Cisco 6509 Problem

[Raul102801]

I have inherited a cisco 6509 in production. I can't seem to see the ethernet interfaces at all. There is several VLANS configured but I cannot see what ports are assigned to them or configure ethernet ports at all. If I try coing to configuration mode and try to configure an ethernet interface I get an error. If I so a show run it only shows serial int and Vlan.

The show version gave me the following info:

Any ideas on how to configure those ports?

Thanks

thats because you are running hybrid code.. the router MSFC runs IOS wihle the switch runs CatOS.. basically with hybrid code the devices are logically seperate but physically the same. you need to log into the switch console to do what you're looking to do.

I would look at upgrading to native IOS code if you have no dependencies on CatOS.. this will make things simplere..

This is probably a hybrid box where the layer 2 ports use the catos operating system . You should be to get on the console and be able to get into it if you don't know the ip address of the layer 2 mls . The msfc2 is the layer 3 routing portion only and why you can't get at the ports . The layer 2 side is not IOS it is catos so you will need to know how to use catos . You have to be on the catos side to config the ports.
