WS-X6548-GE-TX (VSS) Support

[mali786]

I form a VSS between two 6509-E chassis with sup 720. I have WS-X6548-GE-TX module in each chassis. After configuring the VSS i found that this module is not compatiable with VSS. Is there any way i can use these modules ? any upgrade or something ?

Please help.

unfortunately, only 67xx series and 68xx is supported.  You may want to talk to Cisco to trade that in with a 6700 series line card.

Hi Muhammad,

The below link contains the detailed description of the hardware requirments:

I also found this:

Yeah, i got the answer already. This module is not supported in VSS.

6748 with DFC3C is an option for VSS

Thanks for your reply.
