Catalyst 6509-E Supervisor Engine Upgrade

[Ismail Shakbodin]

Hi All,

I'm plan to do supervisor engine upgrade from WS-SUP720-3B to VS-S2T-10G. Currently we have two 6509-E (redundant) and also have two Sup Engine. Can i know the best practise to do the upgrade?

Is it I need to power down the 6509-E and take the old Sup and install new Sup?

Any support document?

Thanks

First, you need to power down your chassis.  You can't hot-swap your new Sup2T.  

Next, review your line cards.  ALL OF THEM.  Make sure your DFC/PFC cards are compatible with Sup2T.
