WS-X4013+, Catalyst 4500 Supervisor Engine II-Plus, 2 Gigabit Ethernet, console RJ-45. Supervisor Engines IV, V, V-10GE, Comparison
The Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Supervisor Engine II-Plus is optimized for wiring closets for medium-sized enterprises, education customers, small enterprise, or branch offices. In scenarios that require enhanced routing (Interior Gateway Routing Protocol [IGRP], Enhanced IGRP [EIGRP], Open Shortest Path First [OSPF], Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System [IS-IS], and Border Gateway Protocol [BGP]), NetFlow services, or higher performance and scalability, customers should consider other Layer 3-capable supervisor engines. |
WS-X4013+, Catalyst 4500 Supervisor Engine II-Plus, 2 Gigabit Ethernet, console RJ-45. The Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Supervisor Engine II-Plus delivers a 64-Gbps switching fabric with a 48-million-packets-per-second (mpps) forwarding rate in hardware for Layer 2-4 traffic. Switching performance is independent of the number of route entries or advanced Layer 3 and 4 services enabled. The Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series is optimized for multimedia applications with its advanced multicast support and wire-speed switching in hardware. Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) and Source Specific Multicast (SSM) are supported, providing end users with additional scalability to support multimedia applications.
The Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Supervisor Engine II-Plus supports Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping in hardware, enhancing the performance of multimedia applications and reducing network traffic by allowing a switch to dynamically add and remove hosts from a multicast group. |
