Ethernet VMware with Cisco EtherChannel and Trunking Question

Hello

Trying to get our etherchannels works correctly with our network administrator. Here is our config with a few questions.

1. as it is to create the trunk between switch and host directly, can I use spanning tree portfast chest edge ?

2. when don't we use no ip address and when not for this configuration? I see online showing examples with and without it.

3. in some articles, he described in access mode , while in others he said dot1q trunk mode. See here for the access mode. Admin think it should use dot1q.

4 Etherchannel is fully support and preferred extending from links on maps, right? Not all of the links on the same card?

5 is this the case in order to change the load balancing algorithm in vmware first or first to the work of cisco? I did first vmware. (IP-hash)

It's on a series with 4 cards/blades 6500 switch.

Wow Josh. If only you had written documentation. That's the trouble with him. People like me get final instructions, because we're not the guys from network 24 x 7. Great documentation would be layout, the reasons to go this way or that way you did just. That being said, here's my summary based on this discussion.

1. we have several VLANS that descends from 3 links on the etherchannel. Thus, we should use mode trunk because there is not a single.

2. we have an another etherchannel with just 1 vlan (vmotion), but in all of two links. This should be the access mode. Or is it still trunk because it's the multiple links?

3. I don't know what crash dump logger is, or how it applies to my situation.

4. I saw the bpduguard setting before what exactly is the syntax to use for us? 6500 series.

5. I don't know if our switch would deliver on that port. How can I tell? At this moment I have switchport setting in there.

Thank you!

No problem for reference, the other question of documentation is one of the languages. Their word etherchannel on HP networking hardware, 'trunk' and has nothing to do with the discussion of port "access vs circuit", which they call "tag unidentified vs.

1 Yes

2. you would certainly make an access port.

3. If your server never begins to have a problem with break, VMware can a copy of the accident for the debug log. You can see an article on setting up here: put in place the collector of Dump ESXi 5.0 | VMware vSphere Blog - VMware Blogs.

4 I'm sorry I'm not familiar with this model

5. I think if the switchport parameter is here and connectivity seems to work, you can consider yourself safe

  • Compare Dot1Q and QinQ with access ports and trunk?

    Hi all

    How do you compare Dot1Q and QinQ with access ports and trunk?

    Thank you

    Sunil Kumar

    Hey, Sunil,.

    With regard to your questions:

    1. we have a case of Dot1Q configured on the port of access of habit?  If not, then why? - Dot1q aims to tag executives leaving the switch and access is opposite, it does not therefore not used together marking.

    2. how the topology would be for QinQ case? - For QinQ as I mentioned in my last post one side will be set to while links to access than others. A simple example is explained on this link:http://networklessons.com/switching/802-1q-tunneling-q-q-configuration-example/

  • Problem with Cisco ACS and different areas

    Hello

    We are conducting currently a problem with Cisco ACS that we put in place, and I'll try to describe:

    We have ACS related directory AD areas, where we have 2 domains and appropriate group mappings.

    Then we have our Cisco switches with the following configuration,

    AAA new-model

    AAA-authentication failure message ^ CCCC

    Failled to authenticate!

    Please IT networks Contact Group for more information.

    ^ C

    AAA authentication login default group Ganymede + local

    AAA authorization exec default group Ganymede + local

    AAA authorization network default group Ganymede + local

    AAA accounting exec default start-stop Ganymede group.

    orders accounting AAA 15 by default start-stop Ganymede group.

    !

    AAA - the id of the joint session

    But the problem is that with the users in a domain, we can authenticate, but not the other. Basically, the question is that when we check on the past of authentication, two authentications are passage and the display of 'Authentic OK', but on the side of the switch, there is a power failure.

    There may be something wrong with the ACS?

    Thank you

    Jorge

    Try increasing the timeout on IOS device using radius-server timeout 10.

    Do we not have journaling enabled on the ACS server remotely?

Whenever I try to perform the clean boot by using the options in the window manager and the configuration tasks system, when the computer reboots, everyone who opens are reset to zero and it doesn't work. I can also perform an update of the system. I want to just upgrade to 8.1 windows, but I'm not without the WS and NONE of the methods I have found work. I'm about to say the hell with windows 8 and make a downgrade from the system to an OS that actually works. I had nothing else problems since I bought this computer with windows 8. I don't have time to deal with these questions. It is clear that appropriate testing procedures were followed before the release of Windows 8. Please help, I am very frustrated with all of this.

