Good Morning,I setup 2 4500x 16 port switches with VSS for a distribution layer. However, Sw1 has been setup in the location without the 2nd switch. Can I simply add the second switch without interrupting service since it is the "standby" switch? T...
Good Morning,I setup a brand new 4500x 16 port Distribution switch with SVI's on it and they won't come up. The license feature is ipbase. I activated and accepted the EULA for the ipbase without activating and accepting the EULA for the iplan feat...
Good Morning,On 2 brand new "out-of-the-box" switches, I want to configure VSS for the distribution layer for redundancy. Do I have to configure the second switch too, or will it automatically populate off of the "priority" sw 1? Thank you in Advanc...
Hello,In my opinion, any network device that is considered obsolete is also considered insecure in today's world. If I am wrong, please correct me on this.If a Cisco 2950 switch that went EOL/EOS over 13 years ago is secure enough to put at the edge...

Jon,I did have a port configured for one of the VLAN's on the switch, but the end device was a older laptop so I had to set the speed to 100. I did the shut, no shut on all ports including the SVI and nothing.I'll try trunking to an access layer swi...
Hello,I am having a similar problem. However, my SVI's won't even go to the "up up" state. They are all at the "down down" state. As a result, the machine I have on the access port on the neighboring device can't ping any of the SVI's on the Distr...
