Product Overview and Portfolio Positioning
Cisco Catalyst 4500 Supervisor Engine II-Plus-10GE
The Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Supervisor Engine II-Plus-10GE provides investment protection and an enhanced Layer 2 upgrade path to 10
Gigabit Ethernet. It includes dual wire-speed 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports (X2 optics) as well as 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports (SFP optics) on the
faceplate. Both the 10-Gigabit X2 interfaces and the Gigabit SFP interfaces can be enabled simultaneously for maximum flexibility and
scalability, providing an easy migration path from Gigabit Ethernet to 10-Gigabit Ethernet. The Supervisor Engine II-Plus-10GE SDRAM is
also optionally expandable from 256 MB to 512 MB for further scalability. The Supervisor Engine II-Plus-10GE is an enhanced Layer 2
supervisor engine. For customers requiring full Layer 3 Enhanced Routing Protocol support with routing tables four times larger and double the
QoS/Security table size, the Catalyst 4500 Series Supervisor Engine V-10GE is the appropriate choice.
Key features of the Supervisor Engine II-Plus-10GE include:
Wire-speed performance for 1-Gigabit and 10-Gigabit connectivity
– 108-Gbps switching fabric with 81-mpps forwarding rate for enhanced Layer 2
Supervisor engine redundancy for nonstop operation
– Stateful Switchover (SSO) support for subsecond failover
Robust security
– Protection against man-in-the-middle and IP spoofing attacks
– Port, router, and VLAN access control lists (ACLs)
– Network Admission Control Phase 2 support
– Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol Version 1 and 2
– Simple Network Management Protocol Version 3 (SNMPv3) for secure remote access and network management
