The Cisco Supervisor Engine 6-E, part number WS-X45-SUP6-E/2, is a high-performance control processor designed for use in Cisco Catalyst 4500E chassis configurations. It acts as the central control point of the system, enabling full and redundant switching capabilities. The Supervisor Engine 6-E supports Layer 2-4 switching, providing robust security features, sophisticated routing options, and advanced network management tools. This ensures seamless performance and operational efficiency under demanding conditions.
Outfitted with dual Gigabit Ethernet uplinks for high-availability connectivity, the WS-X45-SUP6-E/2 also includes Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, supporting mixed deployment scenarios for modern enterprise networks. The redundant capabilities provided by this unit mean that it works synchronously with another Supervisor Engine, ensuring network resilience in case of failure.
Another highlight of the WS-X45-SUP6-E/2 is its ability to support sophisticated network topologies with capabilities such as MPLS, QoS, and IPv4/IPv6 unicast routing. Additionally, it comes with extensive security features such as ACLs (Access Control Lists) and Network Access Control to safeguard network integrity.
This Cisco Supervisor Engine is a future-proof solution, supporting a wide range of software functionalities including Cisco IOS Software, which helps administer and optimise network operations with ease.
