Trouble uplinking to 2960 switch

Hello,
Just installed a new 2960 switch.
Everything is working except that I am no longer to uplink a small unmanged linksys switch that is leftover from previous configuration.
I am using x-over cable and have tried adjusting switchport modes.
If I use a straight through cable, The link goes up and down constantly. If I use a x-over cable, the link stays up but no communications.
What am I doing wrong?

Brian,
I would guess that the problem your having is a line speed negotiation problem. Without the specific models numbers of the equipment and the ports being used on the equipment for the uplink, it is just a guess.
All Linksys switches auto cross over. While this function can be disabled (on most models), it should not be an issue.
You may be plugging your Linksys into the 10/100/1000 of the 2960 which may be confusing the Linksys terribly if it is only 10/100. Try one of the 10/100 ports on your 2960 or statically set the line speeds on one or both devices, where available.
Get those model and port numbers and we will look deeper.
Thanks,
Chris

  • Aironet 1142 as supplicant to 2960 switch (NEAT/CISP/MAB)

    Hello!
    First, my configuration, (then the problem down below):
    I have an Aironet 1142 with mulitple SSIDs [mapped to VLANs] connected to Gi1/0/2 on a 2960 switch in a user-accessible area.  This switch is uplinked to another 2960 switch in a wiring closet, and the Microsoft NPS server is connected to the wiring closet 2960.
    Aironet -- 2960 [user area] --- 2960 [closet] -- NPS RADIUS
    I have the user-area 2960 configured as an authenticator switch for dot1x, and port Gi1/0/2 is authenticating the Aironet via MAB to RADIUS.  RADIUS is sending VSA device-traffic-class=switch to the 2960.  The closet-2960 has no special 802.1x configuration, nor is it an authenticator swtich; it just has a manually-configured trunk port to the user-area 2960 [for now; i'm trying to take this one step at a time!].
    The user-area 2960 correctly converts port Gi1/0/1 to a trunk port when the Aironet is authenticated [via MAB].  The Aironet boots up, the port is opened, I can ping the Aironet on the native VLAN, and all is well [so it seems].  The Aironet's dot11Radio is configured for two SSIDs and mapped to VLANs, which are being spanned via STP thru the user-area 2960 and the closet-2960.  STP is correct and verified on all switches.
    I have DHCP snooping configured on the user-area 2960 but only for VLAN 1 [but NOT the wireless user VLANs], the trunk port to the closet 2960 is a trusted port.  Hosts on the wired ports on the user-area 2960 are able to get DHCP IPs.  On the Aironet, "show dot11 associations" shows hosts on the SSIDs are getting DHCP addresses.  Again, I am *NOT* running dhcp snooping on wireless SSID VLANs [i read elsewhere that can cause problems as users roam between Aironets].
    I do have CISP configured on the user-area 2960.  I do not have CISP configured on the closet-2960 [best I can tell, that's not required at this stage, but I could be wrong].
    Despite the alleged documentation, I could not get the Aironet to use a dot1x credentials profile to authenticate to NPS/RADIUS as an 802.1x supplicant, which is why I resorted to MAB for this exercise.  The Aironet simply would not run dot1x [best I could tell].  The documentation and configuration didn't seem complex, so I was quite confused.
    I have upgraded the Aironet to the latest 12.4(25d)JA2 software, and the 2960 is at 12.2(55)SE7 [i saw 12.2(58) has some issues, but i'm willing to be persuaded otherwise, based on sound advice].
    Ok, now the problem:  
    Users on the guest wireless SSID (Vlan 20) say they cannot connect.  Yep, classic.  VLAN 20 is trunked and spanned to all the sufficient places.  The Aironet shows users in the associations list for that SSID with IP addresses from the DHCP server!  DHCP snooping is not configured on that VLAN. 
    I read another support forum post saying CISP and MAB could cause problems with "disappearing" ARP entries.  I appear to have that problem.  However, the user on the Staff wireless (VLAN 10) has full access.  Am I running into a problem with "multi-host" authentication config?  Via tcpdump on my firewall, I see nothing but broadcast and multicast traffic coming from a host on VLAN 20.  What puzzles me is how I do see *SOME* traffic from a VLAN 20 host on this SSID, but no unicast traffic! Argh!
    Since you're going to ask, here is my port config for this AP on the 2960 authenticator switch in the user-area, and the AAA config pieces:
    #sh run br | in ip dhcp          
    ip dhcp snooping vlan 1
    no ip dhcp snooping information option

    Ok, what am I missing??

