6500 Series/Cisco 7600 Series Supervisor Engine 720-3BXL
(Sup 720-3BXL) is the third-generation supervisor engine for the Cisco Catalyst 6500
Series Switch and Cisco 7600 Series Router. It addresses the growing data-plane
requirements of service provider and enterprise customers by delivering scalable,
enhanced services such as hardware-accelerated IPv4, IPv6, and Multiprotocol Label
Switching (MPLS). The Cisco Sup 720-3BXL integrates a high-capacity crossbar
switching fabric that can deliver up to 40-Gbps capacity per slot for a total system
capacity of 720 Gbps.
Product Overview
The Cisco Sup 720-3BXL (Figure 1)
integrates a high-performance 720-Gbps
switch fabric with a new routing and
forwarding engine into a single module.
The integrated switch fabric provides up to
40-Gbps full-duplex capacity per slot,
allowing it to support third-generation
high-performance, high-density Gigabit
Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces
as well as all existing LAN, WAN, and
services modules, including the widely
deployed FlexWAN and optical services
modules to address a broad range of WAN
edge aggregation deployments from DS-0
through OC-48/STM-16.
The Cisco Sup 720-3BXL builds on the
proven Cisco Express Forwarding
architecture by supporting centralized
forwarding (Cisco Express Forwarding)
and distributed forwarding (distributed
Cisco Express Forwarding) to provide a
highly scalable and cost-effective platform.
The Cisco Sup 720-3BXL delivers a
modular, resilient, scalable, and secure
Layer 2 or Layer 3 solution by:
• Enabling advanced IP services
such as MPLS, IPv6, and quality
of service (QoS)
• Supporting high-performance,
third-generation Ethernet interfaces
• Delivering predictable and scalable
system performance up to a sustained
400 Mpps using distributed forwarding
cards (DFCs)
• Scaling hardware-capable Forwarding
Information Base (FIB) table entries to
1 million routes
• Supporting all three generations of
Ethernet line cards, optical services
modules, FlexWAN, and services
modules for investment protection
• Delivering up to 40-Gbps full-duplex
capacity per slot
• Delivering 200-Mpps hardware-based
IPv6 using DFCs
• Providing for 256,000 NetFlow entries
