Cisco 7606 - cannot assign ports to VLAN

[thejackalhas1]

Hello all:

I have a Cisco 7606 that I am testing with and it has the following modules installed:

2 - WS-SUP720-3B

2 - WS-X6748-GE-TX

The interfaces are up and the VLAN's are configured and active.  The problem that I am running into is that when I assign a port to a VLAN it does not show up afterwards when I use the "show vlan brief" command.  The ports that I assign are not there.

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks for your help.

Hello John,

C7600 and C6500 defaults to L3 interface

you need to use switchport command to make a port a L2 interface:

interface gix/y

switchport

switchport mode access

switchport access vlan N

Hope to help

Hi Giuseppe:

I have done this and it works fine but the ports still do not show up when I use

the sh vlan brief command.  It just states that the VLAN is active.

There is nothing under the section output labeled ports.

Hello John,

What does the output of the show int giX/Y switchport say?

Best regards,

Peter

Hi Peter:

The output is as follows:

Name: Gi3/1

Switchport: Enabled

Administrative Mode: static access

[Peter Paluch]

Hello John,

Hmm, that is strange. Giuseppe, any idea about this? I find it strange that a port recognized as a static access port does not show up in the show vlan brief output.

John, one more experiment: what would the command show vlan id VID say? (Replace the VID with the access VLAN number)

Best regards,

Peter

Hey Peter:

Here is the output from the sh vlan id command:

Cat7606#show vlan id 10

What IOS are you running ?

If 12.2SR can you post output of "sh vlan all-ports"

also the output of "sh interface gi.. switchport" that you posted, was that the full output ?

Hey Jon:

I am running version 12.2(18)SX

The sh interface Gi output is the full output.  This is really

strange.

Actually, just checked and "sh vlan all-ports" is supported under 12.2SXF.

Can you post config of switchport.

Also, do you know if it actually works ie. does it actually place the port into the right vlan, just doesn't show it in the config ?

Finally can you post "sh module"

Jon:

I have tested the physical ports but they do not even light up when I physically connect them.  Here

is the output from the sh moduel command: see attached.

I really appreciate your help with this.

Hello John,

all the first three linecards are in power deny state and also the daughter cards DFC 3C. the Sup is 720 3B.

Try to reboot the system, there is a recent thread about this issue with mismatching type of PFC and DFCs on linecards

Clearly in this situation you are "provisioning" ports that are not alive.

the show module must provide status OK for the linecards and their associated DFCs

Hope to help

Hi Giuseppe,

I think we three of us were typing messages at the same time...

You are correct as the modules are in pwrdeny state. Strange part is how is john able to configure those ports and put them in vlans... I think those ports should not be shown in running config.. rite?

Dear John,

Can you please post the output of entire "sh ip int brief"

[Talha Ansari]

Well this sounds a bit strange... Lets start by cheking the vlan.dat in the 7606 router. This file is stored in nvram. You can check it by :

# dir const_nvram:

If you have previous backup of this file and no new vlans are added then compare the file size of the existing file with the backup one.

Did you check this : when you assign a port in a particular vlan and connect a link onto that port, does that port stay amber or does it turn green?

You may also test this : create a svi with unique vlan id and check its status in "sh ip int brief" it will stay down unless you create a vlan in the database with the same id of which you created the svi. After you create the svi... create the vlan in the database and the svi should turn up if you have any trunk port on which this vlan is allowed, else for testing purpose go ahead and assign a port in this vlan and connect a machine in that port.

check the output of

"sh vlans"     ----- dont forget the 's' in vlans

"sh vlan brief"

"dir const_nvram:"

post these outputs if possible...

hope this helps...

Hello Talha:

There  is no light when I connect the ports I am using for the VLAN testing.  Attached is the output from

the following commands:

#sh vlans

#sh vlan brief

#dir const_nvram

Thank you for your help,

John
