The Catalyst 2960 G switch configuration

Is it possible to configure a Catalyst 2960 G Switch to act as / be an unmanaged (no router) switch?  If so, please provide detailed and simple instructions.

Hi @lcbalogh1,

I think that these switches are not routing compatible, but one thing... What you want to do is to have the switch set in a single broadcast domain (all ports in the same VLAN), right? If so, follow these steps:

  • Disable the routing features with the configuration command global "don'tno ip Routing.
  • If the first command is not accepted, type the "No dsm prefer lanbase-routing.

These two steps above to disable the routing features.

OK, to mark all the ports of the members of the same VLAN, you have a few options:

  • You can leave all the default ports VLAN (VLAN 1)
  • Or, you can configure all ports in another VLAN different
    • switchport mode access
    • access switchport vlan id - vlan>

Hope this is useful for you.

Rgrds,

Martin, computer scientist

    Have you run wireshark on the server because the request to switch? If so you make sure that there is a response from the server? For Windows network POLICY Server (I've never tried Centos), you must ensure that the request is related to a policy which then authenticates, or denies access. Usually, it is a matter of such attributes and the seller.

    Regarding the configuration, it seems a bit out of the AAA. Try to remove the:

    line "aaa dot1x group service radius authentication" and this by using instead:

    "aaa dot1x default radius authentication group". After the dot1x word you are supposed to provide a list of the authentication or the default Word if you do not want to use a list.

  • The proSafe (JGS524E + GS116E) Switches: Configuration Management Web GUI in VLAN specific

    Hello

    I use a JGS524E and a GS116E. The two are connected via a 802. 1 q uplink with all defined VLANS in him.

    A 802. 1 q other interfaces goes to a pfsense firewall, which serves as a router and dhcp server for each VLAN that I use.

    How can I configure the switches plug are in one VLAN specific and get his IP address of the dhcp server in this VLAN?

    At present, it seems to be random access: it is not predictable that range from intellectual property, it takes its IP configuration via dhcp...

    How management function works internally?

    Thank you

    Markus

    Hello

    Thank you. I tried it out, but the behavior seems to be a little different:

    I configured a static IP address for the switch (10.1.0.13 / 24). I have access to the switch web gui via the ip address of the host of a host directly connected (connected via a trunk port, where I put 1 VLAN on the trunk), but it is all the same, what VLAN that I use:

    When it is connected to the VLAN 1 I have access, but also through 10 VLANS, VLAN 20 and so forth (assumed, I configure my computer appropriate staticly in the IP network, for example 10.1.0.20 / 24). So it seems not be limited only to the VLAN 1. You have access to each vlan, only the IP configuration must be in the same network.

    I'm not sure, how it behaves when cascading the two switches, I have not tried.

    If this information can be useful for other users with the same question about this switching product line.

    For me, this behavior is not very well implemented from my point of view. For security reasons, you must limit access to the administration, for example by allowing access from a specific hardware port or a vlan. With the effective implementation, centralized management for a cascade topology is not easy to set up, perhaps because the behavior is not very clear and not documented in the manuals.

    Mentioned on the edge: there is no available TLS/SSL encryption when accessing the web gui (not https). So the password is transmitted in clear text... not a very good idea, I think.

    Thanks a lot for your help.

  • The virtual switch configuration

    Hello

    I configured Vswitch on ESX4.0 connected with a teddy bear.

    There are Cisco catalyst 4503 L3 switch configured with several VLANS at the other end. I have configured the switch port trunk with dot1q encap mode that ends on the ESX4.0 server. Service console is configured with IP default VLAN, which is accessible from the other VIRTUAL networks. One of the virtual machine with Win2k3 OS is installed, but after configuration, I am not able to ping default gateway of VLAN respective or any other property intellectual VLAN.

    Can anyone guide me where I go wrong and how to correct the problem?

    Set the Group of ports to the VLAN specific you want the virtual machine to be on.  Do not put any VLAN ID in the virtual machine, just plug it into the port group.  If you have other virtual machines, or other on this virtual machine network interface cards that need to connect to the other VLAN create other Port groups for each VIRTUAL local area network required.

