Cisco WAN :: 2950 BGP Trunk Not Working
Oct 6, 2011Telco provided a BGP connection on MPLS network. When I connect router directly to Telco switch I can see BGP neighbor, so my router BGP config is OK. However, I need to put this router in a diffferent building and want to bring the connection over on a 'trunk'; now I loose the BGP neighbor. I'm sure I did this before and it worked OK. I'm trunking between 2 x2950 switches using this config on each switch. [code]
I also configured the trunk as vlan 1214, which is the encapsulation provided by the Telco (dot1Q 1214).

Is it possible to upgrade the CSACS-1121-UP-K9 to be a non upgrade part? We were going to upgrade from a Windows 4.x to the above Appliance (version 5.x) but there is now a reason to keep the old Windows version running therefore we cannot give the new Appliance the old ACS's licenses?!So we should have (with hindsight) bought a fresh version of the ACS 5.x rather than an upgrade.

Cisco :: 2950 Network Management Software Options

When you would use each and if there are any gotchas or limits to watch out for?

Cisco WAN :: 1841 / 2950 / Unable To Connect To The Internet?
Feb 24, 2011I'm unable to connect to the internet?My university gave us student permission toset up a cisco lab. I hve an 1841 router and a 2950 catalyst switch in a single room. Fa0/1 is conncted to the switch using a 192.168.3.0 /24 network. DHCP is correctly assaigning ip addresses to the switch.
I connected the Fa0/0 port to the wall and used the following command to obtain an ip on the Fa0/0 port: ip adress dhcp. I used the following route command: ip route dhcp. That didn't work so I used the ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Fa0/0.When I run the sh cdp neighbors command I see a multilayer switch that show me connected to the Ga2/26 port with ip:192.168.179.254.I also see that the default vlan is 200 and the voice vlan is 800.

I am relatively new to all of this so if you need me to post more information from the hardware let me know and Ill put it up. There are no firewalls in place and I know the cables are good because I switched them around to make sure.

Cisco Infrastructure :: 2950 - Implement IP SLA On Layer2 Switches?
May 24, 2006I am trying to implement IP SLA. Can I implement it on layer2 switches?
We are trying to update a switch we bought to the latest IOS using the Cisco Network Assistant but the it is failing becasue it's saying we don't have the space.In the CLI we get,
Switch#dir all-filesystems
Directory of flash:/

No space information available
How do we clear all this out to make room for the new IOS. We are trying to install ( c2950-i6k2l2q4-mz.121-22.EA14.bin ).
Use CLI directly to upgrade your IOS. Not sure why the Cisco Network Assistant is refusing to upgrade your IOS. Yes, it would need to delete the current image and store in the new one but that is how the upgrade is supposed to happen.
Try the follow steps -
- Place the new image on a network server into a folder that is accessible either via HTTP, FTP or TFTP from the switch. Let's assume it is HTTP (recommended).
- Verify that the switch can ping the server.
- Use the delete flash:c2950-i6q4l2-mz.121-22.EA1.bin command to delete the existing IOS image from the FLASH on your switches
- Use the copy http://X.X.X.X/some_path/c2950-i6k2l2q4-mz.121-22.EA14.bin flash: command to copy the new IOS image from the HTTP on the server X.X.X.X (replace with appropriate IP address and path) to your FLASH
- After the transfer is complete, enter the global configuration mode and enter the command boot system flash:/c2950-i6k2l2a4-mz.121-22.EA14.bin to configure the switch to immediately boot the new image
- Exit the configuration mode, save your configuration, reload your switch
