Supervisor Engine II-Plus TS

This section describes the Catalyst 4500 series Supervisor Engine II-Plus TS (WS-X4013+ TS). This

supervisor engine provides data path and data control for all network interfaces, and also provides

12 10/100/1000BASE-T IEEE 802.3af compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports and 8 1000BASE-X

SFP ports. A PoE-capable power supply is not needed to use PoE devices connected to the front panel

ports on the Catalyst 4500 series Supervisor Engine II-Plus TS. A PoE-capable power supply would be

needed to use PoE devices connected to modules in slot 2 and slot 3.

The Catalyst 4500 series Supervisor Engine II-Plus TS is only used in Catalyst 4503 switches. Install

the Catalyst 4500 series Supervisor Engine II-Plus TS in slot 1.

The supervisor engine is hot swappable, but packets are not forwarded when the supervisor engine has

been removed. When a supervisor engine is reinserted, the system reboots.

The Catalyst 4500 series Supervisor Engine II-Plus TS provides:

• 64-Gbps full-duplex switching, with an actual forwarding rate of 48 million packets-per-second

• 32K MAC addresses for Layer 2 switching

• 16K IP unicast adjacencies

• 2048 VLANs with 802.1Q VLAN tagging on all ports

• Cisco Inter Switch Link (ISL) tagging on all ports

• Support for Jumbo Frames on all non-blocking GE ports
