The Cisco Distributed Forwarding Card 3BXL (part number: WS-F6K-DFC3BXL=) is a high-performance switching accelerator designed for use with Cisco's Catalyst 6500 series switches. This card serves to enhance the overall forwarding capability of the switch infrastructure. Featuring a powerful architecture, the 3BXL model supports up to 256,000 routes and delivers advanced processing for Layer 2 and Layer 3 data traffic.
One of the standout features of this card is its capability for hardware-based forwarding, which significantly improves the performance of high-demand network environments. The 3BXL version, in particular, supports IPv4 and IPv6 traffic, showcasing its ability to cater to modern network routing protocols. In addition, it enables the system to handle advanced features such as QoS (Quality of Service) and advanced security features, critical for optimising traffic management and safeguarding the network.
The WS-F6K-DFC3BXL= card comes with support for centralised forwarding when used in combination with a Supervisor Engine, providing key enhancements in the processing of large-volume data exchanges. This ensures that critical tasks such as traffic analysis and Layer 2 switching remain fast and efficient, complementing the network's capability to handle complex workloads effectively. The card also supports NetFlow Data Export, a fundamental tool for traffic monitoring and network performance diagnosis.
Notably, the Cisco Distributed Forwarding Card 3BXL operates with high availability in mind, fitting well within the needs of enterprise or service provider environments. By reducing latency and managing large routing tables with efficiency, the card helps improve the overall functionality of Cisco Catalyst switches, making it an essential component for enterprises requiring advanced network performance.
