Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Data-Only Classic Gigabit Ethernet-over-Copper
Interface Module
Designed for distribution and core layers and for data-center and Web-hosting applications, the
Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Classic 16-port Gigabit Ethernet interface modules provide line-rate
Gigabit Ethernet forwarding with the following operational advantages:
●
Forwarding architecture: These modules use centralized Cisco Express Forwarding.
●
Forwarding performance: These modules forward packets up to 15 Mpps per system.
●
Fabric connection: These modules provide a 32-Gbps shared bus connection.
●
Supervisor engine: These modules work with Supervisor Engine 1A, Supervisor Engine 2,
Supervisor 32, or Supervisor Engine 720.
●
Distributed forwarding upgrade: No upgrade is available; classic interface modules
cannot be upgraded for distributed forwarding.
●
Slot requirements: There are no slot requirements; the modules can occupy any slot in
any Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series chassis.
●
Maximum port density per chassis (16-port modules): These modules support up to
192 ports per Cisco Catalyst 6513 and up to 128 ports per Cisco Catalyst 6509.
