I know this is going to sound rediculous but I need a second opinion.  I have a Cat6506.  There were 2 Sup 720 in it for redundancy.  They told me they had problems with this thing in the past needing to go out and reboot the machine.  I need to go out periodically because it goes into ROMMON.  I type boot and it comes back up.  One time though neither one would reboot.  I had to take a third one out there and reconfigure it.  Now it is starting to do the same thing.  One thing I did notice is they never connected it to an UPS.  It is plugged strait into the wall with power going to two outlets.  I am beginning to think there are spikes in the power occurring and this is sending it into ROMMON.  Can someone confirm this? ...

The mac-address for the BVI on the wireless bridge is not attaching itself to the interface on the 6513 switch.  We recently changed the vlans at the campus.  At first I thought I had a vtp pruning problem but ended up being a spanning-tree problem.  This got fixed yesterday.  Everything worked fine until this morning. Now I can't even ping the WAP.  There are 2 vlans on the bridge.  The other vlan has 3 mac-addresses attached at the interface.  My BVI on the management vlan is not.  I have tried resetting the port and even moving the cable to a different port.  I still get nothing.  When I do a show arp on the switch that does the routing for the school I get the mac-address but when I do the show mac-address-table I get nothing.  When I console in on the WAP I can't ping out from it.  I attached the bridge config on both sides.  The one I am trying to get to has the BVI 1 ip address 10.60.0.222. When I check the interface to both the 6513 and the WAP both show up and up.  And there are packets being sent over on that native vlan. But I think this is only because of the connection to the other side.  It does show that both sides of the bridge are connected. Any ideas? ... View more

We are having to change our IP structure and I came across a problem with the vtp pruning. I have been configuring our WAP 1231 with new vlans for the ssid.  I create new sub interfaces for the radio 0 and fa0.  This is the first time configuring 2 access points that we use as bridges.  I changed the vlan on it the same as I changed the other WAPs.  This time though the Cat 6513 on one bridge and the Cat 3750 on the other side are both pruning my management vlan.  This 6513 is not the root primary for any of the vlans.  It is connected to the root. Here are some of the show commands: Dwight-IDF4-6513-140#sho int trunk Port      Mode         Encapsulation  Status        Native vlan Gi1/43    on           802.1q         trunking      100 Port      Vlans allowed on trunk Gi1/43    8,83-84,100 Port      Vlans allowed and active in management domain Gi1/43    8,83-84,100 Port      Vlans in spanning tree forwarding state and not pruned Gi1/43    8,83-84 Port Gi1/43 should not be pruning vlan 100.
