Cisco 3750G all links reset

Lingfeng Xiong

Level 1

I have a Cisco 3750G with routing enabled. Sometimes, I experience a situation: some clients computers are disconnected from the switch and then reconnected immediately. The whole things happened and ended within 5s. But it often happened, >5 times a day.

The log in switch shows:

Switch#sh log

I didn't see any problems here, just some interfaces are down and then become up again. This happened not only on this single computer, but on some other devices including a Apple Airport Exterem.

Anyone has any idea about this?

Thanks in advanced.

Hi,

What is the running config if those interfaces

show us the output of :

Show run int x/y

show int x/y

Add 'spanning tree portfast' to the interfaces where you have computers connected.

Thanks

Ankur

"Please rate the post if found useful"

Hi,

I updated my original post to contain the information you requested.

Thank you.

Regards, Lingfeng Xiong

Hi. The output has been updated to original post.

I didn't add 'spanning tree portfast' to any interface. Every time the computer disconnected, it resume it's connection within 5 seconds, and the port LED in switch keep showing Green. I believe the port does not enter 'down -> blocking -> learning -> forwarding' cycle in this case.

  Hi,

i encountered the same your problem on our customer network. Sometimes all uplink freeze and after 5 - 10 seconds replaces itself.

Our platform: 3 x WS-C3750G-24TS-1U stacked:

Software version and image:

12.2(35)SE5             C3750-IPBASE-M

Can you share yours?

Thanks

Pier

Hi.

I believe this problem does not occurred before I enable the routing function.

The information you requested has been contained in my original question, I updated it :-) (Only one standalone switch. No stacking)

Thank you.

Regards, Lingfeng Xiong

Post the output to the command "sh controller e GigabitEthernet1/0/13".

Hi,

Information updated at original post.

Regards, Lingfeng Xiong

Ok, no line errors detected for a switch uptime of four (4+) days. 

Do this:

1.  Command:  test cable tdr interface G 1/0/13;

2.  Wait for 7 seconds;

3.  Command:  sh cable tdr interface G 1/0/13; and

4.  Post the output to #3 BELOW. 

I updated my original post to contains complete output of those two commands.

BTW: I recalled this problem does not exist before I enable the routing function of this switch.

I have no idea if this is a coincident or not. Because this switch is currently used in a production environment, I cannot turn routing down for testing.

Regards, Lingfeng Xiong

There's nothing wrong with the cable.  There's no line errors. 

I'm looking at possibly the drivers of your network card could be an issue.

Hi.

I'm pretty sure that the NIC and driver is not the problem. This is because:

1. before connecting to this switch, this computer has been connected to other switches without any problem

2. the operating system has been reinstalled but problem still there

and

3. another Apple Airport Extreme which connected to this switch also experiencing this problem.

Thanks

Regards, Lingfeng Xiong

I'm pretty sure that the NIC and driver is not the problem.

Back in 2008, I had witnessed first-hand on how a brand new Intel GigabitEthernet NIC card reacts to legacy 3500XL switches.  No matter what IOS you've loaded on the switch the links will go down/up between 25 to 45 times per minute.  This will cause users very, very slow response.  The easiest way to fix this issue is to force the NIC card to negotiate to 100/Full. 

I am not saying to you have Intel NIC card but so far all suspects are on the table.  Your wired NIC card has not been ruled out. 

another Apple Airport Extreme which connected to this switch also experiencing this problem.

Hmmmm ... I'm reviewing the TDR result.  What kind of cable is this?  Is this a 1 metre cable?  Can you please change this?

Hi,

It is a one metre cable with text "Cat 5e PATCH --- UTP".

I'll try to replace it and see what happened.

PS: Althouth it's not a cat 6 cable, it works great when transferring files. The speed can exceed 105MB/s :-)

Regards,
Lingfeng Xiong

P.S.: I just updated the original post with Airport Exterme's port test result (Gi 1/0/15)

P.S.: gi 1/0/13 and gi 1/0/15 are different cables.
