set base IOS - Help

ilana_ilana · ‎10-23-2016

Hello all,

For core switch migration from old 6506 (running old set base IOS) to 6807, I have to create point to point layer 3 interfaces between both.

I have configured ip address in 6807 gig interface, but I don't know how to configure it in set base IOS. Can any help please ?

Also the old core switch is keep notifying following msgs, can any help how to stop them ?

Hello,

use the set command to configure the IP address:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps679/products_command_reference_chapter09186a00800d9f4d.html#4132

The fan error messages can be turned off by, as far as I remember, by changing the logging level:

6506(config)#logging console critical

Thank Gpauwen,

I been through this link before & it showed procedure to SC0 (management interface) and SC1 (Serial interface) not the physical interface. I have to configure physical interface as layer 3, for example in current IOS we configure l3 interface as:

interface gig 1/1/1

no switchport

ip address 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0

no shutdown

I want to configure same above in set base IOS switch, to have point to point connectivity & configure static route to point the next hop.

Any suggestions ?

Thank

From following link:

http://www.fryguy.net/2011/08/15/catos-and-ios/

"So, what is this thing called CatOS one might ask. Well, in short it is Cisco OS that is Layer 2 only; there are no routed interfaces, no IP addresses on interfaces (well, there is SC0) or IPs for VLANS – just L2 VLANS and Ports."

If there's no way to interconnect CatOS with IOS base switch via Layer 3, what alternate options we have.

If both connected using Layer 2 then we have to be careful about STP calculation. 6807 (IOS base switch) should have high priority so that it won't be part of STP calculations.

You can still trunk CatOS and IOS switches, only the Layer 3 needs to be done on an IOS module or switch:

Georg Pauwen · ‎10-23-2016

Sorry for the misunderstanding. For anything layer 3 related, you need either an MSFC, and that actually runs IOS. Does your 6506 have that module installed ? You cannot assign IP addresses to interfaces in CatOS (other than management addresses).

ilana_ilana · ‎10-23-2016

Unfortunately we don't have MSFC.

So did we left with trunking option to interconnect only ?

Indeed, trunking is the only option left...
