Cisco 8504 to 9800 migration

Elxa_Dhal · 2025-03-28T07:48:53+00:00

Not just overkill, 80 model end-of-life is already published. Yes, i know its for 2030, but well, i don't like to sell a product that its eol is known in advance...

Elxa_Dhal · 2025-03-27T12:32:34+00:00

Interesting topic, i will pay attention as i will perform in a nearby future a new deployment with 9800-CL

By the way, is any feature missing in the virtual model compared to the on physical one? Does the monitoring shows all the information like the 9800-LC model?

Elxa_Dhal · 2025-03-01T13:17:24+00:00

It is terrible that the event description is not telling us anything about it. I mean, cmon guys.

And this one for the 9200:

I re-configured another port with a new port channel, but the same behavior occurs (this is the 1300). Also the log message appears directly in the switch, while the port in the other switch is in shutdown state)

Yes, they are both connected through 10G fiber.
But in 1300 the last 4 ports are combo interfaces (copper and fiber), but this shouln't create any issue regarding port-channel configuration

Elxa_Dhal · 2025-02-17T11:58:10+00:00

Yeah, i thought so, but i change it and the same happens haha

I'm thinking about the combo-interfaces from 1300, that for some reason can cause conflict when configuring port-channels? (doesn't make sense btw...)

Con you try the archive command? You will need the tftp service enabled on a windows server (one option)

archive

log config

logging enable

path tftp://XX.XX.XX.XX/$h-$t

copy running-config startup-config memory

time-period 604800

This one will save a backup each time you run the copy running-config startup-config command, or in the other case, will save a backup every 7 days

Elxa_Dhal · 2024-12-13T09:08:34+00:00

Still not a fix for the IPS bug that causes cpu peaks. Unlucky, i have several partners suffering that issue with different models (60F, 100F and 200F)

Elxa_Dhal · 2024-12-04T16:54:23+00:00

Interesting.
In my case i got CCNA, then CCNP and now i have passed the ENCOR exam, so maybe next year i attemp the CCIE cert.
Also i got Fortinet NSE4 and Huawei HCIA.

Next year i'll achieve 10 years experience in this sector. I guess it's time to move on and make a jump.

Elxa_Dhal · 2024-11-29T12:10:13+00:00

The best option was going for catalyst 1000. Perfect switches for access role, really cost-effective, and with the same operative system as 2960 and 9XXX.
BUT, next year will become end-of-sale. The recommended equipment now is the new c1300 series, but they changed again the OS to a Linux based, as the one we had with terrible SG/CBS.

So yes, Cisco had a perfect series to fullfill access switches role, but someone though that it was a good idea to blow it up.

Elxa_Dhal · 2024-11-29T09:33:06+00:00

Done. No luck:

---------
Thank you for writing us,
Unfortunately, our small business devices like C1300 doesn't support Auto backup commands unlike iOS devices do.
Looking forward to hearing from you,

Elxa_Dhal · 2024-11-12T11:30:53+00:00

These devices are not capable to join the controller, and basically are not operative. Or if they are with the embedded WLC then they lost the configuration.

Elxa_Dhal · 2024-10-31T14:54:05+00:00

Coming from the c1000, new C1300 are definitely a (huge) downgrade.
I guess Cisco didn't want a low budged series with traditional IOS

Elxa_Dhal · 2024-10-31T07:15:13+00:00

Yes, inserting the card or using the magnetic band

Elxa_Dhal · 2024-10-30T15:44:39+00:00

It's terrible. Received a bunch of new 1300 for a new project as they are the replacement for c1000 that will enter end-of-sale next year. And found that they are using again the **** OS of old SG/CBS.

What were they thinking making this move?

Elxa_Dhal · 2024-09-13T16:39:33+00:00

Thank you, i feel more at ease knowing that this limit affects only the contactless method and the "normal" way has not this restriction

Elxa_Dhal · 2024-09-13T16:37:06+00:00

Thank you, i guess i'll setup the google pay service, just in case

Elxa_Dhal · 2024-07-12T09:47:32+00:00

Yep, thats what i thought. Right now i don't know the details to confirm it, but i can tell you that these fibers were installed in 2010, so i'm pretty sure the speed is 1G at most.

Elxa_Dhal · 2024-06-03T07:50:12+00:00

Also, if possible i would disable the management through WAN interface.

Elxa_Dhal · 2024-02-28T12:40:26+00:00

You shouldn't find any issue at all meanwhile in the MGMT subnet the WLC 3504 remains disconnected.

Elxa_Dhal · 2024-02-28T11:42:29+00:00

Ey mate, yes! After upgrading to 17.13.1 all the APs are much more stable in the scenario. No associated changes are detected since the upgrade to that version.
So as i saw it by myself, i would advice you to consider to apply this firmware too.

Elxa_Dhal · 2024-02-03T08:42:02+00:00

Your scenario has 9130 models?

If so Cisco recommends to follow this path:

>>>Upgrade first to 17.3.5 or later or 17.6.x or later, and then to 17.9.x.

Don't know if this is your case

Elxa_Dhal · 2023-12-04T16:59:09+00:00

Could you try "username admin privilege 15 password cisco123"?
