The Cisco Virtual Switching Supervisor Engine 720, part number VS-S720-10G-3C=, is a high-performance control processor designed for use in Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series switches and facilitates efficient network management and connectivity. This model is equipped with two 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports, ensuring that it offers extensive bandwidth capabilities, which are ideal for environments requiring large-scale data handling and high throughput.
It comes with an integrated Multilayer Switch Feature Card 3 (MSFC3) and the Policy Feature Card 3C (PFC3C). This combination enhances Layer 2 and Layer 3 routing capabilities, as well as security, through features like Access Control Lists (ACLs) and Quality of Service (QoS). The MSFC3 provides hardware-based routing, significantly improving network performance and reducing CPU overhead, while the PFC3C ensures superior handling of traffic policies and forwarding decisions.
The Supervisor Engine 720 is built to support virtual switching, allowing multiple switches to be operated as a single logical unit, thereby streamlining network management and enhancing scalability. The presence of two 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports allows this supervisor engine to support both high-bandwidth network connections and the convergence of data from multiple nodes.
This supervisor engine is designed to work with a variety of Cisco modules and supports numerous software services commonly used in data centres, enterprise campuses, and service provider environments. It helps reduce operational expenses by consolidating infrastructure, simplifying network design, and increasing resiliency
