VPLS on Same Line Card

Hi dear all
Can the ES+ line card be Edge-facing and Core-facing at the same time on RSP-7609-S like the below diagram ?
i know that there is restriction on IOS XR, but i can't find any thing on IOS.
i want to know that the below case support the VPLS or not?
we want to use MPLS/VPN and VPLS at same time.
i would be appreciated if give me the reference for that.
Thank you

Hi Amir,
yes ES+ can be both core and customer (edge) facing card at the same time (even if the 2 links are on the same LC); actually there are some cases where ES+ MUST be both core and customer facing such as H-VPLS with MPLS access.
In general for all VPLS flavours you need a ES+ card (or any other card performing label imposition such as SIP-400, SIP-600, ES20, OSM) facing the core. Then depending the type of access you want to configure you have a choice of customer facing LC. i.e: any PFC based LC for basic VPLS up to ES+ (or the other mentioned above) for H-VPLS with MPLS access.
You find this (inderectly documented) on this page:

  • High response time on one line card in Cisco 6513 Catalyst Switch

    I am facing a wierd issue with one of the line card in the Cisco 6513 switch. All the servers, desktops and trunks connected to this line card are showing high response time (>500ms) locally. But those IP phones connected to the same line card is working fine and the repsonse time is always 1ms. I am unable to find any root cause as i am not seeing any errors or logs, please help me to fidn the root cause.
    Anyway i ahve a plan to reboot the line card and test it, but i am just looking for a fix that would help us to avoid the reboot.

    What supervisor are you running ?
    Be aware that the 6548 module is quite heavily oversubscribed and you could be running into this ie. servers will definitely be sending a lot more data than an IP phone.
    The 6548 has an 8Gbps connection the switch fabric (note this is assuming a sup 720). So you have 48 1Gbps ports going in (in = from end devices) and only 8Gbps going out (out = to the switch fabric). Each group of 6 ports shares a 1Gbps connection the switch fabric. So lets says on one of those groupings you had 6 servers with 1Gbps connections. If only three of these servers were sending out 400Mbps of data each you have contention because 3 x 400Mbps = 1.2Gbps and you only have 1Gbps to the switch fabric.
    If this is the problem there are a couple of solutions -
    1) you can look into how the devices are spread across the port groupings and maybe you could move things around to make the traffic more even among port groupings. However you mention servers and trunks so you could just end up with the same problem but also the phones are not working either.
    2) you can look to migrate some connections off that module onto another but this supposes you have spare capacity elsewhere. If those trunk links are connected to other switches then you would defintely want to look into moving these as the 6548 was never intended to be used as an uplink module between switches.
    3) you could upgrade the module to something like a 6748 (or whatever the latest is as they keep introducing new ones) which has a much better connection to the switch fabric. Again this assumes a sup720 as the 6748 would't work with a sup32.
    However don't just rush into 3) without first doing some investigation work eg. what do the servers do, how much traffic are they churning out etc.  Have you looked at the interface stats for each connection to see if you are getting drops etc ?

  • Enabling same Line out on my sound card (XFI Music)

    3Enabling same Line out on my sound card (XFI Music) Hello all,
    This must be possible! My main problem here is that I cannot find anyway to clone my main output, let me explain.
    I have my digital piano plugged into Line in
    I have my headphones plugged into the first Line out (these work fine)
    I have my TV (plugged in via 3.5mm jack) plugged into line out 2 (the one next to the green one)
    My TV is setup as a second monitor so I can watch films etc. All I want to do is get what I hear in my headphones on the television at the same time. I don't want to have to plug my TV into the green lineout everytime I want to use it.
    While we're on the subject, is there anyway I can remap the inputs, at the moment if I wanted to plug in my digital piano and a mic at the same time I can't. The irony is I upgraded from my absolute rubbish Realtek AC97 onboard audio device which could do all of the above. Surely this is possible?
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • How to use the same credit card for more than one customer master

    Hi,
    this is a question for consultants at least a little familiar with SAP business partner, Customer-vendor-intergration cvi, contract accounting:
    My customer wants to store the same credit card with more than one customer. Arguments are that family members or partners may mutually agree to use the same credit card for their distinct purchases.
    I never tried with amazon or the likes but I know that SAP validates the uniqueness of credit cards.
    I found 6 code line where the message (V/)005 "Payment card &1 &2 is already assigned to customer &3" prohibits duplicate assignment.
    Even if I create a couple of enhancements to suppress the error, I don't know how the system will work.
    The customer does not like the idea of using alternative payer.
    Did you ever face the same problem and how did you solve it?
    Much Thanks in advance
    Best regards
    Clemens

    thanks

  • Can someone provide a link to the firmware download for Cat65k 67xx series line cards?

    I want to check the current firmware releases on Cisco.com for line cards fitted to 6500 series switches. The only images I've been able to locate are those for the supervisor modules.
    I cannot locate rommon/firmware images for the 67xx line cards, where are these on the website?

