Cisco Supervisor Engine 720 with PFC3B - Control processor - EN, Fast
EN, Gigabit EN - WS-SUP720-3B
The Cisco WS-SUP720-3B sup 720 is a family of Supervisor Engines designed
to deliver scalable performance and rich set of IP features in hardware. Its
hardware-based feature set can enable applications such as traditional IP forwarding
Layer 2 and Layer 3 Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) VPNs, Ethernet over
MPLS (EoMPLS) with quality of service (QoS) and security features. The Supervisor
engine 720 integrates a high-performance 720-Gbps crossbar switch fabric with
a forwarding engine in a single module, delivering 40 Gbps of switching capacity
per slot (enabling 4-port 10GE and 48-port 10/100/1000 density line cards).
With hardware-enabled forwarding for IPv4, IPv6 and MPLS, the system performance
is capable of 400 Mpps for IPv4, 200 Mpps for IPv6 traffic, with features and
1024 VRFs each populated with up to 700 routes/VRF for MPLS. The Cisco Sup Engine
720 ( WS-SUP720-3B )offers strong security features. System security is hardened
with support for features such as Port Security, CPU rate limiting, Multi-Path
uRPF and 802.1x with VLAN. Extensive feature support such as QoS mechanisms,
hardware-based generic-routing-encapsulation (GRE) tunneling, and access control
lists (ACLs) enable customers to build high-performance, feature-rich networks
capable of offering services such as MPLS VPNs, metropolitan (metro) aggregation,
and various WAN edge services. With enhanced security, rich QoS and scalable
performance for Gigabit and 10gigabit, the Sup720 is ideal for enterprise core
and distribution and data centers. The Sup Engine 720 ( WS-SUP720-3B )builds
on the proven Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) architecture, by supporting centralized
forwarding (cCEF) and distributed forwarding (dCEF). The Supervisor Engine 720
delivers scalable-performance, intelligence, and a broad set of features to
address the needs of the most demanding service provider and enterprise deployment
requirements.
