Configure 6506 to L3!

[netadmin]

Hello! I was looking to convert a L2 6506 by adding a new MSFC to a L3 switch. I'm in the process of creating vlan's on the router module. Is there a guide/how to that I can use? My other 6509 is already a L3 with HSRP configured. Is HSRP required on the 6506 then? Thanks in advance!

The following page should help with MSFC2 installation. Note that MSFC1 cannot be installed in the field and hence assuming its an MSFC2

For configurations, the following page should help

Since you have 2 chassis with MSFCs, HSRP would make sense for layer 3 redundancy(not a requirement).
