The Cisco Supervisor Engine 32 (part number WS-SUP32-10GE-3B-RF) is a critical control processor that provides essential management and data forwarding capabilities for Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series switches. This unit integrates both Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, supporting advanced network operations within enterprise and service provider environments. It features the inclusion of the Cisco Policy Feature Card 3B (PFC3B), which enhances performance for crucial functions such as access control lists (ACLs), quality of service (QoS), and IP routing.
Equipped with 10 Gigabit Ethernet support, this supervisor engine is engineered to handle demanding network traffic loads and is designed to optimize network performance for both legacy and newly deployed infrastructure. The unit operates with a hot-swapping capability, which ensures minimal downtime during replacements or upgrades, a vital feature for high-availability environments.
The integration of the Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) with distributed forwarding helps reduce network congestion and improves overall throughput. Moreover, this supervisor engine includes advanced features such as security and traffic management protocols for better control over multi-tier network designs.
Its compact form factor allows for convenient deployment in high-density network configurations, while its management capabilities via Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and other methods offer network administrators more control and visibility over the entire system.
This reconditioned unit (RF designates refurbished) offers reduced cost while maintaining full functionality for legacy or non-mission-critical installations. The Supervisor Engine 32 is an ideal solution for enterprises that require high performance and flexibility in a cost-effective package.
