Vsan membership down on mapped FC uplink port

Hi,
since I updated Cisco UCS Manager, all Chassis and Fabric Interconnects to version 2.2(1), I get some minor faults.
I configure ports 31 and 32 as FC uplink ports and mapped each port to a vsan:
Port 31 = VSAN "blue"
Port 32 = VSAN "red"
(I know, this is not common to map two diffrent VSANs to the same fabric, but I have to )
Since the update, I get minor faults:
Port 31 --> FCoE or FC uplink is down on VSAN "red" / membership-down
Port 32 --> FCoE or FC uplink is down on VSAN "blue" / membership-down
I have no FC port channels or FC trunking mode activated. Fabric Interconnect is in EHM.
Same in the other fabric.
Can someone help me or is this the same cosmetic issue as discussed in the quote?

Hi HugoStiglitz
I saw this message , after upgradet to 2.2(1d)
but In several times , Cleared this message .
Fist of all ,
I Removed All FCoE Uplink Cable whose FabricInterconnect-A
and then
I saw FCoE or FC uplink is down on VSAN Red and blue
but, FabricInterconnect-A has no VSAN blue in this port-Channel
In several times ,
FCoE or FC uplink is down on VSAN blue is clear.
I have no idea , when clear this messages .

Why the Fibre uplink ports are down state even after giving no shutdown command at the interface

Hi
My Predecessors brought 2 CISCO 3750 switches and implemented LACP on these core switches. Due to looping in the network the Fibre uplink ports GigabitEthernet1/1/3 and GigabitEthernet2/1/3 are down (I think these uplink ports are mirrored in the LACP concept)
Please see below from the configuration.
I logged into the core switch and went to this particular interface GigabitEthernet1/1/3 and I gave the following command and still the port is in the down state after I gave no shutdown command. Do I need to give the same no shutdown command at interface GigabitEthernet2/1/3 as well ?
Switch-Core1(config) interface GigabitEthernet1/1/3
Switch-Core1(config-if)#no shutdown
Switch-Core1(config-if)#
Please see below After no shutdown command given still these 2 Gigabit fibre uplink ports are down.

It is possible you are overloading that little 4215. If that is the case you should also be seeing "missed packet percentage" messages in your events.
How much traffic is your 4215 getting? Those sensors will start to drop packets for inspection at about 30 Mb/s.

Stop ethernet uplink port will cause appliance port down

Dear All,
I would like to make sure what kind of network traffic will communicate internal in FI.
I disabled the uplink port, and found appliance port was also down.
Does appliance port need to route to uplink port and then back to UCS server ?
Thank you for clarification.
Best Regards,
Dennis Dai

Expected behavior. By default, if there are no uplinks online & fwd, then all southbound links (server links and appliance ports) will also go down.
See Abi's explanation here for details how to modify this behavior.
https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2187144?tstart=0
In short you have to change the Network Control policy of the Appliance port from the Equipment Tab.
Regards,
Robert

UCS clear faults from disabled fc uplink ports

Have 6 uplink fc interface setup but they are disabled. on each FI.
They show Minor Fault f1083 for membership down on vsan members.
The vsan members do not exist anymore
Error Message.

How can I get rid of these messages?
Thank you in advance

I tried multiple tricks with the PE; the only one that worked for me, is deleting the VSAN ! Most likely this is not the solution that is acceptable for you.
Sorry !
Kind Regards
Walter.
PS. I used FC EHM, and had 16 FC uplinks on each FI; initially only common VSAN 1; as soon I create a new VSAN, e.g. 10 for fabric A, and 20 for fabric B; I get 16 of the messages you mention in your post, for each fabric.

WRT54G v5 Uplink Port Not Designated

Running out of ethernet ports, wanting to add a Fast Switch (SMCGS5), the back panel of this router doesn't designate which port is an uplink port, likewise the switch. Unless I went blind, my User Guide and the User Guide online for this model, has no mention of any uplink port designation, other than the 3rd paragraph of the online Product Description, for this model.
I'm currently using one laptop, two PC's, and one NAS, and want to add one more wired PC. I'm noticing intermittent stalling or freezing after I installed the switch into Port 1. So I switched over to running to the switch from Port 4, noticed no difference in wired performance. Shutdown everything to be used on the network, including doing a reset all, no change in wired performance when the switch is used, otherwise, works fine with existing router/switch ports.
Took switch to friends house to install in their network. They have no problems with this switch.
Would anyone be able to help me identify if the WRT54G v5 Router even has a uplink port? Or are "all" the ports, uplink ports? I've read the pre-posting information and have searched for similar question(s).

