From edge to core, Cisco switches provide a complete range of services for all levels of
application intelligence, unified network services, integrated security, virtualization, non-stop
communications and operational manageability.
Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series
• Flagship Catalyst switching services
platform for core-distribution
deployments
• Virtual Switching System bolsters
availability and scales to 4-terabit
capacity
• Up to 160 gigabits per slot; 100
Gigabit Ethernet ready
• Simplifies creation of separate
logical networks with Easy Virtual
Network (EVN)
• Integrated services modules
enhance security, manageability,
and wireless control
Efficiently scale, virtualize, secure,
and manage your network
remotely with Cisco Catalyst
6500 Series Switches. Offering
a high-performance, feature-rich
platform suitable for deployment in
campus, data center, WAN, and Metro
Ethernet networks, the Cisco Catalyst
6500 Series provides a strong
foundation for Borderless Networks,
so you can connect anyone,
anywhere, at any time.
Scale Performance and
Network Services
• 2 terabits per second (Tbps) fabric
delivers 80 Gbps switching capacity
per slot and scales to 4 Tbps
system capacity with Cisco Catalyst
Virtual Switching System (VSS)
• 40G-capable system supports up
to 360 10G ports and 1068 1G ports
per VSS system
• Supervisor Engine 2T supports up
to 720 mpps of IPv4 and 390 mpps
of IPv6
• Provides large table sizes for
scalable deployment with protected
control plane.
Virtual Switching System
• Activates all available bandwidth
across redundant Catalyst
6500 systems and eliminates
assymmetric routing
• Supports interchassis stateful
failover and provides deterministic
subsecond recovery
• Provides single point of
management
• Eliminates need for First-Hop
Resiliency Protocol (FHRP),
supports simplified loop-free
topologies
Network Virtualization
• Offers infrastructure consolidation
by providing segmentation, path
isolation, privacy, limited fate
sharing, membership definition,
and address space separation
technologies
• Delivers end-to-end network
virtualization using IP/MPLS
technologies.
Security
• Identifies (802. 1 x suite) , tags (SGT),
encrypts (MacSec), and enforces
(Security Group Access Control
List) with Cisco TrustSec
• Supports network device admission
control (NDAC) and endpoint
admission control (EAC)
• Provides investment protection with
ingress/egress TrustSec Reflector
Integrates Services and
Operational Efficiency
• Helps unify, simplify, and economize
your network with next-generation
integrated services modules
• Facilitates multiple generations
of components on one chassis
through a modular design
• Monitors switches across the
network with Switched Port
Analyzer (SPAN)/Remote Switched
Port Analyzer (RSPAN) and
virtually connects an analyzer to
almost any port on the network
with Encapsulated Remote SPAN
(ERSPAN)
• Provides application visibility
through flexible, egress, sampled
Netflow, and CPU Preserving
Netflow Export
• Offers image recovery and console
logging through the Connectivity
Management Processor (CMP)
• Delivers onboard packet capture
with Mini Port Analyzer