  • IviSwitch loses value when sending, "configure the switch" configuration = TRUE

    Hi all

    We are currently assessing Teststand 4.1 with a multimeter keithley 3706 switch system.

    After a first enthusiasm, thinking this tool with the meter switch fits perfectly our needs, real life seems difficult.

    Between several other problems, we must say to the device, the channel "s1com1" and "s1com2" are strings of configuration.

    Configure the teststand step: change the switch step IVI-> IVI, switching, configuration switch: channels "s1com1" Configuration = True

    led to observable in both actions in Ni Spy:

    GetAttributeViBoolean (..., "s1com1", _IS_CONFIGURATION_CHANNEL, VI_FALSE)

    SetAttributeViBoolean (..., "s1com1", _IS_CONFIGURATION_CHANNEL, VI_FALSE)

    manually call to this function of the interactive a CVI fp class works as expected (the VI_TRUE updated)

    Is there any hint that we could do wrong? Currently, we are just before writing wrappers in cvi and jump all the wonderful Types of IVIStep in teststand.

    Looking forward to any comments

    David-

    This would have the same problem we discovered recently in our internal tests. For the problem that we found, we will probably include our fix in a next corrective patch. You can check if the problem persists if you change your locale in English in the control panel? If the problem no longer occurs, can you use this as a workaround for now?

    Thanks for the additional information. When the switches are stacked, they act as a logical switch. Then when you plug with an OFFSET you are basically creating a loop and hook up a switch on himself. Desempilement switches and just use the OFFSET for the interconnection of the switch and you should see the GAL go active.

  • Web authentication Catalyst 2960

    Hello

    I am trying to configure Web authentication relief on a catalyst 2960 switch. The goal is to authenticate customers via web authentication that are consistent (the part of 802. 1 x works fine) not 802. 1 x and allow them access to the network. The problem is that the web authentication seems to fail.

    The equipment about my question: switch catalyst 2960 (version: 122 - 37.SE) and a FreeRadius.

    Here's what happens:

    The authentication window will appear in my browser and the access request is sent to the RADIUS.

    The term RADIUS replies with an Access-Accept. Debugging running on the switch show that all this information is coming properly authentication and switch outputs debug a 'status = PASS' and permission to debug outputs a 'status = PASS_ADD'. Despite this the browser on the client generates a message "authentication failure".

    I have read the manual and the Cisco attribute value pairs are mentioned: ' priv-lvl = 15' and «proxyacl...»» ». They are required to make it work? Given that I'm not setting up any authentication switch connection via RADIUS.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance

    Yes, they are mandatory.

    If priv-lvl = 15 is not returned to the switch, the user will see? Authentication failed? and the access list will not apply. If the source in the statements of proxyacl field is not? everything? or there are other errors of syntax, the user will see? Successful authentication? but the access list will not apply and the user will be denied access to the network.

    Not sure about the configuration of specific FreeRADIUS, but you need to set up the? [026\009\001] Cisco av pair VSA. It should look like:

    Priv-lvl = 15

    proxyacl #10 = ip permit a whole

  • Dot1x multidomain on Catalyst 2960

    Hello

    I improved my 2960 with the latest basic version of LAN 12.2 (46) which includes the authentication of domain Multi (MDA) and I tried to configure what is described here:

    http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/Tech/tk389/tk814/technologies_configuration_example09186a00808abf2d.shtml

    I have the following exceptions in my configuration:

    (1) SE - cat 2960 with the latest version of IOS 12.2 (46) that supports the MDA;

    (2) using the Win2K IAS as a server radius. and

    (3) third party (Avaya) with active begging dot1x IP phone. I have a PC with ability to dot1x connected to the second port of the IP phone.

    That's what I set up on the phone IP port:

    interface FastEthernet0/9

    switchport mode access

    switchport voice vlan 222

    I also configured the server Radius IAS Win2K to send RADIUS 'cisco-av-pair attribute' tell the authenticator (Cisco Catalyst 2960) that a supplicant (IP phone) is authorized on the voice VLAN as described in config-notes above link.

