Description |
| Chassis compatibility |
Supported only on all Catalyst 6500 E-series chassis. |
| Software requirements (minimum) |
12.2(50)SY |
| Fan trayrequirements |
Both versions of the Supervisor Engine 2T require that a high-speed fan tray be installed in the chassis. |
| Note Low-speed fan trays do not provide sufficient cooling for Supervisor Engine 2T. |
| Slot installation restrictions |
Supervisor Engine 2T must be installed in: |
| Slots 1 and 2 in a 3-slot or a 4-slot chassis |
| Slots 5 and 6 in a 6-slot or a 9-slot chassis |
| Slots 7 and 8 in a 13-slot chassis |
| Note The primary supervisor engine can be installed in either slot. |
| Note When the Supervisor Engine 2T is installed in a chassis with either a WS-X69xx or a WS-X68xx module, there is a requirement that the two slots adjacent to the supervisor engine and the module either have a module installed in them or, if the slots are unused, have a switching-module filler plate (Cisco part number SLOTBLANK-09 or WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR-E) installed for NEBS compliance. Do not use blank slot covers (WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR) to cover the adjacent unused slots. |
| Hardware restrictions |
Supported only in Catalyst 6500 E-series switches. |
| Supports only modules equipped with the DFC4-A, DFC4-AXL, DFC4-E, DFC4-EXL, or the CFC daughter cards. Modules equipped with DFC3 daughter cards are not supported. For further information on hardware restrictions and module support, refer to the software release notes at the following URL: |

| RESET switch |
The RESET switch allows you to reset and restart the switch. |
| Note Because the reset switch is recessed in the supervisor engine faceplate, you must use a ballpoint pen tip or other small, pointed object to access the switch. |
| CONSOLE port |
This is a 10/100/1000 port that uses an RJ-45 connector. The CONSOLE port allows you to access the switch either locally (with a console terminal) or remotely (with a modem). The CONSOLE port is an EIA/TIA-232 asynchronous, serial connection with hardware flow control. |
| Universal Serial Bus(USB) port |
Two USB 2.0 ports are provided. The USB 5-pin mini Type-B connector is used as a console port allowing attachment to PCs that are not equipped with an RS-232 interface. The second USB port is currently not supported. |
| MANAGEMENT port |
A 10/100/1000 copper port used for out-of-band Ethernet management of the switch. |
| DISK 0 slot and LED |
One PCMCIA slot is available. The PCMCIA slots allow a Flash PC card to be installed providing additional flash memory. You can use this flash memory to store and run software images or to serve as an I/O device. An eject button is located on the left side, next to each slot. Pushing in on the button ejects the Flash PC card from the slot. The slot supports 1 GB Flash PC cards. |
| The PCMCIA slot has an activity LED associated with it. |
| Uplink ports (PORT 1 through PORT 5) |
|
Supervisor Engine 2T has five uplink ports: |
| – |
| Two 10GBASE-X ports |
| – |
| Three 1000BASE-X ports |
| Note The two 10GBASE-X ports require X2 transceiver modules; the three 1000BASE-X uplink ports require SFP transceiver modules. For X2 and SFP transceiver support, refer to the compatibility matrices at the following URL: |
| Note In chassis configurations where there are redundant supervisor engines installed, the uplink ports on the supervisor engine that is in standby mode are fully functional. |
| Each uplink port has a link LED associated with it. |
