Trunk port vs Access port speed

I am setting up a 4900M for a temporary training class, for 1Gb connected client PCs.  I used a 10Gb interface with an X2-10G-SR which will connect via 62.5 micron fiber, to a 4948 10Gb interface with an SFP-10Gb-SR.  As for the config, I have the 4900M te1/1 setup as an access port to the 4948.  The connectivity is fine, as is the routing.  But when we use the client PCs disk connectivity (connecting to 10Gb storage) we get great read speeds but when it tries writing it slows down and eventually errors out.  
Question 1:  Would it make a difference if the 4900M was connected via a trunk port to the 4948?
I believe the issue is the length of the 62.5 fiber, and the maximum transmit\receive length of the transceivers, but I want to rule out the switchport configuration.

Thanks.  You were correct, as changing the port configuration from access to trunk produced the same R/W speeds.  The issue was with the fiber run being too long for the SR trancievers.

  • Access to trunk port clarification

    Hello-
    I am looking to clarify a point of confusion for myself regrading connecting an access port to a trunk port. Consider the following switchport config on switch1:
    Switch#1
    interface GigabitEthernet0/5
     switchport
     switchport access vlan 6
    ....and the corresponding config on it's neighbor:
    Switch#2
    Interface GigabitEthernet10/8
    switchport
    switchport mode trunk
    switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,6,100
    My first question is- Is this a valid configuration? Secondly, what would the expected results be? I am curious about what vlans would be allowed to pass through..
    Thanks in advance-
    Brian

    This would work fine but not recommended.
    Also the traffic between the switches would be only Native Vlan and vlan 6 will pass through.
    SW1-----F0/1----------f0/1----SW2
    SW1#sh int trunk 
    Port        Mode         Encapsulation  Status        Native vlan
    Fa0/1       auto         n-802.1q       trunking      1
    Port        Vlans allowed on trunk
    Fa0/1       1-1005

    Fa0/1       1,6
    Port        Vlans in spanning tree forwarding state and not pruned
    Fa0/1       1,6
    SW1#
    SW2
    SW2#sh int trunk 
    Port        Mode         Encapsulation  Status        Native vlan
    Fa0/1       on           802.1q         trunking      1
    Port        Vlans allowed on trunk
    Fa0/1       1,6,100
    Port        Vlans allowed and active in management domain
    Fa0/1       1,6,100
    Port        Vlans in spanning tree forwarding state and not pruned
    Fa0/1       1,6,100
    SW2#
    2) Part of this config is that any vlans which are been configured under the SW1 would be allowed through that access port.
    ex:
    SW1#sh int trunk 
    Port        Mode         Encapsulation  Status        Native vlan
    Fa0/1       auto         n-802.1q       trunking      1
    Port        Vlans allowed on trunk
    Fa0/1       1-1005
    Port        Vlans allowed and active in management domain
    Fa0/1       1,6,10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100
    Port        Vlans in spanning tree forwarding state and not pruned
    Fa0/1       1,6,10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100 ...>>>>>>>>>>all vlans are allowed here.
    b)
    Were as on Switch 2 if you create all these vlans and u dont allow that to go through the trunk interface which you have configured those vlans would nt be flowing through.
    eg;
    SW2#sh int tr
    Port        Mode         Encapsulation  Status        Native vlan
    Fa0/1       on           802.1q         trunking      1
    Port        Vlans allowed on trunk
    Fa0/1       1,6,100
    Port        Vlans allowed and active in management domain
    Fa0/1       1,6,100
    Port        Vlans in spanning tree forwarding state and not pruned
    Fa0/1       1,6,100>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.Only 3 vlans would be flowing through due to explicit defined. but if you defined allowed all then all vlans would be shown here.
    i created all the vlans above on sw2 but you can see only 3 vlans are allowd as you have explicitly defined it.
    Hope this clarifies your query.

  • Enable BPDUGuard on Spanning-tree Portfast Trunk Port: Yes or No?

