Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Supervisor Engine Portfolio Positioning
The Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Supervisor Engine II-Plus-10GE complements the Cisco supervisor engine product portfolio. Customers are
provided clear choices based on their feature and scalability requirements. The enhanced Layer 2 Gigabit supervisor engines (Supervisor
Engine II-Plus, Supervisor Engine II-Plus-TS) have a clear migration path to an enhanced Layer 2 10-Gigabit supervisor engine (Supervisor
Engine II-Plus-10GE) or to a Layer 3 supervisor engine (Supervisor Engine IV). The Layer 3 Gigabit Supervisor Engine IV can migrate to the
Layer 3 10-Gigabit Supervisor Engine V-10GE. Similarly, there is a clear migration path from the enhanced Layer 2 Supervisor Engine II Plus-
10-GE to the Layer 3 Supervisor Engine V-10GE (Figure 3). This migration path is made smoother with the proven investment protection of
the Catalyst 4500 Series architecture. Customers can upgrade all the capabilities of all switch ports by merely upgrading the supervisor engine,
protecting their chassis, line card, and power supply investment.
