The Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series can support up to two supervisor engines (slots 1 and 2 for the Supervisor Engine 1A and Supervisor Engine 2; and slots 1 and 2 in the Cisco Catalyst 6503 and 6504 chassis, slots 5 and 6 in the Cisco Catalyst 6506 and 6509 chassis, and slot 7 and 8 in the Cisco Catalyst 6513 chassis for the Supervisor Engine 32 and Supervisor Engine 720) with one being the running, or active, supervisor engine and the other being the standby supervisor engine.

OK, so my 2 sup's are in slot 1 and 2

Now how do I configur redundance?

redundancy is configured, yet my 2 sup's, 1 is active and 1 is standby COLD. How do I m

ake it standby HOT ? so not to cause network outage when it switches?

Also, is there a command to force the switchover?

On a 6509, your Sups must go into slot 5 and 6

Slot 1 and 2 will not work

I beg to differ... I have the 2 sups in mod 1 and 2 :

The following line indicates it is standby HOT.

1    2  Catalyst 6000 supervisor 2 (Hot)       WS-X6K-S2U-MSFC2   SAD054907B8
2    2  Catalyst 6000 supervisor 2 (Active)    WS-X6K-S2-MSFC2    SAD05030E85

The above link nets you this:

Supervisor Engine 2

WS-X6K-S2-PFC2

WS-X6K-S2-MSFC2

WS-X6K-S2U-MSFC2

My mistake before:

SUPERVISOR ENGINE 2-MSFC2

Suited for deployment in the distribution/core with Classic interface modules, CEF256 interface modules and dCEF256 interface modules, Supervisor 1A-2GE provides Layer 2/3/4 forwarding with the following operational advantages:

• Layer 2-4 forwarding-Performs Layer 2-4 forwarding with Layer 2, 3, 4 features; supports dCEF256 interface modules

• Media Access Control (MAC) addresses-128K

• Forwarding rate-Up to 30 Mpps per system

• Bandwidth-32 Gbps per system; 256 Gbps with SFM in chassis

• Layer 2, 3 traffic classification and marking-Layer 2 and Layer 3 (See Table 3-QoS Features Comparison for details)

• Multilayer (Layer 3) switching-IPv4 supported (See Table 6 for details)

• Distributed forwarding-Requires Switch Fabric Module and interface modules with Distributed Forwarding Cards (DFCs); for details, see section titled How Distributed Cisco Express Forwarding (dCEF) Works

• Operating system-Cisco Catalyst OS with Cisco IOS on the MSFC and Cisco IOS Software

• Management tools-SPAN, RSPAN, VACL capture

• DRAM-128, 256, 512 MB

• Onboard flash (BootFlash)-32 MB

• Chassis supported-Cisco Catalyst 6006, 6009, 6503, 6506, 6509, 6509-NEB, 6509-NEB-A, and 6513; 7603, 7606, 7609, OSR-7609, and 7613

• Slot requirements-Slots 1 or 2 of any chassis

• Upgrade support-None required

This link should help with your redundancy Question. Basically SSO is good.
