Use of Gigabit ports on C2960-24TT-L

The two 10/100/1000 ports on the switch are identified as Base-T copper uplink ports. We have a small office with a single server and 15 work stations. Can I use one of the "uplink" ports with the server or are they restricted to connecting to another switch.

Robert,
Yes, you can use the 10/100/1000 ports to connect to your server. These ports have no restrictions.
HTH,

  • Use one IPS port to create tunnel to two remote MDS switches?

    is it possible to use one gigabit port on MDS IPS 14+2 linecard to create FCIP tunnels between two other remote MDS switches?
    each tunnel will  allow a different VSAN. this is kindda crude but gotta do it, if it can be done

    yes it can be done, make 1 FCIP profile defining the Ip address of the GE interface.  Then create 2 different FCIP interfaces ( tunnels )  each one will use the same profile, but have different peers.

  • No switch health or port utilization info displayed c2960-24tt device manager

    Hi there, I have a WS-C2960-24TT-L. running 12.2(58)SE2
    When I connect to this switch's Cisco Device Manager web interface, the "bandwidth used" and "Packet error" both show 0%, and no information appears in the port utilization graph.
    The temperature and fan indicators appear to work. The page auto-refreshes. Switchports change color as expected (i.e. go dark when disconnected). I have left the browser open for a reasonable period of time (i.e. over the lunch hour). Other items such as the table of port statistics show up as expected. I am using a secure session. I have tried both Firefox 27.0.1 and Internet Explorer 9.0.25 and see the same result in both browsers.
    I am thinking I need to configure something in the switch to enable this information to appear.
    Thanks for your suggestions!

    Well, yes, but it would be nice to have the graphic summary.

  • Using 2 gigabit switches on Airport Extreme N

    I'm really trying to work around the 10/100 LAN ports of the AEn and am using a Gigabit switch in order to allow my GigE Mac Pro, Intel Mac Mini, Macbook and ReadyNAS NV connections to each other (thus maxminizing network transfer speeds).
    The problem is I have the ReadyNAS in another room (noise) plus needed to run more wired Ethernet to an Xbox 360. In order to save multiple cable runs, this is how I'm set up:
    [ Airport Extreme ] in the office
    LAN port hooked to Netgear GigE switch
    |
    |
    [Netgear 8 port GigE switch GS108] in the office
    ports hooked to:
    - Mac Pro
    - Intel Mac Mini
    - MacBook
    - cable through office wall to laundry room, connected to Dlink 5 port GigE switch
    |
    == wall to laundry room ====
    |
    [Dlink 5 port GigE DGS-1005D] in laundry room
    - ReadyNAS NV
    - Another server Dell PC
    - Xbox 360 (via cable through another wall to gym)
    Questions:
    Does this configuration make each GigE capabale device send data to others at GigE speeds (eg. MacPro to ReadyNAS, MacPro to Mac Mini, etc)?
    Is there any latency or collisions caused by this configuration? I just seems to me that the ReadyNAS works much slower when hooked to the other switch vs directly to the Linksys switch but I don't have a formal testing program. Note both switches report they are Jumbo frame compatable and all gigE devices are lighting up as GigE on the switches, and all are connected with cat5e cable.
    Thanks...

    Does this configuration make each GigE
    capabale device send data to others at GigE speeds
    (eg. MacPro to ReadyNAS, MacPro to Mac Mini,
    etc)?
    Yes, they are all Gigabit, but if you have multiple transfers going on at once, you are limited to the speed of the backplane of the switch.
    Is
    there any latency or collisions caused by this
    configuration?
    Prehaps a crossover cable between the switches would help. In the old days you would have had to do that, but the ports are now figuring it out on their own. It might just be more efficent go by a crossover cable (looks just like a ethernet cable but has one of the internal pairs crossed, I think- that's the idea anyway.)

  • Hub 3a Gigabit port

    Hi all,
    BT Infinity users since July 11, HH3a - no real issues to report until now.
    Is it a known issue for the Gigabit port to keep falling over to 100M or perhaps even 10M !! I don't know if the 10/100 Ports are okay as they're not used in anger every day.
    It's happening more and more now - thought is was my Gigabit switch but the replacement of the Hub 3 with a Linksys product proves reliable - but I have other issues with the Linksys product, which means I'd prefer to get the HH3 working.
    Anyone got any advice for a newbie ?
    TIA
    Dave

    Yes, wait.
    It's a known issue with certain hub3a's though BT have been unable to replicate this on their own test hubs.
    (from a conversation with a BT employee) - BT have issued some hub3a's to a select few and these customers are testing a new hub firmware to hopefully resolve this. I'm not permitted to say what the firmware version will be, but I have also had confirmation of the firmware version from another source.

