Distributed forwarding mode and performance—Equipped with the field-upgradeable WS-F6K-DFC or WS-F6K-DFC3 dCEF forwarding
daughter cards; the interface module delivers optimal performance, up to a sustained 24 Mpps per slot, by using the dCEF engine and dCEF tables
located on the DFC/DFC3 daughter card
•
Optics—Supports hot-pluggable gigabit interface converters (GBICs)

CISCO CATALYST 6500 SERIES CEF256 GIGABIT ETHERNET MIXED MEDIA INTERFACE MODULES
Designed for data center and server farm applications, Cisco Catalyst CEF256 optical interface modules provide line-rate Gigabit Ethernet
forwarding with the following operational advantages:
•
Backplane connection—Connects to the switch fabric using one 8 Gbps full-duplex connection as well as supporting a connection to the 32 Gbps
shared bus
•
Slot requirements—Can occupy any slot in any Catalyst 6500 Series chassis
•
Supervisor engine—Supported by the Supervisor Engine 1A, Supervisor Engine 2, or Supervisor Engine 720
•
Base forwarding mode and performance—Uses the central CEF engine located on the supervisor engine to forward packets up to 30 Mpps per
system in the interface module’s base configuration
•
Distributed forwarding upgrade option and performance—When equipped with the optional field-upgradeable WS-F6K-DFC or WS-F6K-
DFC3 dCEF forwarding daughter cards, the interface module delivers optimal performance, up to a sustained 15 Mpps per slot; requires a switch
fabric equipped chassis using either the SFM/SFM2 with a Supervisor Engine 2 with MSFC2 or the Supervisor Engine 720
•
Optics—Supports hot-pluggable gigabit interface converters (GBICs)
Supervisor Engine 720 communicates with a CEF256 interface module in 256 Gbps mode. The SFM is not required when using the
Supervisor Engine 720.
