6513 SLOT-13

[jsilas007]

Is there a specific module for slot-13 on a 6513 switch with a sup2-GE module?

Thanks,

Hi,

Only if you have a Switch Fabric Module (SFM). Slots 1-8 support a single fabric channel; slots 9-13 support dual fabric channels. The only line card supported by the sup2 that requires dual fabric channels is the WS-X6816-GBIC. All other linecards that require dual fabric channels require a Sup720.

The information I reviewed is telling me that in order to use slot13 I need to install a SFM in the 6513 switch. Unless I'm reading this wrong I really can't use slot-13.

Could you point me to that information please? I do not believe that is correct.

thanks,

Bobby
