Information About the Switch
You can install the ASASM in the Catalyst 6500 series or Cisco 7600 series switches. The switch
includes a switch (the supervisor engine) as well as a router (the MSFC). The connection between the
ASASM and the switch is a single 20-GB interface.
The switch supports Cisco IOS software on both the switch supervisor engine and the integrated MSFC
router.
Note
The Catalyst operating system software is not supported.
The ASASM runs its own operating system.
Note
Because the ASASM runs its own operating system, upgrading the Cisco IOS software does not affect
the operation of the ASASM.
