Cisco Switch IP Address Assign

Please post the output of a "show run" after you have assigned the address.

Also, it would help if you could post the output of the session (where you enter the commands).

Hi DonJohnston,

Thanks for your comment, please see the output below.

Did you first enable routing by using this command?

Switch(config)#ip routing

I think I had to do that on a similar Catalyst model.

Your output seems cut off.  After you type show run, make sure to scroll all the way to the bottom by pressing the space bar.

Make sure when you're in VLAN 1 configuration type no shut.

Here are some more troubleshooting commands: From global exec type show ip interface brief, does the IP address show up there for VLAN 1?  Also do you have a trunk port or access port between the router and the switch (default is auto negotiate)? Use show interface trunk to view active trunks, and show interface status to view the mode of all ports.

Edit:

Just noticed you have a switch cluster.  You will have to configure your VLAN 1 interface from the cluster master.

Hi,

Basically can I erase all configurations in this switch and do a factory reset?

I have followed the below link to reset the switch and have tried to assign the IP again, but still no luck.

http://www.oleksiygayda.com/2009/02/how-to-reset-cisco-catalyst.html#!/2009/02/how-to-reset-cisco-catalyst.html

Any help please? Also I have given the dir flash: results after follow the reset procedure in the above link, if that helps.

Thanks in advance.

Shalindra, have you tried all of the suggestions posted above?

Hi Keno44,

Sorry, I missed your comment. I have tried it now. But it return an error. Do I need any additional details on this comand.
Here is the output,

WC3_Cisco_3524(config)#
WC3_Cisco_3524(config)#ip  routing

                           ^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

WC3_Cisco_3524(config)#
WC3_Cisco_3524(config)#ip  route

% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

Thanks

I just read a post that the 3524 does NOT support L3 routing. Trying to confirm...stand by please....

Your switch is configured as a cluster member, you will have to make the configuration changes from the cluster master.

Your switch is a 3524XL, end of support since July 27, 2007. It cannot do any ip routing, it's layer 2 only.

The IP address is probably configured correctly, it seems that you have problems with the scrolling. You might have a look at the settings of your terminal program or try another one. If you want to see the part of the config file with the ip address do the following:

show running-config | begin an1

The config is shown beginning with the line "interface vlan1". The IP address should be visible now. I cannot remember the command on the XL switches that allowed to suppress the scrolling, on newer switches it is "terminal length 0" but I doubt that you can use it on your device.

I concur with MAT1458. If you in fact have a 3524, it will NOT support routing. I am suprised that in your initial post, it appears that the switch accepted the 'ip address' command.

Best of luck.

K

Well keno44, you still can set one ip address for management purposes on these type of switches. You can assign them to whichever vlan that you use as management vlan.

Ah, thanks for that..

Cheers - K

So I presume all these answers mean I cannot use this switch to re-configure to install a new network for a new subnet mask, is that so?

Thanks

Your switch is configured as a cluster member, you will have to make the configuration changes from the cluster master.

Shalindra...Not exactly true...

If you want, you may still create several VLANs on your switch and attach hosts from different subnets to the switch. BUT these hosts will not be able to talk to each other.

If you want to accomplish routing between hosts from different VLANs, you would also need a separate router in the mix. You would then create a trunk port on your switch and attach it to one of the router's interfaces (e1) and then configure routing at the e1 interface.  

K

And to answer your question about the factory reset, please enter:

erase startup-config
reload

Then all config is gone and you can start from scratch.

Hi mat1458,

I have run the commands above and reloaded, but still in the configurations, it shows as a cluster member.

B8zs - I don't have the cluster master switch with me, is there any other way to delete the config and get this switch to factory default?

Thanks
Sx

Hi mat1458,

Well....it seems to be that has removed the cluster. Here is the output and I will wait for your reply before proceed anything.

Looks better. With "show cluster members" you could see if the cluster still exists. The output should be somethng like "no cluster exists" or similar.

You still seem to have your scrolling problem over the console port. Define the ip adress on the box and telnet or ssh to it. you then should be able to see the entire running configuration.

Hi mat1458,

Do you recon any good freeware? I am using hyperterminal and have tried to connect with PuTTY, but it is not working.

Also here is the output of the 'show cluster memebers' command



WC3_Cisco_3524#show  cluster



% Not a management cluster member

WC3_Cisco_3524#

WC3_Cisco_3524#

I have again assigned the IP address, save and reloaded. But still show run is not showing any IP address?

I have also connected a cross-over cable and connected to a laptop, but the network port of the laptop is disconnected still.

Any comment?


Thanks
Sx

Also I have ran 'show interfaces' command and it return the following, if that any help.

The reason why you don't see the ip address on vlan 1 is because your terminal emulation sends something that interrupts the scrolling on the switch. The configuration of the interface is there but it comes below the no ip domain-lookup.

Connect our PC with a straight cable (no crossover) to interface Fa0/1, give it an IP address in the same VLAN as the switch and the try to ping it. If the interface is up (green LED) you should have no problems with pinging and maybe telnet-ing to the switch afterwards to have a look at the running config. In the telnet session it should work fine.

Maybe issue a "show interface Fa0/1" first to see if the interface is not admin down. If this is the case do a no shutdown of this interface.

Hi mat1458,

I have followed your instructions and managed to ping to the router and alsoI have logged to router from web interface.

So the problem is sorted now and many thanks for your help on this.

Chopped liver over here.

You're very welcome. Thanks.
