The Cisco Route Switch Module with VIP2 Model 15, part number WS-X5304-15, is a highly versatile, integrated routing and switching module designed for use in Cisco Catalyst 5000 Series Switches. This hardware module allows for robust layer three routing capabilities within the switch infrastructure, providing enhanced performance and network scalability. By leveraging the Versatile Interface Processor (VIP2) Model 15, it enhances the switch’s ability to process both routing and switching operations, enabling seamless operations and complex network configurations within a single framework.
Featuring the patented Cisco architecture, the Cisco Route Switch Module with VIP2 Model 15 significantly improves the throughput and efficiency of networking environments by offloading routing tasks directly onto the switch fabric. Its modular design allows for easy installation and upgradeability, ensuring compatibility with a variety of WAN and LAN interfaces. The integrated architecture streamlines device management while reducing the need for separate, external routing solutions, which in turn lowers administrative and operational costs.
This module offers high-speed packet forwarding and dynamic routing protocol support, which can handle complex network routing requirements for enterprises and data centres. In terms of physical interfaces, it supports various connectivity options, providing flexibility in network planning and deployment. The Cisco WS-X5304-15 is also compatible with several Cisco technologies and standards, ensuring seamless cooperation in larger Cisco-based networks, including support for the Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) technology.
Overall, the Cisco WS-X5304-15 is an essential component for enhancing network functionality and efficiency, ideal for organisations seeking a unified switching and routing solution within a Cisco Catalyst environment.
