About Supervisor Modules
Supervisor modules are automatically powered up and started with the switch.
- Cisco MDS 9513 Directors have two supervisor modulesone in slot 7 (sup-1) and one in slot 8 (sup-2). When the switch powers up and both supervisor modules come up together, the active module is the one that comes up first. The standby module constantly monitors the active module. If the active module fails, the standby module takes over without any impact to user traffic.
- Cisco MDS 9506 and Cisco MDS 9509 switches have two supervisor modulesone in slot 5 (sup-1) and one in slot 6 (sup-2). When the switch powers up and both supervisor modules come up together, the active module is the one that comes up first. The standby module constantly monitors the active module. If the active module fails, the standby module takes over without any impact to user traffic.
- Cisco MDS 9216i switches have one supervisor module that includes an integrated switching module with 14 Fibre Channel ports and two Gigabit Ethernet ports.
