thanks harbor 235,<br />

The switch is running CATOS.

We successfully added the redundant supervisor.<br />

We have a Catalyst 6513 with a single Sup2 and we want to remove a Sup2 from another 6513 that is no longer in use and provide redundancy for the first switch.<br />
<br />
Do we need to erase the config before inserting the Sup2?<br />
<br />
Is it hot swappable?<br />
<br />
Both the Sup2 modules have the same version of CATOS.<br />
<br />
Will the active Sup2 overwrite the config of the newly installed Sup2?

Insert an additional Sup2 in a Catalyst 6513?

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.

Network design and methodology, also known as network architecture, is the design of a communication network. It is a framework for the specification of a network's physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as data formats used in its operation. In telecommunication, the specification of a network architecture may also include a detailed description of products and services delivered via a communications network, as well as detailed rate and billing structures under which services are compensated.
