Password Recovery

Step 3 Under the CLI Config mode, enter the tftp-server[device]:[golden-image] alias [alias-name] 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 Under the CLI exec mode, enter the hw-module module [mod] boot [pm_option] command to set the power management option for the CMM.

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

Step 5 Enter the hw-module module [mod] reset command to reset the module.

When the CMM powers up, disaster recovery is complete.

Step 6 After you complete the disaster recovery, under CLI config mode, enter the no tftp-server[device]:[golden-image] command to remove the filename translation.

Step 7 Set the power management option for the CMM to zero (0) by entering the command hw-module module [mod] boot config-register.

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

Password Recovery

Before performing the password recovery procedure, you must console into the CMM by performing these steps:

Step 1 Remove the CMM from the chassis. For removal information, see the “Removing the Module” section on page 17.

Note There are two RJ-45 ports on the CMM motherboard. The second one towards the edge or end of the motherboard is the console port.

Step 2 Connect a straight-through cable, not a regular rolled flat cable, to the console port on the motherboard.

Step 3 Remove the module directly above the CMM to allow a space for the console cable to run from the CMM motherboard to outside of the chassis.

Step 4 Reinstall the CMM into the chassis.

Step 5 Perform the recovery procedure in Password Recovery Procedure for the Catalyst 6500/6000 SeriesSwitches Running Cisco IOS System Software to recover the password for the CMM.

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.