  • HT4260 Is it best to place a 5-port switch upstream of the bridges, or, use the 3-port switch built into the bridge?

    One airport extreme as DHCP server, two more as bridges, using Ethernet,

    As long as you use a Gigabit Ethernet switch, you can install the device literally anywhere you want downstream of the main AirPort Extreme router if you need more ports for Ethernet devices. Otherwise, use the Gigabit Ethernet switch that is built into the AirPort Extreme to keep things simple and minimize the extra connections that would be required using an outboard switch.
    Be sure to use CAT5e or CAT6 Ethernet cabling throughout the network.

  • What cable type for connecting with gigabit port

    What kind of lan cable that I should use for connecting with gigabit port from Time Capsule to get the fastest transfer rate. And what is the maximum rate MB/sec that could be?

    You can use CAT5 or CAT6.
    max transfer rate is:
    Fast Ethernet has a theoretical speed of 100 Mbits/sec (12 MB/sec), while Gigabit Ethernet has a theoretical speed of 1000 Mbits/sec (120 MB/sec). That suggests a double speed advantage of Gigabit Ethernet over USB (60 MB/sec), but neither protocol hits its maximum. In reality, a typical USB connected disk is roughly equal to or lesser than the throughput of a shared drive attached over a Gigabit Ethernet network.
    Over wireless network:
    - 802.11b has a theoretical speed maximum of 11 Mbits/sec with a typical transfer rate of around 4.5 Mbits/sec (0.5 MB/sec) with an ideal signal.
    - 802.11g has a theoretical speed maximum of 54 Mbits/sec, with a typical transfer rate of around 23 Mbits/sec (2.5 MB/sec) with an ideal signal.
    - 802.11n has a theoretical speed maximum of 300 Mbits/sec, with a typical transfer rate of around 74 Mbits/sec (9.25 MB/sec) with an ideal signal.

  • 4402 Controller, the Gigabit Port is 10/100/1000TX?

    Hi, its is a simple question,
    The gigabit port of 4402 port is 10/100/1000TX ou just 1000TX ?
    TIA

    Only 1000base is supported. You can use both TX or FX SFPs. Regards, Michael

  • Xbox 360 + Gigabit port?

    Currently my Xbox is connected to a standard port via ethernet.
    Would it make a difference if I connected it to the Gigabit port?
    I stream movies from my laptop to the Xbox but that's wireless anyway.

    No, its the wireless link that's slowing it down. Its best to connect the laptop directly to an Ethernet port.

  • Gigabit port 0 ping?

    Hi everyone!
    Im getting an ethernet cable for my laptop because wireless is... well lets just say ive had problems.
    I have done a speed test with all the ethernet ports, ethernet ports 1,2,3 say im getting 8-10ms ping but when i test it with gigabit port it always says i have 0 ping. is 0 ping possible? theres not an error is there or anything wrong with the port? thanks

    i would suggest you try using the port and see if you have any problems

  • Home Hub 3 Gigabit Port/Ethernet 4 Not Working

    Just before christmas time the gigabit ethernet port on my home hub 3 stopped working.
    I tried other cables and there is no connection whatsoever between the gigabit port and other devices, but the other three ethernet ports work fine?
    I had it so a cable went from the gigabit port to a gigabit switch which then distributes around the house.
    Obviously i'm now using the standard 10/100 ports on the home hub 3 which is fine as the only wireless devices (which would go through the gigabit to the home server) is a laptop.
    I was just wondering what would cause this single port to stop working, and if there is a possible fix or if i need to get a replacement hub?
    Cheers.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Try a factory reset of the home hub 3, and if it still does not work, all you can do is ring the helpdesk, and ask for a replacement.

