The Cisco Catalyst 4503-E is a rack-mountable switch designed to be housed in a network rack for enterprise or data centre environments. Accompanied by the Cisco Supervisor Engine 6L-E and a Catalyst 4500 E-Series Line Card, it is highly capable for medium to large-scale networking deployments. The system supports Layer 2 and Layer 3 performance, making it suitable for both switching and routing within a LAN infrastructure. The Cisco Catalyst 4503-E effectively balances performance and scalability, with its modular architecture allowing future network expansions.
The dedicated Supervisor Engine 6L-E provides enhanced control and management, allowing network administrators to have a powerful central processing unit for network traffic and system operations. It supports non-blocking performance, meaning that all ports can function at full capacity without interference, ensuring smooth network transitions. With a focus on security and seamless network integration, the Supervisor Engine also supports Virtual LANs (VLANs) and voice traffic prioritisation, enhancing performance in applications where multiple traffic types coexist on the same network.
The Catalyst 4500 E-Series architecture of this switch means you'll benefit from the modular and scalable design, which provides investment protection as your needs grow. The unit comes with various uplink options through the line card slots, which can support both Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet, giving future-proofed options for expansion. The switch also includes robust QoS (Quality of Service) features to ensure critical applications continue with minimal latency or disruptions.
