The Cisco Switch Fabric Module 2, identified by part number WS-X6500-SFM2-RF, is designed to enhance the performance and functionality of Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series switches. This plug-in module acts as the core fabric component, enabling high-speed switching and facilitating a more robust data path within the chassis. Its primary function is to provide up to 30 Gbps per slot of bandwidth, ensuring smoother traffic handling and significantly reduced congestion in large-scale networking environments.
One of the key features of this module is its fabric-based architecture, which supports enhanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching. It can optimally balance loads across multiple switching engines, contributing to improved network performance. Moreover, the WS-X6500-SFM2-RF enhances system uptime with its redundancy capabilities. When installed in a chassis configured with redundancy in mind, the module improves overall system reliability and availability, which is critical for enterprise-level networks.
This switch fabric module is specifically designed for use with Cisco Supervisor Engine 720 products, providing backward compatibility with existing infrastructure. The WS-X6500-SFM2-RF is a refurbished unit, indicated by the “RF” in its part number. Refurbished components from Cisco undergo a rigorous testing process to ensure that they meet the company’s operational standards, delivering the same performance as new components with a high standard of reliability and dependability.