    I also tried before asking this question. I don't know what happened, or how he did it, but the store has started working when I was on other networks, he didn't always works at home well. I finally download and install windows 8.1 and it fixed the issue together.

  • wrt160n with cisco pix and isa server 2004 config

    Hello

    I am installing a configuration to which my wrt160n router should work, but it is not at present

    .. the is the problem:

    Internet proxy - pix cisco - ms isa 2004 - 4 network cards <> lan1, lan2, dmz and wlan networks

    The wlan network card will only be my lan wireless for internet access interface. The isa server wireless lan nic has been configurered with an IP 10.0.10.1. / 24

    Configure the interface to internet wrt160n with static ip 10.0.10.2 / 24 and bridge 10.0.10.1 2 i'net addresses of dns.

    My dhcp server config is 192.168.100.x /255.255.255.0 and the same dns addresses i'net 2. NAT is disabled because isa server nat for all networks

    where is mistaken or do I forgot something... Help, please

    Activate NAT on the WRT or add a static route for 192.168.100.0/255.255.255.0 to 10.0.10.2 on your isa server computer.

    Of course, you only want wireless, there is not need to use the WRT as a router. You can set the WRT back to DHCP on internet settings. Set the address LAN IP of 10.0.10.2 with a mask of 255.255.255.0. Disable the DHCP server on the WRT. Then one of the LAN wire ports of the WRT to the ISA Server. Do not use the internet port on the WRT!

    Now, you have configured the WRT as simple access point. So you should use your ISA Server to serve DHCP IP addresses inside 10.0.10.0/24...

  • C220 M3 with Cisco VIC and shipped 1 g?

    Hello

    We have a pair of servers C220 M3 that we connected to a pair of tissue (6248) for the management of single wire through the VIC in 1225.  We also operate two 1 GB embedded cards, but it is a Windows 2012 bare metal server and does not see the additional interfaces.  The interfaces appear and connected to the switch downstream, so we know that they are enabled.  However, the operating system does not see the interfaces.  We have come the matrix compat for drivers, but it's as if the interfaces are not presented to the OS.

    I wanted to just make sure there isn't something else with wire management simple which "prevents" the operating system on the server to use these interfaces?

    Thank you

    It is correct. I have not tried this option by myself, but it's something that can be tried would work.

  • Compatibility of VLAN with Cisco

    Hello

    We just bought 10 x new Netgear switches (all M4100) to add to an existing Cisco infrastructure.

    Simple configuration with only 6 Valns.

    5: Admin, 30: VOIP, 101: management, 100: a set of Workstations, 102: second series of Workstations, 200: IPTV, 400: Internet, 401: Wireless Management

    All I wanted to do was: 2 last ports each switch netgear = T and all the VLANS. I have not identified all ports if I want to use in the appropriate vlan

    101 of VLAN is my Managementt Vlan. (Need to configure inter vlan routing for this to work)

    I only turned on three switches up to now and all three do not work. They work for a while and that packets but do not receive all.

    What I am doing wrong?

    What I need to get rid of the original vlan1 on the netgear?

    Is that what I need config in the STP to make these compatible with Cisco (300 and 400 series) switches.

    I use an optical backbone on Cisco and Netgear switches.

    Sincere greetings,

    Hi Moussa,.

    Thanks for reaching out.

    We got it working.

    Step 1: upgrade to the latest firmware.

    Step 2: Forget the MISTLETOE.

    We had a few questions about the old firmware - causing links to trunk have some incompatibility with their tag and removed the images between Cisco and Netgear brand.

    After the upgrade of the firmware that we had access to "switchport mode access" and "switchport mode trunk" orders fixing the access port and trunking issues.

    Thank you Mr President,

  • Attempt to connect wi fi on my Dell computer, running windows XP? Have DSL but not Ethernet. Faced with problems. Checked with CISCO router but not help there. CANY anyone help

    I have a problem connecting to a Cisco E100 router to my computer. My count (office) does not have a wireless. I have DSL from. Cisco tells me to plug a router using Ethernet cable to connect. I don't have an Ethernet connection on my computer. At present I have USB connect the computer to the Westell modem.  Can anyone help? I hope this is enough information. Basically what I'm hoping to do is to install the WiFi so I can use a tablet now and maybe a laptop this last on.

