RE: Cat6500 - native or hybrid (again!)

Dave has a point..we don't run voice on the gateways, and we only use
catos
On access switches in the 6509 chassis. All our voice and wlan goes thru
the access
Switches first.

I don't know about the rommon issue, we use whatever comes with the
sup-2/msfc-2..
We don't really have a need for changing it, and its easy to cause
problems with the
Low level code....ask anyone who has made a mistake on the msfc-1
upgrade...

   One caveat. If your incorporating voice modules into your 6500 most
if not all are only supported in hybrid, the inverse is true for OSM
modules.

   Quick question Larry or anyone. What is the differance between 6.1.4

ROMMON1 and 6.1.4 ROMMON2???? Looking to upgrade ROMMONS on a SUP2,
went to download the code when I noticed version 1 and 2 but can't find
any info on the two!!!
