Windows 7 LLDP and Cisco Switches

Does Windows 7 support IEEE LLDP (not to be confused with MS LLTP). We have LLDP enabled on are Cisco Switches and want to be able to see are what ports the Windows 7 devices are connected to. Using the Cisco Show LLDP neighbors.

Hi,
I suggest you refer to the following article in MSDN blog:

  • Remote span between Extreme and Cisco switches

    Hello,
    I need to configure remote span between Extreme Networks X460-24p and Cisco Cataylst 2960X switches. 2 IP phones are connected to ports 15 and 17 on Extreme switch, and should be monitored to port 1/0/47 on Cisco switch. Extreme and Cisco switches are interconnected with trunk (port 28 on Extreme with port 1/0/51 on Cisco).
    I configured the following:
    On Extreme switch:
    configure mirror mode enhanced
    enable mirroring to port 28 remote-tag 1000
    configure mirroring add port 17 ingress-and-egress
    configure mirroring add port 15 ingress-and-egress
    On Cisco switch:
    vlan 1000
     name RemoteSPAN
     remote-span
    monitor session 1 destination interface Gi1/0/47
    monitor session 1 source remote vlan 1000
    But this is not working :(
    Does enyone have experience with this? I really need help to make this work.
    Thanks.

    OK, this configuration is actually working :)

  • Converged 10gig server adapters and Cisco switches

    I have little network with 4 vsphere servers connected to clustered 3750x with 4*1Gig NICs per server.
    Servers are connected to central storage with two 8Gbps FC links per server. I don’t have FO switches cause central storage is equipped with 4 FO ports per controller.
    I want to upgrade servers and central storage. Servers will have two converged 10gig (HP FlexFabric) and 4*1 Gig interfaces
    I need to upgrade 3750x switches with new one with 10 gig interfaces.
    I am looking for two new Cisco switches that can handle converged traffic from server 10gig interfaces (iSCSI, FCoE).
    Nice feature will be if it is possible to connect existing FC storage to the new switches.
    Kind regards,
    Vice Lacmanovic

    Hello, vlacmanov. 
    I recommend at least the Nexus 5000 to support iSCSI and FCoE over your 10GE interface. (http://cs.co/9001SoyL) Do you already have any existing Cisco Nexus on your network?
    Let me know if you have additional concerns or e-mail ([email protected]) me directly. Kind regards. 

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 ]

  • Re: Equium L40 - Windows 7 and wireless switch

    I upgraded my Equium L40 to Windows 7 and now the hardware wireless switch and Function-F8 don't switch the WLAN on and off. It's permanently on.
    Also, although enabled in Windows 7 power options, shutting the lid won't put thecomputer to sleep. If I shut it it turns the display off but doen't carry out the Windows 7 options.
    When I upgraded to Windows 7 I chose the option to do it as a fresh installation and so lost my Vista installation.
    I did download any drivers for Windows 7 from the Toshiba website, although there weren't many.
    Is there something else I need to do to make the WLAN swich and lid work with Windows 7? Any help gratefully received.
    Cheers,
    Ray D

    I did a clean Windows 7 install. I had previously downloaded the Windows 7 drivers from the Toshiba web site and installed them after Windows 7, although most of them were older than the drivers Windows 7 had installed. There were surprisingly few Win 7 drivers for my computer on the web site.
    I didn't do them in any particular order, although I remember that the added value one I tried last and it gave the error I mentioned above.
    Where can I find the order they should have been installed in? I couldn't find any documentation from Toshiba about how to install Windows 7.
    Cheers,

  • F3507g mobile broadband driver - Windows 7 - and Cisco Vpn issue

    Hi All,
    After 3 days trying to install / update latest drivers on my X200/ Windows 7 / 32b, it seems now that my F3507g is now installed correctly…
    I can go the a connection over internet and ping some servers BUT when I initiate my Cisco Vpn, ( working perfectly with my Ethernet connection and my Wifi 5300 AGN ) the connection is ok but no incoming or outgoing traffic !!!
    Any idea on how to solve that issue ?

    Yes, this is a problem with the IPSEC VPN NDIS driver binding your Mobile Broadband driver. You need to read this article and it is explains why and how to work around this issue:

  • Difference between setting up a vpn with windows 7 and cisco routers

    Hi.I was wondering what the main difference Is between setting up a vpn with windows 7 or configuring It on cisco routers.
      When you setup the vpn on windows 7 or xp do the client and server pc's take care of the encryption and decryption whereas configuring vpn on routers , the encryption and decryption Is done solely by the routers?
    If I want to setup a connection where an IP In the same Internal lan Is assigned to the client pc I'm guessing I'd have to use a router configuration.
      Thanks

    Thank you for the response, lucky for me there was another option. Threatened to cancel with the ISP on the NAT side unless they assigned us a public static ip/gateway/subnet. They ended up doing that and the VPN connected as soon as the changes were made in the Linksys.

