    Hardware and Software Requirements RSFC Redundancy Up to two Catalyst 5000 series supervisor engines with RSFCs can be installed in the Catalyst 5505, 5509, and 5500 chassis. Redundant RSFCs do not exchange configuration or system image information. Configuration changes on one RSFC do not affect the configuration of the second RSFC.
