Chapter 9 Configuring Cisco NSF with SSO Supervisor Engine Redundancy About NSF with SSO Supervisor Engine Redundancy
Table 9-1 lists the supervisor engines and Catalyst 4500 series switches that support NSF-awareness:
Starting with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(20)EWA, the Catalyst 4500 series switch supported
NSF-awareness for the EIGRP, IS-IS, OSPF, and BGP protocols. Starting with Cisco IOS Release
12.2(31)SG, the Catalyst 4500 series switch supported NSF-awareness for the EIGRP-stub in IP Base
image for all supervisor engines. NSF-awareness is turned on by default for EIGRP-stub, EIGRP, IS-IS,
and OSPF protocols. You need to turn BGP on manually.
If the supervisor engine is configured for BGP (with the graceful-restart command), EIGRP, OSPF, or
IS-IS routing protocols, routing updates are automatically sent during the supervisor engine switchover
of a neighboring NSF-capable switch (typically a Catalyst 6500 series switch).
Starting with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(31)SG, the Catalyst 4500 series switch supports NSF-capability.
Table 9-2 lists the supervisor engines and Catalyst 4500 series switches that support NSF-capable.
