[c-nsp] Catalyst 650x sup2 or sup32

[Scott McGrath]

Sup32 - Sup2 is obsolete it's had a GREAT run we just took our last sup 
2's out of production this year and they were installed in 2000 so in a 
technology sense they were almost immortal

- Sup2 does not support ipv6 in hardware
- going forward Cisco will be supporting the Sup32 not the 2
