Bias-Free Language

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

IA client maximum values for Catalyst 6840-X switch:

Value Description:
Maximum Value

Maximum IA client ports

1500 ports across 32 Catalyst 6800ia access switches

Maximum IA client switches

32

Maximum Catalyst 6800ia access switches per IA client stack

5

  • An IA client stack acts as single switch unit.
  • Instant access only supports connection with stacking cables to form a stack.
  • With an IA client that has multiple Catalyst 6800ia access switches, the switches in the stack assign incrementing switch numbers to themselves (automatic stacking capability).
  • If you add Catalyst 6800ia access switches to a configured IA client, the additional switches assign incrementing switch numbers to themselves.
  • The IA client configuration does not persist if the access switch number changes.

Description

CSCuu19178

cat6000-l2-infra

In c6840x, the maximum supported MTU for Native Interface is 9154. This is not the same when we compare it with other series like 6880-X or Sup2T. The maximum MTU for 6880-X or Sup2T series is 9216. When we peer a c6840x with 6880-X or Sup2T, we need to ensure that the Peer(6880-X or Sup2T) MTU is not set greater than 9154. If peer is configured with MTU greater than 9154, the c6840x would not be able to process this traffic and will be dropped as per the current design. This is applicable to all c6840x series.

CSCuv21279

cat6000-l2-infra

 

n c6840x series, the default value of MTU is set to 1500 for IA interface. 6880-X and Sup2T had 9216 default MTU which was changed in c6840x. This is applicable to all c6840x series. When we use existing configuration from 6880-X or Sup2T, we need to make sure the MTU is reset or removed (Incases were MTU is set other than 1500) so it defaults to MTU 1500. The Max MTU that can be configured on a FEX host port cannot be greater than 9154 which is as per Design.

Troubleshooting

These sections describes troubleshooting guidelines for the Catalyst 6500 series switch configuration:

System Troubleshooting

This section contains troubleshooting guidelines for system-level problems:

  • When the system is booting and running power-on diagnostics, do not reset the switch.
  • After you initiate a switchover from the active supervisor engine to the redundant supervisor engine, or when you insert a redundant supervisor engine in an operating switch, always wait until the supervisor engines have synchronized and all modules are online before you remove or insert modules or supervisor engines or perform another switchover.
  • If you have an interface whose speed is set to auto connected to another interface whose speed is set to a fixed value, configure the interface whose speed is set to a fixed value for half duplex. Alternately, you can configure both interfaces to a fixed-value speed and full duplex.

VLAN Troubleshooting

Although DTP is a point-to-point protocol, some internetworking devices might forward DTP frames. To avoid connectivity problems that might be caused by a switch acting on these forwarded DTP frames, do the following:

  • For interfaces connected to devices that do not support DTP, in which trunking is not currently being used, configure interfaces with the switchport mode access command, which puts the interface into access mode and sends no DTP frames.
  • When manually enabling trunking on a link to devices that do not support DTP, use the switchport nonegotiate and switchport mode trunk commands, which puts the interface into trunking mode without sending DTP frames.

Spanning Tree Troubleshooting

The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) blocks certain ports to prevent physical loops in a redundant topology. On a blocked port, switches receive spanning tree bridge protocol data units (BPDUs) periodically from neighboring switches. You can configure the frequency with which BPDUs are received by entering the spanning-tree vlan vlan_ID hello-time command (the default frequency is set to 2 seconds). If a switch does not receive a BPDU in the time period defined by the spanning-tree vlan vlan_ID max-age command (20 seconds by default), the blocked port transitions to the listening state, the learning state, and to the forwarding state. As it transitions, the switch waits for the time period specified by the spanning-tree vlan vlan_ID forward-time command (15 seconds by default) in each of these intermediate states. If a blocked spanning tree interface does not receive BPDUs from its neighbor within 50 seconds, it moves into the forwarding state.

Note We do not recommend using the UplinkFast feature on switches with more than 20 active VLANs. The convergence time might be unacceptably long with more than 20 active VLANs.

To debug STP problems, follow these guidelines:

  • The show vlan virtual-port command displays the number of virtual interfaces.
  • These maximum numbers of virtual interfaces are supported:

 

 
MST
RPVST+
PVST+
Per-switch limits:

100,000 total

12,000 total

15,000 total

Note Cisco IOS software displays a message if you exceed the maximum number of virtual interfaces.

  • After a switchover from the active to the redundant supervisor engine, the ports on the redundant supervisor engine take longer to come up than other ports.
  • Record all spanning tree-blocked ports in each switch in your network. For each of the spanning tree-blocked ports, record the output of the show interface command. Check to see if the port has registered many alignment, FCS, or any other type of line errors. If these errors are incrementing continuously, the port might drop input BPDUs. If the input queue counter is incrementing continuously, the port is losing input packets because of a lack of receive buffers. This problem can also cause the port to drop incoming BPDUs.
  • On a blocked spanning tree port, check the duplex configuration to ensure that the port duplex is set to the same type as the port of its neighboring device.
  • On trunks, make sure that the trunk configuration is set properly on both sides of the link.
  • On trunks, if the neighboring device supports it, set duplex to full on both sides of the link to prevent any collisions under heavy traffic conditions.
