The WS-X45-SUP6L-E is the Cisco Catalyst 4500 E-Series Supervisor Engine 6L-E, a Layer 3 supervisor with two 10 Gigabit Ethernet (X2) or four Gigabit Ethernet (SFP) uplinks and an RJ-45 console port. It provides 280 Gbps of centralized switching capacity, 225 Mpps for IPv4 and Layer 2 bridging and 110 Mpps for IPv6, and it can run at 6 or 24 Gbps per line-card slot.
Tables hold 57,000 IPv4 and 30,000 IPv6 routing entries, with 4096 active VLANs, 2048 switched virtual interfaces and up to eight SPAN sessions. Memory is 512 MB of DRAM, upgradable to 1 GB. A Cisco TwinGig Converter Module turns one X2 slot into two SFP slots and ships standard unless 10 Gigabit optics are ordered. LAN Base, IP Base and Enterprise Services software packages are supported, with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(53)SG or later and 12.2(53)SG2 or later for Enterprise Services.
Chassis capacity is 136 Gbps in the Catalyst 4503-E and 280 Gbps in the 4506-E and 4507R-E. In a 4507R or 4510R with this supervisor in one slot and the other slot empty, Cisco calls for the C4K-SLOT-CVR-E blank line card in place of a plain faceplate. The spare number is WS-X45-SUP6L-E=. A sibling supervisor is the WS-X45-SUP6-E supervisor, and the rest of the range is in Cisco switches.
