdump as well.
Needless to say, this breaks things.  Is there a configuration setting I'm missing?  Is this a bug in this switch firmware?
The same issue existed in 1.0.1.something.

Hello all,
I have done some research on this issue. I found some cases that were escalated due to this issue and other similar issues. The consistent response that I have found is that the switch is "performing as designed". There is a limitation with regards to the maximum packet size for ICMP traffic. The switch will not permit ICMP packets larger than 1272 bytes. This was implemented to prevent ICMP based DDoS attacks. Normal TCP and UDP traffic is not affected. Also, SG200-08 have a DoS drop action for ICMP fragments.
This information comes from the development team and there is no plan to change the functionality.

  • SSH on SG200 series switches

    Community,
    Can someone tell me what the intention behind adding SSH to the SG200 series switches was.  Is it to allow SCP copies to and from the switch for configuration and firmware updates OR is it to allow CLI access to the switches.
    I have tried to SSH to the switch using PuTTY from Windows and native SSH from Linux/Unix clients, but nothing happens.
    Is there some other area of configuration to enable communcation via SSH?
    Thanks.                  

    Hi, any access feature would be under security -> tcp/udp services
    SSH, telnet, etc is not included there.
    The only SG200 switch which supports a CLI is the SG200E models (which has supported CLI for as long as I can remember , at least 2 yrs).
    Please reference the documentation, Chapter 18 start page 276.
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/csbss/sf20x_sg20x/administration_guide/78-21139.pdf
    As far as I can tell this is for things like Secure Copy.
    There is also CLI information in chapter 19, here's the excerpt. This is in context with SSD.
    The Menu CLI interface is only allowed to users if their read permissions are Both
    or Plaintext Only. Other users are rejected. Sensitive data in the Menu CLI is always
    displayed as plaintext.
    Password recovery is currently activated from the boot menu and allows the user
    to log on to the terminal without authentica
    tion. If SSD is supported, this option is
    only permitted if the local passphrase is identical to the default passphrase. If a
    device is configured with a user-defined passphrase, the user is unable to activate
    password recovery.

  • SG200-26 Switch Power Loss

    We have 2 of the SG200-26 switchs. When ever we loss power all the settings are reset to default. Even if we loss power for 1 min. This includes the IP, user, password, etc. How can I change this so the settings are saved?
    Thank you

    Hi Bill,
    I want to be sure you are taking advantage of the newer switch firmware version 1.1.0.73 for your new switch.
    http://www.cisco.com/cisco/pub/software/portal/select.html?&i=!m&mdfid=283452721
    But,  to answer your question,  you need to save your running  configuration to the switches non volitile memory.  The Admin guide on page 6 warns;
    CAUTION Unless the Running Configuration is copied to the Startup Configuration, all changes made since the last time the file was saved are lost if the switch is rebooted. Save the Running Configuration to the Startup Configuration before logging off to preserve any changes you made during this session.
    A flashing red X icon displayed to the left of the 'Save' application link indicates that Running Configuration changes have been made that have not yet been saved to the Startup Configuration file. The flashing can be disabled by clicking on the Disable Save Icon Blinking button on the Copy/Save Configuration page
    reference Admin guide 
    reference Quick Start Guide
    Alternatively,  go to the File management section of the GUI and copy the running configuration to the startup configuration.  This will save any changes you dynamically made to the switch to a file in the switch.  (This startup file is read as the switch boots up.)
    Even though the screen capture below was taken from the 200 series  bigger brother the 300 series, the save function should be pretty much identical to your switch. Note the save icon I have highlighted in red. 
    Also note,  I have the GUI section displayed  that shows copying the running configuration in the switch to a startup configuration location within the switch.  This GUI is not identical to the 200 series switch as the 300 series switch family has more functions compared to the 200 series switch.
    regards Dave

  • Packet-Delay and Reordering with a SG200-18-Switch

    Sometimes we see an issue that the switch delays a fragment up to one millisecond. And the delay may cause reordering...
    We are using a "SG200-18 18-Port Gigabit Smart Switch" with the following Version:
    Software Information
    Firmware Version (Active Image):    1.3.2.02

    We looked in the configuration of the switch but we can't find something, so we assume that it might be a bug in the switch...
    It is also remarkable that sometimes the same fragment is delayed by two  different Cisco switches in the setup; so it may be be something about  the content of the packet...
    Any suggestions, what it can be? Thanks in advance!

