Release Notes for Cisco IOS Release 12.1E on the Catalyst 6500 and Cisco 7600 Supervisor Engine and MSFC March 4, 2008 Note • This publication applies to these platforms: – CAT6000-SUP2/MSFC2 – 7600-SUP2/MSFC2 – CAT6000-SUP1/MSFC2 (not supported in Release 12.2(27b)E2 and later releases) – CAT6000-SUP1/MSFC1 (not supported in Release 12.2(27b)E2 and later releases) • This publication is for Cisco IOS Release 12.1E on both the supervisor engine and the MSFC. If you are running the Catalyst operating system on the supervisor engine and Cisco IOS software only on the MSFC, refer to the Release Notes for MSFC publication: http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/lan/cat6000/relnotes/ol_2309.htm In these release notes, the term “MSFC” refers to either an MSFC2 or an MSFC1, except when specifically differentiated. The term “Catalyst 6500 series switches” includes both Catalyst 6500 series and Catalyst 6000 series switches except where specifically differentiated. The most current release notes for 12.1E on the Catalyst 6500 series switches and Cisco 7600 Series Routers are available on Cisco.com: http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/lan/cat6000/12_1e/ol_2310.htm Caution Cisco IOS running on the supervisor engine and the MSFC supports redundant configurations where the supervisor engines and MSFC routers are identical. If they are not identical, one will boot first and become active and hold the other supervisor engine and MSFC in a reset condition.
