Sim, To show the status of the ports you need to use the "show port" command. This can be issued on it'e own and will list all ports in the chassis; or with a module number i.e. "show po 2" to show all ports on that slot; or with a single port number "sh po 2/1". As far as I am aware Gigports on supervisor modules are the same as any other in that the ports on the stanby can be used but I have not checked the 5.1(1) release notes. A quick check would be to connect them back to back i.e. 2/1 to 2/2.
As far as adding more supervisors, two things would put me off doing this. 1. This is the most expensive way of adding more ports and I'm not a shareholder. 2. You don't have anymore slots available in the chassis. Hope this helps. Filo.
