• Supervisor Engine 720
• Catalyst 6506 6509 6509-NEB-A 6513 chassis

Catalyst 6500 series mixed media/fiber-based gigabit Ethernet interface modules are used in distribution and core layers data-center and Metro Ethernet applications. This gigabit Ethernet interface module deliver wire-speed switched connectivity and support several switch fabric connections and traffic forwarding options. With a range of port densities and modular physical layer interfaces this module also offer a choice of packet buffer depths for traffic shaping and QoS granularity with varying number of queues and drop threshold options.

• Primary Applications: High performance distribution core layer and data center
• Mean time between failures (MTBF): seven years for system configuration
• Scheduler: Deficit Weighted Round Robin (DWRR)
• Buffer Size per Port: Rx-166KB Tx-1.17MB
• Optional DFC Upgrade Support: Use WS-F6700-DFC3 with Supervisor Engine 720
• Backplane/Switch Fabric Connections
• This modules also offer a choice of packet buffer depths for traffic shaping and QoS granularity with varying number of queues and drop threshold options

Performance/Forwarding Rate (Mpps):

• 720 Gbps using CEF; Up to 30 Mpps per system
• Using dCEF upgrade: up to 48 Mpps
