White Paper Abstract:
This paper provides information about GOLD on the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series. It begins with an overview of GOLD and then covers the main diagnostic mechanisms available on the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series. Although GOLD implements many mechanisms to ensure that a unit is healthy, this paper does not provide an exhaustive list of diagnostics tests available on the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series. GOLD was integrated on the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series in Supervisor Engine 2 Cisco IOS® Software Release 12.1(13)E and 12.2(17d)SXB and in the Supervisor Engine 720 Cisco IOS Software Release 12.2(14)SX. Later releases on the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series increase diagnostic coverage with more tests.
