Core Layer April 2014

• The Supervisor Engine 2T supports DFC4-A based line cards, including the WS-X6824 and WS-X6848,

to provide gigabit Ethernet ports. The WS-X6724 and WS-X6748 gigabit Ethernet cards are also

supported when installed with CFC or DFC4-A modules.

• The Cisco Supervisor Engine 2T-based switch enhances support for Cisco TrustSec (CTS) by providing

MacSec encryption and role-based access control lists (RBACL), and delivers improved control plane

policing to address denial-of-service attacks.

• VSS effectively allows the merging of two physical chassis into a logical entity that can be operated as a

single device. This configuration provides redundant chassis, supervisors, line cards, and power supplies

and can provide the highest density of the product options for Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, and

40-Gigabit EtherChannel uplinks using Cisco Multi-chassis EtherChannel (MEC).

• Provides Stateful Switch-Over (SSO) to synchronize infrastructure and forwarding state between

chassis, along with Non-Stop Forwarding (NSF) for graceful-restart of L3 routing protocols, in the event

of a chassis failure. Also allows Enhanced Fast Software Upgrades (EFSU) with In-Service Software

Upgrades (ISSU) for minimizing downtime for system upgrades.

• The Cisco Catalyst 6807-XL chassis with the Supervisor Engine 2T is the premier core layer platform.

It allows for high density aggregation of wiring closets connected with Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit

Ethernet, while providing an advanced feature set and the highest resiliency available.

Cisco Catalyst 6500-E VSS with Supervisor Engine 2T

Cisco Catalyst 6500 VSS uses two physical chassis with Cisco Catalyst 6500 Supervisor Engine 2T, which offers

a per slot switching capacity of 80 Gbps. The Cisco Catalyst 6500-E is an available alternative for the core layer

VSS chassis with performance that can provide 40-Gigabit Ethernet connectivity.

Deployment Details

The core layer design uses a Cisco Catalyst 6500 VSS or Cisco Catalyst 6807-XL VSS with quad-supervisor

SSO for resiliency.

Configuring the Core

1. Configure the platform

2. Configure LAN switch universal settings

3. Configure the core switch global settings and IP unicast routing

4. Configure IP Multicast routing

5. Connect to the distribution layer

PROCESS

Procedure 1 Configure the platform

Cisco Catalyst 6500-E and Cisco Catalyst 6807-XL Virtual Switching System merges two physical 6500-E or

6807-XL switches together as a single logical switch, using a single or optionally dual Cisco Supervisor Engine

2T modules in each physical switch One of the supervisors acts as the active control plane for both chassis by

controlling protocols such as EIGRP and OSPF, Spanning Tree, CDP, and so forth, while both supervisors actively

switch packets in each chassis.
