Weird problem in Dynamips IOS 3640.

Very weird problem with my lab here..

Any ideas???

Grym

Do you have the interfaces in the same VLan

say with switchport access vlan X

Here's a config for multiple vlans but it should help in getting your "switches" setup:

NetworkGod

yes, they're in the same vlan (vlan 1 native)
and i don't see how vlan could relate to CDP..
CDP is enabled on both switching modules

Grym

Well i was thinking that because both the interfaces are down from your show int, "physically" you have a cable going from one to the other but for some reason the interface is still down.

Yea sorry, haven't played that much with the NM-16ESW, when I get to work today I'll fire up your config and see if I get the same results.

Grym, the interfaces are up, they're just not synchronized. it doesn't matter though, because CDP rides on layer 2, so just so long as there's a physical connection it works.

Grym

Ok, so here is the setup I used:

###############
[[ROUTER SW1]]
###############
console = 2004
disk0 = 0
disk1 = 0
model = 3640
confreg = 0x2102
ram = 96
mmap = False
slot1 = NM-16ESW
F1/0 = SW2 F1/0
#f1/2 = R2 E0/0
#f1/11 = SW2 f1/11
#f1/12 = SW2 f1/12
#f1/13 = SW2 f1/13

###############
[[ROUTER SW2]]
###############
console = 2005
disk0 = 0
disk1 = 0
model = 3640
confreg = 0x2102
ram = 96
mmap = False
slot1 = NM-16ESW
#f1/3 = R3 E0/0

The only change I made is I took out the SW1 on switch 1, as it gave me an error when I started Dynagen.

So I just made the one change to your setup and everything seems to working as it should.

Ahh, ok, so even if the int says UP/DOWN it should see the other switch in show CDP neigh, good to know for troubleshooting.

Thanks Paul

Hm, do you mind telling me what particular 3640 image did you use?
maybe dynamips is bugging out with my image?
I should try another one...

Grym

C3640-jk9o3s-mz.123-14.T7.bin

I do extract the image first, which should not really matter other then for loading time.

One other thing that I did not mention is that I did no other config to the ports to get it running...

NetworkGod

HA! Would you believe this?
It did not work, until i took your config word to word and pasted it to mine.
Now it works, i'm happy.

Grym

Cool, glad to hear it, have fun with your new switches
