Hello,

I currently have a 4506 CATOS, SUP-II WS-X4013. Can I covert this to IOS or must I replace the SUP card to have it running IOS?

If possible, please provide link to documents which explains how to go through the process. Thank you.

You cannot convert a SuppII to IOS. You must have at least a Supp II plus supervisor to have IOS . Supp II is catos only.

glen.grant is right. X4013 is a CatOS Sup II and you need at least Sup II+ to run IOS. Follow this link:

Under Supervisor Engines are links that will help you navigate to which Supervisor cards you want/need.

yes thank you, i also just found this link which lists which sups can run IOS vs CatOS

Thanks again,

The only models that can be converted from catos to IOS are the 6500 series.

But from what the link says I can upgrade from the SUP-II to a SUP-II Plus and that will already be running the IOS correct?

Yes. Sup-II+ is IOS while Sup-II is CatOS.