    Thank you

    On the routers only house you can use USB connections are those provided by some ISPs.  An Ethernet connection between the router and the computer is far more preferred.

    Your router a Cisco E1000 or is it really E100 (I thought that Cisco makes a model with this designation not)?

    It is quite surprising that you don't have an Ethernet connection that is built into your computer.  What is the complete model number (or, preferably, the Number of Service Dell)?

    Open the Device Manager (start > run > devmgmt.msc > OK).  Expand the "Network card" category by clicking on the + next to him.  What devices are listed in this category.

    If you don't really have an Ethernet or an adapter wireless built into your computer, you can add one, using a PCI internal (if you have a desktop/Tower computer) or external (PC card for laptops) or USB to laptops or desktop/towers.

    Also, the normal configuration is to connect your DSL modem to the router and then the router to the computer.  If your Westell modem has an Ethernet connection, you must use your new router in a non-standard configuration.  Even if the Westell modem has an Ethernet port, you may need to do some reconfiguration for her as well.  What is the complete model of the Westell modem number?

  • Cisco VUSB - Feature Suggestions (and some Questions)

    Hello

    I use with my EA4500 VUSB Cisco router wireless (N900) for my printer (Samsung ML-1915) USB.  It seems that I have had no problems with the installation and configuration with this on my PC Windows 7 games and my OS 10.8 MacBook Air.  But I noticed a few things that I would like to recommend as features to add.  Some of them are also questions, which I couldn't find the option/feature dethrone if so, please let me know where it is (if available).

    -(OS X specific) allow the application to run as one Menu Bar Extra (like DropBox and others).  No need to take place in my Dock when it's always supposed to be running... still have active and easily accessible from the Menu bar would be perfect.

    -If I start a print job in an applicaton, it tries automatically to conenct to the printer via VUSB?  Or should I always open VUSB app and connect manually to the printer before you start the print job?  This could be automated?

    -J' noticed that if a computer is connected via VUSB, that the other computer cannot connect.  Is there a way to run remotely on another computer, if not active?  Or, is it possible to set up a "timeout" If the VUSB connection has been idle for a period (for example, 5 minutes)?

    Otherwise, it seems that it works very well.  Using Hello Windows to print to my old Apple Airport has been a complete pain and never ended up working fully.  Really happy to find a solution that works with my existing printer and is easy to install on Windows and Mac.

    Seems I found the automatic connect/disconnect option.  In the lower left of the main window is two buttons, the left most button is 'Properties' (Alt + P is shortened).  There is a tab for automatic connection, and it seems that it is automatically enabled by default.  It has an option to confirm that the printer Connect Auto can be used... and there is an option on auto-déconnecter the end of the work.

    It is superb.  I don't need a print server, do not have the concerns of several jobs at the same time... just good to know that this feature is available and enabled, so I don't remember opening VUSB whenever I want to print something.

    Now hoping an update for the Mac version to move its icon in the menu bar.

    A recommendation more... I'd like a prompt/WARNING/reminder when I'm clicking 'Close' on the application, as I'm guessing that the VUSB always needs to be active in the status bar to enable this automatic connection to prnter to work.  I keep hitting the X to close (instead of reduce) when I'm checking the settings.

  • View of the horizon 3.5.0 and ThinApp v4.7 with Cisco ASA Smart Tunnel 9.3.3

    Hello

    The problem:

    Our technology smart tunnel doesn't seem to be forward traffic to our new customer from the view.  I wonder what kind of configuration changes must be considered to enable such a connection.  The error returned when searching for the host name goes in the direction of the hostname not found.  Error finding of intellectual property is related to the time-out.

    Background information and specifications:

    We are in the process of upgrading our servers from 5.2 to 6.2 connection.  As part of the upgrade, we want to improve our customers for the Horizon to use version 3.5.0.  To make it easier on vendors and remote computers we prefer also to our Horizon View Client with ThinApp 4.7.3 ThinApp.  We currently have a Cisco ASA, supporting a SSL VPN portal with "Smart Tunnel" technology.  The ASA is currently on firmware 9.3.3 in production, but we have access to version 9.5 in test.

    Preferred connection scenario:

    User > PC > VMware View Client (ThinApp would be) > Cisco ASA Smart Tunnel > view connection server > Virtual Office

    .exe running on the client to view ThinApp:

    It seems the ThinApp Client version view is only launching VMware - view.exe.

