The Cisco Supervisor Engine 1A, part number WS-X6K-SUP1A-PFC, is a critical component designed for Cisco Catalyst 6000 series switches. This supervisor module manages all system tasks, enabling reliable control of the switch’s performance. It features dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, which provide high-speed connectivity and deliver robust performance for intensive network operations.
The module comes equipped with a policy feature card (PFC), which enhances hardware-based forwarding options, allowing for improved Layer 3 switching performance and traffic filtering. By offloading certain tasks to hardware, the PFC contributes to enhanced flow control and traffic management across the network.
Control processing tasks are handled by the engine’s integrated control processor, which coordinates functions like routing, switching, and management features for optimal network efficiency. This supervisor engine also supports advanced network services including VLANs, quality of service (QoS), and access control lists (ACLs), making it a versatile solution for enterprise-level networking requirements.
In terms of scalability, the WS-X6K-SUP1A-PFC allows for the modular expansion of Cisco Catalyst 6000 series switches, offering flexibility to meet growing network demands. Additionally, the module supports redundancy features such as supervisor engine failover, ensuring limited network downtime in the event of a failure. Its design allows network managers to maintain stability and consistent performance, even in mission-critical environments.
