I have a Cisco 4503 Switch with Supervisor engine II plus, and i need to configure OSPF routing on it and it doesn't support. How can i overcome this issue?

Hi,
The Sup II doesn?t support OSPF routing, I thing the only way to overcome this issue is to upgrade to a SUP IV.
See this link for more info.

It's a hardware limitation, you need to have Sup IV or later.
If budget is an issue, I recommend getting a router (1800 would do) to run the routing protocol and let the switch handle the layer2 tasks.

I believe you'll need at least a SUP IV to do OSPF or any real routing protocol.
Have you tried static routes? I have SUP IIIs on a few 4K6 boxes and can add static routes.
