The Cisco Policy Feature Card 3BXL (Part Number: WS-F6K-PFC3BXL-RF) is a critical component designed to enhance the performance and manageability of Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series switches. This unit is a control processor, which plays a fundamental role in the network's policy enforcement and traffic control functions. The PFC3BXL provides significant improvements in forwarding capabilities by supporting features such as hardware-based forwarding and Quality of Service (QoS) for high-demand enterprise environments. One of the key features of the PFC3BXL is its ability to support Layer 2 and Layer 3 forwarding in hardware, thus offering accelerated packet processing for increased network efficiency.
This model also supports advanced QoS features, enabling improved prioritisation of network traffic, which is essential for environments that need to manage bandwidth-intensive applications effectively. The PFC3BXL features an enhanced memory capacity, which allows for larger forwarding tables compared to the standard PFCs. Additionally, it provides NetFlow services directly in hardware for more detailed network monitoring and analysis without impacting the switch's performance. Moreover, the card supports Cisco's Multicast Routing and Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), expanding its ability to handle complex network configurations and requirements.
In terms of security, the PFC3BXL card supports ACL (Access Control List) filtering and Layer 3-based security policies, offering enhanced protection for sensitive network traffic. The unit can also help ensure high availability through dedicated control features and hitless failover mechanisms, facilitating minimal downtime in critical environments. Its ability to handle large volumes of traffic securely and efficiently makes it an ideal solution for large-scale enterprises that require robust traffic control and policy enforcement.
