Status LEDs |
See Table 2-4 for a list of the status LEDs and their descriptions. |
RESET switch |
The RESET switch allows you to reset and restart the switch. Note Use a ballpoint pen tip or other small, pointed object to access the RESET button. |
CONSOLE port |
One 10/100/1000 port that uses an RJ-45 connector. The CONSOLE port allows you to access the switch either locally (with a console terminal) or remotely (with a modem). The CONSOLE port is an EIA/TIA-232 asynchronous, serial connection with hardware flow control. The CONSOLE port has an LED associated with it. |
PCMCIA slot options |
One PCMCIA slot is available. The Flash PC card (PCMCIA) slot holds a Flash PC card for additional flash memory. You can use this flash memory to store and run software images or to serve as an I/O device. Supports a 64 MB (p/n MEM-C6K-ATA-1-64M=) ATA Flash PC card. An eject button is located on the right side, next to the slot. Pushing in on the button ejects the Flash PC card from the slot. The PCMCIA slot has an LED associated with it. |
Uplink ports |
Supervisor Engine 2 has two 1000BASE-X uplink ports. The two 1000BASE-X uplink ports require GBIC transceivers. The uplink ports have LEDs associated with them. Note In chassis configurations where there are redundant supervisor engines installed, the uplink ports on the supervisor engine that is in standby mode are fully functional. |

This is a 10/100/1000 port that uses an RJ-45 connector. The CONSOLE port allows you to access the switch either locally (with a console terminal) or remotely (with a modem). The CONSOLE port is an EIA/TIA-232 asynchronous, serial connection with hardware flow control. |
DISK 0 (PCMCIA) slot and LED |
One PCMCIA slot is available. The PCMCIA slot allows a Flash PC card to be installed providing additional flash memory. You can use this flash memory to store and run software images or to serve as an I/O device. An eject button is located on the left side, next to the slot. Pushing in on the button ejects the PCMCIA card from the slot. The PCMCIA slot has an LED associated with it. |

|
SYSTEM |
The SYSTEM LED indicates the status of the system components.
- Green—All chassis environmental monitors are reporting OK.
- Orange—A minor hardware problem has been detected.

Status LEDs |
See Table 2-16 for a list of the status LEDs and their descriptions. |
RESET switch |
The RESET switch allows you to reset and restart the switch. Note Because the reset switch is recessed in the faceplate, you must use a ballpoint pen tip or other small, pointed object to access the switch. |
CONSOLE port |
This is a 10/100/1000 port that uses an RJ-45 connector. The CONSOLE port allows you to access the switch either locally (with a console terminal) or remotely (with a modem). The CONSOLE port is an EIA/TIA-232 asynchronous, serial connection with hardware flow control. |
DISK 0 and DISK 1 slot and LEDs |
Two PCMCIA slots are available. The PCMCIA slots allow a Flash PC card to be installed providing additional flash memory. You can use this flash memory to store and run software images or to serve as an I/O device. An eject button is located on the left side, next to each slot. Pushing in on the button ejects the Flash PC card from the slot. The slot supports 64, 128, 256, 512 MB, and 1 GB Flash PC cards. Each PCMCIA slot has an LED associated with it. |
Uplink ports (PORT 1 and PORT 2) |
- Supervisor Engine 720 has three uplink ports: Two 1000BASE-X SFP ports and one 10/100/1000BASE RJ-45 port. Only two ports can be active at one time.
Note The two 1000BASE-T or 1000BASE-X uplink ports require SFP transceivers to be installed. Note In chassis configurations where there are redundant supervisor engines installed, the uplink ports on the supervisor engine that is in standby mode are fully functional. Each uplink port has a LINK LED associated with it. The LINK LED indicates the link status of the corresponding port.
- Green—The port is active (the link is connected and operational).
- Flashing orange—The port failed diagnostics and is disabled.
- Orange—The port is disabled.
- Red—The supervisor engine is resetting; an overtemperature condition has occurred.
Note If the supervisor engine fails to download code and configuration information successfully during the initial reset, the LED stays red; the supervisor engine does not come online.