You can still keep your linksys router...I would recommend you to upgrade the firmware on the router , then reset and re-configure it...
Download the firmware from here ,
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device: -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page.In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1
Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...
Then, unplug the power cable while holding down the reset button for another 30 Seconds...
Plug the power cable back in, and keep holding down the reset button for another 30 Seconds...
Release the reset button...Now re-configure your router and connect it to your switch...I hope this works...

NCS wired MAC trace incorrectly puts MAC at uplink ports

Greetings,
I generally love the Cisco Prime NCS functionality which allows one to quickly trace a MAC address to a switch and port. However, I'm having trouble with some MACs appearing at the uplink port of a closet switch rather than it's real access port on a different. While it is true that this PC's MAC is in the CAM for that closet uplink port, it's there with hundreds of others. It is also in the CAM for the port it is actually connected to, and in that case it's the ONLY MAC for that port, as expected. Both switches are functioning within NCS, and in fact if I drill down into the switch it is connected to, the client detail shows this MAC connected to the proper port. It's just the search trace that "incorrectly" shows it out at some uplink. In fact, it moves around to different closet uplinks (per the MAC search history results). It doesn't only happen with this MAC, either. I kind of sold the customer on this functionality and it's a little embarrassing.
1. Has anyone seen it and knows of a way to get it to show correctly and/or prevent this problem?
2. What criteria does NCS use to determine where to place the item when the MAC appears in multiple places? I would think it would at least pick a port that does not have other MAC addresses on it first, under the assumption that ports with multiple MACs are uplinks (I realize that there are cases where it COULD be on a multiple MAC port, such as an uplink to an unmonitored switch...not the case here). I can tell you that in the cases I've noticed, the uplinks are not 802.1q, just access ports.
Thanks!

Had the same issue here. Here is the best solution I have found so far:
Hotspot + Pepwave Max On-The-Go (w/ Load Balancing) + Airport Extreme
I have a VZW MiFi, but I believe this set-up will work with other hotspot devices. I actually have 2 MiFi Hotspots with a monthly allowance of 20G each. They are plugged directly into the Pepwave router (aka, tethered). (Note: you have to have the right cable to do this. The one that came with my Hotspot was only for charging.) If, for some reason, you cannot tether with your Hotspot device, you want a router that offers WiFi as WAN. The Pepwave will do this. The Pepwave is connected to my Airport Extreme via ethernet cable. I have the WiFi on the MiFis and the Pepwave turned off. So the only visible network is my Airport Extreme. The Pepwave is essentially just functioning as a modem.
I used to have a Cradlepoint, but I did not find it very user friendly--too complex for home use. The Pepwave Max OTG is awesome. I got the one with Load Balancing so it allows you to connect up to 4 cellular devices. If you only need the one Hotspot, you can just get the cheaper Pepwave Max OTG. The Pepwave allows me to run off one of the MiFis until I hit my 20G/month allowance, then it automatically switches to the other one. That way I never max-out on my monthly data allowance. Additionally, it gives you a real-time, hourly, daily and monthly running tally on data usage.
The guys at the 3Gstore are excellent and can help you figure out the best solution for your situation.

Weird Broadcast on uplink port

Hello everyone
I have noticed one weird thing on some of our switches. Lets say we have Switch A and Switch B and Switch C
Switch B and C are connected to Switch A.
I have configured storm control on uplink port on Switches B and C
I can see 1,2% broadcast on uplink ports of Switches B and C, but there is no broadcast % on these uplink ports on Switch A
How is this possible? If there is a broadcast on one end of an uplink port, it should be also on the other end, am I correct?
Moreover, I started removing VLANs from these uplink ports, removed all except my management VLAN but broadcast around 1,2-1,4% were still on the link.
I have checked all ports with storm control on Switches B and C - no broadcast %
I have also checked other switches connected to Switch A - no broadcast %
Can some explain to me, how can I narrow down this broadcast traffic?
Thank you

Hi,
Well, I gotta be honest with you, I had never heard the term but I would like to share something with you cause I saw that this is not the first time you have questions about VM-FEX.
These are the 2 modes I had heard before, I am not sure if you were trying to refer to one of those:
It comes from this great presentation from Ciscolive!:
http://www.alcatron.net/Cisco%20Live%202013%20Melbourne/Cisco%20Live%20Content/Data%20Centre%20And%20Virtualisation/BRKCOM-2003%20%20UCS%20Networking%20-%20Deep%20Dive%20including%20VM-FEX.pdf it starts on page 58
It also covers Disjoint L2 briefly, which was part of your original question, in page 91.
Also, this book http://www.ciscopress.com/store/data-center-virtualization-fundamentals-understanding-9781587143243 from a great colleague covers a good amount of information about VM-FEX
I hope this helps somehow with your question/doubts.

