Supervisor Engine 6-E

Supervisor Engine 6-E
This section describes the Catalyst 4500 E-series Supervisor Engine 6-E (WS-X45-Sup6-E). See
Figure 1. This supervisor engine provides data path and data control for all network interfaces, and
provides 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces for uplinks.
The Supervisor Engine 6-E is supported in the Catalyst 4503, 4506, 4507R, 4510R, 4503-E, 4506-E,
4507R-E, and 4510R-E switches. On the Catalyst 4503, 4503-E, 4506, and 4506-E switches, you can
install the Supervisor Engine 6-E only in slot 1. On the Catalyst 4507R or 4510R switch, you install the
primary supervisor engine in slot 1, and you can install an optional redundant supervisor engine in slot 2.
On the Catalyst 4507R-E switch, you install the primary supervisor engine in slot 3, and you can install
an optional redundant supervisor engine in slot 4. On the Catalyst 4510R-E switch, you install the
primary supervisor engine in slot 5, and you can install an optional redundant supervisor engine in slot 6.
The supervisors in a redundant system must be of the same type.
The supervisor engine is hot swappable, but packets are not forwarded when the last supervisor engine
has been removed from the switch. When a supervisor engine is reinserted into the switch, the supervisor
reboots.
