The Cisco Policy Feature Card 4 (PFC4) is an essential component designed to enhance the capabilities of high-performance Cisco networking hardware. With part number VS-F6K-PFC4, this control processor is a key part of the Cisco Catalyst 6500 series supervisor engines. The PFC4 is responsible for processing vital network policies that are integral to the operation of complex, dynamic networks. This includes operations like VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) management, multicast packet forwarding, and handling access control lists (ACLs).
VS-F6K-PFC4 offers advanced features such as QoS (Quality of Service), which ensures that mission-critical applications receive appropriate bandwidth and low latency. In addition, it provides support for IPv6, enabling modern networking capabilities and future-proofing the network infrastructure. The PFC4 plays a core role in managing the data plane at wire-speed, thereby increasing the overall network efficiency and performance.
Besides ensuring fast packet classification and forwarding, the Cisco Policy Feature Card 4 also supports security protocols, including firewall filtering and traffic shaping, making it an indispensable component for organisations that rely on efficient and secure data communication. The PFC4 is designed to work in conjunction with other components of the Catalyst 6500 series to guarantee seamless operation and reliability.
Overall, the Cisco Policy Feature Card 4 ensures that network administrators can fine-tune and enforce comprehensive network-wide policies without compromising on performance. By integrating advanced policy enforcement on the hardware level, the PFC4 offers a robust and scalable solution to meet the demands of modern enterprise networks.