SG100-24 uplink ports?

Just purchased 1/2 a dozen SG100-24 switches which I was planning to use in our switch rack and uplink into our HP Procurve switching backbone ... but when I connected port 24 up ... nada ... nothing ... doesn't light up ... no traffic.
In the past we had used the SR2024 switches, which uplinked through port 24 just fine. However the SR2024 has reached end of life and my supplier is telling me that the SG100-24 is its replacement.
Can anyone shed any light on what's going on? Does the SG100-24 only provide uplink through the miniGBIC ports and NOT through the port 12 and port 24 gigabit ports? Should I be buying a different model of switch? Or is there a 'trick' to get it working?
I know its not a patching to upstream switching issue, because I can plug a laptop into the same patch panel port as I am trying to use for the SG100-24's uplink and its connecting me up just fine.

FURTHER TESTING:
I tried an old 100Mbit/sec Netgear switch on the same port and it worked fine. Bought a new gigabit Netgear switch, as its documentation explicitly said that it supports auto-sensing uplink negotiation on all ports ... and it FAILED.
Huh? I then routed a link from our core switch down to a spare patch port (#5 instead of #1) and it WORKED with both the Netgear and the Cisco gigabit switches.
CONCLUSION:
There is nothing wrong with the Cisco SG100-24 and it WILL provide uplink on the copper gigabit ports ... BUT ... it (and other similar switches) are sensitive to very minor line faults and may not auto-uplink if there's anything dodgy going on with the physical cabling.
Simply plugging in another old switch or plugging a laptop directly into the patch panel ports may not be an adequate test of whether there is a line fault in the physical cabling.
Apologies to Cisco for doubting the quality of their product!

Setting uplink port on Catalyst 2900 series Switch

Greetings, I'm working on my CCNA and I want to copy down the IOS to my Linux box via TFTP before making any major configuration changes (basically back it up).
I've noticed I don't have an uplink port on the Switch and not really sure how to go about this.
Also can I use CAT5 or will I have to use Cross-Over?
thanks

[quote]
As long as the speed and duplex are set to auto then MDI/MDI-X is enabled.
[/quote]
I'm not sure how to confirm if MDI/MDI-X is enabled or not on the Switch.
Forgot to include this other detail. All of the devices (Linux pc and Cisco Switch) are connected to a Linksys SOHO Router/Switch. Will this make a difference? I wouldn't think so as long both devices can ping each other.
thanks

Best QOS Practice for a congested Uplink Port?

I have an MPLS uplink port to a carrier that carries both voice and data.
For example, Customer 3750 Switch 100MB Uplink--->100MB Uplink Carrier Router---Carrier Router 6MB MLPP Voice/Data MPLS Uplink with QOS configured for Voice subnet on carrier side too.
The port occasionally suffers from overutilizition and spikes to the full 6MB
I have a centralized CUCM that has phones that occasionally reset due to TCP 2000 timeouts (usually during the period of high utilization)
So that I can avoid most phone resets during high utilization I have prioritized all voice traffic (signalling and RTP streams) to EF
My question: What is best practice configuration for a congested uplink port? I'm going to assume the answer is it depends (the all great technical answer )
Here are my thoughts on how to configure the 3750 uplink port so far:
apply mls qos trust dscp
apply priority-queue out
(Here's where I'm looking for help)
apply some sort of policing or bandwidth statement on the interface to protect the voice traffic: What are the recommendations and what would those configurations look like?
I would apply these these configurations to the uplink ports at the edge site as well as the central site.
Any thoughts as to the best way to accomplish this?