  • Cisco Switches and HP Interoperability with Spanning-Tree (RSTP)

    Hello, David.
    Your command doesn't work because it's made only for tha ports that has command "spanning-tree portfast" in them. Try change spanning tree mode at the HP switch to MSTP if this is possible.

  • RedHat Enterprise Cluster and Cisco IGMP Snooping/Querying

    Has anyone else had any experience with IGMP Snooping/Querying and RedHat Enterprise Cluster?
    We have been experiencing a large amount of problems with this functionality.
    We are running IGMP Querying in our environment and we recently set up a second querier.
    Here's the steps we took
    Existing querier:  192.168.3.248
    Everything was running fine.
    Added a new querier on a different switch: 192.168.3.247
    At this point, all of our RedHat Enterprise Clusters fenced themselves and needed to be restarted in order to restore
    access.  In order to restart the RedHat Enterprise Clusters, the physical servers must be rebooted.
    Are there any known issues with RedHat Enterprise Clustering and Cisco Switches (3750
    series)?  I would expect the querier change to be seamless, but it does not seem that this
    is the case. 

    Hi,
    In our organizaiton we have Red Hat Cluster with 2 cisco switch (Model: cisco WS-C2960S-24TD-L, Version: "flash:/ c2960s-universalk9-mz.122-55.SE3/c2960s-universalk9-mz.122-55.SE3.bin").
    - We are using HP Chassis c7000 and Server is on the chassis. There are 2 service IC & Med. Each server has one service primary and other secondary running.
    - The two cluster switches are connected each other with Ether channer trunk (1+1) link. Also these 2 switches are connected to our Mgmt switch for Server Admin access to HP Chassis via OA port. The Red Hat system has cluster lan (pri & sec) & OA lan (01 & 02 of HP chassis) connected to Cluster switches. The Mgmt VLAN is 501 - 172.31.10.0/24.
    Problem:
    When the CluserSW01 goes down the cluser shifted to CluseterSW02 with Cluser_Secondary_LAN and OA2. But when the ClusterSW01 switch comes again than the communication breaks and cluster don come up.
    I was thinking this is either STP or IGMP, well sure though. As these are production systems hence we also couldn't do much more test as well.
    If you have face any such issue or have experience with it or know what the problem might be... kindly share with me.
    Thanks,
    Adnan

  • Physical port security on Cisco switching

    We have a security problem I would like to resolve. Like most sites our wired network has live ports that periodically, non corporate PCs and laptops connect up to without our knowledge. In our network we do not filter for valid MAC addresses although Ive learned this is a poor approach to security as MAC can be changed in about 10 seconds.
    I would like a solution that would validate corporate systems and let them through the Cisco layer 3 switching and block out all other devices which attempt connection. We do not currently have IDS or IPS and are not likely to in short term.
    Is there a hardware or software or combination solution out there that works well for this ?
    Thank you

    Steve
    2 solutions spring to mind
    1) 802.1x authentication. Microsoft XP/Vista has built in 802.1x supplicant and Cisco switches support Network EAP used to pass the 802.1x messages. What you also need is an authentication server such as Cisco Secure ACS server although Microsoft IAS server also supports 802.1x.
    Basically before a client is allowed access to the network they have to authenticate to the network with valid credentials otherwise the port is shutdown.
    2) NAC - Network Admission Control. This goes one step further than 1) whereby the client is also checked to see if it conforms to company policy eg. does it have the right virus checker on it etc.. and if it doesn't the client can be quarantined.
    A search on Cisco's website for both NAC and 802.1x will provide a lot of useful links.

  • "Genuine" SFP/GBIC's in Cisco switches

    I've heard some rumbling that not all GBIC/SFP products will work in Cisco switches because they are not "genuine Cisco" and Cisco switches have some way of checking to make sure they are. I can't seem to get any search hits confirming this. Can anyone point me to a document that references this?
    Searching for vendors of "genuine Cisco" SFP/GBIC products we've noticed amazing pricing disparity! Can anyone comment on their experiences in the marketplace.
    Thanks for your help - Steve

    I've heard some rumbling that not all GBIC/SFP products will work in Cisco switches because they are not "genuine Cisco" and Cisco switches have some way of checking to make sure they are.
    Starting with the 2960, 3560 & 3750, Cisco switches will interrogate the SFPs by computing the IDProm value.  If the IDProm value of the SFP is incorrect, the port goes into error-disable. 
    I can't seem to get any search hits confirming this. Can anyone point me to a document that references this?
    I won't post the command here but the command can be found in this forum.  I have seen one guy approach the manufacturer of the SFP+ and he asked the manufacturer to reflash the SFP+ so it'll show up as Cisco.  And it worked.
