The Catalyst 6800 series switch with part number C6800-8P40G-XL= is a high-performance solution designed for enterprise networking environments. This model features 8 ports supporting 40 Gigabit Ethernet, offering robust network throughput and scalability. It comes equipped with an integrated Supervisor Engine, known as the DFC4XL (Distributed Forwarding Card 4 XL), which improves the overall system's capability by accelerating packet forwarding and reducing latency across the network.
One of the primary features of the Catalyst 6800 series is its focus on delivering high-density, high-performance Ethernet switching, particularly suited for data centres and core layer scenarios in large networks. The integration of the DFC4XL further enhances this by distributing the processing load, ensuring optimised and efficient traffic management. Additionally, the module is designed to fit seamlessly within the Catalyst 6800 chassis, maintaining compatibility with the broader Catalyst family.
This 8-port module, in conjunction with the Catalyst chassis, provides critical features required for data-intensive tasks. The support for 40 Gigabit Ethernet per port ensures not only high-speed connectivity but also future-proofs your network for potentially higher workloads. It's ideal for bandwidth-intensive applications such as video streaming, data replication, and inter-data centre communications. The inclusion of enhanced forwarding capacity via the DFC4XL ensures optimal performance even under heavy traffic conditions.
