Feature

Description

 

 

Ethernet speeds

Ethernet (10BASE-T) interface to workstations and repeaters

 

Fast Ethernet (100BASE-T) interface to workstations, servers, switches, and

 

routers

 

Note Autonegotiation of link speed on each 10/100 port allows migration to

 

100BASE-T from a 10BASE-T installed base.

 

Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T and 1000BASE-X) interfaces for backbone

 

interconnection of high-performance switches and routers

 

10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces for backbone interconnection of

 

high-performance switches and routers

 

 

Standard equipment

Seven-slot modular chassis with one slot reserved for a supervisor engine,

 

one slot reserved for a redundant supervisor engine, and five slots for

 

switching modules

 

Two power supply bays

 

One hot-swappable fan assembly

 

 

Power supplies

Can support a 1000 W, 1300 W, 1400 W, 2800 W, or 4200W AC-input power

 

supply or a 1400 W DC-input single or triple-input power supply1

 

Optional redundant power supply

 

 

Supervisor engine

Supports the WS-X4013+, WS-X4515, WS-X4516, WS-X4516-10GE, and

support

WS-X45-Sup6-E Supervisor Engines

 

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.
