Integrated Security
A comprehensive portfolio of proven and integrated
multi-gigabit security services modules are
available with the Catalyst 6500 Series. Integrated
network security simplifies operations and
reduces total cost of ownership. Cisco Catalyst
6500 security service modules include intrusion
detection, firewall, scalable IPsec VPN solutions and
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).
Services Integration and Flexibility
Catalyst 6500 Series application intelligence
with PISA technology helps ensure application
performance and security in converged data,
voice, video, and wireless Campus and WAN
environments. Catalyst 6500 supports a wide
range of integrated and advanced services such
as security, wireless LAN, and Layer 4-7 content
services; provides the widest range of interfaces
and densities from 10/100/1000 Ethernet to 10
Gigabit, and DS-0 to OC-192; and performs in
deployments from the data center, to the Campus
and WAN edge.
Features Section
Operational Consistency

7304 Router, 7600, 10000, 12000 Series and
CRS-1 to reduce sparing and training costs
• Shares WAN port adapters with Cisco 7500
Series routers for smooth migration and
investment protection
• Cisco IOS Software and Cisco Catalyst Operating
System Software supported on all supervisor
engines, providing smooth migration from Cisco
7500 Series deployments; comprehensive CatOS
to IOS migration tool

Scalable Performance
Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series provides up to 400
Mpps performance with a distributed forwarding
architecture that supports a mix of Cisco Express
Forwarding implementations and switch-fabric
speeds for optimal data center, campus, and WAN
edge deployments, as well as service provider
networks. Catalyst 6500 Series provides consistent
and scalable routing services to maximize
application performance to branch offices over the
WAN with advanced IOS routing solutions.
Operational Consistency
Featuring 3-, 4-, 6-, 9-, and 13-slot chassis
configurations, Catalyst 6500 Series shares a
common set of modules, Cisco IOS Software, Cisco
Catalyst Operating System Software, and network
management tools. Catalyst 6500 Series can be
deployed across the network from the core network
to the WAN and Internet edge, simplifying network
operations and reducing spares expense.
Validated Solutions
All Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series applications are
tested in Safe Harbor, with the recent addition of
enterprise WAN applications for an end-to-end
tested solution.
