Cisco 4506 new line card

cashmni1

Hi There,
can anyone give me the command to enable a module on a 4506 switch?
It says module unsupported when I run the "sh mod" comand.
I have tried all the help files in enable and configure term mode.
Thanks.

Yes the chassis will take more cards (another 2 slots left) and the card type is(WS-X4548-GB-RJ45 )
The other cards in the chassis are :(WS-X4448-GB-RJ45).

could you get me the details on the supervisor card, the exact chassis and what version software you are running?

If its one of the 13u chassis jobbies with the two power supplies on the front at the bottom .... can you confirm that both power supplies are present and powered?

To provide PoE with the 48-port PoE 10/100BASE-TX switching module in a
Catalyst 4006 switch, you must have a power entry module (PEM) and a power shelf installed. The Catalyst 4006 switch can provide 312 W per PoE module to powered devices. If the powered devices are using the maximum 15.4 W per port, there is only enough power for 18 powered devices. If the powered devices are using less than 15.4 W per port, more powered devices can be powered, up to the 312 W maximum. For more information about installing the PEM or the external power shelf, refer to the Catalyst 4000 Series Installation Guide, Catalyst 4500 Series Installation Guide, Installation and Configuration Note for the Catalyst
4500 Series AC Power Shelf, or the Catalyst 4500 Series Power Entry Module and External Power Shelf Installation Note.
To operate the 48-port PoE 10/100/1000BASE-T switching module in a Catalyst 4500 series switch, you must have an PoE-enabled power supply. All power supplies support PoE except the 1000W and 1400W AC power supplies.

Thanks for all the replies, The ver is 12.1(25) and has to be a 12.2(25) for the card to be recognised. I have to schedule a reboot.
Thanks again.
