Cat 6500 Supervisor Engine 2 Memory Installation

Autoboot hangs, and I quess its because
i have to uppgrade switch memory.
I have upgraded Route Processor memory,
but i cannot find were the memory for the switch processor is located.
Is it same type of memory: MEM-S2-XX
Anyone ?

Migrate/Replace Cat 6500 Supervisor

Any guides or tips on how to replace a Cat 6500 Sup 32 8G with Sup 720 10G? This is a single 6509 with 2 sup engines.
thanks

Because your supervisors are different you will need to remove both supervisors and replace them at the same time. You won't be able to run a SUP32 and a SUP720 at the same time.

Cisco Catalyst 6500 Supervisor Engine 2T Baseboard

Morning Guys
i have just bought a Cisco 6506-E Chassis, it came out with only the SUP2T Engine on slot 5, i have already stacked 3 switches (3750-X) as my core, i want to replace them with the chassis the problem now is my company doesn't have money to buy the 48 port switch and the fibre switch for the chassis, help me link the SUP2T Engine with the stack and improve my network. i also have the 12 port netgear fibre switch. help with the configuration.

You obviously need to configure the ports etc. but the switch should recognise the module as long as you have an IOS that supports it.
There is nothing extra to do, you just slot the module in.
If you are connecting all your distribution switches to the 6500 then if you don't need a vlan/IP subnet in multiple buildings then you should use L3 connections to the 6500.
Note also that you may want to consider at some time in the future a second supervisor or another chassis as this 6500 with one supervisor is a single point of failure ie. if it goes then there is no communication between buildings.

Cat 6500 doesn't appear in Topology View after replacement of the Supervisor engine

Hi.
I've a problem with a LMS 3.2 (latest updates).
We've replaced the supervisor engine with a new one (there was no change in model or IOS).
All is working fine, but only one thing is missing: The device was in the unreachable status in CM-Topology-View. So, I've deleted the switch into the Topo-View and rediscovered. The device doesn't appear. I've deleted the device in CS and redescover the hole net. Same effect: the device is present in RME, DFM, IPM, but not in CM-Topo-View.
The communication between NMS and device has neighter abnormalities nor other problems. I've checked ICMP, TFTP, Telnet, SSH, HTTP, HTTPS, SNMPv2c and SNMPv3.
All inventory jobs, Config jobs, DFM-Polling-Jobs and so on are working properly with this device.
Any ideas?
Regards
Markus

Hi.
Thx a lot ... the clearing of the cache was successful.
but where is the interrelationship between the discovery/data collection and the browser cache? Why I set the option to "every visit of the page" for temporarily internet files?

What IOS are you running on your Supervisor 2T? As long as it's 15.0(1)SY1 or later you should be OK. (Reference).
If it's not working with that I'd try reload of the ASA SM module (from IOS cli - e.g. "hw-module <module#> reset" and, failing that, "no power-enable module <module#>" followed by "power-enable module <module#>) while the new Supervisor is installed. Watch the log for relevant messages during that process.

Can 2 supervisor engine's ports both work at same time?

As I know that, when 1 supervisor engine is working, another engine's ports are totally down in redundancy mode .
Is there any way to let 2 supervisor engine's ports are both working at same time?

