Invoking Shared-Backplane Uplink Mode on Supervisor Engine 6-E and Supervisor Engine 6L-E
• To configure the modes of operation for each X2 port group in which you want to deploy Gigabit,
enter the hw-module module m port-group p select gigabitethernet command. This configuration
is preserved across power cycles and reloads.
To deploy Gigabit Ethernet interfaces using the TwinGig Convertor, perform this task:
This example shows how to select Gigabit Ethernet interfaces on a WS-X4606-10GE-E using the
TwinGig Convertor:
Switch# config terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Switch(config)# hw-module module 1 port-group 1 select gigabitethernet
Switch(config)# exit
Switch# show int status mod 1

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.
Command Purpose
Step 1
Switch# configure terminal
Establishes global configuration mode.
Step 2
Switch(config)# hw-module module m port-group p
select [gigabitethernet | tengigabitethernet]
Selects the mode of operation for each X2 port-group.
Default is 10-Gigabit Ethernet (x2).
Step 3
Switch(config)# exit
Exits configuration mode.
Step 4
Switch# show int status mod n
Verifies the setting.
