IOS and CatOS Compatibilty 6500

[chris.grammer]

Can anyone find a compatibility matrix that shows the recommended CatOS/IOS images to install on a 6509 in hybrid?

For instance, I install 7.6.1 as the CatOS, what IOS can I run on the MSFC1 and know that it has been tested to be compatibilty with 7.6.1?

I know I have seen this, but I have searched CCO for about an hour now and cant find it.

I dont think there is any such compatibility document The versions on the Supervisor and the MSFC does not matter for operation. For example you can run 6.1(1) on the Sup2 and 12.2 on the MSFC2 but you dont want to run this way. It is a good practice to stick with latest in each train. Example: 7.6(7), 6.4(11)

We have a 10/100/1000 48 port module WS-X6148V-GE-TX, which requires a minimum CatOS 7.6.1.

I was concerned if we upgraded the CatOS to 7.6.7 and left the MSFC at 12.1.7aE1 there would be trouble. The recommended IOS is 12.1.22E1, but I did not know if 7.6.7 and 12.1.22E1 were compatible or if there were issues.
