Supervisor Engine 2T

The Supervisor Engine 2T is the newest addition to the family of supervisor engines. The Supervisor
Engine 2T is designed to deliver higher performance, better scalability, and enhanced hardware-enabled
features. Supervisor Engine 2T integrates a high-performance 2-Terabit crossbar switch fabric that
enables 80 Gbps switching capacity per slot on 7609-S chassis. The forwarding engine on Supervisor
Engine 2T is capable of delivering high-performance forwarding for Layer 2 and Layer 3 services.
Supervisor Engine 2T delivers many new hardware-enabled innovations in the areas of security, quality
of service (QoS), virtualization, and manageability. The rich feature set of Supervisor Engine 2T
enhances applications such as traditional IP forwarding, Layer 2 and Layer 3 Multiprotocol Label
Switching (MPLS) VPNs, and VPLS.

Connects the router to other network devices. SUP-2T has two 10GE and
three 1GE uplink ports. The two 10GE ports use X2 as transceiver, and
the three 1GE ports use SFP. The uplink ports are configurable with SFP
or X2 optics modules. See the
on page 3-10 for more information.
