VS 720-10G-3C Vertual Supervisor Engine
VS-S720-10G-3C Virtual Switching Supervisor Engine for the Cisco Catalyst 6500 and Cisco Catalyst 7600 Series
The Cisco Virtual Switching Supervisor Engine 720 with 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks continues to provide investment protection to Cisco customers by supporting all three generations of Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series interfaces and services modules and offering a hardware-based feature set that enables applications such as traditional IP forwarding, Layer 2 and Layer 3 Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) VPNs, and Ethernet over MPLS (EoMPLS) with quality of service (QoS) and security features.
Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Virtual Switch supervisor engine VS-S720-10G-3C combines 2 * X2-base 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks and hardware-based layer2-4 switching feature set which enables enriched Layer 3 routing, MPLS, VPNs, QoS and security features. The combination enables high availability, operational efficiency and increased throughput with scalable performance with ease of deployment.
The supervisor engine VS-S720-10G-3C is a primary factor of the Cisco VSS 1440 Virtual Switching System, the technology pools multiple Catalyst 6500 Series switches into single virtual switch, increasing the system bandwidth to 1.4 Tbps. Configuring VSS with supervisor engine VS-720-10G-3C by using Multi-chassis EtherChannel brings numerous advantages to networks, such as increasing operational efficiency, boosting nonstop communication, providing slot efficiency, increasing throughput and improving resiliency.
Cisco Catalyst Supervisor engine VS-S720-10G-3C support for all Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series interface module classes with offering enhanced forwarding capacity and system bandwidth along with system virtualization through VSS 1440. The supervisor engine VS-S720-10G-3C with 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks has been proven its ability to meet the requirements of network in various applications, such as enterprise backbone, data center or campus access and Metro Ethernet.
