The Cisco Ethernet Services Plus 20G Line Card (part number 7600-ES+20G3C=) is a high-performance, managed, plug-in module designed for Cisco 7600 series routers. This unit provides 20 ports of gigabit Ethernet connectivity, making it suitable for high-density networking environments that require the seamless transfer of large volumes of data across multiple channels.
One of the standout features of this line card is its inclusion of the Cisco Distributed Forwarding Card DFC-3C, which enhances the module’s forwarding capabilities. The DFC-3C offloads processing tasks from the central routing engine, providing significant improvements to both throughput and performance. This architecture allows for distributed forwarding, meaning the card can handle data packet forwarding independently, reducing latency and improving overall network efficiency and resiliency.
The line card provides managed capabilities, meaning that network administrators can configure and control the functions of the module through management interfaces, ensuring that the network performs optimally with tailored configurations. The unit is designed to support a wide range of Cisco features, such as quality of service (QoS), security options, and VLAN management, offering flexibility and security for complex networking environments.
With a form factor that allows for plug-in installation, this module is easy to deploy within existing Cisco 7600 series chassis, providing a streamlined upgrade path for increasing network bandwidth without requiring a complete system overhaul. The design also benefits from Cisco’s proven reliability and enterprise-grade networking technologies.
