Supervisor Engine Redundancy Guidelines and Restrictions
Here are the steps:
Step 1
Clear the offending configuration (that caused an MCL) while the standby supervisor engine is in
standby cold (RPR) state.
Enter the redundancy config-sync ignore mismatched-commands EXEC command at the active
Step 2
standby supervisor engine.
Perform write memory.
Step 3
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 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
