The Cisco Supervisor Engine 32 (part number: WS-SUP32-GE-3B=) is a high-performance control processor designed for Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series switches. It provides robust supervisory capabilities and is equipped with the Cisco Policy Feature Card 3B (PFC3B), delivering advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 networking performance. This part ensures efficient network management and control, ideally suited for enterprise and campus networks looking to optimise their network operations with enhanced switching and routing functionalities.
The Supervisor Engine 32 supports Gigabit Ethernet connectivity and can handle complex network tasks with its integrated CPU and memory resources. It meets the expectations for scalability and performance in large digital infrastructures, offering support for key features such as QoS (Quality of Service), traffic classification, and forwarding acceleration. These features make it possible to configure intelligent, policy-driven control over incoming and outgoing traffic, ensuring both high availability and efficient use of network resources.
With the inclusion of the PFC3B module, the module is designed to reinforce security and packet forwarding standards, enhancing control over traffic filters, access lists, and network behaviour. The module supports security policies such as ACLs (Access Control Lists) and IPv6 capabilities. The CPU offloads these demanding tasks to the PFC3B, ensuring minimal latency and smooth operation for essential network services, even as demands on traffic management grow.
In terms of physical form, the WS-SUP32-GE-3B= fits seamlessly into the existing Catalyst 6500 architecture, allowing for easy upgrades and integration into existing network systems.
