Configuring
RPR and SSO
Catalyst 4500 series switches allow a redundant supervisor engine to take over if the active supervisor
engine fails. In software, supervisor engine redundancy is enabled by running the redundant supervisor
engine in route processor redundancy (RPR) or stateful switchover (SSO) operating mode.
Note
The minimum ROMMON requirement for running SSO is Release 12.1(20r)EW1 or
Release 12.2(20r)EW.
This chapter describes how to configure supervisor engine redundancy on the Catalyst 4507R and
Catalyst 4510R switches. It also describes the relationship between SSO and Cisco IOS NSF-awareness.
