Choose the WS-X6908-10G-2TXL when table size matters. It is the XL model of the Cisco Catalyst 6900 Series 8-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet module, fitted with a DFC4XL that holds over 1 million forwarding entries, 256K ACL entries and over 1 million NetFlow entries. IPv4 forwarding speed is 60 Mpps, and IPv6 reaches 30 Mpps.
Eight ports that require X2 optics share an 80-Gbps full-duplex connection to the fabric with no oversubscription (1:1). Per-port buffer is 256 MB. Queue layout is 8q4t on receive and 1p7q4t on transmit, and bridged or routed packets can be up to 9216 bytes. Hardware TrustSec and 802.1ae MACSec are available.
Supervisor Engine 2T and 2TXL are the supported supervisors. The module runs only in E-Series chassis (6503-E, 6504-E, 6506-E, 6509-E, 6509-V-E, 6513-E) and a 6513-E takes it in slots 1 to 6 and 9 to 13, with any slot usable in the smaller E-Series chassis. Up to 64 ports fit a 6509-E and 88 a 6513-E. It carries 2 GB of onboard memory with no higher option.
The maximum power requirement is 603 W. Cisco IOS software displays WS-X6908-10GE with a WS-F6K-DFC4-EXL, and the front panel reads WS-X6908-10GE-2TXL.
The WS-X6816-10G-2T 16-port 10 Gigabit module is a 16-port 10 Gigabit companion, and the Cisco interface card category holds more Catalyst cards.
