WS-X45-SUP8-E is the Cisco Catalyst 4500E Series Unified Access Supervisor, 928 Gbps. It provides up to eight nonblocking 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks on SFP+ ports, and the uplinks also accept SFPs for Gigabit Ethernet.
The supervisor has a quad-core 2.0 GHz CPU with 64 CPU queues, 4 GB of SDRAM and 2 GB of NVRAM. Centralized wired switching is up to 928 Gbps, with a forwarding rate of 250 Mpps for IPv4 and 125 Mpps for IPv6.
Throughput is 48 Gbps per slot in the 4503-E, 4506-E, 4507R+E and 4510R+E chassis. It is supported only in Catalyst 4500 E-Series chassis and is not compatible with the classic 4500 chassis. It runs Cisco IOS XE only, with a minimum release of IOS XE 3.3.0XO.
The switch can act as a mobility agent, which needs no license beyond IP Base, or as a mobility controller, which needs an IP Base or Enterprise Services license.
Power supplies for the chassis include the PWR-C45-1400AC in the Cisco modules category.
