Although an automated tool exists for converting both the configuration commands and software from hybrid to native, Cisco does not offer automated tools to convert from native to hybrid. Users can be challenged with converting from native to hybrid when integrating equipment from other companies or locations, or when receiving a new Supervisor card already running native, when the organization has decided to run hybrid as the standard. For example, the Supervisor 720 initially shipped with only native IOS support, and only later did hybrid software solutions become available. Some users chose to convert from native to hybrid after the new software became available.
The manual process for converting from native to hybrid using a Supervisor 720 with an MSFC3 is outlined in the following steps. This process can be used with other Catalyst 6000/6500 Supervisor/MSFC combinations using the appropriate software versions for each. Always check the Catalyst 6000/6500 Series Release Notes for memory and ROMMON requirements:
