Cisco 6509

[chwilliams]

After removing two 6248 modules from a 6509, they do not show up after issuing a "show module" but the ports that were assigned to users are still in the running config. Is there a way to clear this out of the running config without rebooting the switch?

*note - problem exists on 2 different switches; 1 w/ a sup1a the other with a sup2.

Also - both are running code that supports the 6148-45AF blades. IOS version.

You could copy the config to your PC, change it the way you want it and than copy it back again

(switch# copy tftp running-config).

But to be honest that's a little bit risky, maybe you have a device for testing it first. I never did it with a whole config, only with parts of it, e.g. access-lists.

I dont think, the interfaces will be out of the config, without a reboot.

I thought about it for a couple of minutes.

Better would be copying the running-config to your PC, change it and then:

switch# copy tftp startup-config

If after that the startup-config looks all right:

switch# copy startup-config running-config

This looks more secure to me and the first part is worth a try.

You should be able to just issue the command:

clear config *mod num*

And that will clear out the configurations from those modules.

I'll certainly give the clear "config mod 8" a try during my next scheduled maint. Thank you sir. I'll re-post the outcome as well as rate.

when you boot the switch, the running-config is same as startup-config(inc your port)
