WS-X45-SUP7-E Cisco Catalyst 4500E Supervisor Engine 7-E

The WS-X45-SUP7-E is the Cisco Catalyst 4500E Series Supervisor Engine 7-E, an 848 Gbps supervisor with 250 Mpps of throughput. Its four nonblocking 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks use SFP+, and the same cages also accept SFP modules for up to four Gigabit Ethernet ports.

Supervisor Engine 7-E works in Catalyst 4500 E-Series chassis only and is not compatible with classic Catalyst 4500 chassis. Single-supervisor slots are slot 1 in the 4503-E and 4506-E (redundant supervisors are not supported in those two), slot 3 or 4 in the 4507R+E and 4507R-E, and slot 5 or 6 in the 4510R+E and 4510R-E, which also take redundant supervisors. It runs Cisco IOS XE, with 3.1.0 SG as the minimum release, and is not supported in Catalyst OS.

Forwarding is 250 Mpps for IPv4, 125 Mpps for IPv6 and 250 Mpps for Layer 2 bridging. The supervisor carries 2 GB of SDRAM upgradable to 4 GB, 1 GB of NVRAM and a dual-core 1.5 GHz CPU, with USB and SD card storage. Table sizes include 4,094 active VLANs, 55,000 MAC addresses, 256,000 IPv4 routes and 128,000 IPv6 routes with the Enterprise Services feature set. Power draw is 280 W for an active supervisor and 224 W for a standby one.

SD-X45-2GB-E (2 GB SD card) and USB-X45-4GB-E (4 GB USB device) are the memory and storage options. Related Catalyst 4500 parts include the C4KX-PWR-750AC-R Catalyst 4500-X power supply, and more are in Cisco switches.
