I have a 6500 in both hybrid and native modes since we have customers doing both. I am not sure what you mean when you say you can't see the RP in the cat running OS. The RP and SP convention are particular to native mode. When running catOS the "RP" is the MSFC and you session/switch console to it and frmm there look at it's flash. In native there is no clear delineation between the two, it's one big router.

Again what do you mean "from the RP"? Here is what you can do from the "router" in native mode. The dir bootflash looks at the RP bootflash, sup-bootflash and sup-slot0 are the sup cards bootflash and PCMCIA card respectively. Slot0: is identical to the sup-slot0:. Some of the others must be future stuff as the don't work Native6506#dir ? /all List all files /recursive List files recursively all-filesystems List files on all filesystems bootflash: Directory or file name const_nvram: Directory or file name flash: Directory or file name null: Directory or file name nvram: Directory or file name slavebootflash: Directory or file name slaveconst_nvram: Directory or file name slavenvram: Directory or file name slavercsf: Directory or file name slaveslot0: Directory or file name slavesup-bootflash: Directory or file name slot0: Directory or file name sup-bootflash: Directory or file name sup-image: Directory or file name sup-microcode: Directory or file name sup-slot0: Directory or file name system: Directory or file name Native6506#dir sup-image: %Error opening sup-image:/ (No such device) Native6506#Native6506#dir sup-image: dave > > Cheers > > Pat > > ""MADMAN"" wrote in message > [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > > What are you typing? > > > > Native6506#dir bootflash: > > Directory of bootflash:/ > > > > 1 -rw- 7110024 Mar 29 2002 12:48:52 c6msfc2-js-mz.121-4.E1 > > 2 -rw- 1611604 Mar 29 2002 12:49:42 c6msfc2-boot-mz.121-4.E1 > > 3 -rw- 528259 Mar 28 2002 07:19:26 DRACO2_RM2.srec.121-4r.E > > > > shows the bootflash of the MSFC or RP in this case. > > > > a dir slot0: will show the contents of the PCMCIA card in the SUP > > module: > > > > Native6506#dir slot0: > > Directory of slot0:/ > > > > 1 -rw- 14780268 Oct 14 2002 10:36:19 > > c6sup12-js-mz.121-13.E.bin > > > > Dave > > > > > > Patrick Donlon wrote: > > > > > > Hi > > > > > > I'm upgrading a CAT6 from OS to IOS but I can't see my flash card in the > > > route processor.
