VSS Switchport Issue

Hello Guys,
I am having an issue withVSS ports that I was hopingyou could assist with. I have a pair of 4500x switch, and VSS is completely configured and working properly, however when I uplink both switches using the same port on both to another switch, I cannot pass traffic between them. I have a trunk port setup on both ends, and vlans on both sides, however traffic doesn't cross the trunks. I have tested these same ports as layer 3 routed ports and they work fine. I uplink directly into my laptop with them using a copper GBIC, but when i connect to another cisco switch, traffic does not pass. Could there be a setting im missing to be configrued on the 4500x switches?

Hey Jon,
Thanks for the prompt response, I've attached the requested config output below. If you need anything else, just let me know. I am tryin to communciate over VLAN 19.

  • 4500X VSS Trunking issue

    Hi,
    I am having an issue that the VSS is different for each switch and the trunking is not working, is there anyway to configure the trunking on the VSL port without breaking the VSS? I have set the trunking on both switches but somehow after the VSS connection is up the trunking is removed on the switch 2. The following are the snippet of the VSS configuration:
    Switch 1:
    interface Port-channel1
     description *** VSS Port-Channel 1 ***
     switchport
     switchport mode trunk
     switchport nonegotiate
     switch virtual link 1
    interface TenGigabitEthernet1/2/8
     description *** VSS Links ***
     switchport mode trunk
     switchport nonegotiate
     no lldp transmit
     no lldp receive
     no cdp enable
     channel-group 1 mode on
     service-policy output VSL-Queuing-Policy
    Switch 2:
    interface Port-channel2
     switchport
     switch virtual link 2
    interface TenGigabitEthernet2/2/8
     no lldp transmit
     no lldp receive
     no cdp enable
     channel-group 2 mode on
     service-policy output VSL-Queuing-Policy
    Now I only have limited command on the Port-Channel 2:
    SWITCH01(config)#int po2
    SWITCH01(config-if)#?
    virtual link interface commands (restricted):
      default         Set a command to its defaults
      description     Interface specific description
      exit            Exit from virtual link interface configuration mode
      load-interval   Specify interval for load calculation for an interface
      logging         Configure logging for interface
      no              Negate a command or set its defaults
      service-policy  Configure CPL Service Policy
      shutdown        Shutdown the selected interface
      switch          Configure switch link
    Thanks in advance for any helpful comment.

    Hi,
    You don't need to configure the VSL link as trunk:
    just follow this config example:
    Switch-1(config)# interface port-channel 10
    Switch-1(config-if)# switch virtual link 1
    Switch-1(config-if)# no shutdown (If the port is admin shutdown)
    Switch-1(config)# interface tenGigabitEthernet 5/1
    Switch-1(config-if)# channel-group 10 mode on
    Switch-1(config-if)# no shutdown (If the port is admin shutdown)
    Switch-2(config)# interface port-channel 25
    Switch-2(config-if)# switch virtual link 2
    Switch-2(config-if)# no shutdown (If the port is admin shutdown)
    Switch-2(config-if)# interface tenGigabitEthernet 5/2
    Switch-2(config-if)# channel-group 25 mode on
    Switch-2(config-if)# no shutdown (If the port is admin shutdown)

  • VSS Permission Issue - Event ID 8194

    I have a server 2012 cluster server that gets the following error a number of times every minute.  
    Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error querying for the IVssWriterCallback interface. hr = 0x80070005, Access is denied.
    . This is often caused by incorrect security settings in either the writer or requestor process.
    Operation:
    Gathering Writer Data
    Context:
    Writer Class Id: {e8132975-6f93-4464-a53e-1050253ae220}
    Writer Name: System Writer
    Writer Instance ID: {957ea24a-fb64-4b24-98f6-26efe5481451}
    I have checked permissions on any third party vss writers and they are good.  I'm able to stop this error from occurring if I stop the Cryptographic Services service which seems to indicate a problem with one of windows built in VSS writers.  If
    I run a vssadmin list writers then all of them come back stable with no errors.  Any suggestions on how to fix this at this point would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

    Hi,
    There is a similar thread, please go through it to help troubleshoot this issue:

    If this error occurs on Cluster nodes and no other symptoms are observed, the error can be safely ignored.

