We recently tried to upgrade our Cisco 6509 switch from a Sup1A to a Sup 2 supervisor engine. We would have liked to moved up to a newer Supervisor engine but a used Sup2 was all that we could afford. Hi All, I have one Cisco 6509-E switch with WS-SUP32-GE-3B supervisor engine. Now i want to upgrade my supervisor engine with VS-S2T-10G. At present i have only one WS-SUP32-GE-3B Sup card connected to switch but now I have to install 2 new SUP-2T.
The CiscoSupervisor Engine is the brain of many of Cisco's switches. The Supervisor Engine has evolved several times. While it is the management segment of many routers, the power of the switch is often much greater than that of the Supervisor Engine because one of the features of many switches is that dozens of the functions are accelerated by ASIC chips.
Abridged list of features:
- 802.1q VLAN
- Spanning Tree Protocol
- Ether Channel
- Jumbo Frames
- (E)IGRP, OSPF, RIP (2), Static Routing
- BGP, IS-IS
- QOS
- Some have Layer 3 & 4 Switching[clarification needed]
