Overview
The Cisco WS-X6708-10G-3C is a high-performance module designed for the Cisco Catalyst 6500 E-Series chassis, offering advanced features tailored for demanding network environments. This module comes equipped with eight Gigabit Ethernet ports, utilizing X2 optics for superior data transmission capabilities. It is designed to facilitate a seamless 40 Gbps switch fabric connection, ensuring efficient handling of data across the network. Notably, this module operates with a 1:1 oversubscription rate, indicating a balanced approach between port density and throughput performance.
At the heart of its operation, the WS-X6708-10G-3C features a Distributed Forwarding Card (DFC3C), enhancing its ability to process and forward data with precision. This card supports a substantial number of forwarding entries, up to 256,000, allowing for extensive network segmentation and efficient data routing. The module's sophisticated queuing mechanism is designed to prioritize data packets based on Class of Service (CoS) and Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP), ensuring that critical information is delivered promptly and reliably.
The scheduling capabilities of this module are robust, including Deficit Weighted Round Robin (DWRR), Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED), and Shaped Round Robin (SRR) at egress. These features work together to optimize the flow of data, preventing congestion and maintaining quality of service across the network. Additionally, each port on the WS-X6708-10G-3C is equipped with 200 MB of buffer space, and the module supports jumbo frames up to 9216 bytes, facilitating the efficient transmission of large data packets.
- Maximum port density reaches 66 ports in a 9-slot chassis and doubles to 132 ports in a Virtual Switching System (VSS) configuration.
- Compatible with Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Virtual Switching Supervisor Engine 720, it offers flexibility in network design and scalability.
- Equipped with 1 GB of onboard memory, enhancing its processing capabilities to handle extensive network demands.
