Used Cisco Distributed Forwarding Card for 6700 Series Switching Module

Part # WS-X6708-10G-3C

Product Description: Cisco ME 3400 Series and 6700 Series - The Cisco WS-X6708-10G-3C is an 8-port 10 GbE module: 200 MB per port. The scheduler is Shaped Round Robin (SSR) in egress which allows for efficient handling of bursty traffic. The differentiated services code point (DSCP)-based queue mapping allows both ingress and egress queuing based on Layer3 TOS and provides  granular classes of traffic. By default, it comes 1 GB DRAM which allows for a large storage forwarding table.

The 8-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet module with DFC3C for the # WS-X6708-10G-3C power requirements are 444.36W (10.58A @ 42V). The 8-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet module with DFC3CXL for the # WS-X6708-10G-3CXL power requirements are 473.76W (11.82A @ 42V).

The WS-X6708-10G-3C and WS-X6708-10G-3CXL are 8-port 10GbE modules that have 40 Gbps connection capabilities and can demonstrate up to 64 Gbps local switching. The distributed forwarding card (DFC) can forward traffic at 48 Mpps. To provide 40 Gbps local switching, you can use only half the ports.

The default memory for both WS-X6708-10G-3C and WS-X6708-10G-3CXL is 1 GB DRAM. The WS-X6708-10G-3C comes with a 3C distributed forwarding card (WS-F6700-DFC3C) and supports 256K routes; and the WS-X6708-10G-3CXL comes with a 3CXL distributed forwarding card (WS-F6700-DFC3CXL).

The Catalyst 6500 Series 10 Gigabit Ethernet modules are designed for deployment in the distribution and core of campus and data center for traffic aggregation or for interbuilding, points of presence (POPs), WAN edge, and MAN connections. These modules support IEEE 802.3ad link aggregation and Cisco EtherChannel technology for fault-tolerant connectivity and bandwidth scalability of up to 80 Gbps per EtherChannel connection. In addition, they support hardware based quality of service (QoS), access control lists (ACLs), and jumbo frames to enable secure and predictable performance for bandwidth-intensive applications.

The Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Distributed Forwarding Card 3 (DFC3) is an optional daughter card for CEF720-based line cards. The DFC3 provides localized forwarding decisions for each line card and scales the aggregate system performance to reach up to 400 mpps. The DFC3BXL offers enhancements to support Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) and Access Control Entries (ACE) counters on the Cisco 6700 Series line cards. The DFC3BXL also has improved scalability to support one million IPv4 routes and 256-KB NetFlow entries.