    Since receiving the reply yesterday I've had a closer look at this. Attached is an excel file that shows the firmware versions for all the modules fitted.
    I see that the same module type has 1 of two firmware versions, surely if this had been downloaded from the supervisor at module boot time then the same version of card would have a consistent firmware version??
    E.G. the WS-X6748-SFP modules have either 12.2(14r)S5 or 12.2(18r)S1 in the same chassis.
    Can someone explain this in a bit more detail please?

  • 7k vPC best practice with multiple line cards?

    I have a pair of 7k's that have a single line card with a 2 port vPC linked to a pair of 5k's, another 2 port vPC linked to the layer 3 VDC and a 4 port vPC used for peer link.  I recently added an additional line card to the 7k’s and want to add redundancy for the new line card.  Would it be best to simply remove one of the existing ports from each vPC on line card 1 and then include a port from the new line card?  For the peer link, my thought was to remove two ports from the existing port channel and then add back 2 ports from the new line card.  This way line card 1 and 2 will share the ports that make up the vPC’s instead of all of the vPC ports being on line card 1.  Does that make sense or is there a better way to implement line card redundancy after adding a new line card? 
    Also, if I want to add some of the ports on line card 2 to the layer 3 VDC.  Can I run the allocate interface command without the fear of it removing any existing allocated ports?  I understand that the ports being moved/allocated to a different VDC will lose their current configuration.  I had a bad experience years ago using "switchport trunk vlan allowed" vs. "switchport trunk vlan allowed add" command so I just want to make sure the allocate interface doesn't require the "add" option!  :)
    Thanks!      

    Hi,
    For adding new interface to port-channel:
    1. you can shutdown the new physical interface and put all the configure as existing member interface.
    2. add as port-channal member.
    3. Unshut the physical interfaces (new interface- module 2).
    4. Shutdown the physical interfaces (module 1) which you wanted to remove from the port-channel 
    Moving interface from one VDC another VDC will erase the configuration on that  interface  . you could use allocate interface command to add new interface to the VDC but all the interface should be in same port group. Adding new interface to vdc will not affect existing interface configuration  .

    I need to connect ES/ES+ on 7613 to 6708 on 6513. this is my question, can i do this ? and does line protocol up in this case or not ? and is there any document about this ?
    and another question that is, can i use 6513 with 6708 line card in core layer in metro ethernet network and is there any document that recommended this case ?
    thank you

    WS-X6xxx LAN cards will use PFC for MPLS operations.
    For these cards, EoMPLS is supported, VPLS isn't.
    For VPLS, you need ES, ES+ or SIP cards.
    For PFC MPLS features, check this page: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/7600/ios/15S/configuration/guide/pfc3mpls.html
    For ES20, check this page:

  • CISCO VSS with different line cards in chassis

    Dear Team,
    We are planning to build VSS in our 6509 chassis with 2T SUP.
    But my chassis line cards are diifferent. For example one chassis is having CISCO NAM service module and other one dont have NAM and one chassis is having 68XX series line cards and other one is having 67XX series line cards.
    **Note: Both chassis are having same SUP 2T
    Can we build VSS with this kind of scenarion? if it is possible any issues with VSS for this setup.
    Kindly Advise.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Shine Salim

    Yes you can form.
    Q. How many Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switches can be part of a VSS?
    A. The VSS1440 will allow up to two physical Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switches to operate as a VSS. The two physical chassis does not need to be identical in the type of modules installed or even type of chassis. For example, a WS-C6503-E chassis can be combined with a WS-C6513 chassis to form a VSS.

  • Problem with installing new line card 7600-SSC-400

    Hi all,
    I have a trouble when trying to install new line card 7600-SSC-400 on Cisco 6509. Here was the message displays on the screen after I finished installing the line card : "%C6KPWR-SP-4-UNSUPPORTED: unsupported module in slot 7, power not allowed: The image for the card is not bundled in image." I tried to install this line card on another slot, but it doesn't work. The attched item is logfile which I saved in the installing session. I don't know what I hvae to do now, please help me to resolve this problem !
    Thanks so much,
    Hieu

    Hi Hieu,
    You might want to run the following to see more detail of the error:
    show diagnostic result module all detail
    And I would also suggest that you reseat the 7600-SSC-400 line card firmly back to the switch, and check the status again.
    If it's still showing the error, maybe you can try seating the module on a different slot, and check if you have the same issue.
    If the issue still persist after reseating and testing it on different slot, then it might be a hardware issue, and you might want to open a TAC case to further investigate it.
    Hope that helps.