    When the supplicant IP phone starts to authenticate, he succeeds, but that the port does not allow the field of VOICE, even though the 2960 receives the attribute "cisco-av-pair" of the Radius Server RADIUS. I confirmed the reception of this attribute of debugging on the switch.

  • 6248 FI Cisco's UCS with Cisco catalyst 2960 connectivity

    In our environment, UCS, connects the two fabric as a Cisco Nexus 9 k switch upstream with vPC and it works well. But we need to isolate some virtual servers on the blades of the UCS on an entirely separate DMZ switch which is Cisco catalyst 2960.

    (1) so can we connect cables separate physical twinax of FI uplink ports to catalyst 2960 and connectivity to the servers in the DMZ keeping YEW to nexus connectivity as it is?

    (2) in this case, as there are 2 switches to nexus core 1 and 2 so we will require 2 cisco catalyst 2960 for disjoint such a network? or otherwise we can connect A FI and FI B to one on his 2 numbers 2960 switch. Gig SFP ports + 10?

    (3) also suggest things must be taken in charge, the best guides practice or an illustration in this context.

    The assignment is static and cannot be changed.

    If a property has no blade, the corresponding uplink is not used and that can not be changed!

    Depending on the type of traffic and bandwidth customer requirements demand, you might need a couple more of ap which means you may have to settle for a switch of 24 ports. Cisco recommends 15-25 users by so, but still, you can have more if it's just e-mail and web browsing.

  • Button Mode Catalyst 2960

    Hello

    Can someone tell me a method of turning off the function of the Mode button on a catalyst 2960 to stop this reboot of the switch after being detained for 10 seconds? Even with a config full on the switch, the function "reset" always seems to bypass the config and clear/reload the switch.

    Is it possible to disable this feature in the software?

    Please please need your help.

    Thanks before.

    -The VRRP VLAN must be the same on both switches.

    -That the master switch must have control of the track in place.

    -The connection between the switch and the firewall must be that it is own VLAN and does not part of VLAN VRRP.

    Here is a diagram that I put in place, it could help clear up some confusion.

  • Cannot create the IPv4 Interface on switch SG300-20 entries

    It is a brand new switch, mode of L3, and I am connected to port 5. By default, all ports are VLAN1 (management) defined as the PVID and are defined in trunk mode. I can connect without problems, and nothing else is connected to the switch.

    I did a master reset (via the web interface and button reset for 20 seconds) several times, and every time I try to assign an IP address to a VIRTUAL LAN on the page located at IP Configuration > GPI and Interfaces > Interface IPv4, I lose connectivity to the switch and it should be reset.

    I make no changes to the VLAN1 (management) or the port I am logged in, but the problem persists. My switch is bad? Thanks in advance.

    Hello Terry,

    It is done, your switch has several types of IP addresses,

    -static IP address (you set this)

    -dhcp (a server or router that sets)

    -default (if neither of the other is defined) 192.168.1.254.

    If the sg300 or 500 device has the default IP address and add another IP interface (on a virtual LAN or on a port), it will determine that static or dhcp is the management interface and the address 'by default' won't work any more.

    The workaround for this is:

    When you configure layer 3 routing on a sg300 or switch 500, once the switch is in mode l3, you must:

    1 - give each VLAN interface a static IP from vlan1.  This can be the same as the default 192.168.1.254, but I recommend to choose another address where you decide to add another switch in the future.

    2 - before you set an IP address on the new VLAN, assign a port of access to the new vlan (so you can move your desktop to this vlan) management if necessary.  management of VLAN--> belonging to a vlan port.  Once you assign the ip address and your management interface goes far, move your pc to port on the new virtual local network, give it a static and reconnect to the new IP address.

    3. use the cable from the console and CLI to configure the interface vlan, as the console port does not go down, or lose connectivity when configuring a VLAN.

    Hope this helps,
