I cant get a new module fitted to a cisco 4507 switch to be be seen by my snmp monitor?

Question

I have added a 6 port fibre card to a 4507 hot swap style. I cant power the switch -what a shock. And its not sending the new cards detail in the MIB but the existing ones are being sent. Any idea how I force ithe switch to re-evaluate the hardware and ammend the MIBs

Thanks for the effort guys but I dont want to repower the switch. the server owners would have a snit fit at the thought. And Ive used a mib browser (what a headache) to ensure the traps dont contain the info. Any other offers???

Answer 1

First of all make sure that the 4507 is seeing the card. One of the answers you received was incorrect in that the modules are not hot pluggable. If you insert a supported module into a 4507, then the 4507 will begine "seeing" the card and you should be able to start configuring its interfaces.

You can determine whether the 4507 recognizes the card by entering the show module command from command line enable mode. If its supported, and the hot insertion worked properly then you should see the module and its software rev information etc, in the output of the show module command.

I have had difficulty at times with online insertion actualy working correctly, and its quite possible that at some point your going to have to schedule a matinainance window and reload the switch, if the users want the card to work.

If you reload the switch and you still aren't seeing the card it is possible your current supervisor engine does not support the card, in which case you'll need a newer sup or an older card. I have had problems with Sup 2 engines on 6500's and Sup 4 and older cards in 4500 series not supporting some of the newer fiber cards available for those products and have to do a supervisor upgrade. You didn't specify what version of IOS that you have on the 4500, so it is also possible that if its been around for a while, that the IOS rev that your using does not upport the new card, in which case you'll need to upgrade to a newer rev. The easiest way to figure all this out is simply to open a TAC case, send them your hardware configuration and they will verify whether your hardware is supported. If you don't have a CCO account you should get these answers from your local Cisco SE.

Answer 2

Power cycle the switch - or reload the IOS. Modules are hot SWAPPABLE, but are not hot PLUGABLE to the best of my knowledge. The Cisco guru down the hall agrees.

Try www solarwinds.net for a free MIB utility test drive. At the price of that dude, don't take chances. This is a little deep for the average geek.

i'm a Druid. For those unfamiliar with Druidism, we are the further medical area of Wicca. shall we cope with each and every element in my opinion. Bookstores are bookstores. each and every follows its personal regulations. i detect that those who record Pagan books in the hot Age section in a number of of situations have a poor decision. After notifying the administration of their mistake, i do no longer patronize that shop back. I somewhat have not in any respect had YA advise mythology. perhaps this is because of ways the question replaced into worded. bear in mind, the alternative of the position the question is going is carried out by technique of computer. It recognizes particular words. Misconceptions? OH YEAH. P*SSES ME OFF. Pagans/Witches similar? definite, i'm getting a touch miffed at stupidity. i do no longer do "stupid". yet, it is the position for them to ask, and study. authentic faith. in a number of of situations i attempt to inform them of the U. S. structure, the U. S. military, the VA, and the hot Jersey college gadget. The structure guarantees freedom of religion(First Ammendment). the U. S. military is including Pagan "Chapels" to three of their bases. Jails now have Pagan Chaplains. The VA (with the "help" of Selena Fox, Circle Santuary, and woman Liberty League) has approved the pentacle on the memorials of yankee squaddies. Youtube has a astonishing video of the ceremony on the memorial of "Wiccan Warrior" Sgt Pat Stewart. I somewhat have stuff kept about each and every aforementioned conflict. in case you want, i visit e-mail it to you. contact me quickly The satanism element might want to not in any respect flow away. too a lot Christian bags. In Philadelphia, my Witches team is about to "sparkling out" a house. A "satanic" altar replaced into discovered by technique of a sparkling tennant. in my opinion I dont believe that devil exists, yet, persons do. This conception supplies upward push to all styles of different manifestations. regrettably, on YA, the overall rule is "P*ss on each and all and sundry elses beliefs." back, thats no longer gonna flow away quickly. definite, i'm getting p*ssed, yet there have been some situations at the same time as i somewhat HELPED someone. That makes it "all extra constructive". an fairly empowering feeling. Dunstan, A Druid Ovate (instructor) i really loved Safyres remark about Paganism having its personal section.....and that i AGREE.
