Upgrading from Sup2 to Sup720 and converting from Hybrid to Native

[whorner]

I am looking to upgrade my 6509 to the Sup720. I only have 1300W power supplies so I know I have to upgrade them. Is there anything else I need ex. Flash or Memory. Secondly I want to convert to Native from Hybrid but I am running the FWSM has anyone had any problems with the FWSM and converting to IOS.

Thanks,

W

part of the process is converting the catOS commands to the IOS commands which includes the FWSM catOS commands.

i've not seen any problems with the FWSM in my lab although you should take caution and backup your FWSM config and partitions before beginning.
