Questions about Catalyst 4500-X

[mastrboy_]

Hi

Have some questions about 4500-X series.

- Do they come with redundant power supply's? Or do you have to buy the second one to get redunandancy?

- Since the 4500-X supports VSS and Multichassis Etherchannel og layer2, can you configure a multichassis etherchannel between 2x 4500-X in VSS and 2x 6509-E (SUP720) in VSS ?

- 4500-X is loaded with NX-OS, and all our other switches use IOS, is there any incompability between features like Rapid spanning-tree, OSPF, Etherchannel etc... That we should be aware of?

By default, a single power supply is included.  DC and/or secondary power supply is optional.

- Since the 4500-X supports VSS and Multichassis Etherchannel og layer2, can you configure a multichassis etherchannel between 2x 4500-X in VSS and 2x 6509-E (SUP720) in VSS ?

Multi-chassis etherchannel to another VSS pair is supported.
