RE: Terminal server and Cat6509 [7:14535]

2001-08-01 Thread Rich Mallory
No one has mentioned it yet but make sure that the little pin beside the 6509 console port is in the "in" position. This position allows the rollover cable to work. This position will also allow the 2620 cable to connect directly to the 6509. If this doesn't work it is likely a config issue on the

Interesting, I didn't realize that the 1900's did not change the rev number to 0 when the VTP domain name is changed. Just another case of switch/OS version having a different behavior. I'll have to remember that or I'm sure it will burn me some day. Unfortunately, I will only have the 6509's for

Please no piracy discussions, VTP is much more constructive and there are never enough good switching discussions going on. :-) I'm glad you said it first. From my experience it doesn't matter if the switch is in client or server mode. On a client switch if the revision number is higher than the

In this situation the VTP server switches will not share information. One of the server switches will propagate the VLAN information that it knows to the other switch and overwrite the database even if the other switch is a server. In this case you could have set VLAN 10 and 11 on both switches th

I totally agree. In fact, in highly redundant situations, with dual core switches, it is a good idea to have both of the core switches in server mode. The highest revision number always wins. Changing VTP information on one of the server switches will propagate throughout the network including the

Depends how far you want to extend it. RS-232 will only go about 50 feet. To do that you can just use a straight thru cat-5. To extend further we use a blackbox fiber modem. ME600A-FST. RS-232 on one end and ST on the other. I'm not sure the exact specs but we have used them to extend 300 + yard
