%CDP-4-DUPLEX_MISMATCH: duplex mismatch between 7206VXR to CAT 3750

Level 1

My remote site customer has a Cisco 7206VXR router (IOS 12.3(14)T3) connected to a Cisco 3750 switch (IOS 12.2(25)SEB4) seeing the following error:

Jul 7 14:32:18: %CDP-4-DUPLEX_MISMATCH: duplex mismatch discovered on FastEthernet6/0 (not half duplex), with 4IP_ORU_3750_1 GigabitEthernet2/0/1 (half duplex)

No changes to the routers and the 3750 was reloaded about a month ago.

set speed and duplex manually on both sides or set it "auto"

I thought the configs I have shown are manually set for duplex full on all interfaces involved. The speed cannot be set on the 7206VXR IOS version we have, but can on the switch, which was done. The show interface on the router does show the correct speed and duplex, but not on the switch.

on the switch

sh run int GigabitEthernet2/0/1

The initial GigabitEthernet2/0/1 is from a very recent "show tech". I don't have access to do show run int GigabitEthernet2/0/1, at this time.

I could have my customer set all the involved interface to "auto" and see if it does fix the problem. I am just a bit confused when you state to manually set the speed to 100/full when that was done in the first place.

Thanks for the input..

I have seen this situation before and usually it requires setting either both to 100/full or both to auto.

Not sure if it's required, but it's helped for me... do a shut for a few seconds (10+ seconds or so), then a no shut.

Are you sure you are looking at the correct ports on the devices ? Notice the following ,

interface GigabitEthernet2/0/1

description ORCPA1 F6/0

GigabitEthernet2/0/1 is up, line protocol is up (connected)

Hardware is Gigabit Ethernet, address is 0015.f937.8601 (bia 0015.f937.8601)

Description: ORCPA2 F6/0

Notice the description field is different is this a misprint? The description field should be the same as it is taken right from the config . Can you post a "show cdp neighbor detail"

Glen,

There are 2 routers involved that are seeing the same problem. I just gave one router's config and pasted the incorrect router's "show tech" output for the GigabitEthernet2/0/1.

The config is the same:

interface GigabitEthernet2/0/1

description ORCPA2 F6/0

duplex full

speed 100

I don't have access to the switch or router, at this time and will do the "show cdp neighbor detail" early tomorrow morning.

Thanks..

I have seen the same issue before - if you hard set the speed and duplex on a 3750 or some of the newer 3560s you will sometimes get them autonegotiating to half duplex. I have no idea what triggers it off. The solution has always been to set both ends of the link to auto speed and auto duplex.

It doesn't seem to be limited to the type of device at the other end either - I have seen the negotiation (when both ends are hard set to a speed and duplex) happen between the switch models mentioned and other switches, pcs and servers. The end hosts have been running Windows (various flavours) and Linux. So it just seems that those switches have some trouble when you tell then NOT to autonegotiate. It also seems to happen at varying times - sometimes immediately and others after a few days or weeks of error free running.

Hope this helps,

Peter

I have told my remote site customer to set both sides to auto duplex and speed, but won't be able to do it until off hours.

Sorry, I have jumped into this thread late. But you say ".. remote site ..." and that triggers alarm bells.

How are these two devices connected? Are they connected via some service provider? If so, they may not be as directly connected as you think they are. If that is the case, then the speed/duplex settings are more about your connections to the service provider than about the end-to-end connection between your two devices.

Could you give a little more detail please?

Kevin,

Sorry to have misled you, but "remote site" means that I am not local to the site. The routers are directly connected to the switch. There is no service provider involved.

Hi,

I have came accros that issue on 3560G platform. After several tests I found out that 12.2(25)SEB4 doesn´t work fine with duplex hardcoded when the switch boot up. It behaves like it was configured as "duplex auto" instead of "duplex full". Just try to replace that IOS. I've replaced it with 12.2(44)SE2 and it works fine.

Regards,

Eduardo.

P.S: IOS 12.2(25)SEB4 on 3560 platforms works fine , but not on 3560G platforms.

I cannot recall exact versions, but there were some versions of 3560/3750 code that had bugs that meant the configured speed/duplex settings were ignored after a reload, and auto was actually used. I am pretty certain the version you have is affected by those bugs.

To sort your problem you have two ways forwards. Set both ends to auto anyway, and they should negotiate 100/Full, or upgrade to a more cent version of software. There is a third option of both!

Given the age of your software, I woud suggest an upgrade may be in order anyway.

Paul.
