Figure 4. Partial Output from Cisco Catalyst OS show version console Command

Cisco IOS Software

Figure 5 show the partial output of a show version console command in Cisco IOS Software, from

either native Cisco IOS Software or hybrid Cisco IOS Software running on the MSFC or route

processor. This example is typical from a Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Supervisor Engine 720-3B

configured with 512 MB of system memory.

Flash Memory

The native Cisco IOS Software model and hybrid software model have different requirements for

flash memory. This is primarily because of the location of the software image files and also the

combined Layer 2 and Layer 3 nature of the native Cisco IOS Software image file. Because the

Cisco IOS Software images are combined Layer 2 and Layer 3 images, they are larger than Cisco

Catalyst OS images. For example, a Cisco Catalyst OS release from the 8.5 software train might

be 24 MB, whereas a full featured native Cisco IOS Software release in 12.2SXF could be 90 MB

or larger.

When migrating from a Cisco Catalyst OS or a hybrid software model to a native Cisco IOS

Software model, one must verify that the supervisor flash memory capacity is large enough to

store the native Cisco IOS Software image file.

If the onboard flash memory of the switch processor is not large enough to store the software

image file, then the removable media storage options must be used. For instance, the Cisco

Catalyst 6500 Series Supervisor Engine 2 provides a PCMCIA slot, and the Cisco Catalyst 6500

Series Supervisor Engine 720 and Cisco Catalyst 6500 Supervisor Engine 32 provide

CompactFlash slots. Another option for Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Supervisor Engine 720

deployments would be to upgrade the onboard flash using the CompactFlash adapter. With some

exceptions, Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Supervisor Engine 720 units shipped after May 5, 2006 or

ordered with a native Cisco IOS Software Release 12.2(18)SXE5 or newer ship with 512 MB of

onboard switch processor flash memory. The exceptions to this are Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series

Supervisor Engine 720 units ordered with any Cisco Catalyst OS software release or a native
