Cisco documentation states the following.... ************************************************************ Understanding Network and Campus Dependencies For User Tracking to display user and host data, the Campus must collect this data. The Campus device discovery can collect data only for...

Keep in mind that cdp is the protocol used to "discover" the topology of the network. If your links are not showing up between devices, make sure that cdp in enabled on your uplinks. As for the 3560s, I'll be adding a handful of these to my network soon and will check this out. You may need...

CW wants an 80Gb partition for the database, but your 650 devices will not need nearly that. Depending on the number of modules/solutions you use and how often you purge your database, I don't see you needing any more than one gig of space. "Be the packet."

We're all faced with the same issue once new devices are found and added to the Device and Credential Repository. Open the DCR and perform an export of the database. Open that file in notepad and insert all of your credentials. Save the file (do not use a file extension) then import it back...

I've recently deployed Campus Manager and am looking forward to its ability to track end users. I'm not so much concerned with usernames right now as I'd first like to simply track MAC addresses. When I run the user acquisition feature, it finds nothing. My thoughts have been that this is...

Upon the reviewal of some older configs, I noticed that the 'previously deleted' vlan had always been configured to the port on the core switch. It didn't give any errors until the reload of the access switch because when the two switches attempted to negotiate the trunk link, the access switch...

In the recent past, I had deleted a given vlan from our VTP server thus removing the vlan from all client switches in the network. Last week I did an upgrade to the IOS on one of our access switches and lost connectivity with it upon the reload. A physical inspection of the access switch...

What is the size of the network? Are you aware of all your machines? Is the user receiving any "ip address conflict" error messages? It could be that another machine on the network (or someone is bringing in an outside machine) is configured with that same address and is kicking...

I guess the question that needs to be asked is whether or not this link has ever been operational or is this a brand new setup? Do you not have access to the config of the router on the other end? If it has been up in the past, then what has changed? "Be the packet."

This link will direct you on how to recover the password. As for where the public and private ips go, the 65.x address is already configured on the WAN interface. That one should not be changing. All you'll need to do is reconfigure the 10/100 LAN interface to follow the new private IP...

Just to let everyone know, it was as I presumed earlier. Once I configured the 3550 to use dot1q, it worked....interesting. "Be the packet."

Unfortunately, I won't be able to post the configs due to legal reasons, but I believe I found the answer last night digging around on Cisco. It appears as though the 2950s are only capable of using 801.q encapsulation, conforming to me finding that I was unable to set the encapsulation...

One of my co-workers suggested this theory... The parent 3550 has a maximum of 254 VLANs. The new 2950 has a maximum of 64 VLANs. If the VLAN numbers that are in the parent 3550's database are all....for example 100 and higher, does that have anything to do with the 2950's in-ability to see...

Anyone have any issues setting up trunking between a 3550 running 12.0 and a 2950 running 12.1? Earlier today I built a 3550 running 12.0 and successfully set up trunking with another 3550 of the like. VTP information was passed and I was able to configure ports for each of the different VLANs...

I've got a 6509 running 5.5(16). Is the "configuration" the only one? Like with IOS, you have a running-config and startup-config. With CATos, how do I ensure that if the switch needs to be reloaded, that it'll boot with the right configuration? ...swimming in the bit bucket...