The two supervisor engines in a redundant supervisor engine configuration have different responsibilities. The active supervisor engine is responsible for controlling the system bus and all line cards. All protocols are running on the active supervisor engine and it performs all packet forwarding. The standby supervisor engine does not communicate with the line cards. It receives packets from the network and populates its forwarding tables with this information, but does not participate in any packet forwarding. The relevant protocols on the system are initialized, but not active, on the standby supervisor engine. The Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series supervisor engines are hot-swappable and the standby supervisor engine can be installed in a running, active system. Also please note that redundant supervisor engines do not perform load sharing. The active supervisor engine is providing the entire packet-forwarding intelligence for the system (N+1 redundancy). If the active supervisor engine fails, the standby supervisor engine can still maintain the same system load.
The standby supervisor engine polls the active supervisor engine through the Ethernet out-of-band channel (EOBC) every 5 to10 milliseconds to monitor the online status of the active supervisor engine. The active supervisor engine might go offline for a variety of reasons such as hardware failures, system overload conditions, memory corruption issues, removal from chassis, being reset by the operator, or real-time diagnostics-driven supervisor switchover (also known as Generic Online Diagnostics) 1. The standby supervisor engine detects this type of failure and becomes the new active supervisor engine. The Catalyst OS software on the supervisor engine is responsible for restoring the protocols, line cards, and forwarding engines to normal operation. This restoration takes place through a fast switchover or a high-availability switchover.

Cisco 4500 series switch-Supervisor Engine.

Is it possible to add two different supervisor engine module in a chassis(WS-C4507R+E Chassis)? (WS-X45-SUP7E in slot 3 and WS-X45-SUP6E-
Redundancy in slot number 4)

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst4500/12.2/31sga/configuration/guide/RPR.html
Redundancy requires both supervisor engines in the chassis to be of the same supervisor engine model (same model, same memory, NFL daughter card and so on), and to use the same Cisco IOS software image.

Replacement for Cat 6500

Hi all
Is there a replacement for Cat 6500
Thanks

Hi ,
You can use DFC4XL . XL means , it has more memory and store more TCAM table .
What is the difference between DFC4 and DFC4XL?
A. DFC4XL offers more scalability in terms of IPv4/IPv6 FIB entries, ACL entries, and NetFlow entries compared with DFC4 (see Table 3). Other than those hardware scalability differences, there are no feature differences between DFC4 and DFC4XL.
Table 3. Feature Differences Between DFC4 and DFC4XL

How to Configure Transparent caching on Cat 6500 with CSM in routed mode

I am trying to configure Transparent caching on Cat 6500 with CSM in routed mode, but facing some problems in it , also I have gone thru the example config on cisco site for transparent caching using CSM on Cat 6500 , but the above does not fit my clients requirement.
The scenario is like
Access Switches - Cat6500 with MSFC & CSM - Internet Router
|
Cache Engines and Real servers
The clients as well as real servers are on seperate VLANs (L3) and the requirement is to load balance the internet traffic using cache engines.
I'd really appreciate any helpful suggestions or any useful links/docs/info on this.
Thanks
kumar

Hello Joerg,
Thanks for the reply.
I have already gone thru the sample config shown by this weblink, however this link refers to configuring transparent caching on the CSM in BRIDGED MODE ( i.e both the client and server vlans are having the same IP address ) but in our case , we have multiple L3 VLANS on the CAT6509 having IP addresses in different SUBNETS , and the Real servers to be used for caching also exist on one of these VLANS. Thus, the scenario described by the Weblink does not apply here. Also , in the configuration referred by the above weblink, the VLAN 100 is configured as client , however the endusers are shown to be on vlan200 which is configured as SERVER VLAN in the CSM.
Dont you think there is something wrong here, I mean the endusers should be on VLAN 100 (Client) and real servers on VLAN 200 (SERVER).
So, I have to configure CSM in routed mode ( i.e both the client and server vlans will have seperate IP addresses in different subnets ) and the endusers will be on all VLANS .
Pls let me know , how I can implement this solution.
Thanks again
Sudhir

Dedicated supervisor engine slot numbers for cisco core switches

5 and 6
Please make it clear why its dedicated slot alocate for supervisor engine slot

Hi,
I think the reason behind a dedicated slots for Supervisors of 4500/6500 chasis is due to the architectural constraints.
For example the Sup 720 in 6500 has 18 fabric channel (18 connections to the fabric), the line cards have only 1/2 fabric channels depending on their version. So if you have to make a supervisor independent of the slot you need to have 18 backplane fabric channels in each slot of the chassis for the SUP to work in all slots as compared to 1/2 backplane fabric channels per slot as we have right now for the line cards. Almost same should go for the 4500. And this might come across as an architectural constraint. This is the best explanation i can think of.
Thanks

Catalyst 4006 Supervisor Engine 3 - routing features

How to ensure the Supervisor Engine 3 module has been integrated into Catalyst 4006? Any command I can use to make sure this? I am going to use it to do all routing for a enterprise network.....

