Chapter 23 Configuring Redundancy
MSFC Redundancy
Example 3: Double Chassis with Dual Supervisor Engines and MSFCs
Figure 23-7
shows two Catalyst 6500 series switches (S1 and S2), each with a supervisor engine and
MSFC in slot 1 (Sup #1/MSFC #1) and slot 2 (Sup #2/MSFC #2). Because there is no Layer-2 loop,
HSRP is used for convergence and load sharing. In both switches, Sup #1 is the active supervisor engine,
and Sup #2 is the standby supervisor engine.
