Can someone please tell me how to remove some old config from a 6500 switch. We used to have a module in slot 8 of our 6509 and we no longer have this configuration. The interfaces still show up in the config as:
interface gig8/1
no ip address
shutdown
This module is removed and does not show up when I do a show module. How do I remove this from the config all together? Thanks in advance!

Use the following command.
6509-4A(config)#module ?
6509-4A(config)#module clear-config
You may have to insert and remove the module from the slot for the above command to take effect.
Thanks

I tried using this command but it did not work. I just got a new 6506 in and fired it up with the 6724 card in slot 1 and the switch built the interfaces like it should. Once it was up and running I moved the 6724 card to slot 2 and it built the interfaces like it should. I then ran the above command 6506(config)#module clear-config but the gig1/1 - 24 interfaces are still showing in the running config. Any idea how I remove this config without reloading the switch?

Does anyone have a suggestion?

did you ever get a workable fix (short of rebooting the switch)?
we just moved a blade as well, and the old config for the blade is still listed.

I have seen similar cases where this can happen if the module is removed
before "module clear-config" is set AFTER the module is already pulled
from the chassis. Since you have already configured "module
clear-config", can you put the original module back into the chassis, wait for it
to come up completely, then remove it? This should do the trick.
