When you run Cisco IOS Software, check the memory requirements on both the Supervisor and MSFC. !- This is the amount of DRAM and Flash size installed on the switch. !- This is the boot ROM version that runs on your switch. Issue the show version command on Catalyst 6000/6500 switches that run CatOS. The show version command displays the BootROM version, DRAM installed and the bootflash size on your switch.
Refer to Release Notes for Catalyst 6000/6500 Series Switches in order to verify the requirements for the new software image. Check whether your switch supports the requirements. Verify the minimum amount of DRAM, flash memory and Boot ROM version necessary for the new software release. Pre-Upgrade Steps Check Memory and Boot ROM Requirement Note: Refer to Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switches for more information. You can use a single Cisco IOS image as the system software in order to run both the Supervisor and MSFC on Catalyst 6500/6000 switches. If the optional Multilayer Switch Feature Card (MSFC) is installed, use a separate Cisco IOS image in order to run the MSFC.Ĭisco IOS on both the Supervisor and MSFC (Native): You can use a CatOS image as the system software in order to run the Supervisor on Catalyst 6500/6000 switches.
