Converting to an Integrated Switch System

This chapter describes the following concepts:

•Convert to a CiscoCRS-1 Multishelf System that uses an external Cisco Catalyst 6509 Switches, to

a system that uses integrated switches that are located on the 22-port shelf controller Gigabit

Ethernet (22-port SCGE) card.

•Remove the Cisco Catalyst switches and replace them with 22-port SCGE cards.

•Remove and replace techniques are used to complete the process.
