Cisco Catalyst
6500 Series
The Cisco Catalyst
®
6500 sets the new standard for IP Communications, MPLS
networks and application delivery in enterprise campus and service provider
networks. The Catalyst 6500 Series delivers scalable, secure, converged, L2 and L3
services, from the data center and campus to the WAN aggregation and the Internet edge.
Delivering scalable performance and port density with investment protection across
several chassis configurations and LAN, WAN, and MAN interfaces, the Catalyst
6500 Series switches feature an unparalleled range of integrated services modules,
including multi-gigabit network security, content switching, telephony, and network
analysis modules.
The Catalyst 6500 Series delivers a consistent network operating environment
through an architecture that uses a common set of modules and Cisco IOS software
across all models. This helps to optimize IT infrastructure usage and enhance return
on investment. With connectivity for services ranging from DS0 to OC-192, and
nx10-MbpsEthernet to high-density 10-Gigabit Ethernet, the Catalyst 6500 Series
with IOS software modularity maximizes network uptime with stateful failover
capability between redundant routing and forwarding engines.
The Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series demonstrates an ongoing commitment to innovation
with numerous industry-leading features. Support for Flexible Packet Matching and
Application Intelligence in hardware is the latest example of Catalyst 6500 Series
innovation, benefiting WAN service aggregation and Internet edge deployments by
securing the enterprise network against attack, as well as monitoring and prioritizing
mission-critical applications versus discretionary traffic for maximum business efficiency.
Cisco IOS Software Modularity, together with platform, power supply, supervisor engine, switch fabric,
and integrated services redundancy provides one-to-three second stateful failover, and delivers
application and services continuity in a converged network, The Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series with
Cisco IOS Software Modularity boosts operational efficiency and minimizes downtime by enabling
modular Cisco IOS subsystems to run in independent processes This minimizes unplanned downtime
through self-healing processes, simplifies software changes through subsystem In-Service Software
Upgrades (ISSU), and enables process-level, automated policy control by integrating Cisco Embedded
Event Manager (EEM)
