Hi Mohammed,

You need to upgrade fan try and power supply

Q. Will the Supervisor 720 be supported in all Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series chassis?

A. Yes. In the case of E-series chassis no fan upgrade is required. E-Chassis Fan tray is sufficient. In the case of non E-series chassis please follow the Table 2 for fan upgrade.

see table 2 in this link:

Thank you Reza

the customer wats to upgrade the SUP on the old switch ( from VS-S720-10G  to  VS-S2T-10G ) shall we upgrade the line cards to suppor the new SUP and to run the VSS between the two swiches ?

Regards

MK


Hi,

Yes, you would need to have the same type of line cards in both chassis if you want to do VSS.  If the old switch has a  VS-S720-10G installed and it is working then that chassis is already an E chasse.  There is no need to upgrade the chassis.  For VSS, make sure the line card models and the Sups are the same.
