Cisco LAN :: 6509-e Best Way To Swap Out Supervisor Module
Mar 28, 2012
We have a 6509-e (WS-C6509-E V04) with (4) (WS-X6148-GE-TX) 48 port modules and a supervisor 32 (WS-SUP32-GE-3B).We purchased a supervisor 720 (WS-SUP720-3B) and (2) (WS-6708-10G-3C) 8 port fiber modules and (1) WS-X6748-GE-TX)48 port module to add to the switch. My question is what is the best way to swap out the supervisor module? Can the SUP720 be added as a standby module so that the config can be transferred? Probably a long shot. Is there anything in this swap that I should be concerned with? The other three modules should be pretty straight forward.
How do I enable ports 3 and 4 on this supervisor module? I can only get ports 1 and 2 to work by default. I have a standby Supervisor in SSO mode. I'm running IOS 15.0.2SG
We are trying to upgrade the IOS on one of our 6509 switches. We have two 720 10GE supervisors running in SSO. Our procedure is reload the standby supervisor with the new IOS. We understand that you can only use one console connection when in RPR mode so we rely on the active supervisor giving us information that the standby unit is up and running.
The problem we have is that when we do a "show Module" on the switch the online diagnostics for the standby supervisor comes back us unknown. [code] We believe the active supervisor can see the standby supervisor because when we save the configuration we get a message saying that the config is sync'd with the standby router. We have a TAC case raised to investigate. We are upgrading from 12.2(33) SXI1 to 12.2(33) SXJ3
switch catalyst 4500 with ios cat4500e-universal.SPA.03.02.00.XO.150-2.XO.bin. I need to configure modules 3 and 4 of supervision, the problem is that I need the 4-port module 3 are active but only the first turn on both the module 3 and the first port on the module 4. [code]
1) Does the 6500 series router support supervisor module redundancy like the 7304 does? IE, can I put two identical sup720 modules in the chassis for failover?
2) Can I use any ethernet interface on any line card on the 6500 series for router interfaces? If not, which line cards work as router interfaces?
3) Differences between the 6500 series and the 7600 series? Can I use a sup720 modules from a 6500 in a 7600?
I have a supervisor blade, (VS-S720-10G-3C), in a 6513 that is faulty and needs replaced. Do I need to replace the IOS on the new supervisor blade to make sure it is the same as the IOS image that is on the Active supervisor module, or will it synchronize automatically?
In the synchronization process, the active supervisor engine checks the standby supervisor engine run-time image to make sure that it matches its own run-time image. The active supervisor engine checks three conditions:
# •If it needs to copy its boot image to the standby supervisor engine # •If the standby supervisor engine bootstring needs to be changed # •If the standby supervisor engine needs to be reset
I was reading the above documentation that mentioned the active supervisor should copy the image if it detects a newly installed standby supervisor blade with a different image, is this correct or was it referring to synchronizing the configuration file?
I have configured the VSS in two cisco 6509-E series with only one supervisor engine, but if i configured with two supervisor engine. it is going to common mode. One supervisor engine is 3c and 3cxl.
I would like to add a redundant supervisor to my core 6509. Is this tricky to do? I know they have to be running the same IOS. I am worried if I put the new supervisor in it will write over the exsisting running config.
We are planning to upgrade the IOS on our two 6509E supervisors in the next few weeks. We currently run IOS 12.2(33) SXI1 and are upgrading to 12.2(33) SXJ3. At the moment the two supervisors are in SSO mode and after reading many articles it says that when the images are different on the two supervisors they are in RPR mode. When you then reload the active supervisor it will reboot all the line cards.
1. Is above correct? Will my line card reload?
2. We also have a FWSM installed, When/If the line cards are rebooted does the FWSM also reboot?
Problem I have encountered when upgrading a Cisco 6509 chassis with a new supervisor card from Sup2 to Sup 720b. The 6509 loads and then crashes completely, and when rebooted reloads into rommon.The same upgrade was performed on a similar switch with no apparent problems.
