High-Availability Supported Features
The high-availability features for the Catalyst 6500 series switch are classified into three categories (see
Table 23-1):
• Supported features—High availability is fully supported; the feature’s database is synchronized
from the active supervisor engine to the standby supervisor engine.
• Compatible features—High availability is not supported; the feature’s database is not synchronized
from the active supervisor engine to the standby supervisor engine. However, you can enable the
compatible features when you enable high availability.
• Incompatible features—High availability is not supported. The feature’s database is not
synchronized from the active supervisor engine to the standby supervisor engine. You cannot enable
the incompatible features if you enable high availability, and you cannot enable high availability if
you enable these incompatible features.
