I have a 4507 Switch that has a bad supervisor. I have a replacement supervisor and installed it but because of IOS mis-match it does not show up as a standby to the active supervisor.
When i tried to sync the IOS using this command: copy bootflash:cat4500-ipbasek9-mz.122-40.SG.bin slavebootflash: I get an error of: %Error opening slavebootflash:cat4500-ipbasek9-mz.122-40.SG.bin (Error Sending Request).
With a console cable plugged into the replacement Supervisor Engine, this is all I get at the console:
The communication with the active supervisor cannot be established.
Possible reasons:
-Active sup. not completely initialized.
-Faulty active supervisor.
-Error on the communication channel.
Ipc packets sent so far: 2100 (1 packet/sec).
And this message repeats every few minutes and the packet count increases by 300..
It also does not respond to any keystrokes.
I know that is an older IOS version but taking the switch down to upgrade isn't an option right now.
I really need to get the new Supervisor up and going.
Thanks in advance for any assistance
