Installation Guide or the Catalyst 4500 Series Supervisor Engines and Switching
Modules Installation Note. Some supervisor engines use SFP modules for Gigabit
Ethernet connections, or X2 modules for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. Refer
to the installation note for your supervisor engine for more details on these
modules.
Slot 1 is reserved for the supervisor engine only, which provides switching, local
and remote management, and switch-status monitoring. Slot 2 is reserved for a
redundant supervisor engine only. Slots 3 through 9 are available for switching
modules. When using a Supervisor Engine V, slot 10 is a flex-slot for use with the
2-port Gigabit Ethernet switching module (WS-X4302-GB) or the Access
Gateway Module (WS-X4604-GWY) only. When using a Supervisor Engine
V-10GE, any supported module may be used in slot 10.
Table 1-4 describes the features of the Catalyst 4510R switch.
