Catalyst 6509-V-E
The Catalyst 6509-V-E switch is an enhanced version of the Catalyst 6509-NEB-A switch. The 9-slot
(numbered from (1) right to (9) left), 21 RU, vertical chassis supports redundant power supplies,
redundant supervisor engines, and redundant fan trays. It also supports a greater power capacity per slot
than the Catalyst 6509-NEB-A switch chassis. The Catalyst 6509-V-E switch chassis is NEBS L3
compliant. Supervisor engine support and restrictions for the Catalyst 6509-V-E includes:

Catalyst 6500 Series Supervisor Engine Guide
1-10
Supervisor Engine 32 and Supervisor Engine 32 PISA do not support the Switch Fabric Modules
(WS-C6500-SFM and WS-X6500-SFM2). The Switch Fabric Modules and Supervisor Engine 32 or
Supervisor Engine 32 PISA cannot be installed in the same chassis.
The uplink ports are fully functional on all redundant supervisor engine models when they are in
standby mode.
In systems with redundant supervisor engines, both supervisor 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 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.
Supervisor Engine 32, Supervisor Engine 32 PISA, Supervisor Engine 720, Supervisor
Engine 720-10GE, and Supervisor Engine 2T are supported.
Refer to your software release notes for specific information on the minimum software release
versions required to support the supervisor engines in the Catalyst 6509-NEB-A chassis.
Supervisor Engine 32, Supervisor Engine 32 PISA, Supervisor Engine 720, Supervisor
Engine 720-10GE, and Supervisor Engine 2T must be installed in slot 5 or slot 6.
Slots not occupied by supervisor engines can be used for modules. Check your software release
notes for any restrictions on the type of module that can be installed.
Supervisor Engine 720, Supervisor Engine 720-10GE, and Supervisor Engine 2T have a built-in
switching fabric. Switch Fabric Modules (WS-C6500-SFM and WS-X6500-SFM2) are not
supported by Supervisor Engine 720, Supervisor Engine 720-10GE, and Supervisor Engine 2T and
cannot be installed in the same chassis.
