hi ,

We already have 4510R+E 10 slot with SUP6 who has in production , and now We purchased the new one , same chassis with SUP7 , also we purchased one more SUP7 with licence for upgrade old chassis ( with SUP6 ) . As I said am not good with this and please can you advise me how to change SUP6 with new one , how to have redundancy between this two chassis , what with this licence ?

As you have a spare chassis for this case, you have few method to minimize the service impact of this change.

For the redundancy part, it depends what is the role for the existing chassis. You may consider to use traditional HSRP as the gateway redundancy or build up VSS on both chassis as a single virtual switch (required enterprise license).

Anyway, it is not a minor change, I would suggest you to postpone the change and wait until the new Man... or get the professional service from your SI, pretty sure that you cannot handle for this change.

Chassis supported, but no old linecards do. Really spend time with compatibility matrices before cutting the pipes.
On human side if one is fired and you are threatened with same it is best to find new job and go.
