It's possible to run the MSFCs 2 ways...... in High Avail (under the Hybrid
CatOS/IOS) you need to enable the high system availability on the CatOS side
then configure the 2 MSFCs with HSRP. Otherwise, you have to make those
changes to both MSFCs manually (AFAIK).
That's why it's advantageous to use the Native IOS, so that you can
configure (what appears to be) a single router with a boatload of
interfaces, and all sync and replication between the active and redundant
Sup are automatic (by default in Native IOS 12.x and higher). You can run
the Native (aka Supervisor IOS) for Enhanced High Availability in which case
the one of the Sup/MSFC acts as a total physical backup for the other (i.e.
it appears as one Sup/MSFC). We just did some testing on our 6509 today by
yanking out the active Sup and timing it until the other came up. Took
about 1 minute before the standby Sup initialized all of the line cards and
was up and running completely.... (not bad considering it's just slightly
longer than an STP recalc).
Fun stuff.
