Using the Bootflash or Bootdisk on a Supervisor Engine 720
Using the Bootflash or Bootdisk on a Supervisor Engine 720
All 12.2SX releases support the Supervisor Engine 720 64-MB bootflash device (sup-bootflash:).
Release 12.2(18)SXE5 and rebuilds and Release 12.2(18)SXF and rebuilds support WS-CF-UPG=,
which replaces the bootflash device with a CompactFlash adapter and 512 MB CompactFlash card
(sup-bootdisk:). Refer to this publication:

Using the Slots on a Supervisor Engine 720
The Supervisor Engine 720 has two CompactFlash Type II slots. The CompactFlash Type II slots
support CompactFlash Type II Flash PC cards sold by Cisco Systems, Inc. The keywords for the slots on
the active Supervisor Engine 720 are disk0: and disk1:. The keywords for the slots on a redundant
Supervisor Engine 720 are slavedisk0: and slavedisk1:.
Configuring Supervisor Engine 720 Ports
Supervisor Engine 720 port 1 has a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) connector and has no unique
configuration options.
Supervisor Engine 720 port 2 has an RJ-45 connector and an SFP connector (default). To use the RJ-45
connector, you must change the configuration.
To configure port 2 on a Supervisor Engine 720 to use either the RJ-45 connector or the SFP connector,
perform this task:
Command
Step 1
Router(config)# interface gigabitethernet slot/2
Step 2
Router(config-if)# media-type {rj45 | sfp}
Router(config-if)# no media-type
This example shows how to configure port 2 on a Supervisor Engine 720 in slot 5 to use the RJ-45
connector:
Router(config)# interface gigabitethernet 5/2
Router(config-if)# media-type rj45