  • 6500 VSS SNMP issues

    We recently converted 2 6506-E chassis to use VSS w/ Quad-Sup and noticed that several SNMP OIDs we used for monitoring have stopped working.
    OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.217.1.3 only provides module statistics for the active chassis, rather than both.
    OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.5 no longer exists as an object.  We monitored numerous items under 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.5.1.3.1.1 which are no longer available.
    Has anyone encountered these issues after converting to VSS and/or do you have any suggestions with how to deal with them?
    Thanks,
    -Kevin

    I am having similar issue on 4500-X VSS, ENTITY-MIB only available on active chassis.

  • Cisco 4500 VSS link issue

    Hi,
    We are having Cisco 4500 switches running in VSS mode. Currently VSS links are connected on ports with capacity of 1 GB & we wanted to replace those ports with new 10 GB DAC cable.
    We manage this switch remotely via SSH. If we disable VSS link or broke the VSS between 2 switches , is it still possible to access  switches over SSH ?
    or we need someone near to device for Console session ?
    Thanks in advance.

    It depends on how the setup is.
    If you have the devices access through the  console server then you should be able to access the box.
    Reason: When you bring down the VSL link the dua active condition triggered. 
    Switch 1 detects that switch 2 is now also active triggering dual active 
    condition thus switch 1 brings down all the local interfaces to avoid network 
    instability. Until VSL link restoration occurs, switch 1 is isolated from the 
    network; 
     Once the VSL link comes up, the role negotiation determines that switch 1 
    needs to come up in STAND_BY mode hence it reboots itself; finally, all 
    interface on switch 1 are brought on line and switch 1 assumes STAND_BY role.

    Exchange VSS Writer (instance ae29b16e-11b9-4f2d-b2eb-a544d0927d87:2) failed with error code -2147221233 when processing the backup completion event.
    I thought it was a backup issue but Veeam have investigated and have said it is a VSS timeout issue (I'm not convinced)
    Recently I have had to have a new logs drive and extend the size of the mail box drive but since those changes were made backup has run OK until this issues.
    Any advice appreciated.

    Hi,
    Based on my research, when Veeam takes the snapshot to then do a VSS backup it will cause the databases in the DAG to fail over and cause lots of alerts and we can modify the REM for the backup issue:

  • Catalyst 3560 PoE Port ASIC Port Loopback Test Issue

    Hi,
    We have a switchports issue in this specific switch, wherein some switchports cannot be
    turned on.  Whenever we try to perform a (shut/no shut) on the interface, it shows this
    message:
    Fa0/1 can't be brought up because it failed POST in loopback test
    We also tried to 'reload' this switch, but still those switchports remains down. When we
    transfer a device from a defective switchport to a working switchport, the device is working
    fine.  Thus, the phsyical connection or host set-up is OK.
    Here's the output from "sh post" command:

    This is the wrong forum to post to for this issue but I can still give you insight. Basically when the switch is booting it's going through Power On Self Test (POST). The failures you're seeing basically mean this section of switch ports which are connected to an ASIC are not functional and or have failed. This is a physical hardware problem and can not be resolved. At this point you'll need to open up a TAC case for RMA.

    What I have done to try to troubleshoot this issue is:
    Reinstalled DPM - No sucess
    Restarted the Hyper-v Host - No sucess
    I'm at the point where I am out of ideas and google hasn't given me much.
    /Joseph

    i have the same error.
    "vssadmin list writers" shows last error unknown for all writers
    disk space is sufficient
    ntbackup of systemdrive and systemstate runs fine.
    i installed KB940349 which fixes some vss related issues but the problem is still there.
    any ideas?
    Thanks.
    When you have vssadmin reporting unknown error the only way to reset the vsswriters (as I understand it please correct me if I'm wrong :) ) is to restart the machine. The Fellenator is correct, make use that the vsswriter is working correctly since this
    is the main function DPM is using when taking backup. He's also right in saying that it's outside the scope! Create a new thread on your error, then you will get much better responce!

