Stacking a Cisco 3750 Switch

I've stacked Cisco 2960 and 3650 switches before but now I was asked to configure and stack a Cisco 3750 switch. The Cisco 3750 has built-in StackWise ports and use a StackWise cable. A Cisco 3750 switch can be stacked with other Cisco 3750 models. Here's a good link that shows the difference between a Cisco 3750-X, Cisco 3750 V2, Cisco 3750-G and Cisco 3750-E switches.

Below is a Cisco 3750 StackWise stacking cable.

There are two StackWise ports (STACK 1 and STACK 2) found at the back of a Cisco 3750 switch which is protected by a plastic cover.

Below is a Full Bandwidth connection setup.

I still didn't see Switch 3 joining the stack so I tightened its StackWise cable. I looked at the LED status lights and Switch 3 is still sees being the MASTER. I've observed the SYST light was blinking and it took Switch 3 a few of minutes to auto reboot and joined the stack.

Cisco 4331 Router IOS and License Upgrade

I've configured and installed Network Interface Module (NIM) and PVDM module on a Cisco 4331 ISR router on my previous post. Now I'll share the steps on how to perform an IOS upgrade and install a feature license on a Cisco 4000 series router.

I also needed to activate an evaluation (90-day) appxk9 license to support the MPLS commands on the Cisco 4331 router. The datak9 is the equivalent license in Cisco ISR G2 series routers (1900, 2900, 3900).

PRODUCT  FEATURE  CONSTITUTES  YOUR  FULL ACCEPTANCE  OF  THE FOLLOWING
TERMS. YOU MUST NOT PROCEED FURTHER IF YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO  BE BOUND
BY ALL THE TERMS SET FORTH HEREIN.

Use of this product feature requires  an additional license from Cisco,
together with an additional  payment.  You may use this product feature
on an evaluation basis, without payment to Cisco, for 60 days. Your use
of the  product,  including  during the 60 day  evaluation  period,  is
subject to the Cisco end user license agreement
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/general/warranty/English/EU1KEN_.html
If you use the product feature beyond the 60 day evaluation period, you
must submit the appropriate payment to Cisco for the license. After the
60 day  evaluation  period,  your  use of the  product  feature will be
governed  solely by the Cisco  end user license agreement (link above),
together  with any supplements  relating to such product  feature.  The
above  applies  even if the evaluation  license  is  not  automatically
terminated  and you do  not receive any notice of the expiration of the

Cisco for your use of the product feature beyond the evaluation period.

for each software  feature you use past the 60 days evaluation  period,
so  that  if you enable a software  feature on  1000  devices, you must
purchase 1000 licenses for use past  the 60 day evaluation period.)   

Activation  of the  software command line interface will be evidence of
your acceptance of this agreement.

Password Recovery on a Cisco 3650 Catalyst Switch

I had to reconfigure some used Cisco 3650 switches from a previous deployment but wasn't able to login using known passwords so I had to perform a password recovery. I've been doing password recovery on Cisco 3560 switch which is identical on other switch platforms, but the password recovery for a Cisco 3650 is a bit different. The CONSOLE port is found at the back and it's the top most port (look at LED arrow pointing upward).

The MODE button is found in front and it's a small black button beside the Cisco logo.

I chose to completely wipe out the switch, re-configure it and tested again by rebooting and the startup-config stored in NVRAM remained intact.

Installing PVDM4-64 and NIM-2FXS on a Cisco 4331 Router

I went to the Land of Smiles, Bangkok Thailand, the second time around and was hired to setup an office IT network that uses a Cisco 4331 router. I took a side trip after it was done and visited Wat Pho, which is one of the many Buddhist temples in Bangkok. This temple is known as the birthplace of the traditional Thai massage and it houses a huge reclining Buddha. Thai cuisine is amazingly good! I had Phat Thai (or Pad Thai), which is their famous stir-fried rice noodles, and Green Chicken Curry.

The Cisco 4331 is Cisco's latest ISR router in the 4000 series. The 4000 series routers are said to be 4-10 times faster (and cheaper) compared to the ISR G2 series routers. Here's the initial bootup process and startup-config. It now uses the IOS-XE which is Cisco classic IOS that runs on a Linux platform. There's also no need to issue a write erase and reload commands just to remove the default configurations such as the one-time username "cisco", ip http access-class 23 (used for HTTP/CCP) and transport input none (used on VTY lines), which locked me out of a router a few times.

These are the pictures of the front and back panels.

There's a dedicated out-of-band management port GE0 in front. It uses the default forwarding VRF Mgmt-intf, that can't be changed.

The serial number pull-out label is found at the back which is a bit long and foldable.

The Cisco 4000 uses a fourth generation Network Interface Module (NIM) cards, which is long and NOT supported on ISR G2 routers (such as 2900 and 3900). Below is a NIM-2FXS card that I've installed.

To install a PVDM4-64 module, you'll need to remove 6 small screws: 4 on top and 2 on the sides.

The Cisco 4331 router has only 1 PVDM slot which is found between the 3 heat sinks on the left of the picture.
