VSS requirements cat6500

[Pavlo Zabudskyi]

I know that it is possible to make virtual switch link (VSL) between WS-X6708-10G modules.

Do supervisors have also to be 10G, or is it possible to make VSS with sup 720-3B and VSL between 10G line cards?

Yes.

No, only Sup-720-VS 3C and 3CXL and also Sup-2T support VSS.

Further to Reza's reply, if you plan to upgrade to Sup2T, do NOT use 6708 because this line card will never be supported with the Sup2T.
