The Catalyst 4510R-E switch supports the Supervisor Engine V, Supervisor Engine V-10GE, and

Supervisor Engine 6-E. The supervisor engine has a nonblocking, full-duplex, switching fabric that

provides connections between the supervisor engine and the switching modules. 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 en gine for more details on these modules.

Slot 5 is reserved for the supervisor engine only, which provides switching, loca l and remote

management, and switch-status monitoring. Slot 6 is reserved for a redundant supervisor engine only.

Slots 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, and 10 are available for switching modules a nd provide up to 24 Gbps per slot
