The Cisco Supervisor Engine II (part number: WS-X6K-S2-PFC2/2) is a critical control processor designed specifically for use in Cisco Catalyst 6000 and 6500 Series switches. It serves as the engine responsible for managing the overall switch operation, combining high performance and dependable control features. The unit incorporates a multi-function design, handling both Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching in enterprise environments.
One of its key components, the Policy Feature Card 2 (PFC2), enhances the security and policy enforcement capabilities of the switch. This card offers support for hardware-based multilayer switching functionality, delivering advanced traffic management. Additionally, the PFC2 provides support for features like Quality of Service (QoS) and Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF), ensuring efficient packet forwarding and prioritization.
This Supervisor Engine II is part of the modular Cisco networking infrastructure, offering flexibility for scalability and upgrades. It runs the Cisco IOS operating system, which is widely used in enterprise networking for its reliable performance and abundant feature set. With up to 256 Gbps system bandwidth, the WS-X6K-S2-PFC2/2 can support a high volume of traffic, making it suitable for demanding networking environments that require robust control and handling of both simple and complex tasks.
Another crucial capability of this device is its redundancy support, allowing for an additional supervisor engine to be installed in a chassis for high availability. This ensures that in the event of a failure, the switch can continue to function, providing continual network uptime. A switch using this supervisor engine can host multiple Gigabit Ethernet and Fast Ethernet connectivity options, offering a scalable range of network interfaces for different enterprise needs.
