The Cisco Distributed Forwarding Card 3BXL, part number WS-F6700-DFC3BXL, is a high-performance module designed to enhance the packet forwarding capabilities in Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series switches. It operates as a switching accelerator and is crucial in optimising the switching performance for complex network environments. This card adds significant functionality by offloading packet-switching duties from the main processor, allowing for more efficient and higher capacity handling of network traffic.
One of the key features of the WS-F6700-DFC3BXL is its ability to support up to 256,000 routes, enabling large-scale network applications in enterprise environments. It supports both Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching and provides forwarding for unicast and multicast traffic. The card is fully compatible with the extensive range of Cisco Catalyst 6500 line cards, making it flexible and capable of accommodating different network configurations.
With the incorporation of hardware-based forwarding via this Distributed Forwarding Card, users can experience significantly reduced latency. Additionally, the WS-F6700-DFC3BXL enhances overall forwarding capacity—essential for meeting the demands of high-bandwidth applications and dynamic routing protocols. It also supports Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) and IPv6, making it ideal for both current operational needs and future growth.
The hardware comes with Distributed Forwarding Engine (DFE) functionality, which helps distribute load to balance traffic across multiple network paths. This feature plays a significant role in reducing congestion and improving throughput in both core and edge networks.
