The Cisco Virtual Switching Supervisor Engine 720 with MSFC3 and PFC3C (VS-S720-10G-3C) is a highly specialised control processor designed to enhance the performance and efficiency of the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switches. This supervisor engine comes equipped with two integrated 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports, providing seamless connectivity and ensuring high-speed data transfers across the network infrastructure.
One of its defining features is the inclusion of the MSFC3 (Multilayer Switch Feature Card 3), enabling the device to handle advanced Layer 3 routing capabilities. Additionally, it features the PFC3C (Policy Feature Card 3C), which offers hardware-based Layer 2 to Layer 4 packet forwarding and traffic control, significantly boosting overall network efficiency. The combination of MSFC3 and PFC3C allows the unit to deliver extensive support for routing protocols, ACLs (Access Control Lists), and QoS (Quality of Service), making it suitable for complex network setups.
The supervisor engine's primary role is to control and manage the switch's operations, making it a critical component in any enterprise-level deployment. It also supports Virtual Switching System (VSS) technology, enabling users to combine multiple Catalyst 6500 Switches into a single, logical unit. This significantly increases operational flexibility and overall bandwidth. Enhanced security features are in place to support role-based access control and threat detection, ensuring that sensitive data is protected at all times.
The Cisco VS-S720-10G-3C is designed to be scalable, supporting high-density switching and enhanced resiliency to ensure stable, long-term network operations. It is ideal for organisations requiring robust network solutions to manage substantial amounts of data, all within a single platform.