    Hi Jger, is this for something like a message of the day? What are you using UDP 17 for?  UDP is still best effort which the switch may not necessarily be faulted for. You may try something such as turning off spanning tree on the ports to see if that can help somehow.

  • Help with VLANs on SG200-18 and two SG200-08 switches

    Hi everybody. My apologies but I'm only average at best with my CISCO skills. I have simple setup running a few network devices connected via 3 CISCO switches. It's small office and there are two rooms - one with servers and one with printer and pc's. Each room has 8-port SG200-08 switch.
    Router/ firewall is Sonicwall TZ215 and it handles internal routing between VLAN's. Each SG200-08 was connected directly to TZ215 (no SG200-18 yet) and VLANs were working perfectly. Please see diagram below...
    Problems started when I added in the middle larger SG200-18 to handle extra devices. Whatever I'm doing wrong but I can't make VLANs work anymore. Something I'm not setting up correctly in SG200-18.
    Please help me to setup VLANS here - tagged, untagged, PVID, trunk........ I'm completely lost and already had to reset SG200-18 twice.
    My working setup without 18 port switch was like this.
    SG200-08 (1)
        g1  Trunk  1     1U,100T 
        g2  Trunk  1     1U   
        g3  Trunk  1     1U   
        g4  Trunk  1     1U   
        g5  Trunk  1     1U   
        g6  Trunk  1     1U            SERVER3    
        g7  Trunk  100   100U      SERVER1
        g8  Trunk  100   100U      SERVER2
    SG200-08 (2)
        g1  Trunk  1     1U,50T,200T   
        g2  Trunk  1     1U   
        g3  Trunk  1     1U   
        g4  Trunk  1     1U           PC1A
        g5  Trunk  1     1U           PC1B
        g6  Trunk  50    50U        PC2A
        g7  Trunk  50    50U        PC2B
        g8  Trunk  200   200U     NETWORK PRINTER
    Thank you in advance.

    Hello,
    Small switches would remain untouched but 200-18 needs to have the following settings:
     g15 Trunk  1     1U,100T 
     g16  Trunk  1     1U,50T,200T
     g17 Trunk  1     1U,50T,200T
     g18 Trunk   1      1U,50T,100T,200T
    Sonicwall now would have only one port connected to SG200-18 with settinngs matching port g18 on big switch.
    If you notice there is a change as now you would have only 1 port connecting your network to the Sonicwall, would advise you to use port 17 or 18 since they are uplink ports.
    If you have tried to connect two ports to big switch STP would block one of the ports.
    Let me know how it is going :-)

  • Cisco SD2008 v3 switch dropping connections every few hours

    Hi, I have a Cisco SD2008 v3 switch at the office that routinely drops connections every few hours and must be turned off/on to get back up. It doesn't seem to drop all connections, but some boxes plain and simply become unreachable.
    I've double-checked that there aren't any looping cables. The network infrastructure wasn't touched, as we had a cheap unbranded switch before (which amusingly didn't have any problems other than an annoying fan) and just put the Cisco in.
    I've googled a bit and found some references to this problem, which leads me to believe it's reasonably widespread. Is there a firmware update of some sort for this equipment? Any ideas?

    Hi Bruno,
    If you would be so kind as to ring the good folks at the Small Business Support center regarding this issue.
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/support/tsd_cisco_small_business_support_center_contacts.html
    If there is a known problem with this older product it should be replaced.  You cannot update the unmanaged switch with new firmware as I guess that can only be done in a factory.
    But the older SD2008  has been refreshed by  the new  technology SD2008T  (100 series)  which are really quite advanced compared to the older SD series switches.

