The Cisco Distributed Forwarding Card 3BXL (part number WS-F6K-DFC3BXL) is a high-performance switching accelerator designed for use in Cisco 6500 series and 7600 series switches. This card is crucial in enhancing switching capacity, allowing the device to achieve optimized data movement and reduce the overall load on the system's supervisor engine.
The WS-F6K-DFC3BXL allows for high-touch processing of packets and improves the system’s capability to manage demanding network environments. With additional memory compared to previous models, it offers greater support for advanced features like NetFlow, ACLs, QoS, and route scaling. The card is designed for large-scale and intensive data flow environments, making it suitable for enterprise-level infrastructure or service provider networks.
This card provides 144 million packets per second (Mpps) of distributed forwarding and features scalability to handle IPv4 and IPv6 traffic. Additionally, it is compatible with both Layer 2 and Layer 3 forwarding, providing flexibility in different network configurations, as well as supporting multicast traffic. Furthermore, the WS-F6K-DFC3BXL offers high levels of redundancy and fault tolerance, which helps ensure the stability of mission-critical networks.
Installation of the WS-F6K-DFC3BXL provides network administrators with more granular control over their data traffic and system resources. By offloading forwarding tasks from the supervisor engine, the Distributed Forwarding Card 3BXL delivers faster processing speeds and more effective use of bandwidth, resulting in increased overall system performance.
