Configuring and Monitoring the Integrated Switch Fabric and Switch Fabric Module on the Switch
Redundancy
No configuration is required for the Switch Fabric Module redundancy. The module in slot 5 functions
as the primary module, and a redundant Switch Fabric Module in slot 6 automatically takes over if the
primary module fails. The Catalyst 6506 and 6509 switches support a mixed redundant configuration with a
WS-C6500-SFM and a WS-X6500-SFM 2. The Catalyst 6513 switch supports a redundant configuration with
the WS-C6500-SFM2s only.
No configuration is required for the integrated 720-Gbps switch fabric redundancy. The integrated
switch fabric in the active Supervisor Engine 720 functions as the primary switch fabric. A supervisor
engine switchover will also cause a switch fabric switchover.
