VMPS support by 1900, 2950, 2950 switch

Hi,
I do have cisco 5000, 6500, 4500, 1900, 2950, 2960, 3750 switch into my network. I want to have mac based authentication using VMPS.
My query is whether such old switches support vpms client

Yeah... we have those old switches here and vmps works. http://sourceforge.net/projects/vmps Its not under current development but we have it in production without any issues.

  • Does 2950 switch support IP SLA ?

    Hi,
    I am trying to implement IP SLA.
    Can I implement it on layer2 switches?
    Regards
    skrao

    The Cisco 2950 switches seem to suport legacy RTR (Response Time Reporter) NOT IP SLA. SLA has been called various titles during its evolution to SLA. The feature comparison chart below states IP SLA is NOT availalbe on the 2950.
    http://packetlife.net/wiki/feature-comparison-catalyst-2950-2960-3550-3560/
    Indeed I cannot access IP SLA as a cmd  under either 12.1(14)EA1a or 12.1(22)EA13 on the 2950 switches I have available! IP SLA is however available on the 3550 switches I am running!
    I suggest it may well be the case that the 2950s use the RTR command instead.
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_3t/fun/command/reference/cfrgt_10.html
    Information generally though  for RTR is scarce, because I suggest of Search Engine 'bleed' referencing RTR as 'Router'!
    My advice is to explore RTR
    https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2152754
    ...work with what is availalable rather than dwelling on what is not, or choose to revise just the theory...if your need is mostly for exams.
    The good news is ALS1|(config)#RTR responder
    ...reportedly works just as well as #ip sla responder

  • Maintaining clock settings on a 2950 switch?

    I have set up external NTP synchronization on a 2950 switch which works fine while the switch is powered on. However if the switch is cycled with a "reload" command, the time established is way off once the switch comes back up. Is this the expected behaviour?
    Thanks.

    BTW:
    Also sometimes difficult finding mention whether the hardware supports an on-board calendar. I've found using the ntp update-calendar both often a fast method to help in determining this, and a great way to keep the calendar accurate across reboots/reloads (if you're using NTP).

  • Catalyst 2950 Switch flash_init error

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm new to Cisco products and have a small home lab set up. I have a Catalyst 2950 switch that I would like to restore to factory defaults. Here is the issue I'm having and can't figure out.
    I pull the power, telnet into the console port, hold the mode button and restore power. The boot loader (Version 12.1(11r) starts and says the usual message the system was interrupted prior to flash initialization (Paraphrasing here)
    I get to the switch: command line, enter flash_init. Flash states it initialized and then all I get is a < with an underscore under it prompt. Anything I try to type comes up as bizarre characters and I can not get back to a switch: prompt unless I reboot the switch manually. Unsure of what to do here.
    Thanks in advance!

  • Apple wired Dot1X - on Cisco 2950 switches

    Hi, I have an issue with Apple desktop computers running 10.7 and 10.8 MacOS.
    The problem is that we have only 2950 switches and we are very limited with what we can do on them, so we wanted basic DOT1X user authentication and VLAN placement. Those two are working great, except when user logs off, Mac stops sending DOT1X and port becomes unauthenticated. We alleviated that issue by using guest-vlan for failed dot1x authentications, but now we have a problem that once user logs in, there is no session change on 2950 and it doesn’t even try to authenticate user until we bounce the port.
    Is there any way to fix this, on Cisco switch or Mac computer? One of the things that crossed my mind is bouncing port on Mac PC using some kind of logon script?
    Has anyone else had this issue and was able to solve it?
    Thanks.

    Hello Align,
    Cisco 2950 switch with 12.1(9) supports 802.1 x authentications. As you are saying that you already configured 802.1x authentication and its working fine. I think there is problem with your MAC OS configuration. Please follow the below link to configure 802.1x on Apple.

  • Any possibility of upgrading 2950 switch IOS

    Hi,
    I would like to know if possible to upgrade my cisco 2950 switch IOS from Standard to Enhanced Image, As I notice from some one that it comes standard box with no uograde capabilities.
    Is that means as hardware upgrade or IOS Image Upgrade?
    Ankur : u have helped me before but I am still confused.
    thanks,

    The ability to run either the SI or EI features on the 2950 is hardware dependant. If you have a look at the release notes for the latest IOS there is a table about 2 pages in detailing the various 2950's available and whether they run the SI or EI features.
    The actual IOS software image is the same for both the EI & SI switches but only the EI features are available on the platforms that support it.
    The 2950-12, 2950-24, 2950SX-24, 2950SX-48-SI and 2950T-48-SI only have the SI features, it looks like all the others run the EI.

  • RARP Server for Catalyst 2950 Switch

    Is there a RARP Server capability for the Cisco Catalyst 2950 Switch? I know that Cisco Routers support an "ip rarp-server" command. Do Cisco Switches support RARP?

    To the best of my knowledge, the RARP protocol is working with cisco 2950 switch and also it supports in most of the cisco products.

  • Trunk two 2950 switches

    Can ANYONE instruct me on trunking two 2950 switches. Help!!

    Hello,
    basically, configure both interfaces you use for the trunk as following:
    interface FastEthernet0/15
    switchport mode trunk
    The 2950 supports 802.1Q trunking only, so this is the only command you need.
    This is a basic config, check this link for more optional features:

  • SNMP on Catalyst 2950 switch - possible?

    How can I add SNMP to my Catalyst 2950 switch? and what will this give me with regards to network monitoring etc. A lot of my networks go through this device and I what to get stats on port etc. I really hope you can help here.

    Hi Chandru,
    Here's what you should do. Firstly, go to the following site which will give you a list of MIBs supported on the 2950:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps628/products_configuration_guide_chapter09186a00800d84cc.html
    Then, open up the Cisco SNMP Object Navigator at:
    http://tools.cisco.com/Support/SNMP/do/BrowseOID.do?local=en
    Within that, click on 'View and Download MIBs' and then select the MIBs you are interested in to download/view them.
    As an example, you can get counters on memory pools from the CISCO-MEMORY-POOL-MIB
    Hope that helps - pls rate the post if it does.

  • Connecting a 2950 Switch to an existing small network

    Wondering what's the best way to connect a 2950 Switch to an existing small network. It consists of a few computers on just basic old Linksys switches, but there's only 1 network cable going to the back room, where we have several computers that need to access the internet. I've had a spare 2950 kicking around (RMA from a customer, all ports work but a good bunch of them do not light for some reason) that I'd like to just connect to the existing network line in the back room and have it piggyback essentially so all the machines in the back room can have internet access.
    I'm just wondering how I should go about wiring and setting up this switch to work properly, as it's been awhile since I've done this, and the last time I did, it was with the ancient 1900 series switches :).
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hello,
    basically, it depends on if you have different VLANs implemented in your current network or not. If not, you could just connect the 2950 to one of the Linksys switches, using a crossover cable. The default VLAN for all ports on the 2950 is VLAN 1, so all you have to do is plug your computers into the (working) ports of the 2950, without configurung anything else.

  • Application timeouts w/ subnet devices using 2950 switching

    I am having problems with process critical PC workstations that access other workstations and servers.
    This consists of a standalone subnet network (static IP's) using a 2950 switch that is also part of a LAN domain.
    It appears when there is a LAN issue my subnet workstations experiences problems trying to access it's dedicated servers that are wired all within the subnet 2950 switch.
    Could this be that the 2950 switch is looking for the DCHP or domain controller, slowing down my standalone devices?

    No, it's not likely.
    The only thing affected by DHCP or domain info would be for managemnt (like being able to telnet into the switch).
    Switches see the frame, look at the MACs, and either forward or flood the frame. That's all they do (acting as yer basic plain ol' switch).
    Other features, such as broadcast/storm control, bad media (cabling), excessive broadcasts (broadcasts are also propagated out all ports and consume considerable bandwidth everywhere), and other things, like QOS settings, buffer parameters, spanning tree can also have a serious negative impact on your throughput, including many disappearing frames.
    SO ... let's start by taking a look at a Show Version, and (at least) a Show Run (sanitized, if necessary).
    It would also help if you could describe the nature of the traffic that is being dropped / lost / filtered (i,e., database, large graphics files, multicast streaming, file transfers, etc.
    What troubleshooting have you tried so far?
    Did it ever work, worked ... but not very well, worked well until you updated the IOS ....
    Have you checked your LAN for virus / worm / trojan traffic (getting back to huge broadcasts)?
    Are you getting any media errors? (Show interface)
    Do you run many-to-one, many-to-many, any trunks? any EtherChannel?
    Are you getting any "Duplex Mismatch" errors?
    Have you tried another switch (for diagnostics to rule out the workstations & media)?
    This ought to be enough to get started. get it collected and post it, then we can take another shot at it.
    Good Luck

  • Can't open console to 2950 switch

    Howdy all,
    I'm after inheriting a cisco 2950 switch in my new job and I do not know the enable password for it. I went about following the "password recovery procedure" but am getting nowhere.
    http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/474/pswdrec_2500.html
    I have tried connecting to the switch after powering it up but cannot open a session over the console port. I've tried using both COM ports on my laptop with all the variations of the flow control setting but no joy.
    I took a look at an old config file that was saved on the network for the switch and found this at the end:
    LINE CON 0
    TRANSPORT INPUT NONE
    Is this stopping me from completing the password reset when the switch is booting up??? All advice welcomed.
    Regards,
    PaddyIrishman

  • Duplex Mismatch when connecting ip phone with 2950 switch

     When I connect my Cisco IP Phone 7960 with 2950 Switch (any access port within voice vlan), I get the message on Port duplex mismatch but the phone works properly.
     From my switch the speed setting is 100/Full but from the Phone its Auto.
     My Question is when I try to change duplex settings from Phone, it doesn't gives me any option instead only one option available to save so kindly someone tell me the best way to fix this from Phone or do I have to change the duplex from switch to AUTO ?

    Thanks but When I connect with my Cisco 2950 Switch, I can see the weird kind of language as per my attachment.
    It wasn't yesterday when I first configured from scratch but just seen today.
     Switch is working good with Cisco IP phone connected with it.

  • Some 2950 switch ports led turn amber even without cable connection

    Hello. Due to a likely NIC problem, after connecting my laptop to a port on the 2950 switch, the led turns amber even after disconnecting the cable.
    2 ports on the switch are having this problems. Ideally the led should be off when nothing is connected.
    Please, how can I correct this problem without restarting the switch because its in a production environment.
    Eddy

    Hello,
    which two switchports are amber? Try toggling the port LED modes by pressing the mode button.
    Have a look at
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps628/products_installation_guide_chapter09186a008007e889.html#xtocid41699
    for the different port modes meanings and their respective usage of port LEDs.
    It would also be helpful to see the port status from the switch CLI in case the procedure above didn´t solve the problem.
    Hope this helps
