The Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Supervisor Engine V continues the nonblocking, robust Layer 2-4 switching found in previous Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Supervisor Engines. Additional performance, features, and throughput further enhance resilient control of converged data, voice, and video networks, with high availability enabling business resiliency for enterprise and metropolitan (metro) Ethernet customers. Network control extends from the backbone to the edge, with intelligent services such as granular quality of service (QoS), Internet security, and network management. The scalability of these intelligent network services is made possible with dedicated specialized resources known as ternary content addressable memory (TCAM). Ample TCAM resources (192,000 entries) enable "high feature capacity," which provides wire-speed routing and switching performance while enabling services such as QoS and security. This helps meet today's network requirements, with ample room for future growth.
The Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Supervisor Engine V offers port scalability for resilient Layer 2-4 and routing for both the enterprise and service provider market segments. Optimized for the enterprise wiring closet, branch office backbone, or Layer 3 distribution point, the Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Supervisor Engine V provides the performance and scalability to handle the network applications of today and the future.
The Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series modular architecture provides a "pay as you grow" model, reducing operational expenses and capital expenditures. The Supervisor Engine V is backward-compatible with all the classic Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series line cards and can be used in both the classic Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series chassis (Catalyst 4503, Catalyst 4506, Catalyst 4507R, and Catalyst 4510R) and with the Cisco Catalyst 4500 E-Series chassis (Catalyst 4503-E, 4506-E, 4507R-E, and 4510R-E).
Chassis and Line Card Support
The Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Supervisor Engine V can be deployed in single-chassis, nonredundant mode in the Cisco Catalyst 4503/4503-E and Catalyst 4506/4506-E chassis, or in redundant mode as an option in the Cisco Catalyst 4507R (slots 1 and 2)/4507R-E (slots 3 and 4) and Catalyst 4510R (slots 1 and 2)/4510R-E (slots 5 and 6) chassis. Table 1 shows the performance of the Supervisor Engine V for each chassis.
