Supervisor Engine 6L-E
Supervisor Engine 6L-E
This section describes the Catalyst 4500 E-series Supervisor Engine 6L-E (WS-X45-SUP6L-E). See
Figure
1. This supervisor engine provides IPv6 data path and data control for all Layer 2 network
interfaces, and provides 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces for uplinks.
The Supervisor Engine 6L-E is supported in the Catalyst 4503, 4506, 4507R, 4503-E, 4506-E, and
4507R-E switches. On the Catalyst 4503, 4503-E, 4506, and 4506-E switches, you can install the
Supervisor Engine 6L-E only in slot 1. On the Catalyst 4507R switch, you install the primary supervisor
engine in slot 1, and you can install an optional redundant supervisor engine in slot 2. On the Catalyst
4507R-E switch, you install the primary supervisor engine in slot 3, and you can install an optional
redundant supervisor engine in slot 4. The supervisor engines in a redundant system must be of the same
type.
The supervisor engine is hot swappable, but packets are not forwarded when the last supervisor engine
has been removed from the switch. When a supervisor engine is reinserted into the switch, the supervisor
engine reboots.
