4500E Supervisor Engine 8L-E (Figure 1) is an enterprise-class campus access and
price/performance aggregation supervisor engine designed to provide up to 560 Gbps per system with E-Series
chassis. The Cisco Catalyst 4500E Supervisor Engine 8L-E provides 48 Gbps per slot with best in class features
such as Flexible NetFlow (FNF), integrated Wireshark, TrustSec and MACSec security, and APIC-EM
orchestration leading to reduced total cost of ownership (TCO) and industry-leading investment protection. These
capabilities, along with four SFP/SFP+ uplinks and up to 240 Gigabit Ethernet Power over Ethernet (PoE), PoE
Plus (PoEP), and Cisco Universal PoE (UPoE) ports, make this supervisor engine the leading Cisco Access low-
scale supervisor engine in the Cisco Catalyst Family. The Supervisor Engine 8L-E is also built with price-
performance aggregation deployments in mind, helping to enable denser Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet
fiber deployments with enterprise-class aggregation functions. The Supervisor Engine 8L-E facilitates user
experiences for enterprise, public sector, midmarket, and commercial customer business-critical applications.
Cisco leadership in borderless networks is extended with important features: Cisco TrustSec
®
, Cisco MultiGig,
Flexible NetFlow, Cisco EnergyWise
®
, Cisco UPoE, and many other feature enhancements offered by the Cisco
Catalyst 4500E Supervisor Engine 8L-E. Backward and forward compatibility with most existing Cisco Catalyst
4500E line cards and power supplies helps assure deeper customer satisfaction with an industry-leading
investment protection architecture. The Cisco Catalyst Supervisor Engine 8L-E is supported in Cisco Catalyst 4500
E-Series chassis.
The Supervisor Engine 8L-E offers important innovations, including:
● 560 Gbps total capacity with 4x SFP/SFP+ uplinks and a Quad Core, 1.8Ghz CPU
● Cisco Universal Power over Ethernet (UPOE) for unprecedented convergence to IP network infrastructure
● Campus ready for connectivity to next-generation NBASE-T
™
compatible endpoints such as 802.11ac
Wave2 multigigabit access points, multigigabit switches, network interface cards (NICs), and adapters
● Application visibility through Flexible NetFlow.
● Virtual Switching System (VSS) for operational simplicity and resiliency
● Cisco IOS
®
XE Software, which provides the ability to host third-party applications
● Energy efficiency with support for 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE)-capable line cards
● Industry-leading resiliency through In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU)
● First and only modular switch with 8 bidirectional line-rate Switched Port Analyzer/Remote SPAN
(SPAN/RSPAN) sessions