  • No link between Sg200-26 switch and netgear gs1081 v2switch

    Hi everyone,
    Would someone be kind enough to guide me through my problem. I am a newbie and dont know much about networking more so other technical stuff like trunking, vlans etc....
    there is no connection (no link activity) betwen my cisco sg200-26  switch and a netgear gs108T switch which i have purchased recently. Whereas, a link is automatically  obtained if i connect the sg 200 to an unmanged asus ASUS Gx-D1081 V2.. Any help  would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks very much in advance
    Isaac

    Hi Isaac, can you describe the physical port behavior between the switches? Does the link lights turn on at either switch?
    Are you able to manage either switch locally? (connect your computer to either switch and log in to the supported access method?)

  • Does setting the PLOGI PRELU switch to BTCI trigger batch job

    Hello HR Experts,
    When I set the PLOGI PRELU switch to BTCI do I have to schedule the batch job to run daily or will it run automatically by just setting the BTCI switch?
    Thanks.

    Hi,<br>
    You have to create a job and assign the RHINTE report. It has to be done once manually and job will take care every other time.
    Good luck<br><br>

  • Unable to directly connect WTI CMS-16 to a SG200-26 switch

    Hello,
    We recently replaced a Netgear 16-port JGS516 gigabit switch with a Cisco SG200-26 switch.  When we did, we lost our ability to talk to our WTI CMS-16 (Western Telematics 16-port serial lines).   The CMS-16 has a 10Base-T Ethernet, RJ45 connector that provides telnet access to 16 serial ports.
    When we put a Netgear DS104 hub in between the CMS-16 and the SG200-26, all is well.  Packets flow back and forth and we are able to ping and telnet to the CMS-16 through the hub.
    When we directly connect the CMS-16 to the SG200-26 and ping the CMS-16, the "Status & Statistics"->Interface records transmitted packets and "nil" received packets. By "nil" we mean that if we wait long enough the statistics reports an occasional (about once every few minutes) 68-octet Unicast packet was received.
    When the CMS-16 is directly connected, the SG200-26 link light is lit. We cannot Administration->Diagnostics->"Copper Test" because the "Copper Test" button is greyed out.
    When the CMS-16 is plugged into the Netgear DS104 hub, the CMS-16 port has its 10M LED lit, and the port connected to the SG200-26 has its 100M LED lit.
    Our SG200-26 switch is running firmware version 1.1.0.73.   We are using a single LVAN ... nothing fancy.  The CMS-16 is running firmware version 2.06.
    Do we need to configure the port on the SG200-26 in some special way to deal with this legacy CMS-16 device?
    chongo (Landon Curt Noll) /\oo/\

    Hello Dave,
    We tried your idea by making the following change on the SG200-26:
    Administration -> Port Management -> Port Settings -> 7 -> ((Click Edit))
        ((unplug the cms-16 from Port 7))
        Interface: GE7
        Port Description: cms-16
        Administrative Status: (*) Up
        Reactivate Suspected Port: [x]
        Auto Negoation: [ ] Enable
        Administrative Port Speed: (*) 10M
        Administrative Duplex Mode: (*) Half
        MDI/MDIX: (*) Auto
        ((Click Apply))
        ((Plug in ithe cms-16 to Port 7))
    Unfortunately that did not fix the problem.  Namely:
    When we directly connect the CMS-16 to the SG200-26 and ping the CMS-16, the "Status & Statistics"->Interface records transmitted packets and "nil" received packets. By "nil" we mean that if we wait long enough the statistics reports an occasional (about once every few minutes) 68-octet Unicast packet was received. We cannot Administration->Diagnostics->"Copper Test" because the "Copper Test" button is greyed out.
    When we put a Netgear DS104 Dual-Speed "hub" in between the CMS-16 and the SG200-26, all is well.  Packets flow back and forth and we are able to ping and telnet to the CMS-16 through the hub.  Now both the CMS-16 port and the port connected to the SG200-26 has both of their 10M LEDs lit.  (i.e., the above configuration change DID force the port to operate at 10M).
    Are there other parametes we need to change on the SG200-26?
    Thanks for your help.
    chongo (Landon Curt Noll) /\oo/\
    p.s. We have two Network Power Switches, also by the same manufacturer (WTI) and of the same "vintage" (c. 2000) that operate just fine at 10M and Half Duplex.

