Cat6500 SUP-2T Service Module Support

[sudheer]

Hi,

If any one using the new SUP-2T , Pls help me to clarify one query..

If we are using the new SUP-2T in VSS mode, will the new ASA service module and NAM-3 are supported..?

From Cisco site, ASA module FAQ:

Q. Will the ASA Services Module support the Cisco Catalyst Virtual Switching System (VSS) at FCS?

A. Yes, depending on which supervisor you use. The ASA Services Module supports VSS either as a single firewall or as a failover pair of firewalls, when used with the Supervisor 720-10G (VS-S720-10G-3C and VS-S720-10G-3CXL). Transparent and multi-context modes also work with the VSS in this configuration. However, though the SUP 720-3B (WS-SUP720-3B and WS-SUP720-3BXL) is supported by the ASA Services Module, it is not capable of supporting the VSS

No reference to Supervisor-2T

ASA Service module is mentioned but the NAM-3, strangely, isn't mentioned.

Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Supervisor Engine 2T (go to the end of the page and ASA is mentioned)

I'm suspecting that this is another document "bug".  Feel free to click on the "Feedback" link on the lower left-hand corner.  The documentation people will normally respond to your queries in 4 hours.

Hi,

The support is IOS release dependent. For the 15.0SY IOS release the support for both modules (WS-SVC-ASA-SM1-K9 and WS-SVC-NAM3-6G-K9) is oficially acknowledged as clearly seen at 15.0SY Sup2T-10GE Release Notes:

and also the Software Configuration Guide:

Best regards,