I do not understand your question. Sup3 for CAT 4006 runs IOS and can route EIGRP/OSPF/IS-IS with enhanced image and RIP/static routes with Basic image.

C4500 and supervisor engine 8+

Hi all,
I wonder if anyone can offer any suggestions/hints regarding my dilemma...
We are about to have 2x point-to-point fiber links installed between our sites. My colleague is looking at a MUX solution so that Ethernet, E1 and RS232 can be directly connected to the MUX and mapped accordingly at either end - Personally I don't want to use this solution and would rather look at cisco 4500 series.
So, what would be better?
2x 4506 with supervisor 8-e at each site. Have 1 fiber link per 4506 and a link between the 2 switches at the local site
1x 4506 with supervisor 8-3 at each site and aggregate the link (potential single point of failure if a supervisor engine fails)
1x 4507 with 2 supervisor 8-e at each site. Have 1 fiber link per supervisor
1x 4507 with 2 supervisor 8-e at each site and aggregate the link - spare supervisor engine available should one fail
Also, are the line cards available to take E1 and RS232 connections? Or, would I need to recycle my current 2911's to perform these tasks?
I'm looking at the 4500 series to future proof ourselves mainly. We'll also be acting as a 'Service Provider' to other internal customers, so will be using vrf's quite a lot too, so will need the processing power and memory...
If more information is needed, let me know and I'll post it up. At the moment we are in concept and design.

Dan
Can't really comment on MUX solution as not my strength but in terms of the 4500s.
If you are going to be a sort of SP to internal customers then two switches per site not one would be my choice. That would provide you wit not only supervisor and module redundancy but also the chassis as well.
There isn't really enough information in terms of what lies behind each pair of 4500s eg. user vlans, do you need to extend vlans between sites, other L3 devices so the rest are just things to think about.
4500s run VSS so that could be an option. VSS has quite a few benefits and few downsides. Upgrading would be the thing I would be slightly concerned with in that we do see posts on these forums about hitless upgrades not working properly.
That said it may just be we only see the ones that don't work and most do and i haven't used VSS on 4500s so it may be a non issue.
VSS would allow you to put both links into the same etherchannel and spread the links across both chassis at each site.
If you are thinking of connecting with L3 links then you need the right IOS for L3 MEC support on VSS. With two separate switches obviously this isn't an issue.
Again it comes down to what is behind the 4500s. For example if you had other L3 devices that were dual connected to each switch then either VSS or separate switches connected to the other site with L3 links would work well as each L3 device would see equal cost paths to remote networks
If you had singly connected L3 devices though then VSS would be the better choice because with separate switches only one of the links would be used.
I'm not really arguing for either as i thin both could work well depending on the other requirements.
In terms of throughput, I'm sure you are aware but obviously the modules you buy are as important as the actual supervisor in terms of the performance you will gain.

Business Rule Error: Fact not found in the rule engine working memory, rule

I am trying to create a simple decision table with an input(ValidateInput) and a output(ValidateOutput). The input and output schemas have unbounded and nested elements(Parent-child relationship). When I create a condition(specific condition on input) and in the action I am asserting the output object. But when I run using EM it throws the following exception. It would be helpful if somebody could tell me what could be the problem. Please note when I set the output as ValidateInput object then it runs fine. Also it executes fine with ValidateOutput if it doesn't have unbounded(List) element inside it.

It's working now..I had to use Global variable to declare child element of the output variable and use the same during action.
