Hi all
on a cat 6500
if I type
hw-module reset, does this reload the backup supervisor? or do I need to type hw-module 6 reset ?
and also, is the command, redundancy reload peer the same thing ?

the switch will not accept hw-module reset command. you have to include the module to reset. should be "hw-module [1-9] reset". The [1-9] depends on what chassis you have.
the reset will only affect the module you reset. if you reset the active module, the standby will become the active. if you reset the standby, no failover will happen. the active will stay active.
redundancy reload peer Reloads the standby supervisor engine.
redundancy force-switchover Conducts a manual switchover to the standby supervisor engine. The standby supervisor engine becomes the new active supervisor engine

hi there
thanks for you reply
one last thing
If i reboot the active supervisor card, will the standby automatically switch over ?
and by default, do I only have to configure 1 supervisor from scratch set up, then once configured, will it copy the whole setup to the standby ?

yes it will. when the standby supervisor engine detects a failure such as a reboot of the active supervisor or manual failover or you take out the active sup engine, the standby becomes the new active supervisor engine.
any configuration changes is done on the active sup engine. the changes are synchronise automatcially to the standby depending on how the sups are setup for suncronization.
