Below are a few key details about the fiber and copper line cards:
Backplane connection: Connects to the switch fabric using dual full-duplex 20-Gbps switch fabric
channels (40 Gbps total).
Chassis/slot support: Can occupy slots 1-2 and 5-7 in C6807-XL chassis. Can occupy any slots in
Cisco Catalyst 6503E, 6504E, 6506E, 6509E, and 6509-V-E. Can occupy slots 1-6 and 9-13 in a
Cisco Catalyst 6513-E.
Supervisor engine: Compatible with Supervisor Engine 2T and Supervisor Engine 2TXL.
Distributed forwarding and performance: Comes equipped with DFC4 or DFC4XL daughter cards,
delivering optimal performance up to a sustained 60 Mpps for L2, IPv4 and MPLS forwarding and 30 Mpps
for IPv6 forwarding.