I'm currently in the process of evaluating potential equipment options for a Core Router/Switch that will be running BGP with several Tier 1 ISP's, the table download from each ISP will be full (300,000+ Routes). I was looking at a 6509-E with dual SUP720-3BXL supervisors but after reading the below link I'm a little concerned by the maximum routes table: [URL]
Do I have to go to the VS based 720 supervisor as a minimum to support full BGP on a 6509-E? Does any experience of the above switch + supervisor combination under a full BGP table, how well does it work? I'm looking at long term using this as a consolidated core (i.e. a VRF for the Global Internet routing table + a VRF for internal data center traffic, plus maybe some more shared VRF's).
Would I be better keeping a Core switch by itself and just buying edge routers to run BGP?
we have Supervisor Engine 720 10GE (VS-S720-10G) in slot 5 on Catalyst 6509-E. Slot 6 is free. We need to replace VS-S720-10G. Is it possible the following scenario
1. we will insert new VS-S720-10G into the slot 6 2. then we will remove the faulty VS-S720-10G from the slot 5
Will everything work without interuptions. Is any document where I can find step-by-step procedure how to replace VS-S720-10G ?
we have two 6509 catalyst. we bought two new SFM-capable 16 port 1000mb GBIC/WS-X6516A-GBIC module. but our catalysts doesnt support them. we don't know the reason. we tried on another 6500 series catalyst they worked.
here are the outputs from our 6509:

we've had an issue with our network, we have 2 6509 connected with redundancy, which are connected with 2 x 4900 Switches, from which are connected to a ESX Chassis for visualization, the thing is that the ESX stopped working, and the 4900 switches, and the main core were suffering from overload, they hang on it very well, in order to stop the overload, one of the links to the ESX Chassis were disconnected from one of the 4900 switches. The CPU usage from the 4900 and the core(6509) went down below 40%, and then they started to migrate the virtual servers from the chassis to another 2 chassis that were added right after. They were actually working well, but suddenly the 6509 changed to the other supervisor after everything was OK. We were wondering what could have been the cause of this, maybe the virtual servers migrations, maybe the overload from the ESX ? We also had a few question, is there any need to reload the cores every few months as a planned task ? Because the cores have been up for more than 1 year. And also is there any kind of of tool to monitor the CPU status, or the status overall from the cores or the switches ?
I try to access to WS-SVC-NAM-2 module in the Switch 6509. But is not work although the HTTP port is enabled (I tested with the command telnet @ip 80).
I try telnet access to the module to check the config , but I always the message that the lo gin / password is wrong even though they are valid.
Need to remove the IPSec VPN SPA module from the 6509 chassis. Does the module is hot swappable or does the 6509 need to be turned off prior to removal.
I have a pair of 6509-E Switches running VS-720 Supervisors. We are planning to add Ace Module onto the 6509-E. Will IP Base Image suffice the requirement? Will Ace Module work with only IP Base Image?
We have a 6509 with an ACE module. For reasons I don't fully understand the ACE is running using a BVI in bridge mode. It has loads of secondary interfaces.
[Code]...
I can ping all of the IPs on the BVI, but only servers in Subnet 10.7.42/42 can ping out of the the layer 3 on the 6509. I have all the routes configured properly on the 6509 pointing to the ACE for these subnets. The question is though the config has been excepted, is there a limit to the number of secondary on a BVI.
I have a switch Cisco WS-C6509-E WS-X6716-10G-3C module ( module for 10 GB) , i have the IOS s72033-ipservicesk9-mz.122-18.SXF9.bin. I want to know if this IOS can support this module or not ? or , if i must do a upgrade , is that the IOS : "s72033-ipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-33.SXH8" work fine ?
Suffered a big outage on the network, the fix was to reload the module 3 on the 6509 switch, we had these errors on the log %CONST_DIAG-SW1_SP-3-HM_PORT_TEST_FAIL: Switch 1 Module 3 TestUnusedPortLoopback Port(s)[24,46] failed. System operation continues.in the end, we reloaded the card and it was all ok. is there anything I can do to check the card / or any deeper logs? would that error cause the card to crash?
