Hi all:

Anyone has tried the native IOS FSU feature in a 6500?.

If I'm not wrong, when you have 2 supervisors and RPR+ configured in your
Catalyst 6500 (this is my case) you can use this feature to upgrade the IOS
version "without rebooting" the switch. I've tried it, by i'm seeing that i
ever have a period of 48 seconds of outage (when i execute the "redundancy
force-switchover" command).

I though the RPR+ mode provided a better switchover time. Anyone can tell
me if this is normal or maybe i haven't configured this redundancy mode
properly? I'm using 12.1.13E5 and upgrading to 12.1.13E6. I have
Supervisors IA with MSFC2 and PFC.

Regards
