How to configure Redundant Supervisor Engine module in Cisco IOS

Cisco Catalyst Switches like Catalyst 6500 series and Catalyst 4500-R series and highend routers lsupport Redundant Supervisor modules to be installed.

The Active Supervisor Engine syncs time and config onto the redundant supervisor engine every 1 sec and when running-config is copied to the Start-up config.
