Supervisor Engine 6L-E - Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Software Configuration Manual

Configuring
RPR and SSO on Supervisor Engine 6-E and

Supervisor Engine 6L-E

Catalyst 4500 series switches allow a redundant supervisor engine to take over if the active supervisor
engine fails. In software, supervisor engine redundancy is enabled by running the redundant supervisor
engine in route processor redundancy (RPR) or stateful switchover (SSO) operating mode.
The minimum ROMMON requirement for running SSO is Cisco IOS Release 12.1(20r)EW1 or
Note
Cisco IOS Release 12.2(20r)EW1.
This chapter describes how to configure supervisor engine redundancy on the Catalyst 4507R and
Catalyst 4510R switches.
For information on Cisco nonstop forwarding (NSF) with SSO, see
