None of the WS-X67xx boards will work with a Sup2 (they need Sup720 fabric connections). I seem to remember that there was an earlier 10G blade (something like "1 ports, no XENPAKs"), but can't find any details about it - the board name was WS-X6502-10GE, and even that one would require a fabric board for your Sup2 (CEF256 fabric) - which hardly anybody has. I'm not sure whether I'd go there... That card is EOL & will be EOS next month. You are better off upgrading the sup to sup720 and buying a 670x 10G card, it'll be cheaper & higher performance. > The WS-X6708-10G-3CXL blades are also of interest for Sup720 platform - if > they are only doing VLAN trunks out to remote switches and any routing would > be done on SVI interfaces on the Sup720 then does it matter if you get only > the 3C version? Yes. *If* there is a DFC on the board, and it's a non-XL DFC, all the switching in the system downgrades itself to "non-XL". I think you could run it as a CFC card (with no DFC), but as far as I remember, it's not sold that way and most likely "not supported". 6708/16 do not have a CFC option, they only run with DFC.
