The Cisco Catalyst
6500/Cisco 7600 Series Supervisor Engine 720 is a new family of Supervisor
Engine(s) designed to deliver scalable performance as well as a rich set of IP
features in hardware. Its hardware-based feature set allows applications such as traditional IP forwarding, Layer 2 and Layer 3
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) and VPNs, and 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 up to 40 Gbps of
switching capacity per slot (enabling 4-port 10GE and 48-port
10/100/1000 density line cards). With total hardware-enabled forwarding for
IPv4, IPv6 and MPLS, the system performance is capable of 400 Mpps for
IPv4, 200 Mpps for IPv6 traffic, with lots of features and 1024 VRFs each
populated with as much as 700 routes/VRF for MPLS.
The
Cisco Supervisor Engine 720 offers an incredibly strong and rich set of security features.
System security is further hardened with support for features including Port
Security, CPU rate limiting, Multi-Path uRPF and a very long list 802.1x
extension. 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 campus networks, metropolitan (metro) aggregation, and
various other WAN edge networks. If you'd like to purchase a used cisco ws-sup720-3bxl or other used cisco 6500 series switches , do so now at Routermall.com. We just lowered our price.
