C6800-SUP6T-XL

Cisco C6800-SUP6T-XL (440G/slot) with 8x10GE, 2x40GE (XL) Supervisor Engine

Cisco Catalyst C6800-SUP6T-XL is a high-performance supervisor engine module designed for deployment in enterprise-level data center and campus switching networks. It provides centralized control and management over multiple line cards in a modular switch chassis. This supervisor engine features a 6-terabit-per-second (Tbps) forwarding capacity and is designed to be scalable and highly resilient.

The Cisco C6800-SUP6T-XL is a powerful enterprise-level supervisor engine that delivers enhanced features, performance, and security capabilities compared to previous generation supervisor engines. It features a quad-core Intel processor with a robust memory architecture, providing the necessary processing power for high-speed forwarding and advanced software features.

With support for advanced Cisco IOS features such as Virtual Switching System (VSS) technology, the C6800-SUP6T-XL enables two supervisor modules to operate as a single virtual switch to offer highly available and fault-tolerant network environments. It also offers support for Cisco TrustSec, providing secure network access by delivering identity-based access control, deployment flexibility, and secure network segmentation
