This is my first post into Cisco Forum, however I'm used to check it for every question or problem I have.
I'm putting back in production a Cisco 4507R-E switch with two supervisors, and what I need si to enable all SFP ports of 1Gbit by giving up the four ten gigabit ports, which I don't need anymore for the new purpose.
I've read that to accomplish that i need to issue the next command on the global config
hw-module uplink select gigabitethernet
But the switch do no recognise the command:
MAT_SW1_PT2(config)#hw-module ?
module Specify a linecard slot for the hw-module command
slot Specify a linecard slot for the hw-module command
MAT_SW1_PT2(config)#hw-module
Here is my running-config:
MAT_SW1_PT2#sh module
Chassis Type : WS-C4507R-E
Power consumed by backplane : 40 Watts
Mod Ports Card Type Model Serial No.

Any ideas?? Could be due old firmware?
Thanks in advance!!

When using the Sup II+10GE in redundant mode, you only have the first half of the ports on each supervisor. You can find that in the documentation from Cisco:
You will not be able to use all 8 Gigabit ports with these supervisors. You would need to upgrade to a newer supervisor to make use of 8 Gigabit ports, such as the Supervisor 6-E/6L-E (with the TwinGig modules).
Keep in mind that your older WS-X4548-GB-RJ45V linecards will potentially have performance issues as they are limited to 6 Gbps throughput. Upgrading to a newer supervisor won't change that restriction, but it will increase the capabilities of your WS-X4548-GB-RJ45V linecards to some degree as well (4 queues to 8 queues, IPv6 support, etc).
