The Cisco Supervisor Engine 2-MSFC2, part number WS-X6K-S2-MSFC2=, is a robust control processor designed for use in Cisco Catalyst 6000 switches. This compact module features state-of-the-art networking capabilities to handle the increasing demands of enterprise systems. It provides Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching as well as spanning tree protocol enhancements, ensuring high performance and reliable data packet routing across large networks.
This Supervisor Engine is equipped with a dedicated Multilayer Switch Feature Card 2 (MSFC2), which allows it to provide enhanced routing capabilities within the same chassis, optimising network tasks without the need for multiple external components. The MSFC2 handles both hardware-switching and embedded routing, greatly reducing the load on the chassis and ensuring that the CPU operates efficiently. With its advanced data processing hardware, the module can integrate seamlessly into complex network environments, supporting advanced configurations such as QoS and security policies.
Designed to be a core building block for large-scale data networks, the WS-X6K-S2-MSFC2= also includes a Policy Feature Card (PFC), enabling it to conduct traffic prioritisation and oversee Quality of Service (QoS) controls, which are key for applications like VoIP, video, and virtualisation. Its ability to handle multiple protocols, maintain security, and provide seamless routing services makes it a critical component for those operating high-demand network systems in both corporate and data centre environments. Additionally, this engine offers functions like IP multicast and traffic compression, optimising bandwidth usage efficiently.
The Cisco WS-X6K-S2-MSFC2= control processor is suitable for those requiring high performance, flexibility, and secure management for their network infrastructure. Its engineering makes it a reliable solution for enterprises needing consistent data flow, monitoring, and network traffic management across varied applications.