  • Time Capsule Gigabit Ports operating at 100 Mbps (no 1000 Mbps speed)

    Hello!
    I'm a Verizon Fios user and recently upgraded to Quantum (150 Mbps up/65 down).
    My network:
    Verizon modem/router with gigabit Ethernet wired to WAN port on TC (3rd Gen).
    Multiple AEX extending the network throughout the house
    VZ router is the DHCP controller, TC set to bridge mode
    For some reason, the port controller on the VZ router is only working at 100 Mbps for whatever port is connected to the TC. I'm certain my TC has gigabit ports (as advertised--they all do, right?) and therefore can't figure out why I can't get the two pieces to operate at gigabit speed (for reference, the VZ modem has indicator lights for 10/100/1000 speeds and the same information is displayed in the router settings).
    The VZ configuration page allows me to manually select port speeds (10 half/full duplex, 100 half/full, 1000 full) or allow it to AUTO select. On auto, the port reports 100 Mbps full duplex with the TC. I tried manually selecting 1000 full duplex, at which point the port goes dark (for lack of a better term--no lights, no activity between the two).
    I'm certain the gigabit functionality exists on the VZ router side: if I plug in my early 2011 MB Pro directly to the port, I get gigabit speeds. I've also tried wiring from VZ router to TC LAN port, with the same result.
    Definitely frustrating: my wired connections are artificially reducing throughput for wireless! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated: is there a setting I'm missing in Airport Utility?
    Thanks!!

    Hi Gus
    Let me just clarify the above statement.. wiring VZ to the TC LAN port got the same result as the WAN port.. that is how I am guessing you mean it. Not the same result as the MBP.. which worked fine.. !!
    I do have an answer to slow ethernet speed but it is not a setting in the TC.. TC lacks most settings or control.. although I would do a factory reset just to be sure. You can also run it in double NAT for a test. The WAN port does have speed controls.. but you can only get to them from v5 utility..
    That would be worthwhile to check.. I know you don't want double NAT but it is just to see what happens.
    Otherwise your Gen3 A1355 is suffering capacitor deterioration on the 1.8v line.
    I did fix it on one TC.. it is a rare problem. Normally the caps just die.
    https://sites.google.com/site/lapastenague/a-deconstruction-of-routers-and-modem s/apple-time-capsule-repair/new-issue-with-a1355-gen-3-tc
    I fixed it by soldering a standard low ESR capacitor to the supply..
    Test the TC cold, as the ethernet seemed to work ok until it heated up.
    Good luck with that one.
    How to load 5.6 into ML.
    1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
    2. Download and install unpkg.
    http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
    You cannot uninstall 6.1 (now 6.2 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.

  • What steps are needed to untag default vlan to gigabit port on SRW208P

    We have VLAN 1 disabled on our standard Cisco Catalyst switches and use VLAN 11 as our default.  We have recently added VLAN 221 for voice while implementing a new Cisco UC system.  I can't seem to disable VLAN1, however, I have made the default VLAN 11 and Voice VLAN 221.  In VLAN Management, I can untag VLAN 11 (PVID) on all ports but the Gigabit port connecting to the Cisco 6506.  That port always tags VLAN 11 & 221 and untag (PVID) VLAN 1. 
    I have tried making changes to the switch while connected to the switch and when I make the setting, the switch loses connection to the 6506.  If I make the appropriate changes to GI(1) while connected to GI(2), that change takes effect, however, when I move the patch cable to GI(1), the port configuration changes and VLAN 11 becomes tagged and VLAN1 becomes untagged. 
    What is needed to stop this from happening? 

    Hi, I do not support the UC500 model so I can only give information to the switch. The older ESW, SX300 and SX500 series were designed to plug and play to the UC300/500 series for basically zero configuration.
    To my knowledge (which I can be very wrong!!!!!) The UC500 uses vlan 1 data, vlan 100 by default and it usually doesn't deviate this.
    You may disable the smart port and auto voice vlan features, yes. However, this means you need to manually configure your ports or use the telephony OUI features.
    I can outline how to disable the smart port and avoid using auto voice vlan, however, it would be most prudent for you to call the UC500 support to 100% ensure there is not a better way to manage via way of the UC platform.
    If you could please call the SBSC and verify there is nothing better to be done then I would be happy to further assist

  • Using a serial port via kermit and a USB adapter

    I have need to use a USB->Serial adapter for connecting to console ports (Firewalls, etc). I bought a nice Keyspan adapter for this.
    First, I've not been able to find a version of kermit that will work on Snow Leopard. Anyone have an updated version?
    Second, which device do we use for "set port /dev/ttyXXX" ? Is there some novel way that the system tells you which tty is mapped to which port?
    I'm sure there must be more to it... there is a disc with these USB devices for OS X (though I'm not sure they'll work in Snow Leopard).
    Thanks!

    Take a look at GoSerial http://www.furrysoft.de/?page=goserial it configures the port and acts as a terminal. There is also the screen command in the terminal, and minicom you can get though macports.
