Release Notes for Catalyst 6000 Family Software Release 5.x 39

Documentation Updates for Software Release 5.2

• The Catalyst 6000 and 6500 Series Software Conﬁguration Guide, Software Release 5.2, does

not contain documentation for the set port negotiation command. Refer to the “Understanding

How Port Negotiation Works” section on page 40 and the “Conﬁguring Port Negotiation” section

on page 40 for information about port negotiation.

• The Catalyst 6000 and 6500 Series, Software Release 5.2, publications do not include the

procedure for uploading a software image through the console port using the xmodem or

ymodem procedure. Refer to the “Uploading a System Image Using Xmodem or Ymodem”

section on page 41 for the procedure.

• The Catalyst 6000 family Supervisor Engine Installation Guide incorrectly states that 1300W

and 1000W power supplies can be used in the same chassis. The guide also does not mention

conﬁguration restrictions when using the 1300W supply with two Multilayer Switch Modules

(MSMs) in a nine-slot chassis. The restrictions are as follows:

Note The 1000W power supply is used in the six-slot chassis; the 1300W supply is used in the

nine-slot chassis. Do not use the 1000W supply in the nine-slot chassis.

— Nine-Slot Chassis

Because the Catalyst 6000 family modules have different power requirements, certain switch

conﬁgurations require more power than a single power supply can provide. Although the

power management feature allows you to power all installed modules with two power

supplies, redundancy is not supported in this conﬁguration. Loss of power redundancy (and

the need for more than one supply) is only an issue when you are using two MSMs.

When operating a nine-slot chassis with power redundancy (or a single supply), the only

limitations with two MSMs are that you are limited to ﬁve 10/100 modules and cannot have

a 1000BaseX GBIC module in the remaining slot, as shown in Table 3.

— Six-Slot Chassis

When operating a six-slot chassis with power redundancy (or a single supply), there are no

limitations with two MSMs; the chassis supports two MSMs and any combination of

additional modules.