    but if i use vpn to connect the router i wont able to ping or see the switch, but i can ping the router and all other computers are on vlan2, and vlan2 not able to go to manage the switch too or ping it
    what should i change to let vpn can access to vlan1 to manage the switch, thanks

    Hello Gianluca,
    In order for this setup to work, you will have to have a router that supports multiple vlans. You did not mention the model of the router or if it does this so I wanted to first mention that.
    I understand your setup to be as follows- Internet -> Router -> Switch 1 -> Switch 2
    On each port that connects a network device you will want to set the following-
    Trunk port
    Vlan settings of 1U, 2T, 3T
    This allows default vlan of 1 and also other vlans
    On other ports (1-4 , 7-9) you want to set them as follows-
    Access port
    Vlan of 2U OR 3U
    This puts that port into the vlan of your choice
    This will be the configuration needed, but again, you must have a router that will support vlans or multiple subnets.

    I'm not that familiar with how FaceTime works. I know how to set It up but I don't use it. I just know that you can't activate in the UAE. I believe that you can activate in any country that permits it's use. Whether you will need a new ID or not, I can't confirm.
    You can Google this and get all sorts of articles on workarounds. Apparently if you set up a VPN you can use it in the UAE. Here is one article that I found.

  • Gregory Johnson, Director of the Consumer Defense Resource Group, responds to the recent iPhone price drop.

    Gregory Johnson, Director of the Consumer Defense Resource Group, responds to the recent iPhone price drop.
    In a strange turn of events this week, some consumers are upset now because as of Wednesday (Sept. 5) Apple lowered the retail price of their iPhone by $200. The 8GB iPhone is now $400 rather than $600. Customers raised such an outcry that Steve Jobs has published an open letter in response.
    Apple and other companies are continually coming out with new products that usually offer more speed, more storage, more features, and cost less than previous models. Nobody has ever complained -- until now. Why haven't people complained in the past when Apple has had significant price drops and major upgrades on their other products? There wasn't a revolt then. There were no mobs of angry customers demanding rebates.
    My first CD drive was a 2X speed external drive that required a special interface card in the computer. It cost $1,200 and today better drives are available for about $30. My first scanner was a very slow and big unit costing over $1,000. Today, better scanners are available for under $100. My first computer cost more than $2,000 and had a 20MB hard drive. With 8GB of storage, the iPhone should cost about $800,000. So, $600 didn’t seem too expensive.
    I bought my iPhone for $600 knowing that by next year they would probably drop to about $300 or $400. I didn't think there would be a mid-year drop, but so what. I knew the trajectory of technology progress would mean that a better phone will be available in 6 to 9 months at probably a lower price -- more apps, faster, more features, more memory. It's a given. You buy something this month. Next month it will be obsolete. That's just the way it is. Perhaps Apple should put a disclaimer on their website stating: "Warning: Our products will increasingly become faster, cooler, more innovative, and offer greater value for the dollar as time goes on. Get used to it."
    Apple is progressing so quickly now, beyond any other technology innovation company, that this kind of thing is likely to happen again in the future with some other product of theirs. Are people going to complain each time? Must the company give out rebates each time? This all seems so silly. It’s no longer possible to compare Apple to other companies with regard to their ability to implement product improvements. It’s like dog years versus human years. Two months in Apple’s world of product development is equal to about 6 to 9 months for most manufacturers. I know it is difficult, but people need to get used to that.
    To the complainers out there, I have a few questions. Would you like Apple to be less innovative? Would you like Apple to not give you more value and voluntarily drop their prices by hundreds of dollars? Is that what you want? Don't get upset at Apple just because they are pushing the envelope of technical innovation and value from one month to the next. What if Apple released an 8-core computer this summer and then by fall they announced their new 16-core computer? This is the kind of development and progress pace we need to start expecting from Apple. The migration to Intel processors went much faster than anticipated.
    Some research suggests that the iPhone cost of materials are about $300. So, there had been some complaints that Apple is price gouging by selling the iPhone for twice that amount. What people don’t understand is that there are other costs in building a piece of technology and running a business beyond the electronic components that go into them. The actual cost per 8GB iPhone is probably about $550. When Apple sells them for $400 each, I calculate they are taking a loss on the phone of about $150 per phone. Why would a company do this? There is something called a “lost leader” in retail sales. It’s a product you sell below your cost in an effort to rapidly expand your customer base. I’m guessing this is what Apple is doing by offering the iPhone at such an amazingly low price.
    I'm planning to purchase an Apple notebook sometime soon. I'm not in a hurry, so I'm waiting until they announce the next major upgrade to their notebook line. I'm guessing it will be this fall. If I really was in a rush to get a notebook, I'd get one now, and then be a little disappointed when the new ones are announced -- but I wouldn’t be surprised. Instead, I'm waiting. I'd like to see built-in broadband cards (cellular data access) and LED back lighting in the 17-inch notebook. Perhaps larger hard drives and faster processors would be nice. It would be wonderful if it had an optical glass touch screen like the iPhone.
    This latest uproar reminds me of the consumer complaints about iPods scratching. For decades, portable handheld computing devices have been available. They get scratched, and nobody says anything. Anyone concerned about their device scratching can purchase a protective cover. Then Apple comes along and offers their product. Suddenly consumers are in an uproar about it scratching and there is a class action lawsuit. It doesn’t seem fair that the most progressive and innovative company out there is the one that gets beaten up by consumers the most.

