Can you post a "sh env/sh env power/sh power" (sorry i can never remember which one !!).

Also you are not running VSS are you ?

Jon

"show envir status module 4"

Francisco

Hi Jon,

thank you for your reply and guidance.

yes we are running VSS.

we installed the cards ot the two 6506-E  and we are facing the mentioned problem.

You cannot run this card in a VSS system. You need all WS-X67xx modules in a VSS system, see the VSS Q&A for details of supported modules -

VSS Q&A

Jon

Yes,

That module is not compatible with VSS. See my VSS hardware details to have an idea:

2 x C6506-E running IOS 12.2-33SXI

SUP720 10GE

WS-X6748-GE-TX module

2 x WS-CAC-3000W power supplies.

Regards.
