The Cisco Distributed Forwarding Card 4, identified by the part number WS-F6K-DFC4-E=, is a high-performance switching accelerator designed to enhance the forwarding capabilities of Cisco Catalyst 6500 series switches. This module improves packet processing and minimises bottlenecks, allowing for higher throughput and more efficient network management. It is engineered to support forwarding in both Layer 2 and Layer 3 environments. The card enables enhanced distributed forwarding by offloading tasks from the switch's central processor, which results in faster data transfer rates.
One of the notable features of the WS-F6K-DFC4-E= is its ability to handle large volumes of traffic with reduced latency, making it ideal for data centres, enterprise environments, and service provider networks. The distributed nature of the card enables network scalability, allowing it to handle more complex routing and switching tasks without compromising on performance. The switching accelerator is particularly useful in high-density switch configurations, helping manage the increased workload and ensuring optimal network performance.
This Cisco card is compatible with various other modules within the Catalyst 6500 family, ensuring flexibility and adaptability in mixed-network environments. The WS-F6K-DFC4-E= also supports advanced features like Multilayer Switching (MLS), enhancing the efficiency of traffic management across different network layers. Overall, it is capable of delivering consistent, high-quality forwarding services in demanding network conditions.
