[c-nsp] Cat 6500: WS-X6748-SFP and VSS?

[Chuck Church]

I believe the minimum requirement to run VSS is PFC3C.  I would expect that to mean DFC3C or higher on the line cards.  Anything with 3A or 3B wouldn't work.  If you upgraded the line card DFCs to 3C or 3CXL and they're not working, I'm guessing it would be time to call TAC, I think that should work.  I would think that a linecard/DFC mismatch issue would show up in the log.  Not just have ports down.

Sorry, I have to rephrase my question after a second look:

----------------
WS-X6748-SFP
(with WS-F6700-DFC3CXL , WS-F6700-DFC3C , WS-F6700-DFC3BXL (not supported in virtual switch mode) WS-F6700-DFC3B (not supported in virtual switch mode) or WS-F6700-CFC )
----------------

So I think this reads as:

WS-X6748-SFP with DFC-3CXL or DFC3C	supported
with DFC3BXL or DFC3B				supported, but no VSS

Am I reading this correctly? I yes, I have a different problem alltogether.

I upgraded two of our core switches from Sup720-3BXL to Sup720-10GE with PFC-3CXL, then upgraded all the DFCs on the line cards and installed IOS 15.1(2)SY9.

None of the copper Gigabit interfaces work. All show "down, line protocol is down (notconnect)" regardless of the connection.

Any ideas on how to proceed from here?

BTW: this includes Gi1/1/3 and Gi2/1/3 - the copper interfaces in the supervisor engines. Not only on the 6748 linecards.

Thanks
Patrick