    The problem lies in the wired Ethernet port on the Aironet.  I did not submit that configuration because I thought it was simple and unrelated.  Here is what I had:
    interface GigabitEthernet0.20
    encapsulation dot1Q 20
    no ip route-cache
    bridge-group 20
    no bridge-group 20 source-learning
    no bridge-group 20 unicast-flooding
    bridge-group 20 spanning-disabled
    The correct configuration should have been:
    interface GigabitEthernet0.20
    encapsulation dot1Q 20
    no ip route-cache
    bridge-group 20
    no bridge-group 20 source-learning
    bridge-group 20 spanning-disabled
    The line "no bridge-group 20 unicast-flooding" should not be applied to the wired port.  That's stupid.   With that erroneous command, the wired port will forward only broadcast and multicast traffic!  Unicast traffic will be dropped.  Oops.
    However, I do not understand why applying this to the radio interfaces has no effect there.  I have yet to find any conclusive detailed answers, either.  Regardless, my original problem is fixed.

  • How to configure a cisco 2960 switch to support two routers(data and voice), please give me any suggestions

    HI, I need to configure a 2960 switch at a client site. They have routers already been installed on site, one is for data traffic another is for voice. I have created two vlans on switch  for data and voice. Now I couldn't get any idea what would be the default gateway on switch. 
    Please give me any suggestions.

    HI Leo, 
                Many thanks for your reply.
             But there are two up-links going from Gi 0/1 and Gi 0/2. I have configured the S/W like below, 
    interface GigabitEthernet0/1
    description UPLINK TO Data router
    switchport access vlan 100
     switchport mode access
    interface GigabitEthernet0/2
    description UPLINK TO voice router
    switchport access vlan 100
     switchport mode access
    interface Vlan1
     no ip address
     no ip route-cache
     shutdown
    interface Vlan60
     ip address 192.168.1.253 255.255.255.0
     ip helper address 192.168.1.1
     no ip route-cache
    interface Vlan100
     ip address 172.16.1.253 255.255.255.0
     ip helper address 172.16.1.1
     no ip route-cache
     I have used IP helper address, but I am getting some connecting issues on PCs and IP phones. Please suggest me, Can I manage it with two uplinks with different IP addresses. 
    Thanks in advance.

  • Cisco 2960XR uplink to 6509E switch won't work

    I have recently purchased a Cisco WS-C2960XR-48LPD switch, which I am unable to connect back up to my 6509 switch. The only thing I can think of that might be an issue is the fact that the uplink type for the 2960 is 10Gig and the line card back on the 6509 is a 1Gig SFP line card. So, I switched to a 1Gig SFP module in the 2960 switch but to no avail. I then placed the 10Gig SFP back in the 2960 and tried to connect to the Sup2T's 10Gig GBIC uplink connection but  still this did not work.
    6509 Configs (Sup 2T), line card types are WS-X6748-SFP and WS-X6724-SFP, which are 1 Gig SFP line cards
    Interface GigabitEthernet2/3
    switchport
    switchport mode trunk
    switchport trunk allowed vlan all
    2960XR switch Configs
    Interface TenGigabitEthernet1/0/1
    switchport
    switchport mode trunk
    switchport trunk allowed vlan all
    SFP information
    The type of SFP that the 2960 switch came with is a SFP-10G-SR, which is a 10 Gig SFP module. This does not work.
    Type of SFP being used with the 2960 switch for testing is a GLC-SX-MM sfp, which is a 1 Gig SFP module. This does not work.

    1.  I agree with Glenn.  Cisco SFP/SFP+ modules only have one speed.  So your two modules must match or the link won't go up. 
    2.  Depending on the type of line card you are using, the configurtion for Gig 2/3 is missing the command "switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q".  You do not need this command in the 2960XR.

  • Can you stack 2960 Switch?

    My question is can I stack two or more 2960 switches, master/slave design and be able to manage them both using the CMS technology or not. I don't quite understand the SFP, Small Form-Factor Pluggable, and the 2960 uplink ports. It appears as though one uplink will be in standby mode, therefore both ports can't be active at the same time. If that is the case it looks as though you can't stack becasue of only one uplink port being active.

    Hi Washro,
    You cannot stack 2960 switch like you can do 3750 switches but you can still achieve clustering on this switch.
    http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/lan/cat2960/12240se/scg/swclus.htm
    Also both uplink ports can be active at a time if they get connected to some other switches but if 2 get uplink to same switch then STP will block one port.

