| Title |
When redundancy is run, unable to use all eight ports on both of the Supervisor 5 engines in a Catalyst 4500 switch that runs Cisco IOS software |
| Core issue |
In a 4500 switch with Supervisor 5 (Sup V-10GE), when active and redundant supervisor engines are installed in the same chassis, these four uplink ports are available:
- Gig1/1
- Gig2/1
- Gig 1/2
- Gig2/2
In other words, two GigabitEthernet ports of the active supervisor, 1/1 and 1/2, are available as well as two of the standby supervisor, 2/1 and 2/2. |
| Resolution |
These are the reasons when two Supervisor Engine V-10GEs are present in a Catalyst 4510R or Catalyst 4507R switch:
-
For 10-Gigabit Ethernet Uplink Ports, one X2 uplink is active on both the primary (active) and secondary (standby) supervisor engines by default, or two uplinks are active in a nonredundant configuration.
-
For Gigabit Ethernet SFP Uplink Ports, two SFP uplinks are active on both the primary (active) and secondary (standby) supervisor engines by default, or four uplinks are active in a nonredundant configuration.
Refer to the Supervisor Engine V-10GE section of document Installation and Configuration Note for the Catalyst 4500 Series Supervisor Engine V-10GE for more information. |
