Product Review

The Cisco WS-X6716-10G-3C module offers 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports with X2 optics, supporting a high bandwidth capacity with a 40 Gbps switch fabric connection, suitable for environments requiring high-speed data transfer. However, its 4:1 oversubscription rate may limit performance under peak loads, which could be a drawback for networks with high traffic volumes. Additionally, it features a comprehensive queuing mechanism and supports up to 256,000 forwarding entries, providing efficient data handling and scalability for growing network demands.

Overview

The Cisco WS-X6716-10G-3C is a high-performance, 16-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet module designed for the Cisco Catalyst 6500 E-Series chassis and the Virtual Switching System (VSS). It is engineered to meet the demands of high-density, bandwidth-intensive network environments. This module features X2 optics and a switch fabric connection of 40 Gbps, ensuring efficient data flow and connectivity. The module's oversubscription rate is set at 4:1, balancing high-speed data transfer with cost-effectiveness. Equipped with the DFC3C Distributed Forwarding Engine, the Cisco WS-X6716-10G-3C enhances the processing of packets, allowing for a smoother and more reliable network experience. It supports up to 256,000 forwarding entries, enabling extensive network scalability and flexibility. The module's advanced queuing mechanism includes Class of Service (CoS) and Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) based queue mapping, which, along with its scheduling features—DWRR, WRED in oversubscription mode, and DWRR, WRED, SRR at egress in performance mode—ensures efficient traffic management and prioritization. Port buffers are another critical feature, with 90 MB available per port group in oversubscription mode and 200 MB per port in performance mode, facilitating smooth data transmission even under heavy loads. Jumbo frame support of up to 9216 bytes is also provided, allowing for the efficient handling of large data packets and reducing overhead.
  • Maximum port density per chassis reaches up to 130 ports in a 9-slot chassis and 260 ports per VSS, offering extensive scalability.
  • Compatible with Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Virtual Switching Supervisor Engine 720 with 10GE uplinks or Supervisor Engine 720 with any PFC, this module ensures seamless integration and enhanced performance.
  • The module supports any Cisco Catalyst 6500 E-Series Chassis, offering flexibility in deployment and upgrades.
With 1 GB of onboard memory and dimensions of 1.2 x 14.4 x 16 inches, the module weighs 13 lbs and operates efficiently within a temperature range of 0 °C to 55 °C. Its storage temperature range is -40 °C to 75 °C, with a relative humidity tolerance of 10% to 90% (non-condensing), and it can operate at altitudes from –500 to 10000 ft. The module requires 457.8 W of power and features indicators for status and link monitoring, simplifying maintenance and troubleshooting. In conclusion, the Cisco WS-X6716-10G-3C module is a powerful solution for enterprises and service providers looking to expand their network's capacity and performance. Its comprehensive set of features ensures that it can meet the needs of demanding network environments, making it a valuable addition to any Cisco Catalyst 6500 E-Series chassis deployment.
