Cisco Switching/Routing :: 6509 Redundant Sup720 - Slave Boots Into ROMmon
Oct 24, 2012
I'm fairly new to networking and need to migrate an old core to a new core. I have a 6509-e Switch that I had an RMA on one of my 720 sup cards. After receiving the sup card I swapped my slave out with the new one, expecting it to boot into ios. It booted into Roman. I tried to boot the image manually and it did the same thing. I also tried to boot from my flash and, again, booted into ROMmon.
Question: If i configure and change the boot to boot from image it tells me i need to reset or power cycle first. Will this reset the entire switch? As this is production I'd rather not.
I am at home now, but I can supply any logs/hardware model/configs tomorrow. I thought I would see if this is an easy fix.

Got a long lingering, year long issue that has spanned about 8 supervisor cards and a complete chassis swap. The 6509 acts as a ITN in our facility. The active sup card at random points of pipe usage boots into rommon mode, seriously inhibiting our company. I'm able to swap the 2 fiber pairs that we had going into the active supervisor card into the secondary and usually this works for another random amount of time, however, today it occured within minutes of hooking up the fiber links. Sitting there for about 5 minutes it booted into ROMMON. When this happens, I'm able to boot the sup card back to good status. Previous remedial actions, other than replacing sup cards/chassis, was checking the config register and making sure it was x2102. Previously, it was not, and we corrected and reloaded and it took, we thought this would fix the problem, until today.

I have a two fiber connection from our Central Office(6513) to Remote office (6509). I have a requirement that on the remote office if one of the fiber goes down, the second fiber should work as a failover. I am planning to use SUP720-3B SFP to connect to the CO.
Can I connet one fiber to Sup720-3b G5/1 & another fiber connection to G5/2? or Can I connet one fiber to Sup720-3b G5/1 & another fiber connection to G6/2? I am running EIGRP between sites. Any sample config.

if it is possible to recover a Cat 6500 that has no code on bootflash from ROMMON, and is it mandatory to have a compact flash card to do the recovery ? or can one use xmodem or TFTP ?

Just a very quick one. Is there any physical limitation to how many ARP entries a 6509 and sup720 can have?

I am facing a problem with a cisco 6509 that goes into rommon every time i restart. If i give the command
rommon 1> boot
it will pick up the IOS on the sup-bootdisk: or bootdisk: and boots up but i dont understand why on reboot it wont pick up this IOS and boot itself and why do i have to write boot command everytime on rommon.
I have also explicitly given the command "boot system bootdisk:IOSNAME.bin" in the startup config file but still no luck.

I have a heck of a time finding this kind of information on the cisco site...Is the WS-SUP720-BASE line card a fully supported module in the 6509-E chassis?

I support an active VSS cluster using 2 x 6509E chassis with single Supervisor 3C modules in each chassis. I want to replace these with Supervisor 2T modules. All my service modules and line cards are supported with the Sup2Ts (I will also be implementing 6908 modules). Is there a document on the Cisco site for this? I haven't found one though I can find plenty that describe how to do a software upgrade.
(Note, I have a 3rd (non VSS) 6509E chassis that is also part of this core network and that will maintain VTP/V LAN's etc).

I have ROM MON version 12.2(17r)S2 and I am trying to determine if I need to chnage this to 12.2(17r)SX7. It does not appear I need to with the upgrade to 12.2(33)SXI10. Is this correct?

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.
Catalyst 6000 supervisor 2 (Active) WS-X6K-S2U-MSFC2
Policy Feature Card 2 WS-F6K-PFC2

we have 55 of the 1841 routers here, and one of them always boots to ROMMON from a very cold (down 1 hour or more) start. The image on all 55 is c1841-ipbasek9-mz.124-24.T4.bin. 32 MB Cisco brand flash. Here's what's been done thus far:In ROMMON changed to 0x2102. Then 'reset' and the image boots fine. Change config-reg to 0x2102. Save config. Reload and image boots fine again. Wait an hour or more and boots to ROMMON.Boot from ROMMON to USBflash0: Format the CF then copy over the bin file. Change to 0x2102 and save. Reload and image boots fine again. Wait an hour or more and boots to ROMMON.Swapped CF with another unit. Again, works fine to reload, but shut down and restart an hour or more later and boots to ROMMON. Format this CF and copy over image while on router. Image boots fine. Wait an hour or more and boots to ROMMON.In each case of very cold start the configuration register has reverted to 0x0 {why it boots to ROMMON}Tried dx mode with 0x8001. Nothing seen that is unusual to me, but I'm not an expert by any means.It doesn't seem to a CF card problem, but could be a connection to the CF card and then something behind that.
Here is the output of diagnostic boot mode:
Cisco 1841 (revision 7.0) with 116736K/14336K bytes of memory.
Processor board ID FTX1231W0JA
2 FastEthernet interfaces
2 Low-speed serial(sync/async) interfaces
DRAM configuration is 64 bits wide with parity disabled.