  • Microsoft Exchange Writer State: [9] Failed Last error: Timed out

    Hi,
    We're running Exchange 2010 SP3 UR4
    We're backing up using DELL Compellent Replay Manager.  Works half the time.  Geting "time out" errors on Microsoft Exchange Writer during the rest.
    Event log shows event id 2003 and 2007 for ShadowCopy near the 45 seconds to 1 minute mark.  It really looks like it's too busy to finish the job.
    Error is recoverable.  No action is taken and next snapshot can succeed.
    I watched the server during a snapshot to see if resources are an issue but there was no spike in resources that was obvious to me.
    Dell says its a Microsoft VSS issue but our VSS backups using Netbackup have no problem.  They don't overlap, by the way.
    Can Microsoft VSS be tweaked if I'm getting a timeout error on Microsoft Exchange Writer?
    thanks,
    rudif

    Hello,
    Please post the detailed error information and check if there is any other related warning or error.
    According to your description, the issue seems to be backup software. But I still recommend you run the command "VSSadmin list writers" to check Exchange writer state. If the Exchange writer is not in stable state(such as "Retryable error" state), please
    try to restart information store service to check the result again.
    Please try to refer to the following blog to troubleshoot VSS Backups issue. (Please Note:Based on my known, it also applies to exchange 2010.)

    This would seem to be something that needs addressing, but what I don't understand is there is no error in the event log or the Windows BackUP system.  Am I on the road to a disaster?

    Hi Mike,
    The above error is a general error that occurs when the operating system raises an error while performing I/O during a backup or restore operation. In most situations the cause is simply that the backup medium is full.
    You can take below actions to troubleshoot this issue:
    • Review SQL Server error messages to identify the cause of the failure.
    • Ensure that the backup and restore medium has sufficient space.
    • Correct any errors raised by third-party backup and restore software.
    For more details about the error, please review the following articles:

  • Omni and sector antenna

    1410 x 4
    sector antenna x 4
    three sites.... two root bridges on tope of hq, and two non-root bridges one for each remote sites
    root1 -> remote site 1 (3km)
    root2 -> remote site 2 (1.5km)
    the above mentioned setup is working fine.
    to save one ap+antennax2, replaced one sector with an omni.
    so, now...
    1410 x 3
    omni x 1 (headquarters) part# AIR-ANT58G9VOA-N
    sector x 2 (remote sites)
    root1 -> remote site 1 (3km)
    root1 -> remote site 2 (1.5)
    upon replacing the root bridge antenna from sector to omni, the following occured:
    1. lost connection between root bridge and the switch.
    2. show cdp on switch will not show the bridge.
    3. show cdp on bridge will not show the switch.
    4. switchport status is up and led is lit normal.
    5. connecting to the root bridge... connection to the remote bridge is ok, remote bridge is associated and pingable. but after a while connection will be lost.
    6. a bridge power reset will restore the connection but the problem will come again after some time. with power reset i'm unable to see the logs.
    7. some times an hour, and sometimes after 10 - 12 hours before the problem occurrs again.
    8. installed the omni antenna upward, on top of pole... same problem.
    9. installed the omni downward (close to pole)... same probem.
    10. installed the omni downward (away from pole with 0.5m metal arm)... same problem.
    11. replaced the power injector... same problem.
    12. replaced the patch cord from root bridge to switch....  this lasted for more than 12 hours and the problem came back.
    13. switch show log only show that there has been a switchport reset on the port where the root bridge is connected.
    14.
    what coudl be the problem here.
    thanks, experts!

    Can you please give us some more info so we get better understanding.
    - If sector antenna are working fine then why to replace one of them?
    - Why using sector antenna? why not directional antennas?
    - Provide - if possible - a simple sketch about how your bridges are connected ( I currently imagine that the HQ is in the middle and there is one root bridge on each side of it one bridge communicates with another non-root bridge and all 3 buildings are -almost- on straight ilne).
    - What vendor/model of sector antennas you use?
    I would say seeing the switchport issue is not normal. The bridge should not normally disappear from the switch port.
    What I suggest is to upgrade the IOS if it is not already on lates version (read the release notes of the newer release before using it to upgrade).

    I wanted to query the support community to see if folks are encountering issues in deploying the 6880-X in VSS mode.  We first looked at this soluition when it was running 15.1(2) SY2 as the recommened GA code.  We ran into several issues:
    1) VSL Link Timeout - Workaround:modify LMP timer or upgrade to 15.1(2)SY4
    2) Port-member goes into suspendstate when using 1000BASE-SX - shut/no shut suspended interface
    We ran into this and some other issues even with the eFSU upgrade process.  So my question is have you run into similiar difficulties in running the 6880 in VSS mode.  Did you go ahead and deploy?  If so did you deploy with 15.1(2)SY4 (new Cisco GA code) or did you live with the state you are in?
    Were there ways that you mitigated these issues?
    Thanks,
    Patnaik

    Hi Reza,
    Here you go.  Just so you know I resolved the suspended port-member by OIR the optic that was displayed as a 10G interface.

