VLANS ISSUE on Cisco switches

Hi,
We have WS-C4507R+E switch and WS-C2960X-24PS-L and we configured VLANs and VTP on 4507 switch we connected 2960X switch on 2960 we configured VTP vlan are communicated on 2960 switch.
Vlan details :38,40.41.42,43,and 44
4507 switch ip 192.168.38.1
2960 switch ip 192.168.38.2
Ip phone ip 192.168.44.2
Server ip 192.168.44.3
all vlan s are communication is running on both switches only data. On 2960X POE switch ip phone given ip 192.168.44.2 we are unable to ping ip 192.168.44.2 from other vlans we able to ping server ip 192.168.44.3 ip any configuration required on ip phone suggest me.

Hi,
Thanks for your replay
We have 2 routers in this scenario
1st router ip address 192.168.38.1 MPLS Router ,Second 192.168.38.3 2911 V K9 4507 switch ip 192.168.38.2 and 2960X poe switch ip 192.168.38.27

ARP issue on Cisco Switch

Hello everyone
We are having some strange arp issues in one vlan. Suddenly, some devices (not all of them) from vlan 1 are not able to ping vlan 2. Interface vlans are located on different switches and I have to manually clear arp in vlan 1 to make computers ping each other between vlans.
We have set arp timeout command in vlan 1 but it does not help until I manually clear it
What can be the reason?
Thank you

Hmm, have you:
1. Configured Root guard on all of your root bridge's ports?
2. Confirmed that ports set at portfast have pbduguard enabled
3. Use show and debug commands to make sure that TCNs are not happening for the affected VLANs
4. What model switches do you have and what is the version of code are they are running
Thank you for rating helpful posts!

ARD and Cisco switches (multicast storm issue)?

We had Cisco bring in an engineer to look into our problem where ARD stalls/fails to push packages or pull reports (etc.). We never have a problem remotely controlling computers.
They told us "Multicast" needs to be on at every switch that has Macs connected. In one environment all Macs are on the 10.100.9.xx subnet, and Macs are at different locations. All the switches these dot-9 subnet Macs are connected to need "Multicast" turned on.
I've read numerous threads regarding how Macs drift in and out and ARD is not able to do what it's advertised to do. Has anyone run into this issue where Cisco switch configuration caused ARD to not perform properly?
I will summarize once Cisco resolves the issue. They're due in for another test or two before we can make the necessary switch adjustments.
Thanks,
Don

I have 3COM switches and they appear to be performing as your CISCOs are. I have computers drift in and out all day as well as my task server not responding to input at all. When trying to browse the LAN for computers, I don't receive any information regarding my computers, or I only get 5 out of 2100. I will talk with my Network Administrator and find out if Multicast is turned on. I have sent Apple 300 crash reports over the past 3 months, but have not received any word on a fix for ARD issues.

DACL does not get downloaded to Cisco Switch from ISE

Hello,
I have a cisco switch with ios: c3550-ipbasek9-mz.122-44.SE6.bin
I am trying to push dACL fro my ISE device into the switch, but it is not getting applied to switch.   dynamic vlan assignment workds fine, but dACL doesnot apply
Any instruction plz?

Hi Jatin,
ISE is properly configured for dACL,   i think there is some compatibility issue on cisco switch ios.
following is the debug output>>

Cisco Transparent firewall and cisco switch issues.

Dears,
I have a very plain scenario
LAN cisco switch <2 vlans> ----------> cisco transparent firwall with bvi interface ------------> crypto box ---------> cisco router ------ <remote/other site>
i have vlan 61 configured on bvi interface of firewall, crypto box and also on the switch port and vlan of 61 is up up .
The issue is i can connect remotely to cisco transparent firewall but cannot ping or connect to cisco switch. ???????????
Need to know some trobuleshooting tips and basic settings that i need to verify. I simply want lan switch with 2 vlans to pass through the cisco transparent firewall and go to other site/remote site.

