The Catalyst 4503 switch supports the Supervisor Engine II, II+, II+TS, II+10GE, IV, V, and V-10GE. The supervisor engine has a nonblocking, full-duplex, switching fabric that provides connections between the supervisor engine and the switching modules. The Gigabit Ethernet ports can be configured with any combination of copper 1000BASE-T, shortwave SX, LX/LH, and ZX interfaces, or CWDM and DWDM GBICs. For a description of GBICs, refer to the Catalyst 4500 Series Module 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.
