Hi,

sorry for comming back to this topic and "old" email, but this one seems to be
the problem. When i disable ip very unicast, the problem vanishes away :(
The 6500 is actually running on SXF, but not latest: i'm running SXF15a on it, i
know that SXF16 is already there but when i last checked cisco, it states when
trying to download 16 that there is a more recent version which fixes $things
available - but i didn't found anything newer than 16 for download...?!

Two remaining questions for me:
is there an "easy" way to get something similar like verify unicast rx for
the pvlan? i guess it won't change the ip networks often, so some accesslist
or so would work, too (but i would only use it, if it doesn't impact the 6500
much, so software accesslist would be not what i want...)

second: i'm running sxf due to the possibility of fast failover to another
sup. the other two images do not provide the fast failover feature, but i read
on the list, that you can do a "manual" failover for upgrades etc. with only
a short (say 60-90 sec) downtime, which would, for me, be okay... anything else
i'm missing? could another image fix the ip unicast verify problem?

Thanks again for all suggestions + time you spend with me, helped a lot :)

Regards,
Sven
