Hi all,



for a customer I need to change the core componentents from Hybrid to native. The actual software is c6msfc2-dsv-mz.12.1.26.E2.bin and cat6000-sup2k8.7-6-7.bin Now I had the the following questions


  1. What is the aequavilent IOS software for this cat6509 ?
  2. And when I change to 12.2.xx I saw there are nor Desktop Version. So if the customer want a free of charge update what version should can I use? I need SSH, Routing (EIGRP, OSPF) Also where can I found a good guideline for the updates ?
  3. And at last, what should I attent while updating to native ?

Thanks Udo

This is "free" software: IP W/SSH/3DES LAN ONLY (c6k222-pk9s-mz.122-18.SXD7a.bin) If you are using "operator modules", you need different software, or if you need mpls, bgp...

And its

Hi...

Thanks, this is a cool document...

Also when I like to upgrade to the 12.2 train..maybe I also need much more memory

Do sh ver in CatOS and sh ver in MSFC, and tell how much memory you have in sup and msfc.

Actual I have only the output from a show version on the msfc

=========================================================== cisco MSFC2 (R7000) processor with 114688K/16384K bytes of memory.

509K bytes of non-volatile configuration memory. 32768K bytes of Flash internal SIMM (Sector size 512K). ========================================================== Is the output from the CAT OS different ? For my understand I have only the requiered mem and the flash ?!

And also what I don't understand, what about the BOOTLDR SW ?! This is different to the installed IOS Version ? Should I also upgrade this ? ============================================================ ROM: System Bootstrap, Version 12.1(11r)E1, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1) BOOTLDR: MSFC2 Software (C6MSFC2-DSV-M), Version 12.1(22)E1, EARLY DEPLOYMENT RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1) ===========================================================

thanks

You can look this link, table 4. This says you have WS-X6K-S2-MSFC2,

128MB/128MB.

need SUP2:

.ROMMON version 7.1(1) or later

.32-MB bootflash device

.256-MB DRAM (minimum)

.Multilayer Switch Feature Card 2 (MSFC2) with 256-MB DRAM (minimum)

Then you should upgrade MSFC2 ROMMON:

And Supervisor 2 ROMMON:

begin 666 blank.gif K1TE&.#EA`@`"`( ``/___P```"'Y! $`````+ `````"``(```("A%$`.P`` ` end

So you need to upgrade SUP2 memory to 256MB and MSFC2 memory to 256MB and Flash memory to 64MB.

Native IOS doesnt have bootldr software. Its only in hybrid.
