Specifications

   Product Description
  • Cisco WS-X6K-S2-PFC2 is a high-performance Supervisor Engine module designed for Cisco Catalyst 6000 and 6500 series switches. It plays a critical role as the control processor and management brain of the modular chassis, handling Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, traffic forwarding, network management, and routing functions. Equipped with Policy Feature Card 2 (PFC2), it provides advanced hardware-based Layer 3 forwarding, quality of service (QoS), and access control list (ACL) processing.
