having trouble setting up my 2950

Recently got a 2950 24 port to replace my "dumb hub". Figured it would be nice to practice my cisco on it.

I completely reset everything. atm, all I am doing is trying to set it up to be a dumb hub....

My network tri looks like   MODEM---->router---->Switch----computer

port 1 to router, port 2 is to laptop

I did this to it:

switch>enable

switch#config terminal

switch(config)#interface range fa0/1 - 24

switch(config-if-range)#switchport host

switch(config-if-range)#end

switch#write mem

My current running config:

Current configuration : 2275 bytes

!

version 12.1

no service pad

service timestamps debug uptime

service timestamps log uptime

no service password-encryption

!

hostname Switch

!

!

ip subnet-zero

!

ip ssh time-out 120

ip ssh authentication-retries 3

!

spanning-tree mode pvst

no spanning-tree optimize bpdu transmission

spanning-tree extend system-id

!

!

!

!

interface FastEthernet0/1

switchport mode access

spanning-tree portfast

!

interface FastEthernet0/2

switchport mode access

spanning-tree portfast

I have tried setting this thing up the last few days with no luck. I can only console. It never pings when tryin gto setup the vlan. open to any ideas or suggestions. Would like to get it working for http/telnet, but setting that i figured out how to do. Just my switch never talks to my router....

the int Vlan 1 is shutdown, that might be why switch and router cant connect n ping.

int vlan 1

no shut

but as for the switching itself, this shouldnt be an issue!

what's the ip addresses of the PC and the router? do you have good physical connections?

Hope it Helps,

hi brian,

you want to ping your switch from the router? if yes, did u set up an IP address for ur switch?

can you ping ur router from ur computer or thats disconnected too?

HTH,

plz Rate if it helped,

i did not setup an Ip. I have tried to do that before witn no luck. I know how to set it, just it never seems to connect to my router.

at this point, All I want it to do is act like a hub.

you have a Management vlan, by default its Vlan 1. you go to interface vlan 1, set an ip address in ur segment's ip range, and there you go. thats because you have Layer 2 switch. Only one ip address n its for management purposes!

interface vlan 1

ip address x.x.x.x

exit

Hope it Helps,

Soroush.

conf t

write erase

and power cycle.

You need to setup a management ip on vlan 1

Config t

Int vlan 1

Ip address 192.168.0.2 255.255.255.0

Sent from Cisco Technical Support iPhone App

Why do I need to setup the Vlan if I only want to use it as a hub? Isn't the vlan for admin use only??

I did it anyways:

Switch>en

Switch#conf t

Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.

Switch(config)#int vlan 1

Switch(config-if)#ip address 192.168.2.2 255.255.255.0

Switch(config-if)#exit

Switch(config)#exit

still have the same issue. computer connected to switch won't connect to the lan.

router does not see switch, switch won't ping the router....

interface Vlan1

ip address 192.168.2.2 255.255.255.0

no ip route-cache

shutdown

!

ip http server

!

line con 0

line vty 5 15

!

!

end

I have completely reset this switch a few times....

the int Vlan 1 is shutdown, that might be why switch and router cant connect n ping.

int vlan 1

no shut

but as for the switching itself, this shouldnt be an issue!

what's the ip addresses of the PC and the router? do you have good physical connections?

ok, forgot to do a no shut, did that.

It does work now. To be honest, I think my issue was the switch was still plugged into my old hub, then to the router.

either way it is working now!

now to get the web interface working and I'll be a happy camper!

the hub is a transparent device, so it shouldnt make a difference, unless its damaged.

btw glad its fixed

mark the question as answered, helps others with similar issues find an answer.
