At Networkers, they said only the primary Sup/MSFC could program the ASICs for full speed forwarding. The backup/secondary had to do everything in software. It's a really big performance hit. I don't think they made a distinction between native and hybrid.
>>> "Michael L. Williams" 08/19/02 07:22PM >>> When you have two Sups and you're running Native IOS, you cannot run HSRP between them...as you mentioned, one sup is active and the other is standby and there's about 90-120 seconds of downtime when one sup fails because the other sup has to re-initialize the hardware (the standby sup (if you watch from a console while it boots) actually boots part way.... it loads IOS but then waits... when the other sup fails, it "finishes" the boot process by initializing the blades and then running as normal) We have 2 6509s, and we run HSRP between the sups on them so that if there is a sup failure, only the devices attached to the switch with the failed sup are affected..... the others work fine because HSRP will keep at least one MSFC up and running. If you use the following commands in global config mode, it will setup so that when you make config changes on the primary sup and save them, that it will automatically update the config on the backup sup too..... redundancy main-cpu auto-sync standard [snip] Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=51748&t=51654 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
