Cisco Catalyst 4500 E-series Supervisor 8-e

Introduction

The Cisco Catalyst® 4500E Supervisor Engine 8-E (Figure 1) is the next generation of enterprise-class switching engine that provides full convergence between wired and wireless networks on a single platform. This new Cisco® Unified Access Data Plane (UADP) application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) powers the wireless convergence and helps enable uniform wired-wireless policy enforcement, application visibility, flexibility, and application optimization.

The new Cisco Catalyst 4500E Supervisor Engine 8-E is an enterprise-class, access and aggregation supervisor engine designed to provide up to 928 Gbps of wired access per system with an E-Series chassis. The supervisor also supports up to 20 Gbps of wireless termination in a controller-less unified access deployment. Cisco Catalyst 4500E Supervisor Engine 8-E provides 48 Gbps per slot with Flexible NetFlow (FNF), integrated Wireshark, and advanced security, combined with reduced total cost of ownership (TCO) and excellent investment protection. These capabilities, along with eight 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks and 10/100/1000 Power over Ethernet (PoE), PoE Plus (PoEP), and Cisco Universal PoE (UPoE) ports, make this supervisor engine the leading Cisco Unified Access supervisor engine in the Cisco Catalyst Family. Supervisor Engine 8-E is built with price-performance aggregation deployments in mind, helping to enable denser Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet fiber deployments with enterprise-class aggregation functions. Supervisor Engine 8-E facilitates user experiences for enterprise, public sector, mid-market, and commercial customer business-critical applications.

Cisco leadership in Borderless Networks is extended with important features - hardware readiness for Unified Access, Cisco TrustSec®, medianet, Flexible NetFlow, Cisco EnergyWiseT, Cisco Powered Workspace, and many other feature enhancements offered by the Cisco Catalyst 4500E Supervisor Engine 8-E. Backward and forward compatibility with most existing Cisco Catalyst 4500 and 4500E line cards, and power supplies helps assure deeper customer satisfaction with an industry-leading investment protection architecture. Cisco Catalyst Supervisor Engine 8-E is supported in Cisco Catalyst 4500 E-Series chassis only.
