Help required in module insertion

[sivakondalarao]

Dear All,

I have 6509 switch. In its first slot present 10/100 ethernet module is there.

I have to remove this module and insert 10/100/1000 ethernet module.

Can I have some valid suggestions:

1 Like these are the precautions needs to be taken

2 Like These are the problems may occur, if this is the problem or error this is the solution or activity needs to be carried out

3 Like these are the check list we have to verify after insertion.

Your valid inputs are appreciated.

Regards

SKRAO

Hi SKRAO,

In my opinion, these are the best practices that you can follow :

1. Check the release notes of the IOS or catOS ruuning on the switch.

2. Check the minimum and cisco recommended IOS for the module.

3. Check the IOS on the Sup engine and then match it with the releasenotes..upgrade if required.

4. Then swap out the module as they support online insertion and removal so dont have to powe down yoru switch.

HTH, Please rate if it does.
