With the 1-Gigabit Ethernet ports disabled, the QoS port architecture of the 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports is 8q4t / 1p7q4t.
• In RPR redundancy mode, the ports on a Supervisor Engine 2T-10GE in standby mode are disabled.

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.

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.

• BFD Hardware Offload:

– Feature understanding
Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) offload support provides the functionality to offload a BFD session to the hardware. BFD is a forwarding path failure detection protocol and reduces the overall network convergence time by sending rapid failure detection packets (messages) to the routing protocols for recalculating the routing table. Previously the performance of BFD was restricted to the capabilities of CPU and IOS on the switch. Effective failure detection requires BFD to run at high frequencies (using aggressive timers as low as 50ms), which was not possible because of CPU and IOS restrictions.

– Restrictions for BFD Hardware Offload Support

• Only BFD version 1 is supported.
• Only FPGA offloaded BFD sessions are supported on Cisco C6800-SUP6T-XL
• The switch supports BFD only in Asynchronous mode or no echo mode.
• The switch supports max 128 asynchronous BFD sessions.
• BFD hardware offload is supported on port-channel interfaces, SVI and routed interface
• BFD hardware offload is not supported for BFD with TE/FRR, GRE
• BFD hardware offload is not supported for BFD Multi-Hop
• If the no echo command is executed when the session is up, use the shut/no shut command to offload BFD in hardware.

– Information About BFD

• BFD Hardware Offload is supported for both IPv4 and IPv6 Session
• BFD Hardware Offload is supported for Static routes, OSPFv2,OSPFv3, ISIS, EIGRP and BGP

– Configuring BFD Hardware Offload Support
By default the Cisco IOS runs in echo mode. Hence, BFD is not offloaded to the hardware until the no bfd echo command is executed. The no bfd echo command changes the mode from "echo” to "Asynchronous".

• Verifying BFD Hardware Offload Support
  Ensure that the Session host value displays "Hardware". Use the show bfd neighbors detail to verify the configuration of BFD Hardware Offload.

• Identify multiple IA Client Modules by Beacon LED:
  Use the below CLI to enable blue beacon LED for a range of IA clients and slots.

Unconfigure using no form of the CLI

The below CLI to check if blue beacon led has been enabled for the respective slot.

• SSH X509.v3 certificate support

Caveats Open in Release 15.4(1)SY

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.
