Hi. I am not able to configure 4k vlans in this switch.   Running "cat4500e-universalk9.SPA.03.06.00.E.152-2.E.bin" and getting this error..   "Proposed configuration exceeds the limit of 2048 VLANs that can be supported on this platform. Maximum of 1043 extended VLANs can be created."   I have configured 'spanning-tree extend system-id', but i still fail to do this.   I must be missing something? Does the 4500 have different hardware profiles for routing/switching or something?     Regards Andreas             ... View more

Hi. We are running asr9006:s as backbone nodes. We have mstag accessrings wich connects different acces switches through out the network. We have been running this for a long time (3 years). After we upgraded from 4.1.0 to 4.3.3 we are experience som strange behavior on some of the vlans running accross the mstag. Let me try to explane.. One of the vlan is connected to 2 asr9k in a accessring. The particular vlan is configured betweeen the two 9k:s with bridge grops and bridge- domains according to our standard setup for the backbone. Both routers have a configured bvi for this bridge-domain, both configured equally, but one of them is in shutdown mode. Suddenly we are experiencing packet drops and we are unable to ping end nodes in this specific vlan wich is routed at the bvi The problem is intermittent and seems to last for a couple of minutes before it starts to work again. While troubleshooting this problem i noticed that if we disabled the bvi on one router and enabled it on the other, the problems disappear.  Changing back (activating the bvi on the first 9k), makes the problem come back again after a while. All pseudowires and mstag check commands indicates that the bridge-domain and access ring is ok. Since we have been running this setup for a while i am beginning to think this is a 4.3.3 bug. But why does the other router handle the situation?   Any ideas?     ... View more
