The 4-slot Cisco Catalyst 6504-E Switch chassis is a 5 rack-unit height designed for multi-Gbps data centers, remote access, e-commerce, and converged network solutions.  The Cisco  Catalyst WS-C6504-E Chassis is a 320-Gbps, small form factor, high-performance chassis. With the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Supervisor Engine 720, it can deliver up to 80 Gbps of switching capacity per slot. The 6504-E Catalyst switch offers the broadest range of interface modules with industry-leading performance and advanced feature integration.

Cisco WS-C6504E-S32-10GE Features
Supports all Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series modules, including:

• Supervisor engines
• Fast Ethernet modules (with IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet [PoE])
• Gigabit Ethernet modules (with IEEE 802.3af PoE)
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet modules
• Flex WAN modules
• Shared Port Adaptors/SPA Interface Processors
• Multi-Gigabit services modules (content services ,firewall, intrusion detection, IP Security (IPSec), VPN, network analysis, and Secure Sockets Layer [SSL] acceleration)

The Cisco WS-C6504E-S32-10GE supervisor Engine 32 includes the following features:

• Two Supervisor Engine 32 models providing either of the following
• 2 10-Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports and 1 10/100/1000 TX port
• Integrated policy feature card (PFC3B)
• Integrated multilayer switch feature card (MSFC2a)
• Classic 32-Gbps bus connection
• Two Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports on front panel
• Compact Flash slot
• Console port
• 256-MB bootflash
• 256-MB DRAM upgradable to 1 GB

Compared to older versions of the sup32 engine are eight SFP-based Gigabit Ethernet ports on the front of one of the Supervisor Engine 32 modules. The front ports can help reduce the need to use a chassis slot for a Gigabit Ethernet module where only a few Gigabit Ethernet ports are required.  Two USB ports are also on the front panel, one designated for host use (Type "A" USB port) and the other as a device port (Type "B" USB port). Host USB ports can be used to plug in devices such as a PC, while device ports can be used for attaching devices such as a Flash memory key. These ports will be enabled in a post First Customer Ship release of code.

The integrated PFC3B is included on the Supervisor Engine 32 to enhance its quality-of-service (QoS) and security capabilities. With the PFC3B, the Supervisor Engine 32 can support hardware-based QoS and security access control lists (ACLs) using Layer 2, 3, and 4 classification criteria to secure and prioritize target data. Standard PFC3B enhancements can also be utilized, allowing the Supervisor Engine 32 to take advantage of new hardware accelerated features such as CPU rate limiters, ACL hit counters, port access control lists (PACLs), and improvements in route and NetFlow capacities, to name a few.  The MSFC2a is also integrated into the Cisco WS-C6504E-S32-10GE Supervisor Engine 32 to enable it to be a full-fledged Layer 3 switch. At FCS, the Supervisor Engine 32 will act purely as a Layer 2 device. A Cisco IOS Software option to enable Layer 3 services on the supervisor will become available at a future date. The forwarding architecture used by the MSFC2a and PFC3 is Cisco Express Forwarding, which is the Cisco Systems architecture for providing Layer 3 switching in hardware. In the future, the option of adding a programmable intelligent services adapter (PISA) daughter card, which integrates the functionality of the MSFC2a into the card, will be provided along with hardware accelerate support for advanced Layer 4 to 7 services such as hardware-accelerated network-based application recognition (NBAR).