I have a cisco 6509 configured with a cisco NAM module. I have reset the config of the NAM module by the config clear command. Since this moment I can't no more ping the NAM module via the management port: OK via the 127.0.0.91 address and log in ok via the ios cli session command. [code] I have already tried to reboot the module via the ios cli hw module command and nothing better.
I have a cisco 6509 (ws-c6509-e) IOS 12.2.(18)SXF6 with the following modules and submodules: [code] I would like to add another module, I have WS-6816-GBIC or WS-6516-GBIC which one will work with my 6509 ? The 6509 has four module slots empty: 4-7-8-9, Can I add the card in one of these slots ?
How I can shutdown a module when I am running vsl.I can use the following command #hw-module module 2 shutdown.As I have modules in both switch 1 and switch 2 how can I ensure I only shut down module 2 in switch 1.
We have a VSS environment with two Cisco 6509-Es. IOS image:s72033-ipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-33.SXI5 when I switch on or reload the Core switches(VSS), I find a Minor Error in the "Show module switch all" command.I also did a "show diagnostic result switch 1 module 5"Switch 1 Module 5: Supervisor Engine 720 10GE (Active) SerialNo : SAL1521E035
Overall Diagnostic Result for Switch 1 Module 5 : MINOR ERROR Diagnostic level at card bootup: complete Test results: (. = Pass, F = Fail, U = Untested) 45) TestVslLocalLoopback: Port 1 2 3 4 5 ------------------- U U U . F
This issue temporarily relieves when reseating the X2 module, but reappears after reloading the switch.
I am desiging a topology with two Cat 6509 and Two ACE Module, one ACE per Catalyst. I am thinking to use bridge mode for the customer contexts, I would like to know if the Bridged mode is an Assymetric topology.
The server gateway is the ip address of the ACE or the Router?
We have a requirement to build a datacenter within a datacenter for a new project. The existing Core network is 2 x Cisco 6509 in VSS configuration. We would like to connect the new datacenter to the existing Core switch from the new low-end Core switch. This datacenter would have a SAN network and blader chassis.
Listing the Cisco Switches requirements and expansion module requirements ?
- What expansion module is required at existing 6509 ? Can we have one 10Gibit modules on each switches and crate a port-channel connection from new datacenter core switch ?
- Which model of Switch you recommend for the new Datacenter Core which is only going to have one SAN Enclosure and two blade chassis? Will it be a good option to use 3750E ? If yes do we need any additional modules there ?
- Which aggregation switch should we use for the blade enclosure ?
- Should we have a Cisco Embedded Switch module on the chassis to create trunk with aggregation switch ?
- How the SAN director switch is connecting to the LAN ? should we have any particular module at new Core switch ?
I trying configure ASN traffic load balance, but doesn't works.I have one Cisco Catalyst 6509 and onde Cisco Ace10 module, in my context "PanWEB" i have the interfaces above: [code] If i try to establish a telnet session(telnet 10.96.202.10 80) i see the SYN packet passing through the ACE and going to the real server, but, the server do not response the SYN packet. I done a capture in the server using wireshark and could see that the IP address of the destination is the VIP and not the rserver ip address , this is a problem? Why can not I have the SYN + ACK from the server?
I m planning to implement VSS in core but want some inputs on IOS as i have FWSM as a service module Core :- Ii am running 12.2(33)SXH2a on my Core 6509 and i checkd cisco sites and Fwsm release notes but it states only I-Train of IOS while mine is H-Train so can I directly upgrade to I-Train or I was thinking of SXH8b IOS.
We are facing a strange issue, our ACE 20 got failed due to power issue , after RMA once we are installing ACE 20 to 6509 , the status LED is showing ORANGE . The sh module shows it as " Others " ... The IOS is same as it was previously in 6509 .
