Can you install a CFC on a 6824-SFP-2T?

[Chris Flint]

We have a WS-X6824-SFP-2T card that we need to use temporarily in a 6500 that still has a Sup720.  Can I swap the DFC for a CFC and make it work?

I'm guessing I can because you can upgrade a 6724 with a DFC4-A, but was hoping someone has done this before and could confirm.

That's what I was afraid of.  Before I posted the question I had found some other pages that weren't as clear about supported supervisors.

Thanks for the quick answer.

You are very welcome Chris.

Have a great day.
