The Cisco Supervisor Engine 720, part number WS-SUP720=, is a high-performance control processor designed for managing and enhancing the throughput of Catalyst 6500 and 7600 series switches. It is an advanced switching engine that combines network services, scalable performance, and the necessary control to ensure effective traffic management in enterprise and service provider environments.
The Supervisor Engine 720 includes a policy feature card 3 (PFC3) and a multilayer switch feature card 3 (MSFC3). These integrated components provide robust forwarding and routing capabilities, ensuring high reliability and efficiency. Additionally, the device supports both Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, offering enhanced network flexibility and enabling streamlined traffic processing for heavy data loads.
This model is equipped with a 720-Gbps switch fabric, ensuring fast data throughput, and supports up to 400 million packets per second (Mpps) forwarding rate for Layer 2 and Layer 3 packets. Performance scalability is further enhanced through the use of Dual Redundant Supervisor Engines, providing fault tolerance and improving network uptime.
The Cisco Supervisor Engine 720 supports various network application services, including advanced QoS (Quality of Service) features, security enhancements, and NetFlow; these aid in effective traffic prioritisation, security measures, and network monitoring. It also works well with Cisco's IOS Software, enabling full integration into existing network infrastructures. The engine offers multiple Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, providing a scalable approach to meeting modern data centre and switching block demands.
