The Cisco Policy Feature Card 3B (PFC3B) is a crucial component designed to enhance the functionality of Cisco Catalyst 6500 series switches. Specifically, this control processor offers advanced traffic management capabilities, ensuring more refined and efficient handling of network policies. It is primarily responsible for supporting Cisco's switching mechanisms and helps in managing network operations through several useful features.
The PFC3B boosts performance by enabling hardware-based forwarding, which significantly enhances throughput and reduces network delays. It also supports Layer 2 and Layer 3 forwarding, allowing more efficient movement of data packets across different segments of the network. Additionally, this card is equipped with Quality of Service (QoS) features to ensure that mission-critical traffic is prioritised accordingly across the network.
When deployed, the Cisco Policy Feature Card 3B provides support for Access Control Lists (ACLs), designed to maintain security by controlling which users and devices can interact with specific network resources. Security measures are further bolstered through Denial of Service (DoS) protection capabilities, enabling proactive management in cases of potential attacks. Due to its integration within the modular structure of the Catalyst 6500 series, this card can be easily deployed or replaced as part of a larger network solution.
In terms of compatibilities, this card integrates seamlessly into existing Cisco architecture and benefits from Cisco IOS, extending functionality and performance. Thanks to its modular structure and strong architecture, the PFC3B provides greater control over network policies and ensures improved network efficiency with minimal disruption to service.
