Line Cards support for SupEngine 7

[George Gitonga]

Hi,
I would like to upgrade my 4507 core switch which currently has Sup IV to Sup7.
the core switch currently has classic line cards WS-x4506-GB-T and WS-x4224-RJ45V and my worry is these May not be supported..
The datasheet list these as part of the supported classic cards but I would wish to get a confirmation that this is indeed so and what issues I should expect? please advise...

Line cards shouldn't be an issue.  (Don't recall us bumping into any line cards issues with the sup7.)

You may need to upgrade your chassis, though.

I was told that the new Sup8 has the same price as the Sup7.  You may want to check that out.

Your classic cards are supported by Sup7 but won't be supported by Sup8.
