Hello, In my company, we are using Cisco IP Phones 7945G (with 2 gigabit network ports) and Cisco 3560X-48P (1GB ports) switches for our users. Our client computers are running on Windows 7 SP1 (64bit - Enterprise edition) and are connected behind the IP Phone. We use a "Boradcom Xtreme Gigabit" onboard network card on the computers. All ports (on the switch site and IP Phone side) and on the network card of the computer are configured in "auto negotiation". Duplex and speed are set to "auto". We tried now to deploy a new engineering software and we are facing a very strange problem. This means that the engineer software fails to download some files from the server. We are using a flat network, all the servers and computers are on the same network segment with no firewall inbetween. The firewall and Anti-virus on the computers are configured to allow all incoming/outing connections. To troubleshoot, I tried to change all the network cables but I still get same result --> download fails. I connected the client computer directly to the Cisco 3560X switch, without the IP Phone and I get the same result. I installed a separate network card from INTEL (Intel PRO1000 PT) but I get the same result. As last test, I have connected to same client computer directly to a Cisco 2960-8TC switch (100Mbit; auto negotiate) and here is working fine. The software successfully downloads all the files from the server. If I connect the computer behind the Cisco 7945 IP Phone, set the speed and duplex of the PC-Port on the Cisco IP Phone 7945G to "100MBit/full duplex" is also working fine. Is there any know issue with Windows7 and Gigabit network connections? Do I need to set any Registry key on my Windows 7? The firmware version of my Cisco 3560X-48P switch is 12.2(53)SE2; do I need to update it? The firmware version of the IP Phone 7945G is 9.2.1. Thanks in advanced for your help. Marc Hoffmann ...

Hello, I have a stack of 4 Cisco Switch 3750 (1 x WS-C3750G-24T, 2 x  WS-C3750-48P and 1 x WS-C3750V2-48PS) and I want to do an firmware upgrade of this stack. Actually, all the 4 switches are at the firmware version 12.2(50) SE1 "IPBase" and I want to upgrade them to 12.2(55)SE5 IPBase. According to the release notes, all the switches in my stack are supported. To upgrade the firmware, I use the command "archive download-sw /imageonly /overwrite t ftp://IP_Address/c3750-ipbaselmk9-tar.122-55.SE5.tar " The firmware gets uploaded correctly but then I get the error message "There is insufficient space in flash: to install the required image. Clean up some old images, and try again." When I do a "show flash", I see that the switch has 5650944 bytes free of 15998976 bytes. How can i upgrade my switches? Is there an error in my command which I use? Do I need to add an other option? The problem is, the switches are located in a branch office and there is no direct access to them. Everything must be done remotely. Thanks a lot in advanced. Best regards, Marc Hoffmann ... View more

Hello, I was using CiscoWorks LMS4.0 on a Windows server 2008 R2. Now I wanted to do an upgrade to the newest LMS 4.1 version and in the same time switch to the new Linux soft appliance. After that I copied all the backup data to the appliance, I launched the "restorebackup.pl" script and unfortunately got the error "The Backup archive is from WINDOWS . But the current OS is UNIX. Restore is not supported across OS." Is there eventually any possibility to however migrate the data to the appliance?? As Cisco is offering the 2 platforms, there should be a possible migration path! Thanks a lot in advanced for your help. Best regards, Marc Hoffmann ... View more

Hello, I am running CiscoWorks LMS 4.0.1 since 6 months and I wanted to generate today a report about the interface utilization on 2 Cisco switches (Catalyst 3750G). The corresponding job is created, it runs and then i get "succeeded with info" in the "Run Status" column. When I want to click then on the "View Report" link, I get the following error: "Could not generate the report. Either data is not available for the specified duration or the report job failed." I tried the same procedure with 2 other switches but I have got the same result. Does anybody has an idea of how I can fix this issue? Thanks a lot in advanced. Best regards, Marc Hoffmann ...
