Feature		Description
Supervisor engine		• Supports the Supervisor Engine II+, II+10GE, III, IV, V, V-10GE, 6-E
support		Note The blank line card (C4K-SLOT-CVR-E) must be installed when either
		of the following two situations occur:
		If your Catalyst 4507R or Catalyst 4510R switch chassis has a
		Supervisor Engine 6-E (WS-X45-SUP6-E) or Supervisor Engine 6L-E
		(WS-X45-SUP6L-E) installed in slot 1 and slot 2 is empty, you must
		install the blank line card (C4K-SLOT-CVR-E) in slot 2 rather than a
		blank faceplate (C4K-SLOT-CVR) . A blank faceplate covering the slot 2
		opening does not direct sufficient airflow to adequately cool the
		Supervisor Engine 6-E or Supervisor Engine 6L-E.
		If your Catalyst 4507R or Catalyst 4510R switch chassis has a
		Supervisor Engine 6-E (WS-X45-SUP6-E) or Supervisor Engine 6L-E
		(WS-X45-SUP6L-E) installed in slot 2 and slot 1 is empty, you must
		install the blank line card (C4K-SLOT-CVR-E) in slot 1 rather than a
		blank faceplate (C4K-SLOT-CVR) . A blank faceplate covering the slot 1
		opening does not direct sufficient airflow to adequately cool the
		Supervisor Engine 6-E or Supervisor Engine 6L-E.

•Holds the ASIC-based forwarding engine (data path) and the management processor and software (control path)

•Features interface monitoring, environmental status, and SNMP and console/Telnet interface

Note With a single supervisor, packets are not forwarded while the module is removed; a system reboot occurs when a supervisor engine is reinserted. In redundant systems, removing the active supervisor causes the standby supervisor to become active.
