Investment Protection
True to the long history of the Cisco Catalyst 6500 of maintaining support and interoperability of modules, the Cisco Catalyst 6807-XL provides unprecedented investment protection by supporting the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Supervisor Engine 2T and its family of line cards and service modules. This backward compatibility coupled with the use of the same Cisco IOS Software operating system as used on the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switch not only eases the burden of upgrades and migration but also reduces the total cost of ownership.
Features and Benefits
The Cisco Catalyst 6807-XL chassis with the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Supervisor Engine 2T supports the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Cisco IOS Software operating system, the same operating system used on the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switches. With more than 3000 features, Cisco Catalyst 6500 Cisco IOS Software is a highly evolved and mature operating system that delivers the performance, reliability, and lifecycle expected of a campus backbone switch.
Cisco Catalyst 6880-X
The Cisco Catalyst 6880-X Series Switch (Figure 2), part of the Cisco Catalyst 6800 product family, is an extensible fixed aggregation switch that delivers best-in-class Cisco Catalyst 6500 features in a fixed form factor. This 40G/100G ready platform is ideal for those who want to introduce premium 10G services in small or midsize campus backbones. Based on the proven and stable Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Supervisor Engine 2T architecture, this unique platform delivers unprecedented capabilities on day one that include best-in-class scalability, flexible 10G port density, a complete suite of L2/L3 virtualization, Virtual Switching System (VSS), Cisco Instant Access1, Application Visibility and Control (AVC), Security (Cisco TrustSec®), multicast, IPv6, and rich media services (Medianet). With full MPLS/VPLS functionality and large table sizes (up to 2M IPv4 routes), this platform also offers a cost-optimal solution for Internet edge/peering deployments as well as emerging leaf-spine models.