  • Can not administer Catalyst 2960 switch via console

    Hello,
    I want to configure my switch via console cable, the switch boots up normally, and there are no configurations present on the switch.  However, anything I type does not appear on the terminal client.  I used several terminal clients (TeraTerm, PuTTY, HyperTerminal), all latest versions as well as different PCs.  I even forced the switch to rommon mode, still, anything I type does not appear on the terminal client.
    Here's the output of TeraTerm:

    After the last line, I can not type any command at all.  I encountered this on three 2960 switches that we have here in our laboratory.  Can anybody help me on how I can get access to the switch via console?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Does ip source guard has any syslog or message??(on 2960 switch)

    hi everyone , I got a problem that I need to config a secure feature "IP SOURECE GUARD" on 2960 switch
    Everthing is ok
    But, when the IP-MAC mismatch
    I can't receive any SYSLOG from "show log"
    Only from "show ip verify source"  to know which interface be denied
    L2#show ip verify source
    Interface  Filter-type  Filter-mode  IP-address       Mac-address        Vlan

  • Etherchannel between 2960 switches

    Hello All,
    I configured etherchannel between two 2960 switches.
    Both the switches have SVI with subnet 192.168.2.3 and 192.168.2.4
    I have another vlan3 on one of the switch.
    so when i created etherchannel between two Gig ports and allowed both the vlans,it gave me an error messg,
    Nov  3 12:41:07.332 KSA: %EC-5-CANNOT_BUNDLE2: Gi1/0/19 is not compatible with Gi1/0/20 and will be suspended (vlan mask is different)

    May i know why....
    Thanks

    Hello Mudasir
    This will be a problem of allowed vlan mismatch. All the interfaces which are going to add in the etherchannel must have same allowed vlan on both sides.
    You can check for the allowed vlan on all the interfaces as well as on Port-channel.
    You can see the below forum having the same problem:

    Calculate?  Calculate for wirespeed/line-rate?  If the latter, take all the port bandwidths, and assuming they are duplex, double for necessary fabric bandwidth.  I.e. 48 gig ports would need a 96 Gbps fabric.  Take all your port bandwidths, and allow 1.448 Mpps per gig (for minimum size Ethernet packets), i.e. 48 gig ports would need 69.5 Mpps.  Once you have required fabric bandwidth and PPS, you can compare to vendor's specs.

  • Connecting 2 3750 Switches in Stack with 2 2960 switches in full Mesh

    Hi Friends,
               I have attached a pics  which DC design of one of our customer , as network engineer i have design this , so i am responsible for implementing it, now request you all to kindly guide me what would be technical problem i have to face in achieving this and how can i over come .Please be in detail. Waiting for your response .
    Regards
    Amit Kulshrestha

    I have attached modified diagram , please suggest.
    The major issue I see is that you have not mentioned whether the 2960's are stacked? For the design to work, they need to be stacked because you cannot create port-channels between them and the Core switches unless then 2960's are stacked.
     ==> You are right , surely 2960 Switch need to be in stack form.
    Personally I would look at more powerful switches than the 2960's, something along the lines of the 3750x range or probably now the 3850's.
    ==> This is constrain of customer, not our responsibility.
    The second issue I see is that your servers are connected to the WAN switches. Is there a reason for this? Usually they would be connected to the core switches.
    ==> For this If 1 separate 2960 series switch can be used ?.
    The final point is that you only have single connections from each of your WAN connections which begs the question as to the purpose of having two WAN switches?
    ==> Customer is having 1900 series of router , only two ports one used for WAN and other used for LAN.
    The objective of having two switches is to provide redundancy/resiliency. If you have only one connection from each WAN then why do you need two switches as there is no redundancy?
    ==> Customer has agreed to have manual change at the time of failure.

  • IOS for 2960 switch

    How i can download IOS for 2960 switch...?

    No. I have not Service contact?
    A valid Cisco Service Contract is needed to download IOS from Cisco website.  You may need to talk to your authorized Cisco reseller or the vendor who sold you the switch.

  • 2960s switch gui and smartport user defined macro

    Hi,
    I have a few 2960s switches and would like to use the GUI to configure ports using the smartport function. These seem to be based on predefined macro's which I can't edit. I have created my own macro, how do I enable the macro in the GUI so I can use the use my own macro?
    Regards,
    Paul

    Ok, SmartPort macro is now a HIDDEN command, since 12.2(58)SE and later.  
    If you've got a macro you want to use, you have to enter it using CLI.  Here's how you do it: 
    config t
    macro name <BLAH>
    [ENTER YOUR MACRO HERE]
    [Use the "@" to end your macro]
    end
    To envoke the macro: 
    config t
    interface <BLAH>
    macro apply <MACRO NAME>
    end
    To view the macro: 
    sh pars macro name <MACRO NAME>
