[c-nsp] Replacing redundant Sup720 on Catalyst 6500

[John Smith]

Greetings, 
 
To all who responded to my query ...  
 
Thank you for your responses. I appreciate it. I have couple more questions. 
 
Do I need to do anything with the SSO or Redundancy config before I remove the bad Sup module in Slot 5 and insert in the new module? 
 
The new module is coming from Cisco, so I have no idea what IOS it will have on it. We do not have a spare chassis to stage the new module coming from Cisco. 

Will the IOS and Config automatically sync with the Active module in slot 6 when I insert the new/replacement module in slot 5. 
 
Thanks again for all your help. I very much appreciate it. 
 
Thanks!
-John-

P.S :

As I said before, make sure you are replacing the STANDBY SUP, not the active one (unless NSF is configured for your IGPs, etc...).

Hello John,

Based on your posting, the sup in slot 5 is in STANDBY state, so no worries to have :-)

FYI :

Good luck !

We have a 6500 Switch in our network with two SUP720 engines running in SSO mode; one engine is Active and the other is in  Standby Hot. The Sup engines are in slot 5 and slot 6. We need to replace the card in Slot 5.

Does anyone have a step by step procedure and/or web link on how to replace the redundant supervisor card without rebooting the chassis.

Any/all help is much appreciated. Thank you.

We have the following config for the supervisors.

!
redundancy
mode sso
main-cpu
auto-sync running-config
auto-sync standard
!
