Cisco 6500vss DHCP Monitor and the 201 release notes

In the 201 release notes there is an item that says the following

Fixed an issue that prevented Cisco 6509-E devices using VSS configurations being added. 6

I assume this means adding a 6500vss that is running DHCP scopes. If that is correct does anyone know what version of IOS is supporting this statement? Clicking on the litter "6" took me to a list of numbers that don't mean anything to me(searchable?).

Currently, when you try an add a Cisco DHCP server IPAM will query that device with the command "show IP DHCP pool", however with code versions 12.2(33)SXI3 and earlier(dont know about later, dont have any dev 6500v$$) the command "pool" doesn't exist. The proper command, I assume, would be "show IP DHCP binding". I also assume that dev having put this command in the release notes had some sort of working solution, just curious what IOS version that may have been.

any help is greatly appreciated.

So i just spoke to Cisco and the "show ip dhcp pool" command is introduced on the Cisco 6500 VSS in code 12.2(33)SXI4. oh goody, missed by one version level.

So the KB in question says 1.7 and above, and says sh ip dhcp pool needs to be supported. WHich is a command that doesnt exist on the Cisco 6500vss. So why is VSS specifically mentioned in the release notes for 201? The kb, and the currently function ipam v201 would appear to conflict with the release notes. Unless there is a version of the VSS code after 12.2(33) which the pool command is valid, if that is indeed the case then the KB is in conflict by stating that 12.2(8) or later.

Sorry about the confusion......there was a fix that was rolled into the 2.0.1 release that should allow you to add the device. I would suggest opening a support ticket for further investigation. In the meantime I'll see if I can get an update as well and update the KB.

Ahh ok thanks, I have a ticket open currently and I also have a call into Cisco to see if any of the "later than 33" versions support "pool". I'll report back.

If anyone reading this has a 6500 VSS being monitored by the DHCP monitor I would really like to know, just so I know its possible.

thanks