    And still repeating 11 & 8193 at this point...as we write up this post.
    12.
    This was suggested by the Backup Assist - software vendor....
    A.)
    ...for 0x81080101:
    "ERROR - The shared restore point operation failed with error (0x81000101)
    The creation of a shadow copy has timed out. Try again this operation."
    If you receive the above error in your report, we have recently found a registry key which
    contains the timeout value set by Microsoft for VSS and found that you can edit this to extend it.
    To get to the registry key, open Regedit (Start > Run > Regedit) and browse to:
    "HKLM\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\SPP\\CreateTimeout".
    Change value to 1200000 (2*10*60*1000 = 20 mins).
    The default for the timeout period is 10 mins so hopefully doubling this will give enough time to
    complete the snapshot.
    If this isn't present, you'll need to manually enter the registry key. It's a DWORD 32-bit key.
    --> NOTE: HAve not done this yet.

    --> Related to Windows backup and not VSS?
    2155348001 - 0x80780021 - Windows Backup timed-out before the shared protection point was created.
    Should we run the "FIXVSS08.BAT" script - restarts services and re-registers DLL's - does this ever help?
    Will this server need a reboot since VSS is in a state and we can't even test backups?
    Is there a tool we can use to debug VSS or troubleshoot or OS backups further?
    MSReport/Diag, VSS debugging, or another way of helping fix our OS(SystemState/C: drive) backup issues?
    Any help is greatly appreciated - thx.

    Hi Scot,
    Sometimes a third party backup application will change the default VSS provider adding VSS writers which causes Windows Server Backup using an incorrect component in doing backup, that's why I suggest to delete it for a test. Anyway you can reinstall it
    after testing.
    And as you said a high-load CPU could also be the cause of the issue so you may need to first rule hardware effective out.
    If issue still exists, please try the steps below as well:
    1. Please check DCOM Server Process Launcher service is started.
    2. If not, try to change RPC service to run as SYSTEM account. To do this please modify the following key:
    Note: Backup the key before edit incase it cause any issue.
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\RpcSs\
    Find "ObjectName" and change the value to LocalSystem.
    Reboot to see if DCOM back to work and if Windows Server Backup starts working. If not, please provide the result if there is any new error occurs.
    If DCOM still not work, please compare the content of the following key with a working server:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\OLE
    Edit if there is any difference and make sure you created a backup of the key before editing.

  • 6509E VSS w/Quad-Sup 720 - Traffic Forwarding Issue

    Hello all,
    I ran into an interesting problem yesterday evening while performing a quad-sup upgrade to an existing dual-sup 6509E VSS architecture. Unfortunately, the expiration of my maintenance window forced me to roll back the changes before I had the opportunity to truly discover the root issue, however, I wanted to post my experience on Support Forums with the hope that someone else has run into it before.
    The customer I was working with has an existing dual-sup (720) environment operating in VSS mode. Both sup's were installed an operational in slot 5 of each chassis. The switch ID's had been assigned as 1 and 2, and the VSL was comprised of the two 10GE interfaces connected between each of the sup modules (1/5/4-2/5/4 and 1/5/5-2/5/5). The customer wanted to increase their intra-chassis redundancy by installing two additional sup 720 modules in slot 6 of each chassis, and adding these 10GE interfaces to the VSL.
    The overall upgrade went very well. I began by physically installing an additional sup 720 in slot 6 of the VSS standby chassis, and the sup module came up into RPR-Warm status (which is the desired state). I then physically installed an additional sup 720 in the VSS active chassis, and it too came up into RPR-Warm status. After reviewing the VSS redundancy state, I determined that everything looked good, and proceeded to add the additional 10GE links (1/6/4-2/6/4 and 1/6/5-2/6/5) into the VSL configuration. I then physically connected the additional VSL links (but shifted them around as to achieve diversity between the chassis (1/5/4-2/5/4, 1/5/5-2/6/5, 1/6/4-2/6/4, 1/6/5-2/5/5). I then reviewed the VSL link state and EtherChannel state, and everything looked great.
    At that point, we were pretty much done with the switch configuration, and proceeded to verify that server/network resources were not affected. I found that there seemed to be an issue sending traffic across the VSL. For example, some physical servers connected to switch ID 1 were having a difficult time communicating to physical servers connected to switch ID 2 (this customer is still working on dual-homing hosts). I looked at all of the obvious things - physical VSL interfaces, EtherChannel status, etc., and everything looked good. I then proceeded to remove physical VSL interfaces from the configuration, eliminating those that were added that evening (e.g., all interfaces except the original 1/5/4-2/5/4 were removed) - nothing. At this point, I was 10 minutes from the expiration of the maintenance window and was forced to roll back. It wasn't until the newly added sup's were physically removed from the chassis that the issue subsided. That said, I was able to conclude that the VSL wasn't the problem at all, but perhaps the installation of the sup's was??
    All of the sup 720's were running 12.2(33)SXI6 code, which I had verified to be a safe harbor version (although there are known bugs, none appear to be related to this issue).
    Has anyone run into this issue before? Any thoughts would be appreciated!

