The Cisco Supervisor Engine IV (part number WS-X4515=) is a modular control processor designed for Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series switches. It acts as a centralised processing engine, managing switch operations and ensuring efficient traffic handling within large networks. This engine significantly enhances the performance and scalability of network infrastructures, making it suitable for enterprise-level environments.
Key features of the WS-X4515= include its capability to support Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching within the Cisco Catalyst system. It also provides hardware-based forwarding and routing, allowing for high throughput and improved network performance. Moreover, the Supervisory Engine IV offers multi-layer QoS (Quality of Service) functionalities, enabling prioritisation of traffic to ensure optimal performance for critical applications.
With its built-in redundancy, it helps maintain high availability in network operations by providing a backup mechanism in case of failure. Additionally, the engine facilitates management of various network tasks, such as packet switching, network security, and traffic management, all while helping to optimise power consumption across the network.
The Cisco WS-X4515= also supports Advanced IP Services Software, allowing for comprehensive IP features, such as security and classification, to be executed seamlessly. Expanding network control and management is simplified by the supervisory engine's integration with Cisco IOS Software, which allows for customisable and secure operations.