Well,
i have put the inspection icmp turned on for the sessions , and the version i am using is 9.1
moreover, i have put u p the ACLs for inbound and outboudn traffic, and while i ping across the firewall from the inside interface towards outside interface PC, i can see packet counts increasing on the acl , during the show access-llist command.
i have requested the client to verify his part. do let me know further tips if you have any.
[ moreover we cannot try to use packet-tracer from cli in transparent mode ]

How to search/Scan Vlan of cisco switch ports

Can any one tell me how i can scan/search vlans of cisco switch port through any monitoring tool (orion/solarwinds).
Consider this scenario as i have no access to switch and i want to know below things:
1-Vlans created on switch?
2-which switch port belongs to which vlan id?
Thanks

Hi,
You can do it only with hub in between and also please note that when sniffing with Wireshark on Windows the OS would remove VLAN tag so you may need to use Linux machine.

Aleksandra

Creating a private/isolated vlan on Cisco switch

Hello
I have many Cisco switches 65xx, 37xx at my company with a lot of vlans already configured. I need to create a new isolation vlan that will not be able to communicate with my other existing vlans. We are setting up a NAC solution at my company and we want a vlan that we can send ports to if the computer or device is compromised and cannot talk or risk the existing network (other vlans). What is the best method to make this happen?
I have created VLANs in the past but this is my first dealing with private/isolated vlans and would be grateful for any guidance on how I should implement this.

So are you saying I should just create a new L2 vlan and not configure the vlan interface (which is at L3) for this new vlan so I cannot communicate with any of my existing vlans therefore isolating the new vlan?
Yes, without an SVI clients in that vlan cannot communicate with anything outside that vlan.
The only thing that wasn't clear was whether these clients should still be able to access the internet even though they couldn't talk to any other internal vlans. If they did need the internet, or any other remote network, then you would need an SVI but it sounds as though you don't want any external communication for these clients ?

Passing Voice VLAN through a non-Cisco switch

Hi All,
Will a non-Cisco switch (no 802.1q support) that is putted beetween Cisco IP Telephone and Cisco Catalyst switch (which is configured with auxilary Voice Vlan) pass voice vlan frames and CDP?

Any switch should pass on either ISL(which is cisco properitary and hence not supported on non-Cisco) or IEEE 802.1Q frames or else it cannot support voice vlan support . And non-Cisco switches do not support CDP as it is once again Cisco proprietary protocol.

TCP reset packet issue on Cisco 6509 switch

Hi,
We are connecting a malware prevention appliance to a SPAN port on cisco switch 6509 which uses IOS firmware.
When the Malware appliance send TCP RST packet to the switch, it does not accept it.
Please help with what additional config to be done on the switch or the span sport so that the packet is received by the switch.

No sure if 6500 supports the feature, but 3750 does:
monitor session destination int f0/1 ingress vlan 100
This last part allows SPAN port to send traffic into VLAN 100 (more details here -

LAG configuration issue on Cisco SG300 52 Switch

Hi everybody,
I am having an issue with LAG configuration on a Cisco SG300 52 switch. I have connected four Ge ports on the switch to the four NICs of a Dell R710 Server on which I installed Windows Server 2008 R2. Without LAG configured, these ports would forward traffic to and from the Dell server fine. However, if I configure LAG on the ports with LACP enabled, then they would not forward any network traffic. Debugging shows that the ports are up but their forwarding status show N/A. Am I missing any configuration? Can I configure LAG on edgeports? Or is there any compatibility issue?
Any help from you guys will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Vishal

Hi Dave,
Thank you for your quick response and sorry to have looked at it late. Well, I already resolved the issue and like you pointed out, it was the configuration of the Dell NICs. I had to configure NIC teaming and there was a bug with the Broadcom NIC management software. I had to download this piece of software again and I was then able to configure NIC teaming on it. I initially thought that it was already configured because we got the Dell server "pre-installed with pretty much everything".
Anyway thank you for your assistance. Oh I have a question though if you don't mind clearing my doubt. We have bought 7 of these SG300 Switches and I would like to use all of them
in a hierarchical design as core, distribution and access layer switches because I believe this switch has got all the qualities to be used at all the three layers. We have about 100 users in our company at the moment but expecting growth of about 10-20 employees per year. Would you think a hierarchical network design for a 100 users is a bit of an overkill? Would you think these SG300 switches can handle network traffic at the distribution and core layers? I worked out the average daily traffic is only about 4 Mbps.
Thank you for your valuable guidance.
Kind regards,
Vishal

