engines must be the same model and have the same daughter card
configurations. Each supervisor engine must have the resources to
run the switch on its own, which means that all supervisor engine
resources are duplicated. Identical supervisor engine memory
configurations are recommended, but are not required as long as the
supervisor engine with the smaller memory configuration is
sufficient to run the configured features of the switch. Additionally,
each supervisor engine must have its own flash device and console
port connections.
