The VS-S720-10G-3C is the standard-table version of the Catalyst 6500 Virtual Switching Supervisor 720 with 10GE uplinks. Its front panel carries two 10 Gigabit uplink ports, two SFP-based gigabit uplink ports and one 10/100/1000 copper port, and it can be used in a Virtual Switching System pair.
Hardware forwarding is rated at up to 450 Mpps for IPv4 routing, 225 Mpps for IPv6 routing and 450 Mpps for Layer 2 bridging, with those rates needing distributed forwarding cards in the line cards.
This version holds 256,000 IPv4 routes and 128,000 IPv6 routes, 96,000 MAC addresses and 128,000 NetFlow entries, with up to 1,024 VRFs. Unique ACLs can be applied on 512 interfaces, and MAC ACLs on IP traffic are not available.
The XL version of this supervisor raises the route table to 1,000,000 IPv4 and 500,000 IPv6 routes, NetFlow to 256,000 entries and the unique-ACL interface count to 4,000, and it adds MAC ACLs on IP. MAC table size, VRF count and forwarding rates are identical on both.
Security and QoS capacity includes 802.1x, port security, private VLANs, uRPF with up to six paths, 32,000 security ACL entries, 32,000 ACEs reserved for QoS and 1,023 aggregate policers. MPLS support covers VPNs, VRF Lite, traffic engineering and Ethernet over MPLS.
