The Cisco Policy Feature Card 3B, part number WS-F6K-PFC3B-RF, is a control processor designed to enhance the performance and capabilities of Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series switches. This module is responsible for performing specialised network tasks, notably by enabling advanced routing and switching features. It supports both Layer 2 and Layer 3 forwarding, offering versatile functionality for modern networking environments that require scalability and high throughput.
One of the primary functions of the WS-F6K-PFC3B-RF is the implementation of quality of service (QoS) policies. This ensures that network resources are allocated efficiently, prioritising traffic by type, source, and destination to optimise overall performance. Users can benefit from the card’s ability to handle highly detailed traffic management and control, helping ensure that mission-critical applications maintain priority.
Additionally, the Policy Feature Card provides support for network security features like access control lists (ACLs) and network address translation (NAT), enhancing the overall security posture of your network infrastructure. The WS-F6K-PFC3B-RF card is compatible with a variety of Cisco Catalyst 6500 models and is built to provide reliable operation in complex network environments.
This PFC3B card also plays an integral role in enabling multicast routing functions, which helps manage and distribute traffic to multiple receivers in an efficient manner. The inclusion of hardware acceleration for routing processes ensures that network latency is kept to a minimum, even under heavy traffic conditions. With its extensive features and robust performance capabilities, the WS-F6K-PFC3B-RF is a valuable component in large-scale, enterprise networks.
