Catalyst 4500-E, Sup 8-E and WS-X4506-GB-T

[mavaldes]

Hello, I have a Catalyst 4503-E with Sup8. And didn’t recognize the WS-X4506-GB-T. However the SUP 8E datasheet says:

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/switches/catalyst-4500-series-switches/data_sheet_c78-728191.html?cachemode=refresh

" Investment protection and reduced total cost of ownership (TCO)
◦ Full backward compatibility with 6-, 24-, and 48-Gbps slot line cards with no performance degradation
◦ The Supervisor Engine 8-E is compatible with classic Cisco Catalyst 4500 line cards and power supplies, providing full investment protection. It is not compatible with the classic Cisco Catalyst 4500 chassis. When you deploy the Supervisor Engine 8-E with classic line cards, all of the new features except the 24- and 48-Gbps per-slot switching capacity are inherited"

Hi,

I checked the datasheet for this card and it is supported in the supervisors 5, 6 and 7, but not in the supervisor 8:

• Supported by the Supervisor Engine V-10GE, Supervisor Engine 6-E, Supervisor Engine 6L-E, Supervisor Engine 7-E.
• Supported in the Catalyst 4500 and Catalyst 4500 E-Series switch chassis.
• Can be installed in any non-supervisor engine slot.