    Hello to all the Cisco Experts,
    I have been searching around to get a confirmed answer as per my subject, but yet unable to come into any conclusion that could help me.
    This is all started when I configured the switchport configuration for my ESXi Server which is a dot1q trunk port. The reference will be as below URL:
    http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1006628
    The configuration of the switchport will be as below:
    interface GigabitEthernet1/0/1
     description ESXi
     switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
     switchport trunk allowed vlan 11,15
     switchport mode trunk
     spanning-tree portfast trunk
    end
    The catch is, I had the bpduguard enabled on the global level in my switch = spanning-tree portfast bpduguard default.
    This will enable the bpduguard on the trunk port above due to the switchport is in portfast (the command: spanning-tree portfast trunk).
    Some of the guys in this forum mentioned that it is not recommended to have bpduguard on trunk port and some mentioned it is okay to have this.
    So, what do you all think on this? Any real life experience dealing with this kind of situtation that can be shared to us over here?
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi Leo,
    First of all, I would never, ever, consider any comment of yours as being offensive so don't worry, none taken. :)
    Enabling portfast on a trunk is so "yesterday", in my opinion.  If a trunk port(s) or an etherchannel is configured correctly, there's a significant chance portfast is irrelevant.  The speed to get the ports to go from down to passing traffic is really boils down to one or two seconds.
    Perhaps this is at the core of our different views. To my best knowledge, without the PortFast, a trunk - be it a single port or an EtherChannel - will become forwarding 30 seconds after entering the up/up state, not less. This is valid for STP, RSTP, and MSTP. In addition, if a new VLAN is created or added to the list of enabled VLANs on the trunk, it may take additional 30 seconds for that VLAN to become operational (forwarding) on that trunk. There is nothing besides PortFast and Proposal/Agreement that can cut down this time: the STP must go over the Listening-Learning-Forwarding sequence, and RSTP/MSTP must go through the Discarding-Learning-Forwarding sequence. The "one or two seconds" you have mentioned is perhaps the combined delay incurred by autonegotiation, LACP/PAgP, and DTP, but STP will take its own time and will not be deterred by any of these mechanisms.
    I see no benefit but mischief when you enable BPDU Guard on an inter-switch link.   
    Absolutely agree. That is why it doesn't make any sense to put a BPDU Guard on an inter-switch link, and I have never suggested doing that. The original post, however, deals with enabling PortFast on a trunk link that does not go to another switch but rather connects to an ESXi server on which, obviously, different virtual machines are bridged onto different VLANs.
    So what is the reaction of the port if you do happen to enable portfast and BPDU guard on an inter-switch link?  Wouldn't the two be a "Jekyll & Hyde", wouldn't it?
    It would be just the same as enabling PortFast and BPDU Guard on an access port that happens to be connected to another switch. Upon link-up, the port would become forwarding immediately, and after receiving a BPDU, it would be shot down to err-disabled. The fact the port is an access port or a trunk port makes no difference here. Just as before, I stress that this kind of configuration simply isn't meant to be used on inter-switch links. However, on trunks connected directly to routers, servers, autonomous APs supporting several SSIDs mapped to different VLANs, even to IP phones (remember the mini-trunk config used on old switches on which the switchport voice vlan command only instructed CDP to advertise the voice VLAN but did not cause the port to accept tagged frames in the voice VLAN so it had to be configured as a trunk?) - in all these situations, the PortFast can be beneficial. The BPDU Guard is a natural protective companion to the PortFast - wherever PortFast is eligible to be configured, the BPDU Guard is a natural additional protection to be activated as well.
    But given the complexity of interconnection of different switches to various stuff going around, we're happy with leaving portfast on a trunk port disabled.
    No argument here - but again, this is about trunks between switches on which I would never suggest using the PortFast or the BPDU Guard. The original post is talking about trunks to end hosts (i.e. edge trunk ports if we extend the terminology a little).
    Best regards,
    Peter

  • New Trunking port Error Disabled on Nexus 5000

    switchport trunk  allowed vlan 8
    speed 1000
    channel-group 7 mode active
    int Po7

    switchport trunk  allowed vlan 8
    switchport mode trunk
    speed 1000

    Port channel 1
    switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
    switchport trunk  allowed vlan 8
    switchport mode trunk
    speed 1000
    Both of these ports are connected Int Eth1000/1/48 and int Gig0/23. Int Eth1000/1/48 shut down and when I checked the logs on the N5K it said for the port   ErrorDisabled REASON BPDUguard. I did not configure bpdufilter or bpduguard on either side. What is causing it?
    I found 3 other ports the have bpdufilter on them  would that be it?
    Since the 3560 is an older switch how can I also ensure it get demoted to not be root bridge or secondary root bridge?

