Invoking Shared-Backplane Uplink Mode on
Supervisor Engine 6-E and Supervisor Engine 6L-E
This feature enables you to use all four 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports on the supervisor engines as blocking ports when in redundant
mode.
Prior to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(40)SG, Catalyst 4500 Supervisor Engine V-10GE allowed you to enable either the dual
wire-speed 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports or four TwinGig convertor based Gigabit Ethernet SFP uplink ports when operating in
redundant mode.
Beginning with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(40)SG, you could deploy all four 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports, two blocking ports on an
active supervisor engine and two blocking ports on the standby supervisor engine, or all eight Gigabit Ethernet SFP ports, four
on the active supervisor and four on the standby supervisor engine. This capability is supported on all Catalyst 4500 and 4500E
series chassis.
To enable shared-backplane mode, enter this command:
To disable shared-backplane mode, enter this command:
Limitation and Restrictions on Supervisor Engine 8-E
• When you use Supervisor Engine 8-E in RPR or SSO mode, only the first four uplinks on each supervisor engine are
available. The second set of four uplinks are unavailable.
Command Purpose
Step 1
Switch# configure terminal
Establishes global configuration mode.
Step 2
Switch(config)# hw-module module <slot>
fpga-upgrade image <path:filename>
Upgrades the line card FPGA image on the module.
Command Purpose
Switch(config)# hw-mod uplink mode
shared-backplane
A reload of the active supervisor engine is required
to apply the new configuration.
Command Purpose
Switch(config)# no hw-mod uplink mode
shared-backplane
A reload of the active supervisor engine is required
to apply the new configuration.
