Overview of NDE and Integrated Layer 3 Switching Management

Catalyst 6500 series switches provide Layer 3 switching with Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) for
Supervisor Engine 2, Supervisor Engine 720, and Supervisor Engine 32. For Supervisor Engine 1 with
the PFC, Layer 3 switching is provided with Multilayer Switching (MLS). You can use NDE to monitor
all Layer 3-switched traffic through the Multilayer Switch Feature Card (MSFC). NDE complements the
embedded Remote Monitoring (RMON) capabilities on the switch that allow you to see all port traffic.
NDE is not supported for the IP multicast or Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) traffic.
