The Cisco Supervisor Engine V, part number WS-X4516=, is a high-performance control processor designed for use in Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series switches. This unit serves as the central nervous system of the network, regulating traffic and ensuring efficient switching operations under demanding conditions. The module provides advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 services, which contribute to optimised network performance. It supports high availability through 1+1 redundancy, a feature that helps to maintain uninterrupted network operations by automatically switching over to a standby supervisor if the primary one fails.
With integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities, the WS-X4516= allows the switch to deliver power along with data over Ethernet cables, making it ideal for deployments involving IP phones, wireless access points, and surveillance cameras. This reduces the need for additional power supply infrastructure for connected devices. Furthermore, the system supports up to 240 Gbps aggregated bandwidth, making it suitable for high-traffic enterprise environments where optimal bandwidth and processing power are crucial.
A robust network management system is ensured with the integration of Cisco IOS software, supporting key features such as QoS (Quality of Service), security policies, and traffic management protocols. Additionally, the WS-X4516= supports Remote Monitoring (RMON) for enhanced troubleshooting and network visibility. The availability of multiple management interfaces, including Console, Telnet, and SNMP, further enhances its operational flexibility and management ease.