Hi Chundunsing,
Thank you for the purchase of my switch.
Chundunsing, I love the way you worded your question ; "I am having an issue with LAG configuration on a Cisco SG300 52 switch." ,but seriously you are having a problem with interfacing the dell with my switch.
You have LAG working to the Dell R710 teamed NICs and god knows what NICs or drivers you are using to acheive this.
Now LAG is providing , load balancing between the LAG ports.
Now LAG is providing , link redundancy for connectibity to the Dell R710.
If there is a configuration issue , it sure seems the way you have it configured without LACP is still working. But you have the option when you create a LAP group to enable LACP. You can see this as a tick box in the LAG group.
But might i also install, recently firmware version 1.1.1.8, just came out.
Please be sure to;
Step 1. update the firmware on the switch and
Step 2. select it as the 'active image.'
Step 3 rebbot the switch to utilize this active image.
If you are having any trouble doing this the admin guide references how to achieve this. for your concenience I have atteched the guide to this posting.
regards Dave

VLAN between two Cisco 300 switches

Is it possible to share a VLAN between two Cisco 300 series switches?

Make sure that your port 27 is NOT configured as an access port - it should be a trunk (that's the default). I believe the setting is under VLAN Management > Interface settings.
Also ensure you are setup to tag frames (under the "Port to VLAN" settings).

Configuring VLANs on Cisco switches - help on basics please!

Hi people.
I'm buying Cisco switches to my home lab to practice VLAN and have some doubts, would someone kindly help me?
I'm thinking of buying two 300 series switches for the servers (VMware boxes), configure two separate VLANs for VMs and two other VLANs for desktop computers, in order to simulate a small office with a datacenter and two floors (one VLAN for each floor).
I presume that the connection between each floor switch and the 300 series core switch will be via trunk mode on both, not access port mode, is that correct?
Another question: for the desktop switches, the ports that are going to connect to the desktops (which runs windows with non-vlan tagging aware nic), will be configured with the correct VLAN, and the operating system will just communicate normally as if there was no VLAN tag on the frames?
Since I need inter-vlan routing only on the core switch (the 300 series), for the desktops switches I can purchase some 200 series, right?
And the last question: presuming that I configure a third VLAN and add a third floor switch, but this time a 100 series switch that is not VLAN capable, so connecting this switch to the 300 switch, will it work, or not?
Thank you!

Hi! Thanks for the rapid answers!
I have a couple more based on the same questions:
I presume that the connection between each floor switch and the 300 series core switch will be via trunk mode on both, not access port mode, is that correct? - Yes, trunk links are required to carry multiple vlans.
So, I could also use multiple links with LAG/LACP carrying all vlans between switches?
And the last question: presuming that I configure a third VLAN and add a third floor switch, but this time a 100 series switch that is not VLAN capable, so connecting this switch to the 300 switch, will it work, or not? - Yes, bit make sure that link between these two switches should be an access link, i.e must carry only third vlan.
So, If I understand correctly, if having one vlan per floor in an office building, for economical reasons you could deploy simple non-managed and non-vlan capable switches, and in the data center, a core switch with the vlans configured for each floor?
And viewing from a technical perspective, what would be the advantages of deploying in each floor a vlan capable switch configured with the correct vlan?
And which method mentioned above is more common deployed for endpoint floor switches?
Thanks!

3com and cisco switches (802.1q)vlan integration problem - broadcast storm?

