Sup7E/LE & Sup8E/LE supports VSS.
Be aware that not all chassis supports Sup8E/LE.

Hi,
What is the minmum license required for enabling vss
Thanks
ā12-11-2016 11:42 PM
I believe IP Base is sufficient to initiate VSS, however, the license is not the only thing to consider. For VSS the supervisor card, particularly the Sup7E/LE, requires a minimum level of IOS and ROMmon.
Read the Release Notes first to get a better understanding.

Hi,
Could you tell me the modules ( copper and fiber )
Thanks

For the chassis, see table 4 in: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/switches/catalyst-4500-series-switches/product_data_sheet0900aecd801792b1.html

Hi
4503,06,07 and 10 does not support 10G fiber line cards ?
Thanks
ā12-12-2016 09:59 AM
You mean the older chassis models? If so, yes, they wouldn't support 10g line cards (or sup6 and higher).
If you mean the later chassis, see the bottom of table 3.

Exactly how many SFP+ ports are required?
The backplane of the 4500R+E, with new cards like Sup7/Sup8, can support up to 48 Gbps per slot.
And even then, this is strictly a Level Layer 2 switch.

Hi,
What is level 2 switch
Thanks

What is level 2 switch
Sorry, I meant Layer 2.
ā12-12-2016 10:33 PM
Hi,
I need minimum 8 sfp ,
Since 4503 ,07,10 are layer 2 (I am planning to use as core switch(collapsed core ) ) ,
what would you suggest ?
4500-X is ok ?
Thanks

And even then, this is strictly a Level Layer 2 switch.
Believe Leo is referencing only if using an IP Base IOS version. With a "better" feature set IOS version, many 4500 sups are L3 capable.

True, but I wouldn't configure MPLS/VRF on Cat 4K.
ā12-12-2016 07:29 AM
The 4500-X also supports VSS.
