Combined with any Cisco Catalyst 4500 E-Series chassis, the WS-X45-SUP7-E can provide up to 848 Gbps of total switching capacity. Of course, that amazing figure scales down for each device, but it still translates to 48 Gbps per slot and routing performance statistics of 250 Mbps with IPv4 and 125 Mbps using IPv6. This control processor only occupies a single expansion slot in your Cisco 4500 Series cabinet, but it does the work of a whole IT department on its own.

With a 1.5 GHz processor and 4 GB SDRAM capacity, the WS-X45-SUP7-E is the perfect way to ensure your network’s brain is up to the task of keeping your transmissions and traffic in order. Of course, this control processor isn’t just internally fast, it also has four unpopulated SFP expansion slots that can directly connect it to any device you want it to talk to at high speeds.

All that computing power isn’t going to waste because the WS-X45-SUP7-E can keep track of 128000 security service entries, as well as 4096 VLANs and 4096 Switched Virtual Interfaces. It can track 70000 IPv4 multicast entries, or 64000 using IPv6, in addition to providing 16000 shared entries between the two methods. It has room for 55000 MAC addresses and 128000 IPv6 routes as well as 256000 IPv4 routes.

To ensure networking stays quick and well-organized, the WS-X45-SUP7-E tracks 128000 QoS hardware entries and 3000 Spanning Tree Protocol instances as well as 128000 of Cisco’s own original NetFlow entries. Management is easy with the Access Control Lists features, MLD snooping and the fast direct connections. Plug into the Ethernet 10/100/1000 jack or the type A USB plug and get to networking because with a refurbished WS-X45-SUP7-E, you’ll suddenly be able to do a whole lot more.
