Hi Andras,

do you know if that is also true for the SUP 6-E?

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst4500/12.2/54sg/command/reference/ch2a_ins.html#wp1582722

states that the command is not supported on SUP 6-E. The document at
the URL you posted doesn't show these limitations. I have the command
available on our SUP 6-E catalyst but I didn't try it.

Regards,

Sebastian
