Specifications

   Product Overview
  • The WS-X6K-S2-MSFC2 is a Supervisor Engine module designed for the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series switches. It integrates both the Policy Feature Card 2 (PFC2) and the Multilayer Switch Feature Card 2 (MSFC2), providing advanced Layer 3 routing and high-performance switching capabilities. This combination enables the switch to efficiently handle demanding networking environments with features like robust routing protocols, high-performance packet forwarding, and enhanced Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities.
   Features:
  • Integrated PFC2 and MSFC2: Combines hardware-based Layer 3 forwarding with Cisco IOS software, supporting advanced networking protocols like OSPF, EIGRP, BGP, and MPLS for seamless routing and switching.
  • High Performance: The engine delivers up to 30 million packets per second (Mpps) forwarding rate and supports up to 256 Gbps bandwidth when coupled with the Switch Fabric Module (SFM), ensuring high-throughput and low-latency network performance.
  • Enhanced QoS and Multicast Support: Supports advanced QoS features for prioritizing critical traffic (like voice or video), and enables efficient multicast replication, making it ideal for video streaming applications or bandwidth-sensitive services.
  • IPv6 Compatibility: The WS-X6K-S2-MSFC2 is fully IPv6-compatible, preparing the network for next-generation internet protocol adoption and future-proofing the infrastructure.
  • Redundancy Support: Offers high availability with the support of redundant supervisor engines, ensuring minimal downtime and business continuity in mission-critical environments.
