Cisco CAT 6500CISCO 7600 SUPERVISOR

The Cisco Catalyst 6500Cisco 7600 Series Supervisor Engine 720 is a family of Supervisor Engines designed to deliver scalable performance and rich set of IP features in hardware. Its hardware based feature set can enable applications such as traditional IP forwarding Layer 2 and Layer 3 Multiprotocol Label Switching MPLS VPNs, Ethernet over MPLS EoMPLS with quality of service QoS and security features. The Supervisor engine 720 integrates a high performance 720 Gbps crossbar switch fabric with a forwarding engine in a single module, delivering 40 Gbps of switching capacity per slot enabling 4 port 10GE and 48 port 101001000 density line cards. With hardware enabled forwarding for IPv4, IPv6 and MPLS, the system performance is capable of 400 Mpps for IPv4, 200 Mpps for IPv6 traffic, with features and 1024 VRFs each populated with up to 700 routesVRF for MPLS. The Cisco Supervisor Engine 720 offers strong security features. System security is hardened with support for features such as Port Security, CPU rate limiting, Multi Path uRPF and 802.1x with VLAN. Extensive feature support such as QoS mechanisms, hardware based generic routing encapsulation GRE tunneling, and access control lists ACLs enable customers to build high performance, feature rich networks capable of offering services such as MPLS VPNs, metropolitan metro aggregation, and various WAN edge services. With enhanced security, rich QoS and scalable performance for Gigabit and 10gigabit, the Sup720 is ideal for enterprise core and distribution and data centers. The Supervisor Engine 720 builds on the proven Cisco Express Forwarding CEF architecture, by supporting centralized forwarding cCEF and distributed forwarding dCEF. The Supervisor Engine 720 delivers scalable performance, intelligence, and a broad set of features to address the needs of the most demanding service provider and enterprise deployment requirements.
