Comprehensive Centralized Management

The Cisco Catalyst Supervisor Engine 6-E features a single console port and a single IP address

to manage all system features. Remote in-band management is available with SNMP, Telnet

client, BOOTP, and Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP). Support for local or remote out-of-band

management is delivered through a terminal or modem attached to the console interface. USB

drive support will be provided in a future software release. The Cisco Smartports macro for Cisco

Catalyst switches is also supported, simplifying the configuration of the critical features for

Ethernet networks.

The Cisco Catalyst 4500 Supervisor Engine 6-E is also FAT file system-capable, allowing images

to be copied, saved, etc. with Windows-based machines with a Compact Flash. This capability will

be available in a future software release.
