Catalyst
®
Operating System (Catalyst OS) Software Release 8.4 for the supervisor engine supports the Cisco
Catalyst 6500 Series multilayer switches.
OVERVIEW
Cisco Catalyst OS continues to provide several innovative features in the areas of high availability, operational manageability, security, and quality
of service (QoS), allowing customers to deploy scalable, highly available, and secure networks from the access layer to the WAN edge. Cisco
Catalyst OS as a Layer 2 Forwarding software targets the wiring closets or access layer service deployments. Along with Cisco Catalyst OS and
Cisco IOS
®
Software, the system in a hybrid mode can be used for offering Layer 2 through 4 services suited for WAN edge, core, and distribution
layer deployments. Cisco Systems
®
is committed to delivering feature enhancements in Cisco Catalyst OS, supporting Layer 2 through 7 services
with existing and next-generation supervisor engines and modules.
Cisco Catalyst OS Software Release 8.4 supports four generations of supervisor engines—Supervisor Engine 1A, Supervisor Engine 2, Supervisor
Engine 720, and the recently announced Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Supervisor Engine 32.
Cisco Catalyst OS 8.4 supports all hardware and software supported in Cisco Catalyst OS Release 8.3. In addition, Cisco Catalyst OS 8.4 brings
the following important benefits to the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series:
•
Cisco Catalyst OS 8.4 introduces support for the Supervisor Engine 32 with Policy Feature Card 3B, bringing the Supervisor Engine 720 level
of advanced services into the access layer. Supervisor Engine 32 provides investment protection for current Cisco Catalyst 6500 deployments
by supporting all existing classic and Cisco Express Forwarding 256-based modules and helping enable new applications.
