Troubleshooting

Unusual Network Activity

For more help, refer to the documentation provided with your TACACS+ server application.

Unknown Users Allowed to Login to the Switch. Your TACACS+ appli­ cation may be configured to allow access to unknown users by assigning them the privileges included in a default user profile. Refer to the documentation provided with your TACACS+ server application.

System Allows Fewer Login Attempts than Specified in the Switch Configuration. Your TACACS+ server application may be configured to

allow fewer login attempts than you have configured in the switch with the aaa authentication num-attemptscommand.

TimeP, SNTP, or Gateway ProblemsThe Switch Cannot Find the Time Server or the Configured Gateway .

TimeP, SNTP, and Gateway access are through the primary VLAN, which in the default configuration is the DEFAULT_VLAN. If the primary VLAN has been moved to another VLAN, it may be disabled or does not have ports assigned to it.

VLAN-Related ProblemsNone of the devices assigned to one or more VLANs on an 802.1Q­

compliant switch are being recognized. If multiple VLANs are being used on ports connecting 802.1Q-compliant devices, inconsistent VLAN IDs may have been assigned to one or more VLANs. For a given VLAN, the same VLAN ID must be used on all connected 802.1Q-compliant devices.

Link Configured for Multiple VLANs Does Not Support Traffic for One

or More VLANs. One or more VLANs may not be properly configured as “Tagged” or “Untagged”. A VLAN assigned to a port connecting two 802.1Q­ compliant devices must be configured the same on both ports. For example, VLAN_1 and VLAN_2 use the same link between switch “X” and switch “Y”.
