thing about running the native IOS on the 6509 is the IOS autmatically configures the Primary and Secondary supervisors for me. Any change to the primary config or say Active blade is immediately applied to the secondary. Also note the secondary module is not available to configure while the primary is active. This means no console nor any other sort of access is available. It just remains say INACTIVE while the primary is online.

This was because the entire chassis of course booted. The secondary module did however become the primary almost immediately following the reload command. Now I figure that if I just removed the primary blade the system would failover immediately and not reboot my 10/100/1000 blades. To my surprise, this resulted in again 1 minute and 50 seconds downtime and network connectivity was restored. BTW The blades also appeared to reboot. In terms of High Availability am I missing something? Considering these results what would deter me from just sticking to HSRP. I am a novice and looking for some constructive input.
