You need fabric-enabled linecards like the WS-X6516-GBIC. Most recommendations I've seen for the PFC2 architecture include dual SUP2's, dual MSFC2's, dual SFM2's, and 2x2500W with power redundancy (especially for 6513 chassis).
You can use 'show fabric channel switchmode' to identify classic and fabic-enabled linecards. The classic ones don't have any fabric channel associations i.e. 'Num Fab Chan' column. Try not to mix classic and fabric-enabled linecards in the same chassis if using the SFM's. I would say to use Sup IOS, because that's the direction Cisco is headed, but it's still missing many features that only CatOS has. I still haven't met a friendly combination of code for the PFC2. -dre ""Tim O'Brien"" wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > You need to order the SFM2 separately (WS-X6500-SFM2).
