Disaster Recovery for Module Software Upgrades

Disaster Recovery for Supervisor Engines Running Catalyst Operating System Software

To perform disaster recovery on systems that use the Catalyst operating system software on the supervisor engine, perform these steps:

Step 1 Before performing the disaster recovery, remove the port adapters from the CMM.

See the “Removing and Replacing Port Adapters” section on page 19 for removal procedures.

Step 2 Enter the copy tftp [device] command to copy the golden image for the CMM to the supervisor engine flash memory where [device] can be any flash file system on the supervisor engine.

Step 3 Enter the set filename-alias[alias-name] [device]:[golden-image] command to translate the filename of the downloaded file.

The [golden-image] is the file to be downloaded, and the [device] can be any flash file system on the supervisor engine. See Table 8 for configuring the appropriate [alias-name] corresponding to the supervisor engine type in use.

Step 4 Enter the set module power down [mod] [pm_option] command to power down the CMM.

See Table 8 for configuring the appropriate [pm_option] corresponding to the supervisor engine type in use.

Step 5 Enter the set poll disable command to disable polling.

Step 6 Enter the set module power up [mod] command to power up the CMM.

When the CMM powers up, disaster recovery is complete.

Step 7 After you complete the disaster recovery, enter the clear filename-alias[alias-name] command to terminate the filename translation.

Step 8 Set the power management option for the CMM to zero (0).

This step is necessary to prevent the download mechanism from triggering every time that the CMM is reset.

Step 9 Enter the set poll enable command to enable polling.

Disaster Recovery for Supervisor Engines Running Cisco IOS Software

Note This procedure requires supervisor engine software release 12.2(18)SFX or later.

To perform disaster recovery on systems that use Cisco IOS software on the supervisor engine, perform these steps:

Step 1 Before performing the disaster recovery, remove the port adapters from the CMM.

See the “Removing and Replacing Port Adapters” section on page 19 for removal procedures.

Step 2 Enter the copy tftp [device] command to copy the golden image for the CMM to the supervisor engine flash memory where [device] can be any flash file system on the supervisor engine.

6513-E, 6500-E, WS-C6513-E-RF specifications

Cisco Systems is renowned for its networking and telecommunications equipment, and its Catalyst 6500-E series, including models like the 6513-E and WS-C6513-E-RF, exemplifies cutting-edge technology in enterprise networking. The Catalyst 6500-E series switches are versatile, high-performance devices designed to meet the demands of large enterprises and data centers.

The Cisco Catalyst 6513-E switch is a modular chassis that supports a variety of interface modules and line cards, allowing sleek customization and scalability to accommodate growing networks. The 6513-E features a 13-slot architecture, allowing for up to 11 modules, plus a dedicated supervisor engine for enhanced performance and reliability. This switch can support a mix of Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, providing great flexibility depending on network requirements.

One of the hallmark technologies of the 6500-E series is Cisco's Virtual Switching System (VSS), which enables two physical switches to operate as a single logical switch. This feature significantly enhances redundancy and improves manageability by allowing network administrators to treat multiple devices as one. The series supports sophisticated features such as Cisco's Enhanced Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities, which enable fine-tuned traffic management to prioritize critical applications and ensure optimal performance throughout the network.

Security is a paramount concern for enterprise environments, and the 6500-E series incorporates robust security features through Cisco's TrustSec technology. This function allows for the creation of secure segments within the network, improving protection against potential threats. Additionally, the switches support advanced authentication features like 802.1X, enabling secure device access.

The WS-C6513-E-RF model, which stands for “Refurbished,” offers an economical option without sacrificing the performance and reliability inherent in the series. These switches are particularly appealing to budget-conscious organizations that still need the advanced features of Cisco products.

Overall, the Cisco Systems Catalyst 6500-E series is a cornerstone for enterprise networking. With its modular design, VSS capabilities, advanced QoS features, and comprehensive security measures, it remains an ideal solution for organizations looking to build a scalable and secure network infrastructure. Its versatility through the WS-C6513-E-RF variant allows businesses of all sizes to leverage high-performance networking without a heavy financial burden. As networking demands evolve, the Catalyst 6500-E series continues to be a key player in delivering reliable and efficient networking solutions.
