WS-SUP720-3BXL Cisco Catalyst 6500/7600 Supervisor Engine 720 PFC3BXL

Route capacity is what the PFC3BXL adds: the WS-SUP720-3BXL holds 1,000,000 IPv4 and 500,000 IPv6 routes and 256,000 NetFlow entries, where the WS-SUP720-3B holds 256,000 IPv4 routes and 128,000 NetFlow entries. This Cisco Catalyst 6500/7600 Supervisor Engine 720 carries an integrated switch fabric and MSFC3, with 1 GB of DRAM for the route processor and 1 GB for the switch processor.

Forwarding reaches up to 400 Mpps for IPv4 and 200 Mpps for IPv6 with DFC3 cards, and the fabric provides up to 720 Gbps. MPLS runs in hardware, up to 1024 VRFs with 1,000,000 routes per system, and the MAC table holds 64,000 entries. Uplinks are two Gigabit Ethernet ports and there is one RS-232 console port, with compact flash options of 64, 128, 256 or 512 MB. FSU, RPR+, SSO+NSF and online insertion are supported.

The module takes the switch fabric slots, 5 and 6 in 6-slot and 9-slot chassis and 7 and 8 in the 13-slot, and it needs 2500 W AC or DC power. It weighs 11.5 lb and uses 7.82 A (328 W). It runs under Catalyst OS 8.3(2) and later and supports Classic, CEF256, dCEF256 and CEF720 modules. The WS-F6K-PFC3B policy feature card is a related Sup720 part, and more supervisors are in the Cisco misc category.