    You bring up VSS outside of the current environemnt. Create all vlans with a spanning tree priority higher than the existing.
    Create all the vlan interfaces and leave them shutdown.
    Connect the existing core to the new VSS core. Make sure that all vlans are properly crossing the trunk between old and new cores. Depending on how you're routing is set up, you might need to create a vlan to use for routing updates only.
    At this point, you can start changing spanning tree priorities to move the root of the vlans to the vss. Once these have been moved, you can start to manipulate hsrp.
    Whichever switch has the backup interface, shut those interfaces down. After this is done, shut the vlan inteface on the old core and no shut on the vss. Since vss doesn't use hsrp, it's hard to manipulate the vss since you want the vlan interface to be the previous standby ip.
    Flipping the vlan intefaces shouldn't cause any issues. I've done this method several times in large hospitals with no issues.
    Once you have the vss running, you can move the access switches 1 link at a time. Make sure you're running rapid pvst.
    The method I've used for this is to create a port channel on both the access switch and the vss. On the vss, you can assign the interfaces into the port channel immediately. On the access switch, disconnect one of the interfaces that goes to the old core. Add the disconnected inteface into the port channel then plug it back in. It should come up as the only member of the etherchannel. After you verify this link is up properly, perform the same with the second uplink on the access switch. When you plug it in, it should join the channel and you should be fine. With rapid pvst, nothing should be noticeable when the links block and unblock.

  • LMS 4.2.3 - C6500 VSS - Issue with inline card on secondary chassis

    Hello,
    We are currently setting up a fresh new LMS 4.2.3 server to administrate a 90 LAN-device-perimiter. Installation is OK (on a Windows Server), devices are up, monitored and their configurations archived.
    The core switches are Catalyst 6506 VSS (s2t54-IPSERVICESK9-M - 15.1(1)SY) including 2 inlines cards :
    - WS-C6505E-SUP2T
    - WS-X6824-SFP-2T
    There is an issue with line card WS-X6824-SFP-2T recognition on secondary chassis only. We updated the last software packages for LMS (via Admin > Software Center > Device Update) and situation improved but still, it is not behaving as excepted.
    Impact : Topology, Ciscoview and Device Center for C6506-VSS do not show the card and links on the WS-X6824-SFP-2T of secondary chassis.
    Do you have this issue as well ? Any direction or help ?
    I am afraid of a potential bug...
    Rgds,
    Yoann

    When you were placing the internal test calls, where was your phone located?   The RTP streams are usually only set up between the two endpoints (assuming no transcoder or MTP is used).
    Have you have already checked calls between IP phones at your central site (where Unity is located) and IP Phones at site A?   Are these working fine?   If not, then it's likely you do have a QoS issue over the WAN to Site A.
    Have you confirmed whether or not calls from the PSTN gateway at site A experience any voice QoS issues when transferred to an IP Phone at the central site?
    Is the same codec is being used for the MGCP gateway as for IP Phones at that site (check the Region settings for the Device Pool it's in)?
    If these things have all been checked, then you may want to consider collecting a simultaneous sniffer trace from each end of a single call, and comparing what's seen at the two endpoints.
    Kind regards,
    Craig
