in the following table:
Description
Catalyst 6509 Chassis, 9slot, 15RU, No Pow Supply, No Fan
Tray
Cisco CAT6000-SUP720 IOS IP
(see Software Requirements
Catalyst 6500/Cisco 7600 Supervisor 720 Fabric MSFC3
PFC3B
Catalyst 6500 Sup720 Compact Flash Mem 256MB

Both Catalyst switches must operate with the same Cisco IOS software release.
The spanning tree implementation of Cisco CRS-1 control Ethernet assumes that all Catalyst switch
ports connected to the multishelf system are kept in VLAN 1.
The Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) transceiver module used on the Catalyst switches must
match the SFP optic used on each RP and SCGE card in the system. The GBIC can be either LX/LH
or SX, but the same type must be used on both ends.
The Catalyst switches must be installed, including all cables properly connected between the
switches and the Cisco CRS-1 router.
See the "Related Documents" section on page x
