Cisco 4507R+E with SUP6L-E

Hello All,

 

At my core of my network I have a 4507R+E with a SUP6L-E and a 3750X, both these units are configured for HSRP.  So essentially the 3750X is not doing anything.  Many moons ago, at the time or purchase an additional SUP6L-E was twice the cost of a 3750X, so the 3750X was purchased to create a sense of high availability.

My question is, if I happen to come across another SUP6L-E, would it be a better configuration to install a secondary supervisor card and remote the 3750X from my network?

Of course EOS/EOL plays a factor but aside from that, would I see any simplification and enhancement to the network by the installation of a secondary supervisor?

Hi,

I would keep the 3750 as one of your core. The reason being is that this design gives you chassis redundancy.

If you install a second sup in the 4500 and something happens to it, you have no redundancy.