I have a lightweight AP that boots into RoMmon, if i hold the reset button in for 10 seconds or so it will boot into the IOS and download the config from the controller but never registers. then once i reboot it it goes back to Romon unless i hold in the button again.

setting up VRF-lite on redundant 6509-E chassis to account for chassis failure? Let's say I have 2x 6509-Es configured with HSRP for 2 vlans, ServerA and ServerB. So
6509-A#
!
interface Vlan10
description ServerA VLAN
ip address 10.10.10.2 255.255.255.0
ip flow ingress
standby 1 ip 10.10.10.1
standby 1 priority 105
[code].....
I now need to create an environment where the Server VLANs can be provided for two customers and they need to be wholly separate. On 6509-A, I make VRF CustomerA and VRF CustomerB and I assign Vlan10 to VRF CustomerA and Vlan20 to CustomerB. Do I create the SAME VRFs on 6509-B with the same logic?

We are looking into replacing our current Windows NLB configuration with a SLB solution as NLB creates some nasty multicast traffic.
We are currently curious about the limitations for running SLB without a dedicated ACE Module, will it handle line-rate speed (1 and 10 gbit) with SLB?
Does VSS introduce any limitations for SLB? Any other pitfalls/limitations we should be aware of?

Currently we do not have multicat routing enabled on either of our 2x Sup720-10G 6509 Switches. We have no intention of doing so either. I am looking for clarification on how mutlicasting operates within a Vlan.
IOS: s72033-ipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-33.SXH2a.bin
Our Vlan has IGMP snooping enabled. Here is the output.
6509Switch#sh ip igmp inter vlan 25
Vlan25 is up, line protocol is up
Internet address is 10.1.1.254/24
IGMP is disabled on interface
we do not want to disable IGMP due to this one concern that I can't find documented. If we disable IGMP snooping on the vlan, what happens to multicast packets with a TTL > 1. Do they get flooded to the entire switch and all Vlans? Or does it stay within the Vlan?

I will be installing a secondary SUP720 in a 6509-E and will be upgrading the IOS on the existing SUP which is on 122-18.SXF6. I've read that this release has passed End of Critical Maintenance earlier this you. I thinking of upgrading the IOS to 12.2.33-SXJ1(ED) or 12.2.33-SXI8(ED) (possible more stable), but i'm not sure if i need any step upgrades from the current version. The SUP meets the required hardware specs and I will also be upgrading the ROMMON to 12.2(17r)SX7 first.
I have alot of experience upgrading IOS on routers and switches, but i just need to now if there are any gotchas that i need to know for the upgrade on the SUP.
The other issue is i don't believe the current IOS has been installed, are there any issue running on an IOS not installed. Patching is not available since the system is not running from an installed image. To install please use the "install file" command.

We've just invested in a pair of Sup2Ts to upgrade a Sup720 6509 chassis but I'm unsure exactly how the management port(s), aka the Connectivity Management Processor (CMP), should be configured (and patched) in a dual supervisor system?Is each CMP an independent entity or is the management interface configuration (IP address, gateway, etc) replicated between supervisors?If it's the latter then do both management ports need to be physically connected at the same time?

I have a 6509-E with redundant 3000W power supplies (WS-CAC-3000W) but one supply is current non-operational.From the outputs I'm not sure whether the issue is (more likely to be) with the supply to the PSU or the PSU itself, i.e. whether my first action should be to get an electrian to check the supply or fault call the PSU with our maintenance providers and have it replaced?

I have received a sup720-3B from Cisco with an internal 512MB flash(sup-bootdisk). I want to verify what IOS image is on the disk and do not have an spare 6509 chasis. Can I remove the 512 MB flash disk and insert it to my disk0: on my production 6509 with the sup32 that the 720 will repplace and view what is on the disk without corrupting?
