WS-X6K-S1A-MSFC2, Cisco WS-X6K-S1A-MSFC2, Catalyst 6500 Supervisor Engine1A, 2GE, plus MSFC-2 and PFC .
The supervisor engines for the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series deliver the latest advanced switching technology with proven Cisco software to power a new generation of scalable and intelligent multilayer switching solutions for both enterprise and service provider environments. Designed to integrate data, voice, and video into a single platform for fully integrated IP communications, the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series supervisor engines enable intelligent, resilient, scalable, and secure high performance multilayer switching solutions.
The widely deployed Supervisor Engine 1A and Supervisor Engine 2 are used in wiring closets, distribution/core, data center, and WAN edge configurations enabling the seamless integration of advanced services such as security, voice, and content into a converged network that reduces the total cost of ownership. And the new Supervisor Engine 720 is ideally suited for high performance core, data center, and metro Ethernet deployments with its scalable performance of up to 400 million packets per second using a 720 Gbps switch fabric.
By sharing a common set of interfaces, operating system and management tools, the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series supervisors provide operational consistency-enabling common sparing and minimizing training requirements; all modules feature predictable performance and a broad range of capabilities. Supervisor Engine 1A and Supervisor Engine 2 highlights include:
