hi mohamad,
do you try to ping from the CLI of the switch to the pc? if yes, try it vice versa as maybe the firewall of the pc is blocking the ping. you can also disable the firewall for the test on the pc.
can you post the output of the show interface command for the interface where the pc is connected to.

dear fiokii,
yes i did ping from both sides but request time out.
i was surfing the doucment of configuration of 4500 series and i fund out the following, pls let me if i am correct to do the following commands,
The Ethernet management port, also referred to as the Fa1 or fastethernet1 port, is a Layer 3 host port
to which you can connect a PC
If you want to use Fa1 port for TFTP operation, configure the Fa1 port as the source interface for TFTP
as follows:
Switch# ip tftp source-interface fastEthernet1
* i guess i should clear the config of interface vlan 1 and instead of that configuring the interface fastethernet1 with the same IP_Address 192.168.1.1/24 and then input the command which is :
Switch# ip tftp source-interface fastEthernet1
the above command might give me the access to the tftp server which installed in my PC and then i get connectivity.
let correct if am wrong , am gonna do the above right now and will see the result.
the following task to do are the follwing :
1- clear the config of interface vlan 1
2-configuring the interface fa1
3- input the command Switch# ip tftp source-interface fastEthernet1
4-configuring the PC in the same subnet 192.168.1.100/24

MJ

Hi Mohamad,
This management port doesn't rely on VLAN. You'll need to configure a static ip address on the fa0 (lets say 192.168.1.2/24). Once you've configured, you should be able to ping the interface from your laptop/pc (192.168.1.100/24).
The input command for the tftp is correct.
HTH.

Terence
11-03-2011 02:58 AM
Terrance,
Thanks for your input.
I did the tftp coomand as the following ;
#ip tftp source-interface fas 1
#interface fast 1
#ip add 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
# no shut
Then , PC ip address is;
192.168.1.100/24
Gateway is 192.168.1.1
I ping from CLI but no chance , request time out.
I ping from PC to switch. YES i got reply.
The. WhT could be the problem?
11-03-2011 03:08 AM
Hi Mohamad,
Arent you using 192.168.1.1/24 on interface vlan 1??
In case you've cleared vlan 1, then you might have a firewall issue on your pc as suggested by florian.
Regards,
Terence
11-03-2011 03:29 AM
Terrance,
I cleared the vlan 1 config with coomand no ip address.
NOte that without ip routing coomand the PC cant reqch the switch
Also i found something while booting,
In the rommon mode, u know that u configure the ip address and subnet mask and tftp server ip addresses, actually i did configure them thru romon mode with different ip range addresss, i guess now it is conflicting with configuration i made thru normal mode.
What do u think? Am confused :s
11-03-2011 03:57 AM
Terrance,
Shall i erase everything ans start again..
Then what is the orooer command to do so ?
Ijust wanna clear all the miss and start with fresh switch.
11-03-2011 04:05 AM
Hi Mohamad,
Nop i dont think so. The issue is that you're unable to ping your pc from the switch. You'll need to sort out this issue before troubleshooting tftp.
Have you check your firewall on your pc?
and also post sh int fa1

Terence

and about the firewall settings, i did the following:
windows firewall > turn windows firewall on or of > i make it off
and am connecting point to point to switch.
let me know what shall i do in order to upgrade the software ?
am not able to get connectivity from the swich to the PC , it sounds really wired issue but surly there is something missing,
am on site actually and whaterver in your mind, pls let me know
11-03-2011 04:58 AM
You should be able to do the following . Step A , turn off any pc firewall before you begin anything . You are using vlan 1 as your management , by your config the following ports are in vlan 1 ,
1 default active Te1/2, Gi1/3, Gi1/4, Gi1/5
Gi1/6
Plug your pc into one of those gigabit ports 1/3 -6 . Give your pc a address in the vlan 1 address range 192.168.1.X , your pc nic gateway will be 192.168.1.1 . On your tftp software on your pc make sure you are pointed to the correct directory where your image is stored . If using windows verify your address setup on your pc . From a DOS command prompt issue ipconfig /all . This will give you your nic addressing setup, if correct try pinging the default gateway 192.168.1.1 . If it pings start your download to bootflash: .

Dear glen,
The 4503 have 2 modules, supervisor6L-E where I have two uplinks X2 SFP module, the other one is SFP12-E .
All the ports are SFP modules for connectivity between edge and core switches. The only Ethernet port is the management 10/100/1000 MGT where I pluged my PC to it directly.
What other things to do ?
11-03-2011 09:10 AM
hi mohamad,
if you cant ping the pc from the CLI of the switch, but you can ping the switch from the pc then i guess there is still some security software on your pc preventing the ping.
if the settings on the switch would be wrong then the ping wouldnt work at all.
check your anti virus software. can you connect your pc to another pc and try to ping again?

Florian
