Cisco 6509 Supervisor Engine

[ross_rulz]

Hi Guys,

Can someone please tell me if my Cisco 6509 with supervisor engine WS-SUP720-BASE will support a 16-Port 10GbE Copper Module.

I'm not sure if I'll need to upgrade my supervisor engine in order to get a 10 Gb module to work.

Here's the show module from the swich:

Hi,

Here are all the Sup modules that support the 16 port 10Gig copper:

The 16-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet copper module is  interoperable with all models of the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Virtual  Switching Supervisor Engine 720 with 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks or  Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Supervisor Engine 720, including  VS-S720-10G-3C, VS-S720-10G-3CXL, WS¬-Sup720, WS-Sup720-3B, and  WS-Sup720-3BXL. Note that when DFCs are mixed in the same chassis, the  chassis will operate in the lowest common mode.

Ok, I see you just posted sh module

You need to upgrade your Sup.

Ok thanks. Can you recommend a supervisor engine that will support this 10gb module. We only need the supervisor enigne to have GB uplinks.

[Reza Sharifi]

All the Sup I listed above have 10 and 1Gig interfaces If you know, you never need VSS, you can use 720-3BXL.

If you have the budget you can use VS-S720-10G-3CXL. This also support VSS in case you need it in the future.

You probably can get the VS sup for the same price as 3B, since Cisco is pushing 2T these days.
