I don't believe that is the case. According to Cisco, it is required to make several of the line cards installable in the FlexWAN modules work correctly. I don't know what the details of distributed CEF are, but it made my DS3s work, and that's the main thing I was looking for.... :-) --Danny -----Original Message----- From: Berger, Gary [mailto:Gary.Berger@dowjones.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 30, 2001 10:48 AM To: agudgeon@firstnet.co.uk; 'Danny Snyder'; nanog@merit.edu Subject: RE: More 6509 problems... Correct me if I am wrong but I believe Distributed CEF is only applicable to distributed line cards which need the X-Bar backplane.

Hi Hybrid IOS I've got IP CEF DISTRIBUTED set globally. Did you have it enabled or disabled on the T3 interface?

Alison, I've had VERY similar problems with a 6509 (Sup 1a + MSFC2) with a FlexWAN and a PA-2T3+. After spending the better part of two weeks on the phone with Cisco, we finally determined that ip cef distributed needed to be turned on in global configuration. Also, are you running native IOS or Catalyst OS on the Supervisor and IOS on the MSFC ?

Hi, Is anyone doing the following: 6509 (supervisor 1a + msfc) - with a flexWAN adapter to take a Packet Over Sonet OC-3 card. I'm having great problems getting up/up on the interface, the current situation is up/down, a hardware loop at the telco kit brings the line up/up but otherwise just up/down. Config is default I've just put IP's on. I'm running very new code - 12.1(4)E1 many thanks in advance for any help. Kind Regards Alison