    Hi,
    1- You tried to bundle GE and E interfaces with LACP on both switch but you did not mention the other bundle members, however, it looks the etherchannel did not comes up and interfaces work separately.
    As a result, STP has prevented bridging loop and put one of them in errdisable state. I think you must check your etherchannel configuration.
    2- you can use "spanning-tree vlan <> priority 61400" on 3560 switch to make sure it won't be a root bridge.

  • Report of trunk ports

    Hi
    Is it possible to make a report that list my trunk ports and what switch / interface its on ?
    I have a large network. I know i have lot of switches where trunk interface is in fastethernet ports. I would like to change that and make that all trunk is on gigabit ports. So would be nice to have a list with that. 
    I have tried the report Wired Detailed Device Inventory. Under trunk it says false/true.. But the interface the report says true to is not always true its a trunk port, and vice versa. So cant use that one.
    If its not possible to run a report that do this is it then possible to make a job with cli commands my self ?
    Im thinking that the: sh int status cli command could work. There i can see wich ports are access and trunks. And then a cli command to give me hostname or IP of switch as well.. if i could get that exported to a csv file i could import that to excel and clean it up my self and sort it so i only had trunk ports on fastethernet interfaces.
    Thanks :)

  • Can't apply ALC to trunk port

    Hi,
    I'm trying to configure a Cisco Catalyst 6500 switch to not allow traffic from our traffic generators to go over the trunk link to the rest of the network. Currently I have multiple VLANs that correspond to different lab setups, each having traffic generators on them. The trunk port is used to connect VMs to each of the setups (on different VLANs) but I'm seeing that the traffic generators sometimes flood the trunk link and cause management be unusable.
    I want to configure a port-based ACL to block traffic from the traffic generators from going over the trunk port but I don't see the "ip access-group" command available on this interface.
    Here's the config for my trunk interface:
    CATALYST2#show run int gi1/1
    Building configuration...
    Current configuration : 124 bytes
    interface GigabitEthernet1/1
     switchport
     switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
     switchport mode trunk
     no ip address
    end
    When I go into config mode and try to tie an ACL to the interface, the command isn't available:
    CATALYST2#conf t
    Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
    CATALYST2(config)#int gi1/1
    CATALYST2(config-if)#ip access-group ?
    % Unrecognized command
    Any idea why? I need a way to block this traffic (either via IP or MAC ACLs). My understanding is that trunk ports are able to have port-based ACLs applied to them that will act on all VLANs but I can't seem to do it.  
    Thanks for your help in advance!

    After some more research, I noticed that to configure a PACL on a trunk port, you must first configure port prefer mode. The command to put a trunk port in port prefer mode is "access-group mode prefer port" on the interface. Unfortunately that command isn't available in my CLI either... Still stuck. 

  • OVM 3:Monitor a trunk port/create a dedicated NIC

    Hi,
    I need to monitor a trunk port from within a guest. Does OVM offer the ability to tie a network card directly to a guest? I don't want other guests to have access to the same nic at the same time.

    Understood.
    I have now setup a simple network with bonds/ports only and attached that to the NIC that is connected to the SPAN port on my Cisco switch. This SPAN port mirrors a trunk port and thus carries of course all the VLANs.
    Next, I have setup a guest running ntop and that has a vnic attached to it, that is connected to the new network. Now, when I run tcpdump against that port I am only seeing broadcast and multicast traffic. Is there a way to capture the whole network traffic that is mirrored to the SPAN port?
    I have also taken a look at the network with ports and vans, but that doesn't seem to fit either.

  • Trunk Port for 2950 and 2960G

    Hi Guys,
    I have tried connecting 2 switch using a trunk port in able for VLAN to run on 2950 switch, 2950 and 2960G, but the problem is, it keeps going up and down when I check the logs. The client experienced intermittent network connection by this problem. What seems to be the problem here? I already replaced the cables.
    Here is the config:
    They are connected via cross-cable
    2950:
    Int f0/24 --> 100mbps port
    switchport mode trunk
    2960G:
    Int G0/1 --> 1Gbps port

    *I believe they will auto negotiate their current speed and duplex.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Prime Infrastructure 2.2 - Wired Clients and Trunk Ports

    We have our VMWare ESX hosts connected to our server access switches via trunk ports. Prime doesn't seem to track clients on trunk ports (to avoid showing clients on uplink ports between switches, I'm sure). Since these are not switch-to-switch connections, is there a way to enable Prime to track wired clients on these specific trunk ports so we have MAC/IP client info in Prime for our virtual environment?

    Hi,
    PI discards all the MAC table entries that are on trunk ports for a switch. This enhancement was added from PI 2.1 & later.

  • Trunk port as a destination for SPAN session

    Can we make a trunk port as a destination for SPAN session? If yes, how

    Of course you can. It will be configured the same as an access port:
    monitor session 1 destination int g0/24
    However be aware of the following:
    Destination Port
    Each local SPAN session destination session must have a destination port (also called a monitoring port) that receives a copy of traffic from the source port.
    The destination port has these characteristics:
    •It must reside on the same switch as the source port (for a local SPAN session).
    •It can be any Ethernet physical port.
    •It cannot be a source port or a reflector port.
    •It cannot be an EtherChannel group or a VLAN.
    •It can be a physical port that is assigned to an EtherChannel group, even if the EtherChannel group has been specified as a SPAN source. The port is removed from the group while it is configured as a SPAN destination port.
    •The port does not transmit any traffic except that required for the SPAN session.
    •If ingress traffic forwarding is enabled for a network security device, the destination port forwards traffic at Layer 2.
    •It does not participate in spanning tree while the SPAN session is active.
    •When it is a destination port, it does not participate in any of the Layer 2 protocols (STP, VTP, CDP, DTP, PagP, or LACP).
    •No address learning occurs on the destination port.
    •A destination port receives copies of sent and received traffic for all monitored source ports. If a destination port is oversubscribed, it could become congested. This could affect traffic forwarding on one or more of the source ports.

  • Authenticating Trunk Ports - VLAN list

    I have a requirement to authenticate trunk ports to wireless access-points on our Cisco switch, By default all ports are access ports and we run MAB authentication. I have managed to change the port to a trunk using Cisco-av-pair attribute in ACS (cisco-av-pair = deivce-traffic-class=switch)
    My problem now is that I need to add a VLAN allowed list on the port once it has changed to a trunk port (switchport trunk allowed vlan x,y,z). ideally we would not want to statically assign the VLAN's on each port as an AP could be on any port and may wish to authenticate other trunk ports using different VLAN's in the future. Below is the configuration used on the ports.

  • Catalyst 6500 Block Switching Between Trunk Ports

    Hello all,
    I have a Catalyst 6509-E with SUP2T and a WS-68xx series SFP line card. On this line card I will have 5 trunk connections going to ME3400 4 port access switches. There is one tagged VLAN allowed on all trunk ports and it is the same across them all. I need to have one trunk connection be allowed to switch to all ports within this VLAN and the remaining 3 ports be denied to switch between eachother. The remaining three ports would only be able to switch to the primary trunk port.
    For informational purposes I want to point out that the downstream ME3400 access switches are performing QinQ on each connection so that when the traffic reaches the 6509 it will be double tagged.
    Traditionally I have been able to do this on 12 port ME3400s using the built in UNI/NNI structure and on ME3800/3600 switches using EVCs and the "split-horizon" keyword on the bridge domain. However, the 6500 doesn't seem to support either one of these commands.
    Does anyone have any ideas on how to accomplish this?

    I'm really not all that savvy on private VLANs but I did look at them as an option. Would they be affective on trunk ports? Most config examples I have seen have shown them applied on access ports.

Also when I do a show interfaces trunk, this specific port is not listed as a trunked port. By the way I had to shutdown the port because it was causing issues. It's a redundant link, when enabled I would expect spanning tree to do it's magic, but somehow it does not and instead causes half of our lan to become unreachable. Not sure why.

    in my switch I can not delete it
