 First Time Configuration
First time configuration occurs when the switch boots for the first time or when the “setup”
command is executed… Both instances will run the user through the same process

Recovering a lost enable password requires changing the configuration
register. This register is located in NVRAM and contains a 16 bit setting. One
of the bits can be reset to ignore the configuration when the switch starts
up…

16 bit Configuration Register

15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0

Bit 8 (highlighted in red above – 0x0100) is used to

tell the switch whether to ignore the switch
configuration in NVRAM on startup.

A value of “1” indicates that the configuration should

be used – a value of “0” instructs the switch to
ignore the system configuration on startup…

The Supervisor 720 has an integrated Switch Fabric Module providing 18 fabric channels that
are apportioned across each of the slots in the chassis. Each fabric channel can run at 8-Gbps
or 20-Gbps depending on the attached linecard (FDX numbers are 16-Gbps and 40-Gbps per

 Configuring I nterfac es
When running IOS, Ethernet ports can be configured with one of three interface types, Access,
Trunk or Router. Interfaces in IOS assume a different default behavior than those same ports
under CatOS in that they default to Layer 3 ports and are shutdown on initial startup.

 I nterfac e Ranges
IOS allows a group of ports to be configured at the same time with the same CLI command.
This is achieved using the “range” command. Once the range command has been entered,
you will enter the interface range configuration mode and subsequent commands entered in
this mode will apply to the interface range just specified…

 I nterfac e Range Mac ro
If a group of interfaces is configured on a regular basis, it might be more pertinent to define a
macro that associates a name with that group of interfaces. This way, the entrance into range
configuration mode can be made much easier…

All Catalyst 7600 chassis options support redundant power supplies. Power Supply options
include both AC and DC versions

For normal operation, both power supplies

should be the same wattage

The 6500 does support two power supplies with

different wattages – this scenario is targeted for
upgrade scenarios and is not recommended for
normal operation

The 6500 also supports an AC and DC power

supply installed at the same time, but again,
this is more designed for upgrade purposes
and NOT normal operation

1. System log and SYSLOG messages generated

2. System power is increased to 83% for both supplies, this providing 167% of power
supply total capacity
3. If any modules were marked power deny due to insufficient power will be brought
online if enough power is available

Combined Mode Redundant Mode

83% 83% 50% 50%

1. System log and SYSLOG messages generated

2. This mode should only be done when both power supplies are of the same wattage
3. System power is decreased to power of one power supply - each power supply would
normally revert to 50% operational capacity
4. If module configuration exceeds available power, modules powered down from bottom
slot upwards – inline devices are powered down from highest port to lowest port until
power requirement is within available limits

power cycled selectively – this is an important feature especially for some service modules
which require to be powered down prior to removing them from the chassis
