Pre-Owned, Used And Refurbished Cisco WS-C6500-SFM

The WS-C6500-SFM is a switch fabric module for the Catalyst 6500 Series switches by Cisco. The WS-C6500-SFM, in combination with the Supervisor Engine 2, delivers an increase in available system bandwidth from the existing 32 Gbps to 256 Gbps. SFM is not supported on Supervisor Engine I-based systems. The Switch Fabric Module enables an architecture that allows 30 million packets per second (Mpps) of Cisco Express Forwarding-based central forwarding performance on Supervisor Engine 2 and up to 210 Mpps of distributed forwarding performance. The Distributed Feature Daughter Card (WS-F6K-DFC) is required to be installed on the line cards to deliver up to 210 Mpps of distributed forwarding.

    Miscellaneous
    Additional Information:
  • The Switch Fabric Module enables 30 Mpps Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF)-based central forwarding on Supervisor Engine 2
  • The Switch Fabric Module enables up to 210 Mpps distributed forwarding on DCF-enabled switch fabric modules
  • The Switch Fabric Module supports advanced services such as quality of service (QoS) and security in hardware via access control lists (ACLs)
  • System Requirements:
  • The Switch Fabric Modules (WS-C6500-SFM and WS-X6500-SFM2) are not supported on the Catalyst 6503 switch
  • You cannot install the WS-C6500-SFM in a Catalyst 6513 switch
  • Switch Fabric Modules are not supported by Supervisor Engine 720
  • The Switch Fabric Module requires Supervisor Engine 2
  • You must install a Switch Fabric Module in either slot 5 or slot 6 of the Catalyst 6506 switch. For redundancy, you can install a standby Switch Fabric Module. The module first installed functions as the primary module. When you install two Switch Fabric Modules at the same time, the module in slot 5 acts as the primary module, and the module in slot 6 acts as the backup. If you reset the module in slot 5, the module in slot 6 becomes the primary module.
