CAT 6500 - WS_SUP32GE-3B redundancy quetion.

[astanislaus]

Currently we only have one WS-SUP32GE-3B module in slot 5 of out CAT 6500. We have just purchased a second one to put in slot 6.

Currently the module in slot 5 has the following config:

redundancy
keepalive-enable
mode sso
main-cpu
  auto-sync running-config

Once I prepare the new module to run the same IOS version as the existing module in slot 5 and during a maintenance window put the new module in slot 6, with the above config, then the config should sync from the Active module in slot 5 to the Standby modulein slot 6 - right?
