Note The uplink ports are fully functional on the redundant supervisor engine in
standby mode.

ATM) in any combination
– Five additional switching modules in the Catalyst 6006
– Eight additional switching modules in the Catalyst 6009
Note The Switch Fabric Modules are not supported in the
Catalyst 6000 series switches.
