Product Review

The CISCO C6880-X-LE offers impressive performance capabilities, notably supporting up to 300 Mpps for IPv4 routing and 150 Mpps for IPv6, alongside hardware-assisted NAT, indicating strong throughput for diverse network traffic types. However, its onboard memory is limited to 2 GB, which might restrict performance under high-demand scenarios, and the ingress and egress buffering could be insufficient for certain high-throughput applications. Additionally, the switch's capability to handle up to 128K MAC entries, 256K IPv4 routes, and support for up to 8192 VRFs at 300 Mpps positions it well for large, complex network environments, yet the oversubscription rate of 2:1 in its default mode might not meet the needs of networks requiring maximum performance without compromise.