    I've read too many reports in the media from people more highly credentialed than Mr. Johnson to the contrary.
    The analogies and comparisons are still way off. Production didn't get cheaper, the phone didn't get upgraded, no carrier's are subsidizing, retailer's are not discounting. Never has the MSRP of CD-ROMs, nor cellphones, nor HDTV's dropped this quickly in history.
    I'm tired and going to bed. But here's your assignment. Apple's price decrease rate is 33.3% in 67 days. What would a $10,000 item cost at that rate in one year?
    Actually product advancement and innovation are very much the central issue here. Apple has effectively "upgraded" the 4GB unit to 8GB and reduced the price by $100. It's all in how you look at it.
    The real issue of innovation and development has yet to be seen, but the recent price drop is an indicator that Apple already has something "in the shoot" to be released soon.
    I was thinking it might take a year for a new version of the iPhone to be announced. Yet, with the recent price drop, it seems they may be lowering the price on the original unit to make room for a new one. Which is my point exactly. Apple is so fast at innovating that they already have something new to release (that's my prediction).
    They can't release something new and sell the old units if the "something new" and the "something old" are at the same price. It makes sense that the 8GB unit would drop to $400 and the new one will be $600.

  • I have version 3.6.16 and when I login to my hotmail account, and type the first letter of the email address, a drop down box appears with my hotmail address and I can choose it from that box with a click. How do I get version 4 to do this? Thanks.

    The new but not-ready-for-prime-time autocomplete method searches for matches that contain the entered text, not just ones that begin with the string. Your options are:
    1) type in longer strings that narrow the search
    2) use an add-on to search just the beginnings:

  • When I click on a link in an email, the comoputer locks p and the screen goes black, requiring a shut down from the on-off switch. My version of Firefox is up-to-date.

    The on-off switch is the only way I can turn off the computer, because the screen is black. Then I turn on the computer again to reboot, and when I click on Firefox again it takes from 30 to 90 seconds before Firefox opens, at which point I get a message asking if I want to begin a new session. Then I open emails and don't click on any links. If I check my email using Internet Explorer, the problem does not occur. Your help would be appreciated. After 50 years of operating comoputers, I have never seen this problem. Regards----Lloyd Schultz

    Fred...thanks, but this is not about one site. The same thing happens often, with many sites, when i click a link that has come up in Google search, or on Twitter or Facebook or within a story I'm reading. The link takes me to the url of what it was supposed to take me too, then within a second or so it switches to that Yahoo 'error handler' url, a page that offers search for similar sites.
    Again, thank you.