  • 7600 / SUP720-3BXL - mixing fabric and non-fabric enabled line cards

    Dear All,
    I am having to mix fabric and non-fabric enabled line cards on a single chassis.
    These are my line cards:
    WS-X6704-10GE
    WS-X6408A-GBIC
    WS-X6148-GE-TX
    What's the maximum expected throughput in running with mix fabric line cards ?
    Also, what will be the optimal and the recommended switching mode to run (truncated vs. bus-mode) ?
    Any inputs will be greatly appreciated.
    egards,
    ZH

    hi!
    The maximum throughput will depend on the ingress and the egress card for the traffic. i.e. If the traffic is coming on the fabric enabled card and going out on the same, then the throughput is would be equal to the fabric card ( 20 gbps duplex). But if there is a non fabric card either in the ingress or egress path, then the throughput would be limited by the non-fabric card.
    As for the mode to run in, I dont think you would have to worry on that as a fabric card would default to truncated mode where-as the non-fabric cards would run in the bus mode. This works fine, as if the ingress to egress is a fabric card, only the header is sent to the superviser for processing using the tuncated mode and the packet is just sent on the fabric directly to the egress port.
    If there is a communication between fabric-non-fabric cards, then the fabric card still uses truncated mode to get the packet processed by the L2/L3 engines on Superviser and then if the egress is a non fabric card, then the packet is sent over the fabric to the superviser. From there the packet is sent to the egress over the bus.

  • Question about Line Cards

    Hello,
    I have several 4510E+R switches with the following modules:
    Mod Ports Card Type                                                      Model             
    ---+-----+--------------------------------------                        +------------------
     1    48  10/100/1000BaseT Premium POE E Series  WS-X4748-RJ45V+E
     2    48  10/100/1000BaseT Premium POE E Series  WS-X4748-RJ45V+E
     3    48  10/100/1000BaseT UPOE E Series               WS-X4748-UPOE+E
     4    48  10/100/1000BaseT UPOE E Series               WS-X4748-UPOE+E
     5     4  Sup 7-E 10GE (SFP+), 1000BaseX (SFP)     WS-X45-SUP7-E
     7    48  10/100/1000BaseT UPOE E Series               WS-X4748-UPOE+E
     8    48  10/100/1000BaseT Premium POE E Series  WS-X4748-RJ45V+E
    10    48  10/100BaseTX (RJ45)                                  WS-X4148-RJ
    As you can see, the WS-X4148-RJ is an older line card.  Our other 4510s have 2 of these same older line cards installed and are used for the wired side of our Guest network.  Are there any potential negative results of using these older line cards in these chassis?  The reason we do this is so that we have less switches to manage on our network and don't have to worry about purchasing additional equipment to accommodate our wired guests.
    Thanks!

  • Modules supported on WS-X6704-10GE line card for WS-C6509-E

    We are planning to expand the local network and looking to add 10G line cards on our WS-6509-E. The confusion is over the types of optic modules that these cards support.
    Can anyone advice if these line cards support all these three - namely XENPAK, X2 & SFP Plus?
    Thanks

    What is the difference between these supervisor (VS-S720-10G-3C or VS-S720-10G-3CXL)
    See the "XL" at the end of the part number?   If you get the regular (no "XL"), you'll only get 256k IPv4 routes.  The "XL" will allow you up to 1 million IPv4 routes.  
    Is these modules will work with c6509E and these supervisor  (VS-S720-10G-3C or VS-S720-10G-3CXL)
    Yes and no.  Yes, these supervisor cards will work on the current chassis you've got.  But if you plan to use VSS, then your 6704 line card is incompatible with VSS.  
    Another thing, don't waste your money.  Firstly, the price of the Sup720 is exactly the same as the price of the newer (and more powerful) Sup2T supervisor card.  
    And lastly, rumours has it that the 6500 chassis is in it's "last gasp".  Personally, I'm waiting for Cisco to announce the EoS/EoL.  
    If you want to future-proof your investment, the potential replacement of the venerable 6500E is the 6880-X/6807-X.

  • What is the difference between Service Edge Optimized line cards and Packet Transport line cards in the ASR 9000

    Hi Folks,

    I know that QoS is the difference in general, for example, the service edge optimized has advanced QoS features while the Packet Transport line cards has basic QoS features but I want to know some more details please.
    Thanks

    There are four main deiffences (unfortunately don't have a reference link).

  • Does TR line card (ASR9K) support H-QoS?

    Hi,
    I have some question regarding on the 2nd generation line card for ASR9k.
    Line Card Types
    The Cisco ASR 9000 Series line cards are available in Service Edge Optimized and Packet Transport Optimized variants.
    • Service Edge Optimized (SE) line cards are designed for customer deployments requiring enhanced quality of service (QoS).
    • Packet Transport Optimized (TR) line cards are designed for network deployments where basic QoS is required.
    Different line card types may be mixed within the same system.
    I already review ASR9k presentation from Xander-Thuijs and found that
    SE line card support 256K queues/NP
    TR line card support 8 queues/Port
    I'm not sure whether TR line card support H-QoS.
    Could you please give more clarification about this?

    This class default will get reused by other interaces very likely unless you have a bw remaining (percent) in there.
    So every time you see a unique QueueID you burn a queue.
    the reason why the parent shaper at level 0 says N/A is because this is a hierarchical pmap and is shaping the overal chuld classes inclduing class-default.
    So in this example applying this pmap multiple times will burn queues for class-default.
    In other words, this Pmap example uses 3 queues. One for the shaper (child class-default) and 2 PQ's of prio's 1 and 2).