You want to prioritize VoIP traffic at congestion points, which for you, looks to be whenever your LAN bandwidth hits your 6 Mbps WAN.
If the carrier takes your 100 Mbps, and doesn't just generally police all traffic to 6 Mbps, but instead has different priority queues for the 6 Mbps, all you should need to do, is insure you traffic is correctly processed by your WAN vendor. This, though, might require marking your traffic for the WAN provider.
If you carrier first polices all your traffic at 6 Mbps (many do), then you need to shape the traffic (with you own prioritization) before the provider "sees" it. If you need to "shape" on the 3750, there's a command to limit a port's bandwidth utilization, as a percentage. However it's not exact, so you may need to "shape" slower than 6 Mbps to insure 6 Mbps won't be exceeded. (BTW, for 6 Mbps, if you need to do QoS, you would be better off with an ISR.)
You also mention 6 MLPPP, but it's unlclear what your device is for that.
How to configure 3750 QoS is involved. Basically when you enable QoS, each port has four dedicated egress queues. By default, different traffic markings go into one of the four queues, each queue has same share of the bandwidth, and almost same share of the buffers. The PQ command you noted, enables the first queue to always transmit its packets first. Normally, you'll want to do that for VoIP bearer packets, which you've (insured are) directed to that queue. You also want to insure that VoIP signally packets are not likley to be dropped and, more or less, are forwarded quickly.
Cisco has multiple papers on QoS configurations, including papers for 3750s, so instead of my trying to present that, the above is intended as an overview. Feel free to post additional questions, the more specific, the more likely you'll get an answer.

SR-IOV Uplink Port with NIC Teaming

Hello,
I'm trying to setup my uplink port profile and logical switch with NIC Teaming and SR-IOV support. In Hyper-V this was easy, just had to create the NIC Team (which I configured as Dynamic & LACP) then check the box on the virtual switch.
I'm VMM it does not seem to like to enable NIC Teams with SR-IOV:
Can anyone advise? I'm not using any virtual ports. I just want all my VMs to connect to the physical switch though the LACP NIC Team, something which I thought would be simple.
I have a plan B - don't use Microsoft's NIC Teaming and instead use the Intel technology to present all the adapters as one to the host. I'd rather no do this.
Thanks
MrGoodBytes

Hi Sir,
"SR-IOV does have certain limitations. If you configure port access control lists (ACLs), extensions or policies in the virtual switch, SR-IOV is disabled because its traffic totally bypasses the switch.
You can’t team two SR-IOV network cards in the host. You can, however, take two physical SR-IOV NICs in the host, create separate virtual switches and team two virtual network cards within a VM. "
There is really a limitation when using NIC teaming :

Dashboard for only Monitoring uplink ports ~~~~~SCOM 2012 R2

Hi Guys,
I want to monitoring signal interface of switch like uplink port. And same i want create dashboard.
Please help me out for creating dashboard for only signal uplink interface port.

If you want to monitor the interface status on a switch, you'll have to build a custom monitor. (Unless you use supported devices e.g. Cisco Catalyst).
Go to authoring > monitors. Under the class 'Node' you can make a new monitor. Choose for SNMP and follow the wizard.
You'll need the OID to monitor. Usually you can find this OID in the MIB's (using a MIB browser) of your device.
MIB's can be found on the vendor website.

SCVMM2012r2 UR3 : Even with no Virtual switch assigned, an uplink port profile remains

Hi,
What I'm tryng to do, is to unassign an uplink set on my host, set to the wrong NIC (actually, on 3 NIC, event if I specified 2 when I added the logical switch...).
To proceed, I deleted the Logical Switch assigned in the host properties on Virtual Switches tab.
On my host, the teaming has been deleted, but unfortunately, on one of my NIC, the subnet set in my Logical Network subsit in "Logical Network Connectivity" and is greyed out.
It's said "The subnet an VLAN information is set by an uplink port profile set 'tVMNet' associated to this host an cannot be changed here".
But, if I removed the virtual switch, how can it be?
Thanks for any advice, I'm stuck

Hi all,
I did finaly remove the cluster from SCVMM and added it back, and it's working now. No more ghost config remaining.
I'm working on SCVMM from 3 days now, and I'm really not sure that's the easy to use tool we need to manage our small private cloud... It's buggy, slow, oposite of ergonomic and far too much cloud provider oriented...

Catalyst 2960 uplink ports

Hi,
is there any difference between uplink ports (using 1Gbps SFP) and any another 10/100/1000 port on Catalyst 2960X ? What I mean is: if uplink port has a 1Gbps SFP and considering that standard port are 10/100/1000, is there a reason, for example related to Catalyst internal hardware and bus architecture, that should make me connect a server to the uplink port instead to any another port ?
Thank you a lot,
enrico.

Although you can purchase Copper SFP's, people generally use the SFP ports on a switch to connect fibre cables to which means they they get the full 12/24/48 ports for their hosts.
Using one or more of the standard ports for uplinks means there are less for hosts but if you have spare and don't want the cost of running fibre and purchasing additional SFP's then use the normal ports.