    .exe running from the customer view full/thickness:

    VMware - view.exe

    -ftnlsv.exe

    -vmwsprrdpwks.exe

    -ftscanmgr.exe

    There is something else to consider when the view client configuration ThinApp or thickness to work with Cisco SSL VPN Portal and the Smart Tunnel?  We should have ports configured in the client in connection with the same view Firewall works with SSL VPN Portal port redirector functionality.

    We have not been able to find any documentation on how to properly configure the smart to work with the New Horizon 3.5.2 client Tunnel.  A ticket of troubleshooting with Cisco suggests that the Smart Tunnel feature still perhaps not compatible with this new Horizon (thin or thick) client.  Currently, we are looking at other options because it is not not clear whether Cisco will be able to get us the confirmation or offer a solution without delay of our project to upgrade.  Maybe stick to the previous VMware View Client version 5.4.0 which we know work with Smart Tunnel in some situations and with the redirector port for others.

  • How config FCoe to work with esx4.1 and CISCO?

    Hello

    I installed a server esx 4.1 intended to test and we want to configure to work with FCoe.

    The Esx has a Qlogic 10 G card to do this, we have a problem with our network team.

    The cards are regognized as vmnic and my HC is on them, but we now want to make the connection on the

    Cisco side so that I could also see the storage.

    Is there a manual for config this thing on both sides? VMware and CISCO?

    is there something special, that I need the config on my side?

    I did not FCoE with Cisco, but I made many configurations with Brocade/VMware & Qlogic FCoE. It works like a charm. In this case, everything I do is:

    (1) plug the Qlogic card to the server & get the vmnic up & working with qlogic drivers (I think you are finished with this step, if you have not mentioned about installing qla & pilots qlge on the box of ESX. You all TWO qlge & qla drivers for the Qlogic fcoe card)

    (2) after step 1, you should be ready for the FCoE, you don't have to do anything once the ESX box came.

    (3) a last step to the area both the FCoE (QLogic) adapter with your target of FCoE in your Cisco box. With Brocade switches, all I have to do is:

    (i) set up the port connected as a "fcoeport" to get the connected port

    (II) create a box with 2 WWN & add this area to the cfg, & activate this cfg. That's all.

    I feel that you do not "installed the qlogic drivers (qlge & qla in ESX yet), just in case if you have not, here is the driver names you need (doesn't have to be exact, just look for the part"qlge"&"qla"):"

  • VMware in network bridge: Freezed host with WS6.5 and Windows Vista x 64 or Windows 7 x 64 host operating system

    Hello

    I have a problem with VMware Workstation 6.5 on 64-bit Windows host.

    First, I installed VMware Workstation 6.5.0 118166 on my x 64 Windows Vista SP1 host, and I had a weird problem when working with network on my host system, no matter there is a guest running or not. The problem is when I try to connect/disconnect from VPN connections or plug/unplug my network from my LAN socket cable, etc., host OS freezes suddenly with no answer to anything whatsoever, no movement of the mouse, without strikes, nothing.

    After sometimes, I installed Windows 7 Beta 7000 x 64 on my computer and have no problem with it until I installed VMware Workstation 6.5.0 118166 on it: the gel problem once again. I thought it may be a problem on this specific build of VMware, so I downloaded and installed the latest version (6.5.1 126130) on my system, but the problem persists.

    After playing with a large number of settings, I find that if I delete the service "VMware Bridge Protocol" of my network card, the problem does not happen.

    I searched the forum but I can't find anything like that, so I wonder if anyone can help me with that?

    My network card is an edge ' Realtek RTL8168B/8111 Family PCI - E Gigabit Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.0) b ' on my card mother Gigabyte GA-MA770-DS3.

    Other features of the system:

    AMD Athlon 64 X 2 5200 + CPU

    6.0 GB of RAM

    Seagate ST3500320AS SATA HARD drive

    nVidia GeForce 8600GT 512 MB video card

    Thank you.

    Which driver version you have installed for your network (NIC) card?   This link shows a version of driver Vista/Win2008 6.216 (dated 2009/02/26) available.  The same driver should work as well for Win7.

    If the above does not resolve the problem, view the properties for the NETWORK adapter and temporarily disable all 'Task Offload"or other characteristics"discharge"to see if that helps.
