Thanks. I'll try that. I say the routers are identical. They are in config but not in IOS version. I need to implement some traffic policing and shaping using some commands that aren't available in the IOS version currently on #1. #2 has the latest IOS but w/o any of the QOS set up yet. My eventual goal is to have the two routers at the same IOS with shaping and policing setup in HSRP. I want to add #2 in while I take #1 offline and bring it up to the same IOS version. I guess that once #1 is back in the mix and I have HSRP setup then this will all be moot.
Out of my own curiosity, if it turns out that it is the problem is there a way to force a refresh of the 6509 switch port other than tracking down someone at Sprint to manually clear it?
