Product Review

The Cisco WS-X6908-10G-2TXL module offers eight 10GbE ports with X2 optics, providing high bandwidth connectivity and compatibility with various network infrastructures. It features an 80 Gbps full duplex switch fabric connection and 1:1 oversubscription, ensuring efficient data forwarding and minimal traffic bottlenecks. However, its substantial power requirement of 603 W and the necessity for a Cisco Catalyst 6500 E-Series Chassis for operation may limit its deployment flexibility in environments with existing hardware or energy constraints.

Overview

The Cisco WS-X6908-10G-2TXL is a high-performance module designed for the Cisco Catalyst 6500 E-Series chassis, delivering advanced networking capabilities and high-speed connectivity to meet the demands of diverse network environments. This module features eight 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports, which provide the bandwidth needed for data-intensive applications and high-speed data transfer. The use of X2 optics supports a range of optical networking standards, allowing for flexible deployment options. With an 80 Gbps full duplex switch fabric connection, the Cisco WS-X6908-10G-2TXL ensures efficient data flow across the network, minimizing bottlenecks and maximizing throughput. The module maintains a 1:1 oversubscription rate, indicating that it provides full bandwidth to all ports without reduction. This capability is essential for applications requiring consistent high-speed connectivity. The forwarding engine of this module is equipped with the DFC4XL, enabling distributed forwarding that supports over 1 million forwarding entries. This feature enhances the efficiency of data routing and switching, reducing latency and improving overall network performance. - The module supports a comprehensive queuing mechanism, including Class of Service (CoS) and Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) based queue mapping. This allows for sophisticated traffic prioritization and management, ensuring that critical data packets receive the attention they need. - It employs advanced scheduling algorithms such as Deficit Weighted Round Robin (DWRR), Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED), and Smoothed Round Robin (SRR) at the egress. These mechanisms enhance the module's ability to manage congestion and optimize traffic flow. - The Cisco WS-X6908-10G-2TXL is equipped with 256MB of port buffers and supports jumbo frames up to 9216 bytes, enhancing its ability to handle large data packets and reducing the need for packet fragmentation. This module can achieve a maximum port density of 64 ports in a 6509-E chassis and 88 ports in a 6513-E chassis, with the potential to double these figures in a Virtual Switching System (VSS) configuration. It is compatible with any Cisco Catalyst 6500 E-Series chassis and supports Supervisor Engine 2T and 2TXL. The Cisco WS-X6908-10G-2TXL comes with 2 GB of onboard memory, and its physical dimensions are 1.2 x 14.4 x 16 inches, with a weight of 12.6 lbs. It operates within a temperature range of 0 °C to 55 °C and can be stored in temperatures from -40 °C to 75 °C. The module's humidity tolerance ranges from 10% to 90% non-condensing, ensuring reliable performance in various environmental conditions. Requiring 603 W of power, the module includes status, link, and blue beacon indicators for easy monitoring of its operational status. It meets several ETSI standards, including ETS 300 019-2-1 for storage, ETS 300 019-2-2 and 2.3 for transportation, and ETS 300 019-2-3 for stationary use, affirming its durability and reliability for critical network infrastructure. Designed specifically for use with Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series switches, this module is an essential component for enterprises seeking to enhance their network's speed, reliability, and scalability.
