Centralized and Distributed Forwarding Daughter Cards

The centralized forwarding card (CFC) and the distributed forwarding cards (DFC) can be installed on select Ethernet switching modules in the field to upgrade the modules to support local switching. There is one CFC and six DFC daughter cards available for installation on Catalyst 6500 series modules.

Table A-2lists the available CFC and DFC daughter cards, provides a brief description of the daughter card, and lists the modules that the daughter card is supported on.
