The Cisco WS-X6816-DFC3A= is a high-performance plug-in module designed specifically for Cisco Catalyst 6500 series switches. This module provides a 16-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, making it suitable for environments that require increased bandwidth and high-speed data transfer. As part of the Cisco managed switching range, it supports advanced features such as Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, which enhances its versatility and performance in network topologies.
One of the key components of this module is the integrated DFC3A (Distributed Forwarding Card). This dedicated forwarding engine boosts forwarding performance by offloading tasks from the central switch fabric, which optimises overall network performance. By distributing forwarding decisions across multiple line cards, it allows for more efficient and faster traffic routing. In addition, the DFC3A helps ensure that high-density networks maintain smooth operations.
This plug-in module is designed to be hot-swappable, meaning it can be installed or replaced without shutting down other system components. This feature makes it an ideal choice for mission-critical environments where uptime is essential. The module also supports a wide range of QoS (Quality of Service) features, providing refined control over traffic prioritisation and bandwidth allocations, ensuring optimal network performance in both small and large-scale deployments.
