Caution We strongly recommend that you read these release notes before using your switch or upgrading your switch software.


Note Although the software image in a new Catalyst 5000 family switch operates correctly, later software images containing the latest upgrades and modifications are released regularly to provide you with the most optimized software available. We strongly recommend that you check for the latest released software images at the World Wide Web locations listed in the "Cisco.com" section.



Note Release notes for prior Catalyst 5000 family software releases were accurate at the time of release. However, for information on the latest caveats and updates to previously released Catalyst 5000 family software releases, refer to the release notes for the latest maintenance release in your software release train. You can access all Catalyst 5000 family release notes at the World Wide Web locations listed in the "Cisco.com" section.

Release 6.x Memory Requirements

The Catalyst 5000 family supervisor engine 6.x software releases require a minimum of 64-MB DRAM installed on Supervisor Engine III and 32-MB DRAM installed on Supervisor Engines II G and III G.

Release 6.x Software Upgrade Path


Caution Always back up the switch configuration file before upgrading or downgrading the switch software to avoid losing all or part of the configuration stored in nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM). When you do a software downgrade, the configuration will always be lost. Use the write network command (Supervisor Engine II G or III G) or the copy config tftp command (Supervisor Engine III) to back up your configuration to a Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server. Use the copy config flash command on a Supervisor Engine III to back up the configuration to a Flash device.

Catalyst 5000 family supervisor engine software image files are available in the Software Center on Cisco.com, Cisco's Web site (software downloads are available to registered Cisco.com users only):

http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/cat5000-sup


Note Supervisor Engine I, II, and III F, and the Catalyst 2926T, Catalyst 2926F, and Catalyst 2926G series switches are not supported in software release 6.x.



Caution When you upgrade from software release versions 4.5(1), 4.5(2), 4.5(3), 5.1(x), or 5.2(1), the Token Ring module configurations are lost. The workaround is to upload the configuration to a TFTP server before upgrading and reload the configuration after the upgrade is complete. This problem only affects the configuration for the actual Token Ring module and not general configurations such as Token Ring VLANs.

Table 1 shows the supervisor engine software upgrade path to software release 6.x from previous supervisor engine software releases.

Table 1 Catalyst 5000 Family 6.x Software Upgrade Path 

Upgrade
Upgrade Path

2.4(4) through 3.2(2) to 6.x

Supervisor Engine III

No restriction. Upgrade directly to software release 6.x.

3.2(3) or later to 6.x

All Supervisor Engines

No restriction. Upgrade directly to software release 6.x.



Note In some cases, when upgrading to software release 6.x from release 4.4(1) or earlier, a "Corrupted nvlog area" error is generated. This error is harmless and can be safely ignored.


Release 6.x Supervisor Engine Support Matrix

Catalyst 5000 family switches support these supervisor engine modules in software release 6.x:

Supervisor Engine II G

Supervisor Engine III

Supervisor Engine III G

Some supervisor engine models are not supported in some switch chassis. Table 2 shows which supervisor engine models are supported in which Catalyst 5000 family switch chassis.

The supervisor engines are compatible with specific software releases. For more information, see the "Product and Software Version Support Matrix" section.

Supervisor Engine Redundancy

You can install redundant supervisor engines in your switch if the following conditions are met:

The switch must be a Catalyst 5500 series switch.

The supervisor engines must be Supervisor Engine II G, III, or III G in the following configurations:

Two Supervisor Engine IIIs with EARL 1

Two Supervisor Engine IIIs with the NFFC

Two Supervisor Engine IIIs with the NFFC II

Two Supervisor Engine II Gs without the RSFC

Two Supervisor Engine II Gs with the RSFC

Two Supervisor Engine III Gs without the RSFC

Two Supervisor Engine III Gs with the RSFC

One Supervisor Engine II G with the RSFC and one Supervisor Engine II G without the RSFC

One Supervisor Engine III G with the RSFC and one Supervisor Engine III G without the RSFC

The following redundant configurations are supported:

Supervisor Engine III with NFFC and Supervisor Engine III with NFFC-A

Supervisor Engine III with NFFCII and Supervisor Engine III with NFFCII-A

MLS is not supported for traffic on the redundant supervisor engine ports when the supervisor engine in standby mode has the NFFC or NFFCII. MLS is supported for traffic on the redundant supervisor engine ports when the supervisor engine in standby mode has the NFFC-A or NFFCII-A.

For more information on configuring supervisor engines for redundant operation, refer to the Catalyst 5000 Family Software Configuration Guide.

Product and Software Version Support Matrix

Table 3 lists the minimum supervisor engine version and the recommended supervisor engine version for Catalyst 5000 family modules and chassis.


Note There might be additional minimum software version requirements for intelligent modules (modules that run an additional, separate software image). Refer to the software release notes for the module type for more information.



Note Software Release 5.5(7a) is the General Deployment (GD) release for the Catalyst 5000 family switches.
