The Cisco Catalyst 6800 Series 16 Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet Module with integrated Distributed Forwarding Card (DFC) 4XL, also identified by the part number C6800-16P10G-XL=, is designed for modern data centre deployments and enterprise-level networking. It offers 16 line-rate 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports, allowing high-speed connectivity that can handle substantial traffic and bandwidth demands within large networks.
This module features an integrated DFC4XL, which allows efficient, distributed forwarding for the entire chassis. The DFC4XL enhances the processing capabilities by offloading tasks from the core supervisor engine. This means that the end-user will benefit from higher packet throughput, improving overall network performance, which is particularly valuable in high-density traffic environments.
With its 16 ports that support SFP+ transceivers, the module is highly adaptable for various network setups. The use of SFP+ interfaces ensures the ability to connect a range of devices at 10Gbps speeds, offering flexible configuration options to suit different network designs. Additionally, this card is capable of line-rate forwarding across all ports, and with its ability to support distributed forwarding, it ensures low latency and high data throughput.
The Catalyst 6800 Series is designed to work within the Cisco VSS (Virtual Switching System), thereby enhancing device resiliency and overall network availability. The C6800-16P10G-XL=, being compatible with other 6800 series devices, ensures that its deployment is suitable for large-scale enterprise networks where reliability and performance are paramount.
