how can i make 6506 to be having 256G switching capability

[w.zhanghua]

default, the 6506 has 32 G switching capability,

we know we can install the SFM to make more,

but how to improve to 256G, one SFM card is (256-32)224G?

or add the memories to improve ?

for exmaple : 64M-----64G?

please tell me?

Do you have Sup1a or a Sup2 in your 6506? SFM is supported only in Sup2 and you need fabric enabled linecards in your Cat6500 to acheive 256G switching bandwidth.
