Upgrade Cisco 6500 (SUP720/MSFC3)

David Perez Pozuelo · ‎05-28-2013

Hi,

This is my first post, I hope not to repeat with another previous post.

I want to upgrade a pair of Cisco Catalyst 6500, these have this software: s72033-jk9s-mz.122-18.SXD5.bin, to change a 12.2 (18) SXF or 12.2 (33) SXI

The problem is that I'm sure the modules compatibility with every version of IOS. Especially the WLSM and FWM. Can you help me?

Thanks for everything.

Attached some commands with information from the 6500:

This is my first post, I hope not to repeat with another previous post.

Thanks for being considerate.

Ok, here comes the business end:

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but WS-SVC-WLAN-1-K9 is not supported in SXH and higher.

WS-SVC-FWM-1 is still supported from 12.2(14)SX1 and higher. Read more from here.

Hi leolaohoo,

Yes, are bad news, but I was sure I could not install an IOS very new.

My fear is the compatibility of the two modules (FWSM and WLSM).

Reading other post I've seen that the best option is the IOS 12.2 (18) SXF, as indicated in this thread:

Thanks again, the next stage in the upgrade of these two modules.
