What problems do you have with CISCO 6509? You have plenty of forums and online documentation regarding Catalyst 6500 series with all of possible combinations (ethernet modules, supervisor modules...)

I don't have a problem with it. I just need to get another a second supervisor and I just want to make sure that I buy the correct one. I can see the part number via show module and I am not sure if there is anything I need to take into consideration before I purchase the second supervisor. Thanks

You can use &nbsp;&quot;show module&quot; to list all modules on it , it would list SUP engines and whether hard ware parts pass or fail.

Cisco Catalyst 6509

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.

Switches / Hubs

Hardware includes cell phones and other digital living devices, tablets, computers, servers, peripherals and components, printers and scanners, gaming consoles, networking hardware such as routers, hubs, switches and modems, storage devices and security equipment such as firewalls and other appliances.

Hardware

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