Hi forum,
we are using 3com switches, the 3com switches implement open vlans, which mean if an ieee 802.1q packet is received at a port and the port is not a member of that vlan, the switch does not perform vlan filtering. if the address is previously learned, it will be forwarded correctly, but if it is not, it will be flooded to all ports within that VLAN.
my questions:
1) if another cisco switch connected with the 3com switch are placed in the same vlan, and the 3com switch received a 802.1q packet from a rogue device, it will be flooded to all the ports(including the cisco ports) within that VLANs, will it cause a broadcast storm?
2) how do i configure the cisco switch to filter off unknown tagged packet on a port? by using vlan prunning?
3) how do i blocked the broadcast from the 3com switches? using broadcast suppression?
4) is there a way on the design side to effectly counter this problem?
Kind regards,
paul

It sounds like setup of your 3com switch is not quite up to your requirements. If a port is declared as tagged, it's ok to receive tagged frames for VLAN's that were not previously known on this port. However if your policy requires that only specific VLAN's are permitted on given tagged port, then you need to add some extra command on your 3com switch. Check with documentation and possibly with your 3com support partner.
As for cisco routers, tagged ports in Cisco-speach are trunks (this might be confusing for you as 3com calls trunks what in Cisco world is known as either Etherchannel or port aggregation). By default a trunk (tagged) port allows any VLAN. If your policy requires so, you can explicitly specify which VLAN's are allowed on given trunk (tagged) port. If a frame arrives with a tag that is not on the allowed list, the frame will be discarded. So you don't need any fancy broadcast supression to block traffic from disallowed vlans coming from your 3com switch to cisco.
P.S.: Make sure that you don't mistake 'member of VLAN' with 'native VLAN'. Some parts of your message suggest that you do.

VLAN trunking from Cisco Catalyst 3750 to Cisco SF300-48P issue and related

Hello expert,
I'm having difficulties to configure VLAN trunking between Cisco Catalyst 3750 switch with Cisco SF300-48P switch and my workstation unable to get any DHCP IP from our DHCP server via Cisco SF300-48P switch. Below is the snippet of configuration on both switches:
[Cisco Catalyst 3750 Switch]
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/45
description NCC-CC-1stFlr
no switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
no switchport trunk allowed vlan 101-103
spanning-tree portfast
[Cisco SF300-48P Switch]
interface fastethernet48
spanning-tree link-type point-to-point
switchport trunk allowed vlan add 101-103
macro description switch
!next command is internal.
macro auto smartport dynamic_type switch
interface fastethernet29
switchport mode general
switchport general allowed vlan add 103 tagged
switchport general pvid 103
Are these are correct? Kindly advice!
Thank you very much!
Regards,
Alex

Hi Alex,
for the trunk port on Catalyst on port GE 1/0/45, we need to enable the trunk and for on encapsulation dot1q because this catalyst model is ISL capable also and the SF300 working only with Dot1q Encapsultion
The configuration on catalyst should :
#config terminal
#interface Gi 1/0/45
# switchport encapsulation
#switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
#switchport mode trunk
#switchport trunk allowed vlan 101-103
#spanning-tree portfast
For SF300 the port trunk it looks fine but for the port where the PC should receive an IP address
#interface fastethernet29
#switchport mode access
#switchport ccess vlan 103
Please let me know after this configuration
Thanks

How to get info over snmp on cisco switch whether native vlan on a port is tagged or not?

Hi!
I want to know which oid(s) should I query to know whether native vlan on trunk port on cisco switch is tagged or not?
I am querying the oid .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.46.1.6.3.0 (vlanTrunkPortsDot1qTag) on cisco 3560 (E Series) and I am getting global value. Also, this OID is showing as deprecated. So I query .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.246.1.6 (cltcDot1qAllTagged) and its subtree, but no value is returned.
Switch Version is
Cisco IOS Software, C3560E Software (C3560E-UNIVERSALK9-M), Version 12.2(50)SE2

Keep in mind that DHCP is a broadcast packet to start. So the AP can only listen in the subnet that it has an IP address for.
Now, for any other subnet you can use the AP for DHCP but you have to have an IP helper address on your L3 pointing back to the AP.
That being said, I wouldn't use the DHCP server on the AP as it is limited. You'd be better off using a Microsoft server or some other device that is designed for DHCP.
