Supervisor Engine Redundancy Guidelines and Restrictions
Reload the standby supervisor engine with the redundancy reload peer command.
Step 4
If you configure Supervisor Engine V-10GE to use both Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet
•
uplinks without WS-X4302-GB in slot 10, module 10 is disabled and you cannot rollback the
configuration to use gigabit ports.
Enter the following commands to recover:
config t
hw-module uplink select tengigabitethernet
mode
!
ctrl z
wr me
redundancy reload shelf
//The switch reloads
config t
hw-module uplink select gigabitethernet
!
ctrl z
wr me
redundancy reload shelf
ethernet port(s) ON and the ten gigabit ethernet port(s) Off
RPR requires Cisco IOS Release 12.1(12c)EW, Release 12.1(19)E or later releases. SSO requires
•
Cisco IOS Release 12.2(20)EWA or later releases.
The Catalyst 4507R switch and the 4510R switch are the only Catalyst 4500 series switches that
•
support supervisor engine redundancy.
In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(25)SG and later releases on a Catalyst 4507R series switch, 10-Gigabit
•
Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet uplinks are concurrently usable.
Redundancy requires both supervisor engines in the chassis to have the same components (model,
•
memory, NFL daughter card), and to use the same Cisco IOS software image.
• When the WS-X4516 active and redundant supervisor engines are installed in the same chassis, the
four uplink ports (Gig1/1, Gig2/1, Gig 1/2, and Gig2/2) are available.
• The active and redundant supervisor engines in the chassis must be in slots 1 and 2.
• Each supervisor engine in the chassis must have its own flash device and console port connections
to operate the switch on its own.
• Each supervisor engine must have a unique console connection. Do not connect a Y cable to the
console ports.
• Supervisor engine redundancy does not provide supervisor engine load balancing.
• The Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) table is cleared on a switchover. As a result, routed traffic is
interrupted until route tables reconverge. This reconvergence time is minimal because the SSO
feature reduces the supervisor engine redundancy switchover time from 30+ seconds to subsecond,
so Layer 3 also has a faster failover time if the switch is configured for SSO.
Static IP routes are maintained across a switchover because they are configured from entries in the
•
configuration file.
Information about Layer 3 dynamic states that is maintained on the active supervisor engine is not
•
synchronized to the redundant supervisor engine and is lost on switchover.

// The switch will reload with all 10 modules working ok
// The switch reloads with module 10 active with the gigabit
// This sets the switch back to default
// This sets the switch to the desired link
