When the sups are working correctly, all gig ports are able to be used. If the sup fails, the ports may or may not work, depending on the failure...

I just want to know if the two Gigabit Ethernet ports on each Supervisor work independently of which Supervisor is active. 1. I mean will the two Gigabit Ethernet ports on the Standby Supervisor also work and provide connectivity through the 32MBps backplane? 2. What will happen if the active Supervisor fails? Will the two Gigabit Ethernet ports on it still work? I know the MSFC and PFC will fail with the failed Supervisor, however, I am not sure about the two Gigabit Ethernet ports. Thanks all. Aziz S.
