Operating System (Catalyst OS) Software Release 8.3 for the

Supervisor Engine Supports Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Supervisors

OVERVIEW

Cisco Systems

Catalyst OS provides 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. With Cisco Catalyst OS and Cisco IOS

Software, the system in a hybrid mode is used for offering Layer 2 through 4 services suited

for WAN edge, core, and distribution layer deployments. Cisco is committed to delivering

feature enhancements in Cisco Catalyst OS, supporting Layer 2 through 7 services with

existing and advanced supervisor engines and modules.

Cisco Catalyst OS Software Release 8.3 supports three generations of supervisor engines—

Supervisor Engine 1A, Supervisor Engine 2, and the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Supervisor

Engine 720.

Cisco Catalyst OS 8.3 supports all hardware and software supported in Release 8.2 and

brings the following important benefits to the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series:

• Cisco Catalyst OS 8.3 introduces support for policy feature card (PFC)3BXL. The

PFC3BXL firmly positions the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series with Cisco Catalyst OS 8.3

hybrid in the most demanding high-performance core network environments.

• Cisco Catalyst OS 8.3 enables support for the 48-port Small Form-Factor Pluggable

(SFP)-based module (WS-X6748-SFP).

• Cisco Catalyst OS 8.3 brings the latest innovations in wiring closet security—“Cisco

Catalyst Security Toolkit” consisting of Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)

Snooping, Dynamic Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) Inspection, and IP Source

Guard. Together, these innovations offer the highest level of security in the intelligent

wiring closet.
