Policy Feature Cards Supported

• Policy Feature Card 4 Guidelines and Restrictions
• Policy Feature Card 4XL
• Policy Feature Card 4

Policy Feature Card 4 Guidelines and Restrictions

• The PFC4 supports a theoretical maximum of 131,072 (128K) MAC addresses with 118,000 (115.2K) MAC addresses as the recommended maximum.
• The PFC4 partitions the hardware FIB table to route IPv4 unicast, IPv4 multicast, MPLS, and IPv6 unicast and multicast traffic in hardware. Traffic for routes that do not have entries in the hardware FIB table are processed by the route processor in software.

The defaults for XL mode are:

– IPv4 unicast and MPLS: 512,000 routes

– IPv4 multicast and IPv6 unicast and multicast: 256,000 routes

The defaults for Non-XL mode are:

– IPv4 unicast and MPLS: 192,000 routes

– IPv4 multicast and IPv6 unicast and multicast: 32,000 routes

Note The size of the global internet routing table plus any local routes might exceed the non-XL mode default partition sizes.

These are the theoretical maximum numbers of routes for the supported protocols (the maximums are not supported simultaneously):

– XL mode :

• IPv4 and MPLS: Up to 1,007,000 routes

• IPv4 multicast and IPv6 unicast and multicast: Up to 503,000 routes

– Non-XL mode :

• IPv4 and MPLS: Up to 239,000 routes

• IPv4 multicast and IPv6 unicast and multicast: Up to 119,000 routes

Enter the platform cef maximum-routes command to repartition the hardware FIB table. IPv4 unicast and MPLS require one hardware FIB table entry per route. IPv4 multicast and IPv6 unicast and multicast require two hardware FIB table entries per route. Changing the partition for one protocol makes corresponding changes in the partitions of the other protocols. You must enter the reload command to put configuration changes made with the platform cef maximum-routes command into effect.

Note With a non-XL-mode system, if your requirements cannot be met by repartitioning the hardware FIB table, upgrade components as necessary to operate in XL mode.

• You cannot use one type of PFC on one supervisor engine and a different type on the other supervisor engine for redundancy. You must use identical policy feature cards for redundancy.
• PFC4—These restrictions apply to a configuration with a PFC4 and these DFCs:

– PFC4 and DFC4—No restrictions (PFC4 mode).

– PFC4 and DFC4XL—The PFC4 restricts DFC4XL functionality: the DFC4XL functions as a DFC4 (PFC4 mode).

• PFC4XL—These restrictions apply to a configuration with a PFC4XL and these DFCs:

– PFC4XL and DFC4—PFC4XL functionality is restricted by the DFC4: after a reload with a DFC4-equipped module installed, the PFC4XL functions as a PFC4 (PFC4 mode).

– PFC4XL and DFC4XL—No restrictions (PFC4XL mode).

• Switching modules that you install after bootup that are equipped with a DFC that imposes a more restricted PFC mode than the current PFC mode remain powered down.
• You must reboot to use a switching module equipped with a DFC that imposes a more restricted PFC mode than the current PFC mode.
• Enter the show platform hardware pfc mode command to display the PFC mode.
• FIB TCAM exception may be thrown in case of a route churn where TCAM utilization is more than 80% of the total utilization. This limitation is applicable to DFC TCAM on XL line cards. If FIB TCAM exception is thrown for a transit route for IPv4 or IPv6 or MPLS traffic, the route does not get installed in FIB and connectivity gets affected. This can result in elevated CPU usage due to software switching.

All Other Power Supplies

Note The power supplies in this section are not supported in these chassis:

• Catalyst 6503-E
• Catalyst 6504-E

Chassis

• 13-Slot Chassis
• 9-Slot Chassis
• 7-Slot Chassis
• 6-Slot Chassis
• 4-Slot Chassis
• 3-Slot Chassis

Note Chassis with 64 MAC addresses automatically enable the Extended System ID feature, which is enabled with the spanning-tree extend system-id command. You cannot disable the extended-system ID in chassis that support 64 MAC addresses. The Extended System ID feature might already be enabled in your network, because it is required to support both extended-range VLANs and any chassis with 64 MAC addresses. Enabling the extended system ID feature for the first time updates the bridge IDs of all active STP instances, which might change the spanning tree topology.

Instant Access support

The Instant Access (IA) client switches WS-C3560CX-8XPD-S and WS-C3560CX-12PD-S reload three times before they link with the IA controller (Cisco Catalyst 6500 series switches).

• The first reload happens when the client switches receive SDP packet from the IA controller and the client switches convert to FEX mode.
• The next reload happens when there is a mismatch of IOS version between the IA controller and the client switches. The client switches initiate the download of the correct image from the controller and reboot with the downloaded image.
• The third reload happens if there is a mismatch of MTU between the IA controller and IA clients. IA client reloads to change the MTU of FEX host ports.

System Troubleshooting

This section contains troubleshooting guidelines for system-level problems:

• When the system is booting and running power-on diagnostics, do not reset the switch.
• After you initiate a switchover from the active supervisor engine to the redundant supervisor engine, or when you insert a redundant supervisor engine in an operating switch, always wait until the supervisor engines have synchronized and all modules are online before you remove or insert modules or supervisor engines or perform another switchover.
• If you have an interface whose speed is set to auto connected to another interface whose speed is set to a fixed value, configure the interface whose speed is set to a fixed value for half duplex. Alternately, you can configure both interfaces to a fixed-value speed and full duplex.

Module Troubleshooting

This section contains troubleshooting guidelines for module problems:

• When you hot insert a module into a chassis, be sure to use the ejector levers on the front of the module to seat the backplane pins properly. Inserting a module without using the ejector levers might cause the supervisor engine to display incorrect messages about the module. For module installation instructions, refer to the Catalyst 6500 Series Module Installation Guide.
• Whenever you connect an interface that has duplex set to autonegotiate to an end station or another networking device, make sure that the other device is configured for autonegotiation as well. If the other device is not set to autonegotiate, the autonegotiating port will remain in half-duplex mode, which can cause a duplex mismatch resulting in packet loss, late collisions, and line errors on the link.