Two USB 2.0 ports are provided. The USB 5-pin mini Type-B connector is used as a console port allowing attachment to PCs that are not equipped with an RS-232 interface. The second USB port is currently not supported. |
MANAGEMENT port |
A 10/100/1000 copper port used for out-of-band Ethernet management of the switch. |
DISK 0 slot and LED |
One PCMCIA slot is available. The PCMCIA slots allow a Flash PC card to be installed providing additional flash memory. You can use this flash memory to store and run software images or to serve as an I/O device. An eject button is located on the left side, next to each slot. Pushing in on the button ejects the Flash PC card from the slot. The slot supports 1 GB Flash PC cards. The PCMCIA slot has an activity LED associated with it. |
Uplink ports (PORT 1 through PORT 5) |
- Supervisor Engine 2T has five uplink ports:
– Two 10GBASE-X ports – Three 1000BASE-X ports Note The two 10GBASE-X ports require X2 transceiver modules; the three 1000BASE-X uplink ports require SFP transceiver modules. For X2 and SFP transceiver support, refer to the compatibility matrices at the following URL: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/modules/ps5455/products_device_support_tables_list.html Note In chassis configurations where there are redundant supervisor engines installed, the uplink ports on the supervisor engine that is in standby mode are fully functional.
- Each uplink port has a link LED associated with it.

Table 2-22 lists and describes Supervisor Engine 6T features.
Table 2-27 Supervisor Engine 6T Features
|
|
Chassis compatibility |
Supported on Cisco Catalyst 6503-E, 6504-E, 6506-E, 6509-E, 6509-V-E, 6513-E. |
Software requirements (minimum) |
Cisco IOS® Software Release 15.3(1)SY and future releases. |
Fan tray requirements |
Both versions of the Supervisor Engine 6T require that a high-speed fan tray be installed in the chassis. Note Low-speed fan trays do not provide sufficient cooling for Supervisor Engine 6T. |
Slot installation restrictions |
Supervisor Engine 6T must be installed in:
- Slots 1 and 2 in a 3-slot or a 4-slot E-chassis
- Slots 5 and 6 in a 6-slot E-chassis
- Slots 5 and 6 in a 9-slot V-E chassis
- Slots 5 and 6 in a 9-slot E-chassis
- Slots 7 and 8 in a 13-slot E-chassis
Note The primary supervisor engine can be installed in either slot. Note When the Supervisor Engine 6T is installed in a chassis with a line card, there is a requirement that the two slots adjacent to the supervisor engine and the module either have a module installed in them or, if the slots are unused, have a switching-module filler plate (Cisco part number SLOTBLANK-09 or WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR-E) installed for NEBS compliance. Do not use blank slot covers (WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR) to cover the adjacent unused slots. |
Hardware restrictions |
- Supported only on Catalyst 6500 E-series switches.
- Supports only modules equipped with the DFC4-A, DFC4-AXLor DFC4-E, DFC4-EXL. Modules equipped with DFC3 daughter cards are not supported. For further information on hardware restrictions and module support, refer to the software release notes at the following URL:

Status LEDs |
See Table 2-24 for a list of the status LEDs and their descriptions. |
RESET switch |
The RESET switch allows you to reset and restart the switch. Note Because the reset switch is recessed in the supervisor engine faceplate, you must use a ballpoint pen tip or other small, pointed object to access the switch. |
CONSOLE port |
This is a port that uses an RJ-45 connector. The CONSOLE port allows you to access the switch either locally (with a console terminal) or remotely (with a modem). The CONSOLE port is an EIA/TIA-232 asynchronous, serial connection with hardware flow control. |
Universal Serial Bus (USB) port |
Two USB 2.0 ports are provided. The USB 5-pin mini Type-B connector is used as a console port allowing attachment to PCs that are not equipped with an RS-232 interface. The second USB port is a host port for external USB disk drive. |
MANAGEMENT port |
A 10/100/1000 copper port used for out-of-band Ethernet management of the switch. It also has a fibre port that can be used as the Ethernet Management port. You can only use one of the ports (copper or fibre) at the same time. |
Uplink ports |
- Supervisor Engine 6T has the following uplink ports:
– Eight 1GB/10GB SFP+ ports – Two 10GB/40GB QSFP ports
- Each uplink port has a link LED associated with it.
|
