Cisco 6509 Sup2 to Sup32 upgrade

[littlespace]

Hi,

I need to upgrade 2xsup2 module to 2xsup32 on my cisco 6509. I just found out that I can not have the CISCO WS-X6500-SFM(Cisco Switch Fabric Module switch) with Sup32 and I have to remove 2 xCISCO WS-X6500-SFM2 modules from the switch.I am using this switch as a access switch and most of the ports are 100Mbps.

Could you please let me know if the upgrade would be safe or not as far as the bandwitdh?

Thanks,

Mike
